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

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:11.759
has a three-year warranty as you may or may not have noticed it supports Intel

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:18.760
Core Series processors on LGA 1155 and it uses the h67 chipset so that

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.800
means it supports turbo boost but it

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:26.640
does not support overclocking on unlocked CPUs and it does not support

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:28.560
turning up turbo CPUs past their default

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

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:36.399
can do with it it is compatible with core i5s but it is also compatible with

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.079
core i7s which the only difference is they have more cach and they feature

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.480
hyperthreading and when we have Intel core i3s on their second generation core

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:50.920
series processors it'll likely support those too up here there's a little note

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:53.480
LGA 1155 CPU only that is 100% correct

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

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

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:05.840
PCB for you know better heat dissipation

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:11.000
more conductivity all that good stuff we also have gigabytes 333 concept although

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

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.560
power 3x which is a cool feature because

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

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.840
three times as much power draw as you

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

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

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.159
your system is powered off you can charge devices such as say for example

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:45.159
your iPhone and what other relevant stuff do we have ooh dual BIOS so it's

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:50.000
very very difficult to wreck your board by corrupting the BIOS it also

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:54.200
apparently supports ATI Crossfire X technology although I can imagine it's

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:58.320
not an ideal configuration with an h67 chipset board here is a big big warning

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

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.720
we have a user manual that also includes

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.280
a utility and Driver DVD download the latest off the Gigabyte website um

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:19.200
cameraman is blocking most of our light at that angle so maybe we'll shift a

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:23.640
little bit this way there we go we have a colorcoded IO Shield we have a

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.239
multilingual installation guide book which is going to show you basic things

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:32.360
like installing a CPU installing RAM we have two right angle and two straight

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:34.319
SATA cables we have a Dolby Home Theater

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:39.480
sticker my understanding is this is quite an expensive sticker and then we

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:41.480
also have a Gigabyte powered sticker

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:46.680
that one is less expensive okay here we

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:51.599
go this is an interesting strategy I don't think I've ever seen this before

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:59.680
and I have unboxed let me tell you guys a lot of motherboards over the last

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.680
couple years here so hold on

00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:09.280
there we are I have never seen a piece of foam

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

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

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

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

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:31.640
using plastic push pins here and then what appears to be like a

00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:33.080
softer style of interface material under

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:37.360
this so you can see there's actually a very small contact point where this this

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:41.519
large heat sink is making contact with the vrms so in order to make sure that

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.720
it stays straight during shipping we got the foam but while the system's running

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

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.840
worry about burning out your vrms so

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

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

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.159
series chipset boards this is a full ATX board so we have support for our CPU

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.760
here we have our 8 Pin power connector and its ideal location at the top left

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:16.959
of the board we have full support for dual Channel DDR3 we have our 24 pin

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.759
power connector along the right hand edge of the board here is our Intel well

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:26.680
Southbridge to use an archaic term but our Intel I believe it's called an iio

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:32.120
Hub now which controls things like SATA ports USB ports all of that good stuff

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

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:38.960
ports that's five front panel USB

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:43.560
headers outstanding so you can hook up 10 front

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:47.360
USB ports on your case if it actually has that many here we have seven

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:51.600
expansion slots three PCI which is appropriate for an H series chipset

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:56.160
board because you can't expect a value chipset board buyer to be necessarily

00:04:54.039 --> 00:05:02.120
running the very latest technology couple of firewire headers we've got two

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.000
PCI e1x slots and then two PCI e6x slots

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

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:13.840
even though this is a 16x physical slot

00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:17.360
which has enough spaces in here for PCI e8x hopefully you can see can you see

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:21.120
the actual metal contact pins in there okay well the metal contact pins only go

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:26.440
up to here so that's only a 4X electrical slot now while I usually tell

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:30.440
viewers 8X and 8x is fine for Crossfire

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:32.240
or SLI 16x and 4x is probably not quite

00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:37.759
ideal especially because these four lanes are running off the io Hub over

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.319
here rather than running off of the PCIe

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:45.280
controller that's directly off the chipset because h67 is not capable of

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

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.440
panel audio connector this uh this location for it from Gigabyte will

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:58.240
always baffle me everyone else in their dog puts it down here but uh usually I

00:05:56.280 --> 00:06:02.680
don't use the front panel header anyhow here on the the back of the board

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.479
we will find some connectors which are conveniently covered so I can't see what

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.280
they are oh wow we have every display connector under the sun I think but

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

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

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.960
we have VGA DVI DisplayPort and HDMI

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.199
yes the whole Shang and then we also

00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:29.840
have optical audio out we've got fire

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

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:38.639
Ethernet and 7.1 audio out thank you for
