WEBVTT 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:13.480 Corsair RM series power supplies are optimized for silent operation click now 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.440 to learn more welcome to my unboxing of 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:20.560 a product that gets me personally extremely excited more so than an Rog 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:25.160 board or a regular motherboard definitely this is the P9 00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:31.519 x79 ews so this is an updated version of the 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:33.719 P9 x79 WS WS is for workstation which is 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 00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:44.680 able to run a highly capable gaming machine it just means that it goes 00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:47.600 beyond that to more like workstation or 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:51.239 even you know light Home Server grade validation and componentry so on the 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.640 front you're going to find the usual core i7 extreme and NVIDIA SLI and AMD 00:00:53.800 --> 00:01:00.120 cross fireex Badges and all that stuff but whoa hold on a minute what's this 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:04.760 Zeon 5 support yeah you can chuck a Zeon here in ECC memory NVIDIA Tesla support 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.880 it's actually validated to run with NVIDIA Tesla compute cards uh that's 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.560 something you're not going to find on your typical run-of-the-mill $100 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.439 motherboard not only that but check this out guys so there's a little badge right 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 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.079 at a 16x link speed now there is some 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.840 you know of course it takes some funny business to make that happen with 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:37.119 respect to you know plx switches or whatever else but if you want four cards 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.399 running at 16x then this is pretty much 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:42.880 the only way to go it's got full support 00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:48.680 for the latest ivybridge e processors on the LGA 2011 platform it's also got 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.280 support for the older LGA 2011 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:56.719 sandybridge ebased processor so anything with that fits in an LGA 2011 socket you 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.320 can pretty much put in here and let's go 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:04.000 ahead and spread out all the accessories cuz it comes with absolutely everything 00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:06.840 so four-way s Bridge right there nice uh 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:12.000 sexy black four-way s Bridge four or rather three-way s Bridge right there it 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 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 00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:24.200 there then we've got a regular SLI 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 00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:34.040 cables so four of them are straight for them are right angle actually sorry two 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 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:41.640 these included with one of their boards in a while and check this out a Serial 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 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.959 a DVD and Q connectors and a quick start 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:56.280 users guide or users guide whatever you want to call it so who is this 00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.360 motherboard for if it can overclock and 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:02.239 it can game but it's validated with Teslas and all this stuff well well the 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.440 answer is pretty much anyone particularly people like me where you're 00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:10.239 doing video editing and you have some pretty exotic weird hardware and what 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:16.000 would otherwise be considered a gaming rig so I'm running a graphics card which 00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:19.720 happens to be a dual GPU graphics card so sometimes there's compatibility 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 00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:28.080 with eight ssds on it so I need maximum throughput to my card I need 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:34.319 compatibility which I'm not getting with my current Gigabyte x79 s up5 and I 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 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.720 kind of a a weird thing internally here we run quadros all that kind of stuff 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 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 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:54.079 improved with the ews so they've improved the power delivery it's got 00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:59.120 their latest digital power for both the CPU as well as the memory they've also 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:03.760 got a newly updated ufi so of course full support for ivybridge E the Zeon 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:08.360 based CPUs remember those are required for ECC memory support so if you do want 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:13.319 to run ECC RAM which is basically a more stable reliable memory particularly for 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.199 high-capacity configurations it has the same overclocking options as you'd find 00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:20.959 on any other board but because of the quality of the components it's going to 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 00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.360 Rampage for Black Edition just because those ones are really tuned and tweaked 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:35.199 for iy Bridge e now there's some other updated stuff as well the Dual Intel 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.960 Ethernet solution is probably mostly geared towards the pro users but 00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.360 basically it's two 210 series controllers that offer better throughput 00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:48.479 lower CPU utilization as well as some more um you know more prograde 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:52.639 controller options so you it's optimized for things like virtual machines for 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.000 example uh let's cover the layout so what you may or may not have noticed 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 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:04.400 most complete IO that you will ever see 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:08.280 there's seven full PCI Express slots 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.440 there are 10 SATA connectors there is 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 00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:19.680 board this can be used for things like encryption keys that would normally be 00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:23.280 just permanently plugged into the system unless you wanted to remove them all 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.759 that kind of really cool stuff you've got your eight pin CPU connector in its 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:31.960 ideal location along the top left you've got some of the cooling For That 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:36.960 Advanced vrm over here and then there's actually a heat pipe that connects it to 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:42.360 a secondary set of sort of heat sink fins over here that allows you to 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:46.360 dissipate some additional heat with the incidental air flow that's going to come 00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:51.639 from your CPU cooling solution so this is also connected via a heat pipe to 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.919 this massive sort of I guess block of 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 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 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.120 memory slots so these are going to be running at higher speeds than what you'd 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.759 have seen on the older board particularly because ivybridge e CPUs 00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:13.599 have a stronger memory controller than Sandy Bridge e CPUs the 24 pin 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.000 connectors in its ideal location along the right hand Edge you still got things 00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:22.680 like onboard power and reset buttons as well as their M button which allows you 00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:26.360 to boot even with sort of weird memory configurations gives you a chance to 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.840 actually configure them it has an epu switch over here as well as its USB 3 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 00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:38.840 could have one you've got two SATA 36 GB 00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:43.639 per second and four SATA 2 3 gbit per second connectors running off the Intel 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:46.960 chipset and four SATA 3 6 gbit per second connectors running off of an 00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:51.000 updated controller that ASUS has added to this board that has support for their 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.639 new SSD caching to which allows you to use an unlimited size SSD to cach your 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 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.440 that you to a 60 gig SSD onboard post 00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:09.720 readout onboard front panel connectors which of course you have I explained the 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.840 USB port here before uh front USB 2 just 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.879 one header for that front fire wire as 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 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.280 optimizing for performance as opposed to 00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:29.879 epu which is more about optimizing for power efficiency now let's get into that 00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:32.840 PCI Express configuration so all all the 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:37.080 blue slots are capable of running at full 16x speed even with all of them 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.319 populated so if you were running a four-way graphics card configuration you 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.759 would plug into all the blue ones this top blue one runs at 16x regardless but 00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:49.800 the other blue and black ones will split into 8X 8X mode once you start to 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:56.039 populate them so the black ones only run at 8X the 16 ones run at 00:07:53.319 --> 00:08:00.159 16x which is pretty fast now if you were to populate all those cards and you 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:02.919 weren't to plug in any auxiliary power you would actually have a very good 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.560 chance of burning out your 24 pin connector over here because they 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:10.720 particularly High draw graphics cards and things like that draw Power not only 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 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.159 this six pin PCIe connector right here if you've got any more than probably 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.919 about two high draw cards plugged into these PCI Express slots that's going to 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 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 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 00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:38.240 keyboard mouse combo Port USB bi flashback this is Handy cuz even if you 00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:42.320 brick the board in the middle of a flash you can usually restore it optical audio 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:49.160 out those dual Intel gigb Ethernet controllers as well as USB 3 and ah yes 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:54.640 dual eeta 6 gabit per second so that is 00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:56.640 fast eeta 7.1 audio out and I mean 00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:02.079 realistically what do you use something like this for for me extreme ly high-end 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 00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:11.519 know a video capture device in order to run like a really high-end camera for 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 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 00:09:19.079 --> 00:09:27.399 workstation that is going to be running you know fire G cards or quadros or 00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:29.000 Teslas or you know quad gigabit Ethernet 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:33.160 NYX or any of those kinds of things that require not only the compatibility that 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:38.519 it's validated for but also the throughput because if you plug some of 00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:42.120 these cards into you know slots that might look like 16x slots on regular 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:46.519 consumer boards but are actually running at 8X or 4X or whatever speed they're 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:49.760 running at you might not get the maximum performance that you should be able to 00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:53.120 achieve with that card so we're going to be using this board for an upcoming 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:57.760 ultimate build guide that'll be sort of what we'd consider to be the ultimate 00:09:55.320 --> 00:10:01.279 video editing rig and I'm extremely excited about that so I think that 00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.399 pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p9x 79e 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:11.160 deluxe did I say Deluxe because I meant WS it's certainly you know Deluxe enough 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 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:18.279 dislike it if you disliked it and leave a comment letting us know what you 00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:23.590 thought about the video if you had some feelings that just can't be expressed 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:28.059 with a thumbs up or a thumbs down 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.519 oh
