WEBVTT

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.960
so with the release of AMD's six core processors obviously there's a whole lot

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.840
of motherboards to go with them and while AMD's done a great job of making

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.879
sure that you can use older motherboards with their six cores obviously for the

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:20.840
best possible updated feature set you're going to want to use a new 800 series

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:25.320
chipset board so this is gigabytes 890

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:28.359
gpa-3 so the 890g stands for 890 GX P I

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:31.800
think is a more like a series and then a

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:35.680
means USB 3.0 as well as SATA 6 gbit per

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.800
second Ultra durable and then 3H um okay

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:46.480
so basically they've got support for all am3 CPUs including Phenom 2x4 Phenom 2x3

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.280
aflon 2x4 and Phenom 2x6 all of that

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:53.399
good stuff you got support for Crossfire okay then you also have a 4 plus one

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.800
phase power design they've got benchmarks on here for the Onboard video

00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.920
so because this is a GX chipset it does have Onboard video G has got a

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

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:12.080
about that and then there are 3 three3 onboard acceleration so USB 3.0 USB

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:16.479
power time 3 and what that means is that every USB port on a Gigabyte 333

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.759
motherboard can deliver up to three times the power so if you're using a hub

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.960
you can plug in three full USB 3.0

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:30.079
powered devices without actually using a powered Hub then it also has SATA 3.0 or

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.840
6 gbit pers second and that is is supported natively by AMD's latest

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

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

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:47.560
copper PCB so uh lower temperature lower impedance lower Emi uh better power

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.600
efficiency better overclocking all that good stuff okay so let's have a look at

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.680
what is included with the ud3h here first of all we have the users manual

00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.399
which has a utility and chipset driver

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:04.719
Etc DVD and don't use this download the latest off

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:10.200
the Gigabyte website also inside is the io shield for whatever reason okay so

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

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.959
have the multilingual installation guide book the installation guide book shows

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.680
you how to install a CPU and CPU Cooler RAM install a case and power supply

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

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.400
different languages here next we have

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:35.640
four SATA cables two right Le two straight and then one IDE cable after

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.040
that we will find a couple of stickers one of which is Gigabyte and the other

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:47.120
is Dub home theater that is it for accessories that is a fairly bare

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:49.319
accessory package for um for a board at

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.800
this sort of a price point but it looks like Gigabyte has focused more on using

00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:59.360
a higher-end chipset for one thing and on delivering sort of the important the

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:03.920
important value ads because this does not look like a value board the first

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.920
thing you'll notice about it is that it has huge cooling on both the North

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:13.560
Bridge and on the voltage regulator modules which are up here so these are

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:18.159
made of what appears to be aluminum they've got a heat pipe connecting them

00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:22.840
here and they look incredibly beefy for like a a GX series or more value

00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:26.280
oriented board the first thing you'll notice obviously in the center of the B

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

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:34.840
for all am3 CPUs including the new X6

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.920
CPUs you got your power connectors in their ideal locations up at the top left

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

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:47.799
got support for dual Channel DDR3 they're colorcoded so if you have a dual

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:50.799
Channel kit you're going to install it first in the two blue modules and then

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

00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:00.640
not modules next we've got an IDE connector and what that's still doing on

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

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

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:14.280
are the blue ones and those are running off the AMD Southbridge and then we have

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.720
two more and these are running off the gigabit chipset that's also providing

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

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.560
our front panel connectors four USB

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:31.479
front headers so that means you can run up to eight USB ports off of these

00:04:28.919 --> 00:04:35.560
headers two fire wire headers then you've got a floppy connector of all

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:39.759
things and then moving on from there our front audio I've never liked this

00:04:37.039 --> 00:04:44.120
location for front audio I realize it probably makes life a little bit easier

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

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.759
your ports here you got your audio chipset here you got your header here

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

00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.440
connector over there from the front of some cases either way it's uh it's

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

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

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.680
PCI Express 16x slot this one however you can see from the internal connectors

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

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:23.360
at PCIe 8X speed for both of them which

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.840
doesn't really impact performance anyway next we've got three PCIe 1X slots and

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:34.199
two PCI slots so that means that if you've got two dual slot graphics cards

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

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:44.720
board we will find all of our connectivity options here we've got one

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:49.840
PS2 keyboard/mouse Port we have four USB

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:52.840
2.0 ports VGA HDMI and then what appear

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:56.840
did I say HDMI wow I'm off today

00:05:52.840 --> 00:05:59.280
DVI and HDMI sure enough then we have

00:05:56.840 --> 00:06:05.240
optical audio out fire wire gigabit landan and 7.1 audio thank you for

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.240
checking out my unboxing of the g890 GPA

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.240
