1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,760
this is a very value oriented board from Gigabyte it has a three-year warranty it

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,400
is an h55 board and it supports their 3x

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,160
USB power feature which is pretty cool because it means that you can run a

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,840
bunch of USB devices off a hub and they will all receive sufficient power it

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:22,279
also has support for onoff charge which allows you to charge your iPhone or

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:27,439
other eye accessory not ey glasses from the USB

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,679
port even when the system is powered down

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,280
wow they really don't list a whole lot on the back like I said this is a very

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,200
value oriented board the reason I'm doing this video is primarily just to

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,200
let people who are shopping for this board have a look at it oh this is a new

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,440
one warning wow that's like a bright yellow warning isn't it Onboard video

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:54,879
output is not available unless paired with an Intel Core i5 core I3 processor

13
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,840
with Intel Graphics technology okay okay

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:02,399
thank you wow that's in like every language Portuguese Hungarian Indonesian

15
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,040
what's fun you know this is always funny to me like when they uh when they list

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:13,080
what language it is but don't but list that in English rather than the language

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,640
it's actually in so like they say French instead of

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,400
France here we have an IO Shield here we

19
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:27,040
have two SATA cables hey hey they finally did it right check this out two

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:31,000
SATA cables not one SATA and one

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,040
IDE nice a black and white cover on the

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,240
wow they're really like this is they're they're hitting a price point here black

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,360
and white cover on the manual included uh drivers and utilities DVD don't use

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,399
this download the latest off the Gigabyte website and then the board

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:51,040
itself so they are not uh no frills no gimmicks just motherboard you know what

26
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,200
to be perfectly honest with you even the anti-static bag feels thinner than usual

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,039
I'm not even kidding like okay here here here here

28
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,920
here this B this bag is from another Gigabyte

29
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,479
motherboard let me see oh yeah oh yeah

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,760
beyond a shadow of a doubt this is a different bag and the one that I'm

31
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:19,120
holding here from The Other Board is thicker the other one's actually from a

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:22,640
uh an h55m s2h so this is the S2 because

33
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,440
it does not have H which is HDMI so this

34
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:29,480
is VGA output only it is like super ultra value let's start in the Middle

35
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:35,200
where we see our socket 1156 so that supports core i3s core i5s and core

36
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,840
i7s you've got your four pin connector up here in the top left where it belongs

37
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,040
and your 24 pin connector over here on the right and that is something that I'm

38
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:49,159
really impressed to see because a lot of the time you see value boards sacrifice

39
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:53,519
the layout because it is cheaper to engineer a board with the power sources

40
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,120
closer to where they actually need to be delivered but it is way more convenient

41
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:02,640
for someone trying to build a system to have them located here and here so kudos

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:07,959
to Gigabyte even though this is a value board they are not cheaping out where it

43
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,239
actually counts we've got two dims sorry

44
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:14,360
you got to pay a little bit more if you want to install four dims but with four

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,840
dim with four gig single dims getting so cheap these days you can actually equip

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,640
this with 8 gigs of RAM even though you've only got two slots so without

47
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,560
paying much of a premium you can just go that route six SATA drive supported

48
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,360
again very cool to see them not uh skimping on those because six are

49
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,239
supported by the chipset so put six pieces of plastic on there and

50
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,200
everybody's happy all right down at the bottom we've got our front panel

51
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:42,760
connectors we've got a couple of USB headers no comp Port we have

52
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:48,239
one two two fan ports uh on board on the

53
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:51,879
motherboard which is about what I'd expect on something like this you've got

54
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:58,079
a PCI Express 16x slot you can see it is wired for full PCIe 16x two PCIe slots

55
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:02,319
and one PCIe 1X slot there's your front audio connector and then for our back

56
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,959
iio we've got pretty much Bare Bones although I'm very happy to see a ton of

57
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,599
USB ports on this board that is absolutely thrilling because that's a

58
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:15,239
valuable feature for someone who's just looking to build a value system and they

59
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:20,600
tend to like a lot of USB ports I can't explain why okay we have PS2 keyboard

60
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:26,080
and mouse VGA out eight USB ports gigabit Lan and 5.1 audio although if

61
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:32,199
you want to use a mic then you'll need to only use a 2.0 audio

62
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:41,199
that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the G h55m

63
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,199
S2 value motherboard from Gigabyte
