1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,960
so with the release of AMD's six core processors obviously there's a whole lot

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,840
of motherboards to go with them and while AMD's done a great job of making

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,879
sure that you can use older motherboards with their six cores obviously for the

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:20,840
best possible updated feature set you're going to want to use a new 800 series

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:25,320
chipset board so this is gigabytes 890

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:28,359
gpa-3 so the 890g stands for 890 GX P I

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,800
think is a more like a series and then a

8
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:35,680
means USB 3.0 as well as SATA 6 gbit per

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,800
second Ultra durable and then 3H um okay

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:46,480
so basically they've got support for all am3 CPUs including Phenom 2x4 Phenom 2x3

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,280
aflon 2x4 and Phenom 2x6 all of that

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,399
good stuff you got support for Crossfire okay then you also have a 4 plus one

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,800
phase power design they've got benchmarks on here for the Onboard video

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,920
so because this is a GX chipset it does have Onboard video G has got a

15
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:05,960
three-year warranty in US and Canada they've got a sticker on here to tell us

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:12,080
about that and then there are 3 three3 onboard acceleration so USB 3.0 USB

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,479
power time 3 and what that means is that every USB port on a Gigabyte 333

18
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,759
motherboard can deliver up to three times the power so if you're using a hub

19
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,960
you can plug in three full USB 3.0

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:30,079
powered devices without actually using a powered Hub then it also has SATA 3.0 or

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,840
6 gbit pers second and that is is supported natively by AMD's latest

22
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:37,680
chipset on the back I don't know that we've got a whole lot they're talking

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,799
about their easy energy saver a little bit as well as the benefits of a 2 O

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:47,560
copper PCB so uh lower temperature lower impedance lower Emi uh better power

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,600
efficiency better overclocking all that good stuff okay so let's have a look at

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,680
what is included with the ud3h here first of all we have the users manual

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,399
which has a utility and chipset driver

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,719
Etc DVD and don't use this download the latest off

29
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:10,200
the Gigabyte website also inside is the io shield for whatever reason okay so

30
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:15,319
the manual is in all English and it's about that thick there you go next we

31
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,959
have the multilingual installation guide book the installation guide book shows

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,680
you how to install a CPU and CPU Cooler RAM install a case and power supply

33
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:28,040
basically it's a little guide on how to build a PC and it's in like 300 million

34
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,400
different languages here next we have

35
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:35,640
four SATA cables two right Le two straight and then one IDE cable after

36
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:40,040
that we will find a couple of stickers one of which is Gigabyte and the other

37
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:47,120
is Dub home theater that is it for accessories that is a fairly bare

38
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:49,319
accessory package for um for a board at

39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,800
this sort of a price point but it looks like Gigabyte has focused more on using

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,360
a higher-end chipset for one thing and on delivering sort of the important the

41
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:03,920
important value ads because this does not look like a value board the first

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,920
thing you'll notice about it is that it has huge cooling on both the North

43
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:13,560
Bridge and on the voltage regulator modules which are up here so these are

44
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:18,159
made of what appears to be aluminum they've got a heat pipe connecting them

45
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:22,840
here and they look incredibly beefy for like a a GX series or more value

46
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:26,280
oriented board the first thing you'll notice obviously in the center of the B

47
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:32,799
did I already say first thing I think I did second thing you'll notice is this is an am3 socket means you got support

48
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,840
for all am3 CPUs including the new X6

49
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,920
CPUs you got your power connectors in their ideal locations up at the top left

50
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,560
for the eight pin and then over on the right hand Edge for the 24 pin you've

51
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:47,799
got support for dual Channel DDR3 they're colorcoded so if you have a dual

52
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:50,799
Channel kit you're going to install it first in the two blue modules and then

53
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:56,120
if you want to add another kit you'll install it then in the two white slots

54
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,640
not modules next we've got an IDE connector and what that's still doing on

55
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:05,760
a board it's very hard to say and then uh under that we will find some more

56
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:10,200
SATA ports or some SATA ports we have six SATA 3 6 gbit per second ports those

57
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,280
are the blue ones and those are running off the AMD Southbridge and then we have

58
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,720
two more and these are running off the gigabit chipset that's also providing

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:25,120
IDE support so those are SATA 2 and the blue ones are SATA 3 okay then we have

60
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:26,560
our front panel connectors four USB

61
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,479
front headers so that means you can run up to eight USB ports off of these

62
00:04:28,919 --> 00:04:35,560
headers two fire wire headers then you've got a floppy connector of all

63
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:39,759
things and then moving on from there our front audio I've never liked this

64
00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:44,120
location for front audio I realize it probably makes life a little bit easier

65
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:48,080
for the uh for the routing as far as the internal uh wiring is going so you got

66
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,759
your ports here you got your audio chipset here you got your header here

67
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,160
but I really do prefer it down here cuz it's a little bit tricky to run a

68
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,440
connector over there from the front of some cases either way it's uh it's

69
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:05,039
usually doable so it's not that big of a deal first of first I keep saying first of

70
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:10,919
all I can't imagine why next we have our PCI Express 16x slot followed by another

71
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,680
PCI Express 16x slot this one however you can see from the internal connectors

72
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:21,199
runs at 8X speed so if you're running two graphics cards they're going to run

73
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,360
at PCIe 8X speed for both of them which

74
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:28,840
doesn't really impact performance anyway next we've got three PCIe 1X slots and

75
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:34,199
two PCI slots so that means that if you've got two dual slot graphics cards

76
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:38,280
you've got access to one two PCI e1x and one PCI slot over around the back of the

77
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,720
board we will find all of our connectivity options here we've got one

78
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:49,840
PS2 keyboard/mouse Port we have four USB

79
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:52,840
2.0 ports VGA HDMI and then what appear

80
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,840
did I say HDMI wow I'm off today

81
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:59,280
DVI and HDMI sure enough then we have

82
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:05,240
optical audio out fire wire gigabit landan and 7.1 audio thank you for

83
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,240
checking out my unboxing of the g890 GPA

84
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240
