1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,520 so I'm going to be unboxing a new motherboard from Gigabyte this is an h55 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:12,080 board you can tell from the name it is h55 that's a chipset M which is microatx 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,680 and normally they have UD something something something after here and this 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,800 is or S something this is not that they are just calling this out what's special 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,320 about this board is that it is usb3 so 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,880 you can see up here it is also USB 3.0 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:32,719 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 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,719 you may or may not have guessed USB 3.0 10x super speed also USB power 3x now 9 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,480 this is a cool feature because this gives you three times the power that is 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:46,440 speced for USB 3.0 through each Port so if you're running a hub you can actually 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,559 run three full power USB devices without using an external adapter very cool it 12 00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,760 features Ultra durable 3 which is normally a huge icon like or logo like 13 00:00:53,160 --> 00:01:01,160 this and isn't today smart 6 it supports Core i5 core I3 it supports core i7 LGA 14 00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,680 1156 chips too but I think part of the reason they're not calling that out is 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,960 because the core i7 chips do not have Onboard video unlike the core i3s and 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,799 the core i5 dual cores so you won't actually be able to take advantage of 17 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,000 all of the features of this board and you'd probably be better off with a p-55 18 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,240 board if you are buying an i7 so here's our users manual which includes a 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,520 motherboard utility and Driver DVD don't use this download the latest off the 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:29,079 Gigabyte website all right then we've got a Dolby Home Theater sticker thank 21 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,799 you all right then we've got our smart 6 users manual 22 00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:36,119 a bunch of different languages cool oh oh I dropped it it's no good okay 23 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:40,159 multilingual installation guide book so that'll show you how to install your CPU how to install RAM how to install the 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,040 front panel connectors bunch of different languages thanks so much IO 25 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,000 Shield so you can already see compared to the other h505 boards from Gigabyte 26 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,920 I've had a look at there are a few more extras in the Box although not much 27 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,799 you've got two SATA cables one of them is straight and one is right angle and 28 00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:00,799 one IDE cable for crying out loud give us more SATA cables don't bother giving 29 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,039 us an IDE cable anymore that said this could be useful for a lot 30 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,239 of people I you know what I take that back because a lot of people running 31 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:15,080 sort of like a microatx more value solution are probably reusing their old 32 00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:17,959 DVD drive which is probably IDE so I 33 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:23,200 totally take that back I can definitely see the justification okay fine I was 34 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:26,400 wrong Gigabyte was right all right let's have a look at the board itself so we'll 35 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:31,599 start with the general features first of all we have two PCI Express 16x 36 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:36,000 connectors this one is uh 16x true because you can see all the little 37 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,120 connectors inside this one is an 8X 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,360 connector so you see all the little slots here but it's only wired electrically for 4X so even if this 39 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,519 board does support Crossfire which I'm not sure if it does I I can't actually 40 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:53,720 tell it doesn't even really matter you wouldn't want to use this board for optimal Crossfire performance because 41 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,400 this is a PCIe 4X slot you're not going to get the best performance out of it 42 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,400 your chipsets down here you got a couple of USB oh sorry three USB 2.0 headers 43 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:09,720 right here and then you've got a wide variety of SATA slots 44 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:11,680 so these are all SATA 2 and I believe 45 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,920 these are SATA 2 as well yes they are so these are off the Gigabyte SATA 2 chip 46 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,040 which is also powering your IDE port and then these are off of the Intel chipset 47 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:25,400 okay here's your front panel connectors like all p55 and h55 Boards you've got 48 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,200 support for dual Channel DDR3 here's your 24 pin power connector located in 49 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,640 exactly its most convenient place along the right handed of the board here 50 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:38,760 here's your LGA 1156 socket now something to note about this is that it 51 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,360 does support all LGA 1156 CPUs core i3s 52 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:47,000 Core i5 dual cores Core i5 quad cores and core i7s but you will not be able to 53 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:52,200 take advantage of the onboard Graphics unless you're using a core I3 or a core 54 00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:57,560 i5 dual core which has onboard graphics on the CPU because this chipset does not 55 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,480 have any onboard Graphics built into it so be cognizant of that okay here's all 56 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:07,200 of our power delivery circuitry up here I wouldn't have minded seeing some cooling on it but what are you going to 57 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,840 do it's a pretty value oriented board and quite honestly the kinds of chips 58 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,439 you should be putting in a board like this do not suck a lot of power you're 59 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,919 not going to make them all that hot up here is our eight pin power uh excuse me 60 00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:22,720 CPU power connector so that will deliver power to your CPU in its ideal location 61 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:25,840 at the top left of the board and then let's have a look at the con activity we 62 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,160 have at the back so first of all we have one of those great mouse keyboard PS2 63 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,759 combo ports I love these then we got a couple USB ports we have every Onboard 64 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:41,160 video solution you could possibly want DVI VGA DisplayPort and 65 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,400 HDMI we have an optical audio out we 66 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:49,120 have a couple more USB 2.0 ports we've got a fire wire Port an e SATA port and 67 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,479 then we have two USB 3.0 ports so only 68 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,919 six USB ports on the back but two of them are USB 3.0 so and they're all 3x 69 00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:59,680 power so you could I mean you could be running a hub off each one of these 70 00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:05,000 without even worrying about overpower power ing them so I mean you've got a lot of expansion options really gigabit 71 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Ethernet and 7.1 audio thank you for checking out my unboxing
