WEBVTT 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.639 I couldn't welcome to my unboxing and first look at a very exciting 00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:18.760 motherboard so good things yes this is a motherboard look at this it's like the 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.480 size of my head uh this is the p8 z77 I 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.359 deluxe from ASUS this is part of their minia Max series of motherboards forget 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:30.759 about home entertainment center forget about Mini Max think gaming with this 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.440 motherboard this is an ITX board Bo that has just you know what who cares about 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.680 all of this stuff let's open it up and check this out because it's awesome okay 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:43.079 so first we have the motherboard but I'm going to make you guys wait for that 00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:48.039 wait for the exciting part first I'm going to make you sit through the accessories which are actually pretty 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:53.280 good for an IT export as you may or may not have noticed already mounting screws 00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:54.879 Dual Band Wi-Fi two Wi-Fi antennas at 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.760 least I hope that's Dual Band Wi-Fi and I haven't screwed myself over here yep 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:06.720 oh and Bluetooth 4.0 is also included with this board four SATA cables two red 00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:06.720 two black that's an odd Choice 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.759 um seriously ASUS part number something 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:17.159 something I will have to find out what that is I've never seen that before IO 00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:24.040 Shield okay manual with CD that you shouldn't use and let's have a look at 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.320 the motherboard itself look at this they couldn't even find a bag that's the 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:32.799 right size for a performance motherboard this small way too awesome 00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.479 okay here come on in come on in take a close look at this okay so we're going 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.920 to start with this angle because this is like before it gets way too baller so 00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:46.000 you have an 1155 socket which means you have full support for anything up to a 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:50.640 3770k yes you can overclock on this board yes it it is awesome okay so I 00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:58.520 know I've said it's awesome a lot of times but I'm going to keep I'm going to keep explaining why dual Channel DDR3 8 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:02.719 Pin CPU power connector us usually ITX boards only 00:02:01.039 --> 00:02:08.920 have four pin power connectors this is to save space and it is also because the 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:11.680 vrm on them isn't even remotely capable of delivering the kind of current that 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:17.040 would require an eight pin okay so there's an eight pin just saying 24 pin 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.360 power connector okay two SATA 3 6 gbit 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:22.040 per second ports 2 SATA 2 3 GB per second 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:31.480 ports um wait a minute no yes yes 1 PCIe 16x 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:35.080 PCIe 3.0 lot so you can install even a 00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:37.480 GTX 690 in here and you'd have full 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:43.040 speed for that card you know full speed no big deal okay chips set heat sink 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:46.040 front USB 3 header two front USB 2 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:48.319 headers I mean what ITX case even has 00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:52.000 six front USB ports because no motherboard has this kind of expansion 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.720 on it there's your Wi-Fi card in that mini PCIe slot and then you got your 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.519 memo K button which helps you post more easily you've got two fan connectors 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.599 which I guess is pretty conservative but when you consider the size of the board it's pretty reasonable now I'm going to 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.920 show you guys the ridiculous part check 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:15.640 this out like look look look at this look at this you've got these solid 00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:19.640 connectors between a daughter board that 00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:22.599 actually does full digital 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:28.239 pwm for this board and is capable of delivering the kind of current you would 00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:31.120 normally see on a desktop board to that 00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.480 CPU socket so they have managed to do this including cooling this is all 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.480 cooling this is all a big fat heat sink this is oh so they have managed to do 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:46.280 this while retaining adequate room around the CPU socket and while staying 00:03:43.959 --> 00:03:53.959 inside that ITX form factor but barely I mean look realistically at how much 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.799 additional additional PCB space they 00:03:53.959 --> 00:04:00.360 have added to this ITX board by doing this this daughter board thing which is 00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.720 awesome so if you're doing like an overclocked liquid cooled ITX system and 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:11.879 something like a bit Phenix prodigy or a Silverstone F3 mini or something like 00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:14.720 that this is the motherboard to end all 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:20.239 motherboards for the z77 platform on the back you've got four USB 2.0 ports four 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:24.360 USB 3.0 ports optical audio out HDMI DisplayPort DVI there's your two 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:33.080 antenna spots gigabit Ethernet powered by Intel just like ASUS's all of ASUS's 00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:36.080 z77 boards 2 EA seos clear seos 00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:37.520 and flashback oh okay so those are two 00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:43.280 separate buttons for clear seos as well as their BIOS flashback feature and 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:47.039 then I'm I'm sort of sad to see sort of ghetto on board audio I would have 00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:51.440 rather seen sort of more audio here as opposed to these however if you're doing 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.720 a baller gaming rig you should probably be using an external USB sound card or 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:58.759 something like that with a system like this so I'm just going to find out what 00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:02.560 the heck these cables do and then I'll be back okay it turns out all I had to 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:07.360 do was open it up to figure out what it is this is really cool so because 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.240 they've um to save space they've actually changed their normal layout a 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:15.160 little bit for the front panel connectors if you're having trouble plugging them in you just plug this 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.400 whole block in and then these are all little labeled header extenders that you 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:27.880 can use to plug in your front panel connectors so aside from performance the 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:29.960 p8 z77 I Deluxe delivers 00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:34.199 convenience don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews 00:05:32.280 --> 00:05:37.680 and other computer videos I me just take like another look at this look at this 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.720 thing it's like awesome look at these look at these solid connectors to the 00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:47.479 see see how those go right through the PCB like very little very little loss 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:47.479 there
