00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,600
today I'm going to be unboxing a military Class 2 motherboard from MSI

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,880
even though it is military class this is not part of their gaming series of

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:16,199
products it's a cboard which means it's part of their I believe it stands for

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,560
classic series of products so since this

5
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:21,920
is a socket 1155 board it means we have full support well not full support hold

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,160
on I'll get more more on that later we have support for Intel's core I3 Core i5

7
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:30,080
and core i7 processors on the lg1155

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:36,399
platform supports Windows 7 it has a p 67 chipset so what that means is that it

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,879
does not support the onboard graphics on

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:44,120
said CPUs so it does support the unlocking overclocking K series chips

11
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:48,520
but no onboard Graphics support it features OC gen2 which will overclock

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:55,239
your K series CPU at the push of a button and it features USB 3 and SATA 3

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,520
6 GB perss we have super farite chokes

14
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:02,079
as well as solid caps as part of the military Class 2 concept and let's flip

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,560
over to the back and see what else MSI has to say for themselves pretty much

16
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:13,119
the same stuff we got a couple things that weren't covered on the front such as click bio so that is a ufi graphical

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,759
BIOS and we have winky 3 which is their

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:20,400
software that allows you to use your computer before booting into the OS and

19
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:24,759
that's pretty much it so why don't we flip this over and have a look at the

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,799
board itself in terms of accessories we got a pretty basic package here drivers

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:35,040
and utilities don't use this download the latest off the MSI website we have a

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:37,560
quick installation guide a user's guide

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,119
for the software applications as well as a users guide for this board as well as

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,560
a couple of other boards no one other board three other boards we have an IO

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,320
Shield which oh okay on a value board like this it's rare to see it colorcoded

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:57,200
but here you have it it is color coded and then we've also got two SATA 3 6

27
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:01,240
gbit per second cable so well I don't know they could be anything yeah they're

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,000
called 6 G per second cables but there's no actual physical difference between

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,399
these and 3 gbit per second cables one is right angle and one is straight we

30
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:15,200
have M connectors which allow you to connect your front panel power speaker

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,920
all that stuff uh more easily and then

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,160
we've also got one for USB environmentally friendly cardboard

33
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:29,040
packaging allows us to not see the board yet although we will soon come on ah

34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,760
there we go that's pretty difficult to remove there

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:39,840
all right so what I'm going to do is I'm going to close the motherboard box I'm going to put the board on top and then

36
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:42,599
we're going to have a look at the p67a

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,879
c45 sticker comes off and the motherboard comes

38
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,239
out so we got a pretty standard board layout here it's an ATX form factor

39
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:57,720
board it has the full complement of seven slots I'm just going to take off

40
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:00,560
the OC Genie sticker as well as the

41
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:05,400
military Class 2 sticker so we can see exactly what we've got to work with here

42
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:09,280
guys that's a little challenging to remove there we are okay so let's look

43
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,720
at the overall layout oh once again value board 8 pin connector so MSI is

44
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,040
allowing for some serious overclocking going on if they're expecting us to need

45
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:23,280
an 8 pin connector to deliver all of the potential current we could need to the

46
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,400
CPU itself so go ahead and throw that back on there remember these little

47
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:30,080
Stoppers are here because you can use a four pin connector just by leaving the

48
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:35,280
stopper on there so it shows you which set to plug your four pin ATX connector

49
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:41,000
into if you don't have the full 8 pin ATX connector we've got a couple of

50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:45,519
military Class 2 themed mosfet heat sinks on here so one on that side one on

51
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,480
the top surrounding the CPU socket which is pretty pretty bare space around it so

52
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,599
you should be able to mount pretty much any heat sinks you want on there as I mentioned before this is an LGA 1155

53
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:01,920
socket which means support for cor I 3s cor 5s and cor I 7s do not try to put an

54
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:03,920
1156 in here it will not work we have

55
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,920
full support for dual Channel DDR3 memory and then moving down the right

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:14,720
hand side of the board we've got our 24 pin ATX connector and we have some

57
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,600
storage so here we have two SATA 3 6 GB

58
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:22,360
per second connectors running off of the Intel chipset and then we have four SATA

59
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,680
2 3 GB per second connectors also running off of the Intel chipset lots of

60
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:30,120
fan headers on this board oh no maybe not that many okay four fan headers

61
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:35,800
reasonable number of fan head headers on this board moving down the board we've got

62
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:42,840
our front panel connectors as well as front USB 3.0 a front USB 2.0 header uh

63
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,560
front fire wire as well as front audio in terms of slot layout we've got three

64
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:52,560
PCI slots this is a more value oriented board so it doesn't surprise me to see

65
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:57,919
PCI slots included and you may need them if you have a board like this we've also

66
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:59,240
got three PCI e1x slots so one of them

67
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,280
would be covered if you were to use a dual slot graphics card which would

68
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,400
leave you with two PCI e1x and three PCI

69
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:10,039
E slots finally moving on to the io

70
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:15,199
Shield we've got one of those combo PS2 keyboard/mouse ports that I'm a big fan

71
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,880
of we have eight USB 2.0 ports a clear

72
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:21,520
seos button look at that clear seos button on a value board looks like MSI

73
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,960
does have some overclocking in mind with this guy all right we've got our coax

74
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:32,720
seal as well as optical audio out fire wire gigb Ethernet two USB 3.0 ports as

75
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,560
well 7.1 audio and look at that they're

76
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,199
even using screws on the back to fix all of the heat sinks happy to see that I

77
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:44,440
hate to see push pins on any board that's uh that's that's like pretty

78
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:46,800
decent cuz screws are just more secure

79
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:52,199
there's no ifs SS or butts about it so thank you for checking out my unboxing

80
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,600
of the p67a c45 from MSI don't forget to
