to be unboxing a new motherboard from Gigabyte this is an h55 board you can tell from the name it is h55 that's a chipset M which is microatx and normally they have UD something something something after here and this is or S something this is not that they are just calling this out what's special about this board is that it is usb3 so you can see up here it is also USB 3.0 that is like huge it's like a quarter of the front of the block so it has a three-year warranty and it includes as you may or may not have guessed USB 3.0 10x super speed also USB power 3x now this is a cool feature because this gives you three times the power that is speced for USB 3.0 through each Port so if you're running a hub you can actually run three full power USB devices without using an external adapter very cool it features Ultra durable 3 which is normally a huge icon like or logo like this and isn't today smart 6 it supports Core i5 core I3 it supports core i7 LGA 1156 chips too but I think part of the reason they're not calling that out is because the core i7 chips do not have Onboard video unlike the core i3s and the core i5 dual cores so you won't actually be able to take advantage of all of the features of this board and you'd probably be better off with a p-55 board if you are buying an i7 so here's our users manual which includes a motherboard utility and Driver DVD don't use this download the latest off the Gigabyte website all right then we've got a Dolby Home Theater sticker thank you all right then we've got our smart 6 users manual a bunch of different languages cool oh oh I dropped it it's no good okay multilingual installation guide book so that'll show you how to install your CPU how to install RAM how to install the front panel connectors bunch of different languages thanks so much IO Shield so you can already see compared to the other h505 boards from Gigabyte I've had a look at there are a few more extras in the Box although not much you've got two SATA cables one of them is straight and one is right angle and one IDE cable for crying out loud give us more SATA cables don't bother giving us an IDE cable anymore that said this could be useful for a lot of people I you know what I take that back because a lot of people running sort of like a microatx more value solution are probably reusing their old DVD drive which is probably IDE so I totally take that back I can definitely see the justification okay fine I was wrong Gigabyte was right all right let's have a look at the board itself so we'll start with the general features first of all we have two PCI Express 16x connectors this one is uh 16x true because you can see all the little connectors inside this one is an 8X connector so you see all the little slots here but it's only wired electrically for 4X so even if this board does support Crossfire which I'm not sure if it does I I can't actually tell it doesn't even really matter you wouldn't want to use this board for optimal Crossfire performance because this is a PCIe 4X slot you're not going to get the best performance out of it your chipsets down here you got a couple of USB oh sorry three USB 2.0 headers right here and then you've got a wide variety of SATA slots so these are all SATA 2 and I believe these are SATA 2 as well yes they are so these are off the Gigabyte SATA 2 chip which is also powering your IDE port and then these are off of the Intel chipset okay here's your front panel connectors like all p55 and h55 Boards you've got support for dual Channel DDR3 here's your 24 pin power connector located in exactly its most convenient place along the right handed of the board here here's your LGA 1156 socket now something to note about this is that it does support all LGA 1156 CPUs core i3s Core i5 dual cores Core i5 quad cores and core i7s but you will not be able to take advantage of the onboard Graphics unless you're using a core I3 or a core i5 dual core which has onboard graphics on the CPU because this chipset does not have any onboard Graphics built into it so be cognizant of that okay here's all of our power delivery circuitry up here I wouldn't have minded seeing some cooling on it but what are you going to do it's a pretty value oriented board and quite honestly the kinds of chips you should be putting in a board like this do not suck a lot of power you're not going to make them all that hot up here is our eight pin power uh excuse me CPU power connector so that will deliver power to your CPU in its ideal location at the top left of the board and then let's have a look at the con activity we have at the back so first of all we have one of those great mouse keyboard PS2 combo ports I love these then we got a couple USB ports we have every Onboard video solution you could possibly want DVI VGA DisplayPort and HDMI we have an optical audio out we have a couple more USB 2.0 ports we've got a fire wire Port an e SATA port and then we have two USB 3.0 ports so only six USB ports on the back but two of them are USB 3.0 so and they're all 3x power so you could I mean you could be running a hub off each one of these without even worrying about overpower power ing them so I mean you've got a lot of expansion options really gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio thank you for checking out my unboxing"}
