WEBVTT 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.600 well I have to confess it's taken me far too long to get started on unboxing the 00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:11.480 h55 motherboards that are available to me but I'm going to get started today 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.480 we've got the h55m S2 this is a Gigabyte 00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.880 board it has their three-year standard warranty as well as a host of other 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.600 features now this is an LGA 1156 board 00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:26.560 okay it supports Core i5 and core I3 has an h55 chipset blah blah blah HDMI DVI 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:33.360 now what's interesting about those two things is that they only work if you're 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.520 using a core I3 or a core i5 dual core 00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.440 as of the time of filming this so even though you've actually got support for 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:45.600 the core i5 quad cores as well as the core i7 quad cores on LGA 1156 you 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:49.680 cannot use the Onboard video if you're using one of those processors so the 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.520 reason for that is that the Onboard video is actually on the CPU it is not 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.719 on the motherboard chipset so this is a fairly low-end board we're going to get 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.239 started here we've got a users's manual inside Windows 7 support awesome good to 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.320 see all right then you've got your uh your driver installation DVD now this is 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.680 very strange they've got like features on here that this board totally doesn't 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:13.640 have which threw me off when I first opened this it does not have their 333 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.400 onboard acceleration it does not have Ultra durable 3 okay that's like a very 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.280 strange thing anyway don't use that DVD download the latest drivers off the Gigabyte website so then you've got your 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.360 smart 6 a smart way for PC system management it's got a bunch of utilities 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.079 and whatnot okay then you've got a multilingual installation guide book 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:37.479 okay so a bunch of different languages shows you how to install a CPU how to install RAM pretty good stuff okay then 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:40.880 you have an IDE cable and two SATA cables that is it for the cables 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:48.280 included with this board and then you have an IO Shield okay that was all not 00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:53.280 all that exciting so let's get this board 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:55.360 open all right so like I actually I 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.200 didn't say this it's a microatx board it's a fairly low-end board so you're 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:03.640 not going to find a lot of the high-end features now the H50 5 is kind of like a 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:08.319 cut down p-55 in some ways so it has all the same basic support you've got 00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:14.680 support for the LGA 1156 socket you've got support for dual Channel DDR3 you've 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:17.400 got support for PCI Express 16x * 1 now 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:22.680 this board see this is a PCI Express 8X Port you can see that it's oh no this is 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:27.120 a 4X Port it's an 8X port with four okay so this is not a crossfire ready board 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.120 even though they've got a plastic 16x slot here it's actually only wired for 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:35.599 4X so wouldn't get satisfactory Crossfire support even though they do 00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.280 have a crossfire logo here so it will run but if you're running any kind of 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.640 decent high-end cards it's not going to get the best performance mind you if 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.120 you're running Crossfire with decently high-end cards why are you buying this 00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:50.720 board anyway you've got your voltage Regulators here so the no extra cooling 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.319 nothing like that all right let's just have a look at what we do have on this board stop talking about what it doesn't 00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.840 have we still got a floppy Port got a couple USB headers there's your front 00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:03.680 panel connectors right there you've got six SATA 2 ports ports no SATA 3 ports 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.840 are included with this board okay despite what it said on the driver disc 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:12.640 the 24 Port the 24 pin power connectors on the right hand edge of the board in 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.799 its desired place along with an IDE port and then up at the top of the board 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.680 you've got your four pin power so this board does not have an 8 Pin power 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.599 connector because I guess they figure you just don't need it with the kind of 00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:27.400 chips you should be putting in this board you've only got two slots for DDR3 00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:31.959 so that means you're going to be limited to a practical maximum of 8 gigs if you 00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:35.480 can afford 4 gig dims at this time which will likely go down in price but it is 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:40.840 going to be a bit of a limitation for some users okay then on the back we've 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:46.159 got a PS2 um keyboard mouse combo Port I really like these then we have eight USB 00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.040 2.0 ports no USB 3.0 ports and then we 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:54.200 have three video outputs one VGA one DVI and one HDMI please note you cannot use 00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:59.079 these outputs they are just dead connections unless you are running a 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.000 core I3 or a core i5 dual core with 00:03:59.079 --> 00:04:07.280 integrated graphics on the CPU okay then we've got onboard optical audio out 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.400 onboard gigabit landan and 7.1 audio 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:15.040 thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Gigabyte gah h55m s2h
