WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.600 today I'm going to be unboxing a military Class 2 motherboard from MSI 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.880 even though it is military class this is not part of their gaming series of 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 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.560 classic series of products so since this 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.920 is a socket 1155 board it means we have full support well not full support hold 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 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:30.080 and core i7 processors on the lg1155 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 00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:38.879 does not support the onboard graphics on 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:44.120 said CPUs so it does support the unlocking overclocking K series chips 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:48.520 but no onboard Graphics support it features OC gen2 which will overclock 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 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.520 6 GB perss we have super farite chokes 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 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:05.560 over to the back and see what else MSI has to say for themselves pretty much 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 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.759 BIOS and we have winky 3 which is their 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.400 software that allows you to use your computer before booting into the OS and 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 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.799 board itself in terms of accessories we got a pretty basic package here drivers 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:35.040 and utilities don't use this download the latest off the MSI website we have a 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:37.560 quick installation guide a user's guide 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.119 for the software applications as well as a users guide for this board as well as 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.560 a couple of other boards no one other board three other boards we have an IO 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 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 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 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.000 called 6 G per second cables but there's no actual physical difference between 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.399 these and 3 gbit per second cables one is right angle and one is straight we 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:15.200 have M connectors which allow you to connect your front panel power speaker 00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:16.920 all that stuff uh more easily and then 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.160 we've also got one for USB environmentally friendly cardboard 00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:29.040 packaging allows us to not see the board yet although we will soon come on ah 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.760 there we go that's pretty difficult to remove there 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 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:42.599 we're going to have a look at the p67a 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.879 c45 sticker comes off and the motherboard comes 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:52.239 out so we got a pretty standard board layout here it's an ATX form factor 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:57.720 board it has the full complement of seven slots I'm just going to take off 00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.560 the OC Genie sticker as well as the 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 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:09.280 guys that's a little challenging to remove there we are okay so let's look 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:14.720 at the overall layout oh once again value board 8 pin connector so MSI is 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.040 allowing for some serious overclocking going on if they're expecting us to need 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.280 an 8 pin connector to deliver all of the potential current we could need to the 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.400 CPU itself so go ahead and throw that back on there remember these little 00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:30.080 Stoppers are here because you can use a four pin connector just by leaving the 00:03:27.959 --> 00:03:35.280 stopper on there so it shows you which set to plug your four pin ATX connector 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 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.519 military Class 2 themed mosfet heat sinks on here so one on that side one on 00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:49.480 the top surrounding the CPU socket which is pretty pretty bare space around it so 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 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 00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:03.920 1156 in here it will not work we have 00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:07.920 full support for dual Channel DDR3 memory and then moving down the right 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 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.600 storage so here we have two SATA 3 6 GB 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:22.360 per second connectors running off of the Intel chipset and then we have four SATA 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.680 2 3 GB per second connectors also running off of the Intel chipset lots of 00:04:24.919 --> 00:04:30.120 fan headers on this board oh no maybe not that many okay four fan headers 00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:35.800 reasonable number of fan head headers on this board moving down the board we've got 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 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 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 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 00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:59.240 got three PCI e1x slots so one of them 00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.280 would be covered if you were to use a dual slot graphics card which would 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:07.400 leave you with two PCI e1x and three PCI 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:10.039 E slots finally moving on to the io 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 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:17.880 of we have eight USB 2.0 ports a clear 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.520 seos button look at that clear seos button on a value board looks like MSI 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.960 does have some overclocking in mind with this guy all right we've got our coax 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 00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:34.560 well 7.1 audio and look at that they're 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 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 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.800 decent cuz screws are just more secure 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 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.600 of the p67a c45 from MSI don't forget to 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:58.199 subscribe to lonus Tech tips from more unboxings reviews and other computer 00:05:55.199 -->
