00:00:00.919 --> 00:00:09.280
today we're going to be having a look at the Zotac h55 ITX Wi-Fi mind you that's

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:14.280
not really the whole story today this is the whole story now with USB 3.0 because

00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:19.720
they had a board called this before but this is the C- e revision which features

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.240
USB 3.0 now I don't think we ever actually unboxed the original board so

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:28.279
why don't we run through all of the aspects of this board since this is an

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.759
unboxing in First Look it's an h55 board

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:36.239
so it does feature an LGA 11 56 socket with support for core I3 Core i5 and

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:39.160
even core i7 quad cores up to a Max TDP

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.399
of 95 Watts we have Intel quick path technology Intel HD graphics ready

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:48.680
although this is the big one PCI Express 16x because HD graphics is not quite as

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:54.120
impressive as being able to put a GTX 480 on a motherboard that's smaller than

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.120
a GTX

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:03.160
480 there it is okay hold on there's more though dual Channel DDR3 up to 13

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:08.119
33 MHz two dims up to 8 gigs of RAM six SATA to stop moving the what are you

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:14.200
doing oh I guess that makes sense 10 USB 2.0 ports 2 USB 3.0 ports that's a lot

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:17.320
of USB gigabit Lan 802.11 n Wi-Fi that

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:21.320
is n standard Wi-Fi up to 300 megabits

00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:25.520
per second and that is one featur rich

00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:28.720
board so here this is your antenna plug

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.040
PCI bracket thing so you will use this

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.320
to plug in your antennas which are also included with the board like they really

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.439
do include everything it's kind of neat how sometimes you know when you compare

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:44.200
like a a of like a small product it seems to

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.200
come with a big accessory

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:51.399
package there's two antennas there is a

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:54.399
DVI to VGA adapter that is an I/O back

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:56.240
plate very solid feeling here's an

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:01.360
extension cable in just case you need to extend your CPU four pin connector to a

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:06.799
longer CPU four pin connector then you've got three SATA cables which is an

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:12.879
odd amount and finally a quick installation guide and finally again a

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:17.160
users manual with a DVD that you should CD rather that you should throw away and

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:22.400
download the latest from Zotac check that out lifetime warranty in USA Mexico

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:29.959
Canada and Latin American so Latin America so uh yeah eat it Europe Middle

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.160
East and APAC that's Asian Pacific asan

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:35.400
I believe something like that anyway we

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:41.599
win we get a lifetime warranty you get only a 5year warranty which is actually

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.480
still pretty freaking good for a

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.360
motherboard five years is uh is is

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:51.720
actually outstanding compared to some of the tier one motherboard

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.319
manufacturers so here we are let's have a look at the overall board layout I

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.640
thought this was actually I thought I was showing you the board right side up

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.200
but it looks like I'm not it looks like now I'm showing you the board right side

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:07.319
up so let's start with the CPU socket as I mentioned before this is an LGA 1156

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:13.640
socket with all the latest Intel processors supported that is the ones on

00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:16.760
this socket not the LGA 1366 processors

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:18.879
we have a PCI Express 16x slot we have a

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:22.680
four pin CPU power connector we got a heat sink right about here you can see

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.040
this had to be kind of machined down in order to make room for the CPU fan but

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:31.840
that means it's going to get a lot of incidental air flow from whatever fan you do install and you better make sure

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:34.920
whatever CPU heat sink you install it's giving that some airf flow because this

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:38.560
is meant to be installed in cramped cases where cooling isn't always the

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:44.920
best and if it's designed to work this way make sure it works this way we have

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.560
a battery we have our h55 chipset six

00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:52.120
SATA 2 ports two USB headers I mean really this thing has like a ton of USB

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.159
I mean what is that 10 USB 2.0 on the back let me just verify that really

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.439
quick No 1 2 3 4 5 6 no no that included

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:04.079
the the the four here okay so 10 total and then two USB 3.0 so it's all good

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:08.360
all right we have our Wireless N PC mini PCI Express card as well as our dual

00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:14.680
Channel DDR3 slot supporting up to 8 gigs of RAM and a 24 pin connector here

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:17.239
is your CPU no this is system fan and

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:21.560
this is your CPU fan connector so you have two four pin pwm fan connectors on

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:26.360
this particular board here is your front panel connector headers and then that

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.840
looks like your front audio connector right there this board does not include

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:35.240
fire wire which is fine because fire wire is mostly useless anyway and let's

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.560
have a look at the io on the back here we go we have a reset SEO switch that is

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:46.960
Hardcore I want you to look closely at that cameraman clear SOS on the back

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:50.880
panel I love this on a board like that's

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:53.680
barely as big as a simos battery it's

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:58.400
epic it's awesome if that doesn't call for overclocking then I don't know what

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.000
else does so we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:07.759
2.0 ports as I mentioned before two USB 3.0 ports a PS2 Port which I do still

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.320
like to see DVI HDMI eat gigabit

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:15.240
Ethernet optical audio out as well as 7.1 audio and then this is another thing

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:21.240
that I just think I should call attention to I talked about this uh

00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:22.919
previously on an ASUS video card look at

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.680
the matte black PCB I mean that is

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:33.120
awesome everything should come with a matte black PCB I mean look at it it

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:38.759
makes everything look way cooler I mean if if Batman was in like glossy piano

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:43.479
black or you know that that color that's like more like brown than black like if

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.919
Batman wore that color he wouldn't look as cool but he wears matte black and

00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:52.759
that's why he looks awesome unless you watch the really old show where he wears

00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.560
like gray and it's like

00:05:52.759 --> 00:06:00.400
tights Batman was less cool then thank you for watching lus Tech tips and don't
