like this evaluation 93 yes this is MSI military class 3 answer to the AMD fm2 socket and I actually still don't even know what the model number of this board is it's actually not on here we'll be back in a moment right so we found it this is the a85 XA g65 from MSI this is a performance board uh based on the new fm2 socket from AMD which comes along with a few really cool things so number one is this supports Trinity Apu so remember an APU is a D's nomenclature for a CPU and a GPU on one chip so basically a CPU now since both of the major CPU guys have gpus built in however AMD's apus have much more powerful gpus built into them than Intel's equivalent as we'll show you in an upcoming video on the NC Tech tips Channel you've got a pretty bog standard layout so you got your CPU socket in the middle you've got these beastly looking vrm coolers all around here that actually look outstanding so I'll get you a bunch of different angles of those those look awesome get slick to or slick sorry sorry it's not slick filming today it's diesel um so there's your 8 Pin CPU connector in the top left there's your dual Channel DDR3 compatible slots on the right so this is pretty pretty standard again OC gen button for easy one button overclocking onboard power switch onboard reset switch the checkpoint so if you're looking to like break some overclocking records on the fm2 socket compared to other fm2 users then you'll use this to monitor your voltages with a multimeter rather than relying on software 24 pin connector along the right hand Edge eight SATA 3 6 GB per second connectors uh six of them are right angle and the other two are your standard connectors that come right out of the board and uh those are all running off the AMD chipset unlike Intel chipsets we have full support for SATA 360 gbit per second our USB 3 headers here for whatever reason that seems like an odd place for it but I guess I won't question it your clear seos button is here which again seems like a bit of an odd placement for it but not going to question it too much uh front panel there's all your front panel connectors right there there is your front USB 2 here is your front USB 2 with their supercharger feature which allows you to charge your tablet or whatever else uh in terms of fan connectors we've got one two three four pin fan connectors and two three pin fan connectors so you can plug a total of five fans into the board no problem remember guys Trinity gpus actually have use for all these video outputs on the back of the board so we got VGA dual link DVI DisplayPort and HDMI you can use up to three of them at a time so you can drive three displays off of a single onboard graphics card which is very cool stuff it's four USB 2.0 ports uh PS2 I have never seen a gigabit Ethernet port this high up on an IO Shield I've just never seen that before um you know it's nothing it's just I don't know it's just the placement stuff okay uh Optical audio out two USB 3.0 ports and 7.1 audio out I think that pretty much wraps it up now I'm going to have to remind myself thank you for checking out my unboxing of the a85 XA g65 from MSI don't forget to subscribe find as TCH tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos I we didn't cover the PCI Express slots 1 2 3 PCIe 1X slots two PCI slots and then two PCIe 16x slots however this one is only wired for 8X operations so if you were running Crossfire X you'd get two 8X slots with which is more than enough especially given on a platform like this you'd probably be running like 7800 series or lower and don't forget guys using that onboard GPU in the Apu uh you can add a low-end video card here and you can use them together in like a hybrid Crossfire type thing that will allow you to get slightly better performance versus running this alone or the graphics card alone"}
