00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,080
today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Gigabyte h67 a ud3h it

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:11,759
has a three-year warranty as you may or may not have noticed it supports Intel

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:18,760
Core Series processors on LGA 1155 and it uses the h67 chipset so that

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,800
means it supports turbo boost but it

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,640
does not support overclocking on unlocked CPUs and it does not support

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,560
turning up turbo CPUs past their default

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,360
turbo mode so I'm sorry if that's confusing but that's really the best I

8
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:36,399
can do with it it is compatible with core i5s but it is also compatible with

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,079
core i7s which the only difference is they have more cach and they feature

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,480
hyperthreading and when we have Intel core i3s on their second generation core

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:50,920
series processors it'll likely support those too up here there's a little note

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,480
LGA 1155 CPU only that is 100% correct

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:59,199
if you try and put an LGA 1156 CPU in this board bad things will happen none

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:03,920
of them good okay we have Ultra durable 3 which means we have have the 2x copper

15
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:05,840
PCB for you know better heat dissipation

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,000
more conductivity all that good stuff we also have gigabytes 333 concept although

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:17,680
the sticker appears to be missing from the box so USB 3.0 which is fast USB

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,560
power 3x which is a cool feature because

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:26,720
it allows you to use a hub on any one of the USB ports on this board and plug in

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,840
three times as much power draw as you

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,399
would be able to normally do with a hub so that's kind of neat okay we have SATA

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,240
3.0 which is good and over here we have onoff charge which means that even when

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,159
your system is powered off you can charge devices such as say for example

24
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:45,159
your iPhone and what other relevant stuff do we have ooh dual BIOS so it's

25
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:50,000
very very difficult to wreck your board by corrupting the BIOS it also

26
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:54,200
apparently supports ATI Crossfire X technology although I can imagine it's

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,320
not an ideal configuration with an h67 chipset board here is a big big warning

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:09,280
yeah we had a little tiny one on the front of the box but this is more appro rate 1155 CPUs not 1156 CPUs x no okay

29
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,720
we have a user manual that also includes

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,280
a utility and Driver DVD download the latest off the Gigabyte website um

31
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,200
cameraman is blocking most of our light at that angle so maybe we'll shift a

32
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,640
little bit this way there we go we have a colorcoded IO Shield we have a

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,239
multilingual installation guide book which is going to show you basic things

34
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,360
like installing a CPU installing RAM we have two right angle and two straight

35
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:34,319
SATA cables we have a Dolby Home Theater

36
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,480
sticker my understanding is this is quite an expensive sticker and then we

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,480
also have a Gigabyte powered sticker

38
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,680
that one is less expensive okay here we

39
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,599
go this is an interesting strategy I don't think I've ever seen this before

40
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:59,680
and I have unboxed let me tell you guys a lot of motherboards over the last

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,680
couple years here so hold on

42
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:09,280
there we are I have never seen a piece of foam

43
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:14,280
stuck in between the mosfet heat sink oh I see why well that's not on there very

44
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:18,200
well at all is it oh okay so this is in here to prevent it from wiggling around

45
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:21,280
durink shipping I mean here have a look okay so let's start let's start with

46
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:25,720
that since that seems like a bit of a concern but it's probably fine so we're

47
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,640
using plastic push pins here and then what appears to be like a

48
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,080
softer style of interface material under

49
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:37,360
this so you can see there's actually a very small contact point where this this

50
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,519
large heat sink is making contact with the vrms so in order to make sure that

51
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,720
it stays straight during shipping we got the foam but while the system's running

52
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:50,319
that's going to melt a little bit and it's going to be on there pretty good I don't think you're going to have to

53
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,840
worry about burning out your vrms so

54
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:57,400
same goes for the one up here it looks like this uses 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:03,560
looks like it uses 8 plus2 phase power for the LGA 1155 CPU and unlike most H

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:08,159
series chipset boards this is a full ATX board so we have support for our CPU

57
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:11,760
here we have our 8 Pin power connector and its ideal location at the top left

58
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,959
of the board we have full support for dual Channel DDR3 we have our 24 pin

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,759
power connector along the right hand edge of the board here is our Intel well

60
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:26,680
Southbridge to use an archaic term but our Intel I believe it's called an iio

61
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,120
Hub now which controls things like SATA ports USB ports all of that good stuff

62
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:37,440
and and then we also have our front panel connectors wow that's a lot of USB

63
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,960
ports that's five front panel USB

64
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,560
headers outstanding so you can hook up 10 front

65
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,360
USB ports on your case if it actually has that many here we have seven

66
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,600
expansion slots three PCI which is appropriate for an H series chipset

67
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:56,160
board because you can't expect a value chipset board buyer to be necessarily

68
00:04:54,039 --> 00:05:02,120
running the very latest technology couple of firewire headers we've got two

69
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,000
PCI e1x slots and then two PCI e6x slots

70
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:11,320
now officially this board supports SLI although I really wouldn't recommend running SLI cuz you can see right here

71
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,840
even though this is a 16x physical slot

72
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,360
which has enough spaces in here for PCI e8x hopefully you can see can you see

73
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,120
the actual metal contact pins in there okay well the metal contact pins only go

74
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:26,440
up to here so that's only a 4X electrical slot now while I usually tell

75
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:30,440
viewers 8X and 8x is fine for Crossfire

76
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,240
or SLI 16x and 4x is probably not quite

77
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:37,759
ideal especially because these four lanes are running off the io Hub over

78
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:39,319
here rather than running off of the PCIe

79
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:45,280
controller that's directly off the chipset because h67 is not capable of

80
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:50,160
splitting into 8X 8X so it's a full 16x here and only 4X here here's your front

81
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,440
panel audio connector this uh this location for it from Gigabyte will

82
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,240
always baffle me everyone else in their dog puts it down here but uh usually I

83
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:02,680
don't use the front panel header anyhow here on the the back of the board

84
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,479
we will find some connectors which are conveniently covered so I can't see what

85
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,280
they are oh wow we have every display connector under the sun I think but

86
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:15,759
let's start over here we've got a PS2 uh keyboard mouse combo Port we've got 1 2

87
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,639
3 4 USB 2.0 ports that explains why there were so many on the board itself

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,960
we have VGA DVI DisplayPort and HDMI

89
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:27,199
yes the whole Shang and then we also

90
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,840
have optical audio out we've got fire

91
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:36,039
wire as well as eat on the back of the board we have two USB 3.0 ports gigabit

92
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,639
Ethernet and 7.1 audio out thank you for
