1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,440 our PAX Prime 2014 coverage is brought to you by hyperx Gaming products make 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000 sure you click their logo to check out the great gaming content on their YouTube channel as well as Phantom glass 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,920 the ultimate gorilla glass screen protector for your mobile device all 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,080 right guys we here at MSI checking out their x99 lineup starting with the x99s 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,800 SLI plus this Bo's pretty interesting you got four PCIe 16x slots so you can 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,679 do quad SLI or Crossfire and dual PCI e1x slots if you want like sound cards 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,040 or Raid cards or something like that for power on the motherboard it's fairly 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:37,719 straightforward with your 24 pin and 8 Pin CPU power you've got four fan 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,200 headers so not a ton of fan headers but probably enough one of those being your 10 00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,120 CPU which is pre- designated for that although if you want to plug in a case 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,640 fan you can just ignore the RPM and you're good to go anyways uh you've got 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,640 eight RAM slots a standard socket which by the way is ginormous if you haven't 13 00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:57,160 heard me that say that in previous videos One USB 3.0 header two USB 2.0 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,600 headers power and reset on board along with an OC Genie button if you want to 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,360 just press that and be good to go before we go I/O you got a PS2 Port which is 16 00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:10,960 fantastic because even USB 2.0 can be frustrating to use sometimes dual USB 17 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,000 2.0 8 USB 3.0 an Ethernet port which I 18 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,799 believe is powered by Intel and standard audio jacks for their x99s gaming 7 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,880 board things are fairly similar the iio is the same except for their Ethernet 20 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,560 which is powered by killer this time not Intel like it was before so you get a 21 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,200 killer chip on this board no Wireless just land killer other than that the I/O 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,240 is exactly the same the socker is obviously same the same amount of RAM 23 00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:36,880 slots same amount of power same amount of fan headers most things are pretty 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,280 similar except this board does come with audio boost this is audio boost 2 not 25 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,920 audio boost one anymore so there's actually audio grade capacitors on this 26 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,719 board which is a kind of a big deal um but if you've been watching some of Li 27 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,840 actives videos lately we've kind of figured out that it's more important to have really nice headphones but this 28 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:58,920 should help so it's good to see actually on the board and this is their gaming 29 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:04,479 series board so it's got all the nice red and black accents all over it then 30 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,159 we come to their x99s X power AC this 31 00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,039 one has Intel Lan and wireless no more killer it comes with AC on board so you 32 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:14,400 have AC Wireless that comes with the board which is pretty interesting the io 33 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,959 on this one has changed a little bit there's a PS2 Port still which I'm 34 00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:23,480 really happy about dual USB 2.0 and then 35 00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:26,239 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 USB 3.0 on the back 36 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:31,000 and a USB 3.0 right angle header and USB 3.0 vertical header so you can have a 37 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,720 crap ton of USB 3 .0 if that's what you want dual land ports those Wireless 38 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,560 Jacks that I was just talking about and a standard audio setup the audio boost 39 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:42,879 though is a little bit different this is audio boost 1.0 not audio Boost 2.0 so 40 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,720 it doesn't have the the audio grade capacitors that are on the gaming series 41 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,959 board but you do get other things like voltage checkpoints up here at the top 42 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:55,720 manual overclocking buttons still an OC Genie button if you want to do that on 43 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,400 an X powerboard and that's that's about 44 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,959 it in terms of overclocking other than other features like the X power just 45 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,319 being generally good for over over clocking there's actually one more thing that I want to point out before we're 46 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,040 done here and that's the the lightning bolt button right here which will just 47 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,000 completely obliterate any settings that you have in your BIOS possible and just 48 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,519 resets the entire thing back to factory settings which is actually pretty cool 49 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,280 to see cuz I've almost pricked boards by kind of messing around with too much 50 00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:21,159 stuff
