00:00:07,399 --> 00:00:14,799
welcome to my unboxing of gigabytes update to the G1 assassin which we

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:21,320
actually oh yeah we have our G1 assassin system over here so we will be updating

3
00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:23,680
our G1 assassin LGA 1366 machine right

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:28,880
there with the Dual 590s and the liquid cooling and the all the good stuff we

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,519
will be updating that with this board

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,200
once we are finished unbox ing it and once I have the LGA 2011 Mount that I

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:40,160
need for swifttech water Block in order to rebuild our extreme buyers guide

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,440
system so this guy's got a 5-year warranty as well as some other upgrades

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,600
over the original G1 assassin one of them is a Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi card

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:55,039
that is included another one is their patent pending 3D BIOS dual UEFI BIOS so

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,199
I'll be doing a video on 3D BIOS in the near future here we also have 3D power

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,320
which is basically uh gigabytes way of saying that they have three-way digital

13
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,520
power delivery on this particular board it's not see 3D is more like three

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,720
digital rather than threedimensional whereas this is more like three-dimensional so um yes so they mean

15
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:20,240
a couple of different things what else we got back here okay so you know what let's get the board open let's open up

16
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:27,119
the board let's cut to the chase skip to the good part take it out

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,920
of and I know someone someone is going

18
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,240
to make a comment on that on YouTube I no because they did it when I did my

19
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:40,240
original G1 assassin unboxing for some reason yes both the G1 assassin 1 and

20
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,640
the G1 assassin 2 leted out a huge fart when I open them up there's nothing I

21
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:49,040
can do about it grow up no I'm just kidding you don't

22
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:54,119
have to grow up farts are funny okay so here we go we have some bullets some

23
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:58,159
bullet holes and a G1 killer dude we've also got some more bullets and bullet

24
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:04,439
holes and more G1 killer logos we've got a poster which is different from the

25
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,119
G1 original series posters which

26
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:11,879
featured the gorilla the sniper and the Assassin this one is just the general G1

27
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,920
logo so this has oh it has the original ones on it but not the new ones I guess

28
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,840
they didn't update the poster fascinating okay we've got a Gigabyte

29
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,040
sticker included and look at all these accessories that's some good accessory

30
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:31,280
action going on here so we have our Bluetooth and Wi-Fi uh PCI Express 1X

31
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:35,599
adapter which in incidentally doesn't only work antennas on Gigabyte

32
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,159
motherboards it also works on whatever motherboard you want so if you happen to buy one of these boards and you happen

33
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,440
to need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on some other machine then you just got yourself

34
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:49,959
an extra value ad we have a crossfire Bridge a three-way SLI Bridge as well as

35
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,159
an SLI Bridge these are all long Bridges which is

36
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,519
nice let's use that long spacing this is

37
00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,280
a USB data cable for that uh Bluetooth

38
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:05,720
card or Wi-Fi Bluetooth card it does both we've got one right angle or two

39
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:12,480
right angle and two straight SATA cables all right we've got a front 3 and 1/2 in

40
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:14,080
USB 3 doad that plugs into the header of

41
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,760
your motherboard so if you don't have a case that has front USB 3 now you do

42
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,640
next we've got an IO Shield uh some documentation including

43
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:28,400
some discs that you're going to want to go ahead and download the latest from the Gigabyte website so one disc for the

44
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:32,319
board one disc for your GC Wi-Fi that is that wireless Bluetooth guy

45
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,840
you got your manual you got a manual for the G GC Wi-Fi and that pretty well does

46
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:43,959
it looks like that probably went in there haha I figured out how this

47
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,720
works like a wizard I'm sure Harry Potter could

48
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:53,000
figure out how to unbox something it's too bad those movies are

49
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:55,000
over I enjoy the Harry Potter movies now

50
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,680
I'll never get to watch one ever again cuz they're not really like they're good

51
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:03,560
they're you know they're kind of fun to watch but I don't think they really Merit like a rewatch so to

52
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:10,120
speak uh you know what I'm going to put it over here so yeah here we go I'm

53
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:17,560
going to put it on its digicam camouflage box and there's absolutely

54
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:23,120
nothing camouflage about this board this board is about as like out there as it

55
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:25,560
gets so here we go let's start with the

56
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:30,680
overall package so the overall package is XL at is it XL ATX hold on just gosh

57
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:36,919
don't minute here no it's

58
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,000
not I'll be back in a moment so I

59
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:45,280
thought this was the XL ATX board but it turns out I was wrong the ud7 is the XL

60
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,120
ATX board so this is an ATX board with

61
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:53,759
an LGA 2011 socket right smack in the not quite middle but a little bit off to

62
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,320
the right side and it supports four dims

63
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:01,199
in Quad channel so that means you have support for up to 32 gigs of memory if

64
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,840
you're using 8 gig dims and potentially 64 gigs in the future when that sort of

65
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,800
comes out if it ever does okay what else we got here we have our 8 pin connector

66
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,199
and I would say it's not quite ideal location it is on the top edge of the

67
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,520
board but it is not over here in this corner which is where most cases are

68
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,440
usually putting a cutout so that you have easy access to it we've also got

69
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,720
our 24 pin ATX connector in its ideal location along the right hand Edge we've

70
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:29,600
got our usb3 connector in its ideal location along the right hand Edge we've

71
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:34,400
also got our SATA 36 GB per second ports right about here R SATA 2 3 gbit per

72
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,800
second ports right about here so that's two of those and four of those and

73
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:43,440
finally on a third party chipset we have more SATA 3 6 gbit per second ports here

74
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,919
now in terms of the cooling solution we're used to seeing pretty cool cooling

75
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,560
solutions on the G1 board so we've got kind of a sort of silencer muzzle

76
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:56,479
looking thing over here that looks like kind of like a barrel and that looks

77
00:05:54,039 --> 00:05:59,199
kind of like a you know stock or not a stock what's the thing you hold I don't

78
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,120
know the grippy thing where you put your left hand if you're right-handed okay

79
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:06,840
and then we have a heat pipe going down to a

80
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,520
pistol which says Gigabyte gaming motherboard and this is hilarious you

81
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,599
guys are going to love this okay here here here here here here here

82
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,800
here heat sink not a weapon cannot be

83
00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:22,639
assembled as a firearm so just in case you were wondering no you cannot

84
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:25,280
assemble it as a firearm and you're dumb

85
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,319
for thinking that okay not that I ever try to insult my viewers but come on

86
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,680
really like really okay so front panel

87
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:36,039
connectors are right about here on the bottom there's your powered USB 2 so

88
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,759
powered USB 2 is useful for charging things like iPads and other tablets and

89
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:46,560
good stuff like that we've also got two additional usb2 front panel headers we

90
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,599
have our front panel audio and we have

91
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,080
full support for up to three-way Crossfire or SLI so you're going to be

92
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:58,720
running 16x 16x for a dual card configuration which would leave you with

93
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:02,360
a PCIe 8X and a PCIe 1x for further

94
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,599
expansion or you can run 16x 8X 8X and

95
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:10,319
that would leave you with nothing else for further expansion unless you're using water blocks which is possible

96
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:17,039
what we also find down here is our Amplified onboard audio so headphone

97
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,960
apps I'm a big sort of advocate of using

98
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:23,400
a properly Amplified headphone output if you are using headphones especially ones

99
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,879
with reasonably High impedance which is anything that's higher end than a fairly

100
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:34,199
basic set of headphones so that is there we also have the onboard with dedicated

101
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,280
RAM killer e2100 Nick card and up here

102
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:40,400
we find all kinds of like fascinating little chips most of which I don't know

103
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:46,080
what they do here's our Fresco logic there's our Marvel which I would say is

104
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,000
probably powering raid but my guess would be that it's not and probably

105
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:54,360
powering the EA we got another Marvel chip over here okay lots of good

106
00:07:52,599 --> 00:07:57,960
stuff hey let's look at where all the fan headers are okay so we have our CPU

107
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,919
fan header here you want to sort of back up a little bit for this part so oh yeah

108
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:05,759
you are good job okay CPU fan header here we've got another four pin fan

109
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,199
header here another one here so that's three so far we've got another one here

110
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:17,639
so that's four we've got another one here so that's five so we have five four

111
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,919
pin pwm fan headers on the G1 assassin 2

112
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:26,520
and let's have a look at what we've got in terms of rear IO so we have a PS2 PS2

113
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:29,759
keyboard mouse combo Port 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

114
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:32,680
eight USB 2.0 ports and OC button that

115
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:37,440
is a OneTouch overclock a BIOS selector switch that is very very handy and very

116
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:42,839
cool to see we've also got a SOS clear button two Es SATA ports so those are

117
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,839
those eSATA USB combo ports two USB 3.0

118
00:08:42,839 --> 00:08:49,600
ports there's your killer e2100 networking and finally 7.1 audio out

119
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:55,000
including optical audio out although the omission of a microphone in a dedicated

120
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,560
microphone in import is a very strange one to me so what you guys can probably

121
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:05,040
see here is that this is a little bit costed down compared to the original G1

122
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,440
assassin but they still have left along most of the features that I would say

123
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:13,600
Gamers would care about most gamers are not loading up their system with 128

124
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:16,959
gigs or 64 gigs of memory so you've still got the four slots for Quad

125
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,399
Channel operation you've still got your full support for three-way SLI or

126
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:26,399
Crossfire X you got your killer Bigfoot networking you've got your headphone amp

127
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,959
sound card that is built in okay you know what bearing in mind okay I'm

128
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,680
criticizing them on the mic Port missing here but you can obviously use your

129
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:38,320
front panel mic which is probably what they're expecting you to do now that I

130
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,560
think about it a little bit more so yeah

131
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,680
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the G1 assassin 2 don't forget to
