1
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:13,480
Corsair RM series power supplies are optimized for silent operation click now

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,440
to learn more welcome to my unboxing of

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,560
a product that gets me personally extremely excited more so than an Rog

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:25,160
board or a regular motherboard definitely this is the P9

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:31,519
x79 ews so this is an updated version of the

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,719
P9 x79 WS WS is for workstation which is

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:39,640
not to say that this board is not going to be a highly capable overclocker or R

8
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:44,680
able to run a highly capable gaming machine it just means that it goes

9
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:47,600
beyond that to more like workstation or

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:51,239
even you know light Home Server grade validation and componentry so on the

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,640
front you're going to find the usual core i7 extreme and NVIDIA SLI and AMD

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,120
cross fireex Badges and all that stuff but whoa hold on a minute what's this

13
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:04,760
Zeon 5 support yeah you can chuck a Zeon here in ECC memory NVIDIA Tesla support

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,880
it's actually validated to run with NVIDIA Tesla compute cards uh that's

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,560
something you're not going to find on your typical run-of-the-mill $100

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,439
motherboard not only that but check this out guys so there's a little badge right

17
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:25,280
there you can go have a look at while I open up the box fourway SLI or Crossfire

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,079
at a 16x link speed now there is some

19
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,840
you know of course it takes some funny business to make that happen with

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:37,119
respect to you know plx switches or whatever else but if you want four cards

21
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,399
running at 16x then this is pretty much

22
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,880
the only way to go it's got full support

23
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:48,680
for the latest ivybridge e processors on the LGA 2011 platform it's also got

24
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,280
support for the older LGA 2011

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:56,719
sandybridge ebased processor so anything with that fits in an LGA 2011 socket you

26
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,320
can pretty much put in here and let's go

27
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:04,000
ahead and spread out all the accessories cuz it comes with absolutely everything

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,840
so four-way s Bridge right there nice uh

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
sexy black four-way s Bridge four or rather three-way s Bridge right there it

30
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:16,519
also comes with check this out fire wire header and USB 2.0 headers so just in

31
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:22,440
case you still need fire wire it's like it's got everything IO Shield is right

32
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:24,200
there then we've got a regular SLI

33
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Bridge wish that was black but I guess you know whatever it's not really targeted directly at Gamers eight SATA

34
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,040
cables so four of them are straight for them are right angle actually sorry two

35
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,760
more SATA cables as well as a Molex to dual SATA adapter haven't seen one of

36
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,640
these included with one of their boards in a while and check this out a Serial

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Port Riser so you can go ahead and throw that in one of your extra PCI slots and

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,959
a DVD and Q connectors and a quick start

39
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:56,280
users guide or users guide whatever you want to call it so who is this

40
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,360
motherboard for if it can overclock and

41
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,239
it can game but it's validated with Teslas and all this stuff well well the

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,440
answer is pretty much anyone particularly people like me where you're

43
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:10,239
doing video editing and you have some pretty exotic weird hardware and what

44
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:16,000
would otherwise be considered a gaming rig so I'm running a graphics card which

45
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,720
happens to be a dual GPU graphics card so sometimes there's compatibility

46
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,599
issues there I am running a high-end RAID controller so it's an LSI 926 8i

47
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:28,080
with eight ssds on it so I need maximum throughput to my card I need

48
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:34,319
compatibility which I'm not getting with my current Gigabyte x79 s up5 and I

49
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,840
could I was running a 10 GB network card so that's another thing that might be

50
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,720
kind of a a weird thing internally here we run quadros all that kind of stuff

51
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,120
you might also want to run a high-end sound card it's going to be validated

52
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,000
it's going to actually work so let's go let's move into what they've actually

53
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:54,079
improved with the ews so they've improved the power delivery it's got

54
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:59,120
their latest digital power for both the CPU as well as the memory they've also

55
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,760
got a newly updated ufi so of course full support for ivybridge E the Zeon

56
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:08,360
based CPUs remember those are required for ECC memory support so if you do want

57
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:13,319
to run ECC RAM which is basically a more stable reliable memory particularly for

58
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,199
high-capacity configurations it has the same overclocking options as you'd find

59
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:20,959
on any other board but because of the quality of the components it's going to

60
00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:27,240
probably do better than most of the other boards with the exception of probably the x79 deluxe as well as the

61
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Rampage for Black Edition just because those ones are really tuned and tweaked

62
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,199
for iy Bridge e now there's some other updated stuff as well the Dual Intel

63
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Ethernet solution is probably mostly geared towards the pro users but

64
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:43,360
basically it's two 210 series controllers that offer better throughput

65
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:48,479
lower CPU utilization as well as some more um you know more prograde

66
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,639
controller options so you it's optimized for things like virtual machines for

67
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,000
example uh let's cover the layout so what you may or may not have noticed

68
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,720
about this board is it's a little bit on the wider side and it has some of the

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,400
most complete IO that you will ever see

70
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:08,280
there's seven full PCI Express slots

71
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,440
there are 10 SATA connectors there is

72
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,680
pretty much everything you could possibly imagine there's a USB port built in to the bottom right hand of the

73
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,680
board this can be used for things like encryption keys that would normally be

74
00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:23,280
just permanently plugged into the system unless you wanted to remove them all

75
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,759
that kind of really cool stuff you've got your eight pin CPU connector in its

76
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,960
ideal location along the top left you've got some of the cooling For That

77
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Advanced vrm over here and then there's actually a heat pipe that connects it to

78
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,360
a secondary set of sort of heat sink fins over here that allows you to

79
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,360
dissipate some additional heat with the incidental air flow that's going to come

80
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:51,639
from your CPU cooling solution so this is also connected via a heat pipe to

81
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:52,919
this massive sort of I guess block of

82
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:57,880
metal down here hard to call it a heat sink which is then connected by heat pipe to this guy right here so cooling

83
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,639
is actually spread out a fair bit on the board you've got eight DDR are three

84
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,120
memory slots so these are going to be running at higher speeds than what you'd

85
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,759
have seen on the older board particularly because ivybridge e CPUs

86
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,599
have a stronger memory controller than Sandy Bridge e CPUs the 24 pin

87
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
connectors in its ideal location along the right hand Edge you still got things

88
00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:22,680
like onboard power and reset buttons as well as their M button which allows you

89
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,360
to boot even with sort of weird memory configurations gives you a chance to

90
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,840
actually configure them it has an epu switch over here as well as its USB 3

91
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:36,440
front panel header in its ideal location along the right hand Edge although I'd like to see a right angle connector if I

92
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,840
could have one you've got two SATA 36 GB

93
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:43,639
per second and four SATA 2 3 gbit per second connectors running off the Intel

94
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,960
chipset and four SATA 3 6 gbit per second connectors running off of an

95
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:51,000
updated controller that ASUS has added to this board that has support for their

96
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,639
new SSD caching to which allows you to use an unlimited size SSD to cach your

97
00:06:53,160 --> 00:07:02,400
mechanical volumes remember they do have to all be plugged into the same controller versus Intel's rst technology

98
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,440
that you to a 60 gig SSD onboard post

99
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,720
readout onboard front panel connectors which of course you have I explained the

100
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:12,840
USB port here before uh front USB 2 just

101
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,879
one header for that front fire wire as

102
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:21,280
well as there's that serial front panel audio and your TPU switch so that's for

103
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,280
optimizing for performance as opposed to

104
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:29,879
epu which is more about optimizing for power efficiency now let's get into that

105
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:32,840
PCI Express configuration so all all the

106
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:37,080
blue slots are capable of running at full 16x speed even with all of them

107
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:41,319
populated so if you were running a four-way graphics card configuration you

108
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,759
would plug into all the blue ones this top blue one runs at 16x regardless but

109
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:49,800
the other blue and black ones will split into 8X 8X mode once you start to

110
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:56,039
populate them so the black ones only run at 8X the 16 ones run at

111
00:07:53,319 --> 00:08:00,159
16x which is pretty fast now if you were to populate all those cards and you

112
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,919
weren't to plug in any auxiliary power you would actually have a very good

113
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:07,560
chance of burning out your 24 pin connector over here because they

114
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,720
particularly High draw graphics cards and things like that draw Power not only

115
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,240
from the connectors that are plugged directly into them but also from the slot so you're going to want to plug in

116
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,159
this six pin PCIe connector right here if you've got any more than probably

117
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,919
about two high draw cards plugged into these PCI Express slots that's going to

118
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,280
make sure that you don't burn out your board which is going to be big problem

119
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,879
for you when we move around to the back of the board we find out why there

120
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:34,719
weren't any USB 2.0 headers because there's 10 usb2 ports on the back a PS2

121
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,240
keyboard mouse combo Port USB bi flashback this is Handy cuz even if you

122
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:42,320
brick the board in the middle of a flash you can usually restore it optical audio

123
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:49,160
out those dual Intel gigb Ethernet controllers as well as USB 3 and ah yes

124
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:54,640
dual eeta 6 gabit per second so that is

125
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:56,640
fast eeta 7.1 audio out and I mean

126
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:02,079
realistically what do you use something like this for for me extreme ly high-end

127
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:07,200
gaming rig with weird Hardware in it maybe you're someone who uses um I don't

128
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,519
know a video capture device in order to run like a really high-end camera for

129
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:17,440
your game stream or whatever else you might want to do with it um that that is

130
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:21,120
who I see this being uh aboard for or if you're looking to build something like a

131
00:09:19,079 --> 00:09:27,399
workstation that is going to be running you know fire G cards or quadros or

132
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Teslas or you know quad gigabit Ethernet

133
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:33,160
NYX or any of those kinds of things that require not only the compatibility that

134
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:38,519
it's validated for but also the throughput because if you plug some of

135
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:42,120
these cards into you know slots that might look like 16x slots on regular

136
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,519
consumer boards but are actually running at 8X or 4X or whatever speed they're

137
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,760
running at you might not get the maximum performance that you should be able to

138
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,120
achieve with that card so we're going to be using this board for an upcoming

139
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:57,760
ultimate build guide that'll be sort of what we'd consider to be the ultimate

140
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,279
video editing rig and I'm extremely excited about that so I think that

141
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:06,399
pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p9x 79e

142
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:11,160
deluxe did I say Deluxe because I meant WS it's certainly you know Deluxe enough

143
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,200
for you know from my perspective don't forget to like the video if you liked it

144
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,279
dislike it if you disliked it and leave a comment letting us know what you

145
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:23,590
thought about the video if you had some feelings that just can't be expressed

146
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:28,059
with a thumbs up or a thumbs down

147
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,519
oh
