00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.760
this is a very value oriented board from Gigabyte it has a three-year warranty it

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.400
is an h55 board and it supports their 3x

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:15.160
USB power feature which is pretty cool because it means that you can run a

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.840
bunch of USB devices off a hub and they will all receive sufficient power it

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:22.279
also has support for onoff charge which allows you to charge your iPhone or

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.439
other eye accessory not ey glasses from the USB

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.679
port even when the system is powered down

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

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:38.200
value oriented board the reason I'm doing this video is primarily just to

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

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:47.440
one warning wow that's like a bright yellow warning isn't it Onboard video

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:54.879
output is not available unless paired with an Intel Core i5 core I3 processor

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.840
with Intel Graphics technology okay okay

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:02.399
thank you wow that's in like every language Portuguese Hungarian Indonesian

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

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:13.080
what language it is but don't but list that in English rather than the language

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:15.640
it's actually in so like they say French instead of

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.400
France here we have an IO Shield here we

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:27.040
have two SATA cables hey hey they finally did it right check this out two

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:31.000
SATA cables not one SATA and one

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.040
IDE nice a black and white cover on the

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

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.360
and white cover on the manual included uh drivers and utilities DVD don't use

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.399
this download the latest off the Gigabyte website and then the board

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:51.040
itself so they are not uh no frills no gimmicks just motherboard you know what

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:55.200
to be perfectly honest with you even the anti-static bag feels thinner than usual

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:00.039
I'm not even kidding like okay here here here here

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.920
here this B this bag is from another Gigabyte

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.479
motherboard let me see oh yeah oh yeah

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

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:19.120
holding here from The Other Board is thicker the other one's actually from a

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.640
uh an h55m s2h so this is the S2 because

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.440
it does not have H which is HDMI so this

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:29.480
is VGA output only it is like super ultra value let's start in the Middle

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:35.200
where we see our socket 1156 so that supports core i3s core i5s and core

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

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

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:49.159
really impressed to see because a lot of the time you see value boards sacrifice

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.519
the layout because it is cheaper to engineer a board with the power sources

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:58.120
closer to where they actually need to be delivered but it is way more convenient

00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:02.640
for someone trying to build a system to have them located here and here so kudos

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:07.959
to Gigabyte even though this is a value board they are not cheaping out where it

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:09.239
actually counts we've got two dims sorry

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

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.840
dim with four gig single dims getting so cheap these days you can actually equip

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.640
this with 8 gigs of RAM even though you've only got two slots so without

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.560
paying much of a premium you can just go that route six SATA drive supported

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.360
again very cool to see them not uh skimping on those because six are

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.239
supported by the chipset so put six pieces of plastic on there and

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:37.200
everybody's happy all right down at the bottom we've got our front panel

00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:42.760
connectors we've got a couple of USB headers no comp Port we have

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:48.239
one two two fan ports uh on board on the

00:03:46.519 --> 00:03:51.879
motherboard which is about what I'd expect on something like this you've got

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

00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:02.319
and one PCIe 1X slot there's your front audio connector and then for our back

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

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.599
USB ports on this board that is absolutely thrilling because that's a

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.239
valuable feature for someone who's just looking to build a value system and they

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

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:26.080
and mouse VGA out eight USB ports gigabit Lan and 5.1 audio although if

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

00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:41.199
that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the G h55m

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:41.199
S2 value motherboard from Gigabyte
