1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,639
today we're going to be unboxing the Gigabyte p67a ud4 so the ud4 in the last

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:13,080
couple generations of products tends to denote the best bang for the buck board

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,119
in their lineup so this one features unlocked performance meaning if you pair

4
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:21,039
it up with a K series processor you will be able to unlock the performance of

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:30,480
that unlocked chip it supports Intel core inside mind you only in the LGA

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:32,680
1155 variation not LGA 1156 not LG

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,280
1366 make sure if you're buying this board you check what kind of CPU you're

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:42,120
buying it has the Intel p67 chipset which means you've got support for SLI

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,680
Crossfire as well as well uh unlocked

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,879
processors you have a three-year warranty in the US and Canada and it

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,320
features their two double thickness copper PCB let's go ahead and move

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,840
around to the back and see what else Gigabyte has to say for themselves so

13
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:59,559
benefits of their 2x copper PCB I'll let you guys read that if you want but I'll

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,879
pull out a couple gems it's got lower temperature overall which uh increases

15
00:01:01,879 --> 00:01:09,560
overclocking lower impedance so better flow of power all of that good stuff USB

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:14,840
3.0 is supported by this board including their onoff charge feature which enables

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,640
you to see say for example your iPhone

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,040
enables you to charge your iPhone even if your computer is powered off you've

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,000
got support for their USB power 3x feature which I love I think this is a

20
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:29,280
great feature it allows you to plug in three times the number of peripherals to

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,759
One USB port without overloading the power so if you if you run a USB hub or

22
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:36,759
something like that then you can plug in more power drawing devices to a single

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:42,560
port you've also caught support for SATA 3 6 gbit per

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:47,759
second which is twice the speed of SATA 2 3 gbit per second all right we've got

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,399
a user's manual as well as a utility DVD which you should not use you should

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,600
download the latest from the Gigabyte website we've got an appropriately

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:02:00,280
colored bright yellow warning in every

28
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,840
language Under the Sun socket 1155 CPU

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:07,759
only warning please please do not try to plug

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,840
in an 1156 CPU we've got a duby home theater sticker we've got a multilingual

31
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:18,360
installation guide book as well as a colorcoded IO shield and four SATA

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,319
cables two right angle and two straight

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:27,120
we have an SLI Bridge no Crossfire Bridge you'll find that with your video

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,480
card and then we have the board itself

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,440
and let me say I

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:39,400
am the biggest fan of gigabytes new color scheme on their performance boards

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,080
I love it I think this is like the best thing they've done for their boards

38
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:48,640
since they made them awesome back in the 965 chipset days so let's start with

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,920
take no no hold on don't Zoom it let's take in the whole thing let's have the whole experience so we've got a nice

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:03:00,040
glossy finish on our CPU socket beautiful matte black PCB I haven't seen

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,879
anyone other than XFX use matte matte black pcbs but now Gigabyte is doing it

42
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,080
look at that there's no reflection off it whatsoever just gorgeous and then

43
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,159
we've got a nice matte gray color to the

44
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:19,159
mosfet coolers as well as the chipset cooler and almost every single connector

45
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:23,840
and slot on this board is black look at that black eight pin Black RAM slots not

46
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:29,439
even colorcoded I love it forget color coding make it look nice then the only

47
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,879
thing that is colorcoded is the SATA 3 6

48
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:35,799
GB per second Port so now let's actually look at the features of the board cuz I

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:42,560
guess that matters to some people this is our LGA 1155 socket so you can put

50
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,239
your core I3 I5 or i7 CPU in there we

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,319
have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 plus two

52
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:53,159
phase power design on this particular board which is pretty darn good for a

53
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,760
like a a mid-range performance board our eight pin CPU power connector is right

54
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:00,360
where it belongs in the top left corner of the board and I really like I mean we

55
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:04,439
showed it already but here I get kind of this angle here I really like the

56
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:08,439
overall look of their mosfet cooler it's maybe not all that practic practical but

57
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,319
let's face it with these high efficiency designs these days you don't have to do

58
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:15,360
much cooling on them and cameraman's gotten away from me here he's looking at

59
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,199
the North Bridge cooler which is also very stylized similarly Okay so we've

60
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,360
got support for up to four sticks of dual Channel DDR3 memory and that is a

61
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,039
limitation of the CPU otherwise I'm sure they'd find a way to put more sockets on

62
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,520
there our 24 pin power connector is in its ideal location along the right hand

63
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,919
edge of the board and as we move down we've got their dual BIOS features so

64
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:42,039
you have a main BIOS and a backup BIOS and you can actually uh use both of

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,840
those so you really reduce the chances of corrupting your motherboard

66
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:50,680
completely and having to RMA it because of a dead BIOS or like a Mis flash or

67
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:55,759
anything like that here we have our SATA 3 6 gbit per second ports as well as two

68
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,639
SATA 2 3 gbit per second ports these are all running off of the Intel chipset we

69
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,720
have a clear seos jumper down here although um yep that is the only place

70
00:05:04,039 --> 00:05:09,280
for it clear seos jumper we do not have any onboard power switches although if

71
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,720
you're running your board in a case that's usually not a concern here are

72
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:21,600
your front panel connectors your USB your more USB your more USB and your

73
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:26,840
serial Port should you so require there is no fire wire support on this board so

74
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,479
here we have our what I think is really an excellent slot layout we've got

75
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,639
support for two dual slot PCI Express 16x graphics cards

76
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:42,440
and it would leave us one two PCI e1x and one PCI slot for expansion and

77
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,960
remember on p67 just like p55 you can

78
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:50,360
either run in 16x mode on a single slot or dual 8X mode on two slots moving

79
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:54,919
around to the back panel I see what is a pretty satisfactory looking layout I

80
00:05:52,199 --> 00:06:02,400
love these there's one of your uh combo keyboard mouse PS2 ports you have 1 2 3

81
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,360
4 5 6 78 USB 2.0 ports digital audio out

82
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:12,039
is supported in both coax seal and Optical flavors you have two ESAT ports

83
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:14,479
two USB 3.0 ports 1 GB Ethernet and 7.1

84
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:19,680
audio out on the back of the board there is nothing of note except that sexy

85
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,639
matte black PCB I mean this would look good pretty much no matter what kind of

86
00:06:21,479 --> 00:06:28,919
system you build around it love it thanks for checking out my video blog my
