WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.440 our PAX Prime 2014 coverage is brought to you by hyperx Gaming products make 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 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.920 the ultimate gorilla glass screen protector for your mobile device all 00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:20.080 right guys we here at MSI checking out their x99 lineup starting with the x99s 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.800 SLI plus this Bo's pretty interesting you got four PCIe 16x slots so you can 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:29.679 do quad SLI or Crossfire and dual PCI e1x slots if you want like sound cards 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.040 or Raid cards or something like that for power on the motherboard it's fairly 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:37.719 straightforward with your 24 pin and 8 Pin CPU power you've got four fan 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.200 headers so not a ton of fan headers but probably enough one of those being your 00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:44.120 CPU which is pre- designated for that although if you want to plug in a case 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 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.640 eight RAM slots a standard socket which by the way is ginormous if you haven't 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 00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.600 headers power and reset on board along with an OC Genie button if you want to 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 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:10.960 fantastic because even USB 2.0 can be frustrating to use sometimes dual USB 00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.000 2.0 8 USB 3.0 an Ethernet port which I 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.799 believe is powered by Intel and standard audio jacks for their x99s gaming 7 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:22.880 board things are fairly similar the iio is the same except for their Ethernet 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 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.200 killer chip on this board no Wireless just land killer other than that the I/O 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.240 is exactly the same the socker is obviously same the same amount of RAM 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:36.880 slots same amount of power same amount of fan headers most things are pretty 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:41.280 similar except this board does come with audio boost this is audio boost 2 not 00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:46.920 audio boost one anymore so there's actually audio grade capacitors on this 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 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 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 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 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.159 we come to their x99s X power AC this 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 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.400 have AC Wireless that comes with the board which is pretty interesting the io 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 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:23.480 really happy about dual USB 2.0 and then 00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:26.239 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 USB 3.0 on the back 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 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 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:38.560 Jacks that I was just talking about and a standard audio setup the audio boost 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 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:46.720 it doesn't have the the audio grade capacitors that are on the gaming series 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.959 board but you do get other things like voltage checkpoints up here at the top 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:55.720 manual overclocking buttons still an OC Genie button if you want to do that on 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:57.400 an X powerboard and that's that's about 00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:59.959 it in terms of overclocking other than other features like the X power just 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 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.040 done here and that's the the lightning bolt button right here which will just 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:12.000 completely obliterate any settings that you have in your BIOS possible and just 00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:15.519 resets the entire thing back to factory settings which is actually pretty cool 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.280 to see cuz I've almost pricked boards by kind of messing around with too much 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.159 stuff before so that's nice to see thank you for watching our MSI Booth if you 00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:25.080 want to see
