gamingpro tocom to 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:21.680 learn more so if you happened to look at our unboxing of the G1 sniper 5 from 00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:25.680 Gigabyte their Flagship gaming lga1150 00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:28.000 board and thought well I like that but 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:33.719 it's a little expensive it's a little big I don't know if I need quite all the 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:36.160 those features this is the board for you 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:42.760 my friends this is the G1 sniper M5 which is the Micro ATX version slightly 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.000 fewer Bells slightly fewer whistles same 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.480 gaming oriented features so when I say gaming oriented features I'm talking 00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:55.160 about things like better on board audio as well as Bigfoot 00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.199 e2200 killer Nick on board so that 00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:00.760 prioritizes your gaming packets as well as having some other cool software 00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:06.360 features like limiting the bandwidth available to certain programs and stuff 00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:09.040 like that but at a lower cost in a 00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.799 smaller form factor and without some of the extras like the integrated uh 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.600 Wireless and Bluetooth card and stuff like that so let's go ahead and run 00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:19.799 through the accessories that are included really quickly we've got an IO 00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:23.680 Shield there you go looks a little something like that conveniently labeled 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.799 we've got an SLI Bridge it's the flexible SLI Bridge type and actually 00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:30.439 that's kind of a unique layout for it that's okay I'll talk more about the 00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:33.920 slot layout after we've got two right angle SATA cables 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.079 and two straight SATA cables so a smaller accessory package a Gigabyte 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:43.079 sticker a manual a driver disc download the latest off the Gigabyte website and 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:49.079 this right here this is where shiz starts to really get real guys because 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:53.320 when I say better on board audio I mean better onboard audio so they're using 00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:58.000 soundcore 3D which is a creative technology there's an audio processor 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.479 here under what is a gold shield however 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:05.640 it's sort of debatable how much of a difference that's going to make in terms of isolating it from Emi but what's 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:10.319 important is that it's on a separated part of the PCB that actually has a 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.599 green line that draws a serious business 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.519 line between well here's the audio stuff and here's everything else so rather 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:21.280 than having it on a riser card it's still on the motherboard so you don't use up a PCI Express slot which is 00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:25.080 particularly important for an matx board but that doesn't change the fact that 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:30.800 it's a very high-end audio solution now this right here is upgradable opamp kit 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:35.160 opamp up up GR kit that's what they call it sorry excuse me so there's an opamp 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.080 socket and basically what an opamp does is it amplifies the audio signal this is 00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:44.480 important particularly if you have high impedance headphones that require a 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.920 stronger signal in order to drive them however some people like to swap the off 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.560 amps because it can change the way that the sound the the sound quality and when 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.360 I say quality I don't mean in terms of goodness or Badness I means in terms of 00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.599 the qualities of it the uh the color the subtleties so it comes with with a pull 00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:06.280 as well as an additional different opamp and you can upgrade to other different 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.640 aftermarket ones I'm not necessarily saying that I think it's the best use of 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.799 your time and money but if you're one of those people who wants to Tinker and 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.920 wants to play with it Gigabyte gives you the choice so there you go we've got an 00:03:15.799 --> 00:03:22.840 LGA 1150 socket right here supporting the latest fourth generation Haswell in 00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:24.480 core i5 I3 and i7 processors that means 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:29.200 you've got full support for high-speed DDR3 memory running in dual Channel up 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.879 to 32 gigs with the currently available 8 gig dims that are on the market we've 00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:37.519 got a high-end vrm solution under a 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.400 pretty straightforward cooling Solution that's got a Gigabyte branding as well 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.480 as Ultra durable branding on it they are using what they're calling their durable 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:50.480 black solid cap so this is part of their whole Ultra durable 5 concept which 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.680 includes better quality components their 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:55.799 2 oz copper PCB concept as well as their 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.400 glass fabric PCB which should in theory make the boards more resistant to 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:03.079 humidity which might be more of a factor for people in climates other than where 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.000 I live but hey it's good to have the features as opposed to not having them 00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:12.480 there are five fan ports on the board itself so there's CPU as well as CPU 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:16.680 optional many people do use multifan cooling Arrangements on their CPUs these 00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:19.560 days and then down at the bottom you find an additional two and then here 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.560 where you'd plug in a fan at the back of your case you find an additional one 00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:27.400 your eight pin connectors in its ideal location at the top left and your 24 pin 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:31.199 connectors in its ideal location along the right your onboard switches are up 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:34.199 here at the top right I like this better than having them down at the bottom of 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.960 the board and the reason is that particularly on an open test bench and 00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:41.720 honestly even in a case you start installing graphics cards down here boom 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:46.360 all this is covered having the connect having the front panel connectors or 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:50.960 front panel buttons up here is more convenient so there is a simos switch so 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.680 you can clear your seos there's a reset switch there's a power switch as well as 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.280 a bio switch so there are two dedicated BIOS chips on this board and an LED 00:04:58.039 --> 00:05:03.520 indicator that tells you which one you're using so there's a main BIOS as 00:05:01.479 --> 00:05:08.720 well as a backup BIOS on the board itself and then over here we've got 00:05:06.039 --> 00:05:11.560 voltage read points which is extremely handy if you want to get into some 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:18.039 extreme overclocking and you want to be able to get more accurate numbers than you can get out of the BIOS a post 00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:19.639 indicator LED as well as a USB 3 front 00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:25.039 panel header round out the right side of the board with six SATA 3 6 gbit per 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:30.440 second connectors along the bottom right Edge this is enabled by Intel's new 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:36.000 chipset that finally has lots of support for Native USB 3 and Native SATA 3 very 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:40.520 good Intel you're not too late on that one anyway we've got our front panel 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:45.080 connectors here two front USB 2.0 ports the audio which I talked about before as 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.560 well as if I could find it whatever I can't find it anyway there's a killer 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:54.560 e2200 Network chip on here somewhere that handles that prioritized gaming 00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:59.919 features and whatnot out of that gigabit Ethernet port right there 2 USB 2.0 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.520 ports 4 USB 3.0 ports and a PS S2 keyboard mouse combo Port round out the 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:10.080 USB on the back we've got a DVI port HDMI another HDMI and DisplayPort which 00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:16.120 is a pretty complete complement of ports back there as well as goldplated 7.1 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.639 audio ports and an optical digital audio 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:24.039 port now I wanted to talk about those PCI Express slots this one right here 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.560 and this one are wired up for 16x or 8X 00:06:24.039 --> 00:06:30.639 8X operation with this one wired up for 4X that means you're going to want to 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.919 carefully select your chassis if you want to run a dual graphics card 00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:40.720 configuration on this board particularly SLI because SLI will not run in PCI 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.560 Express slots 1 and three because NVIDIA specifies you have to have at least PCIe 00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:49.319 8X operation this slot right here is running off of the chipset not directly 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:55.840 off the CPU and it is running at 4X speed so make sure whatever case you use 00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:58.000 has an additional slot or an empty spot 00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:02.440 nearby so that there's room for this one to overhang if it's a dual SL lot card 00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:06.479 which they pretty much all are these days thank you for checking out my 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.160 unboxing and overview of the G1 sniper M5 from Gigabyte don't
