WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:13.080 couple generations of products tends to denote the best bang for the buck board 00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:17.119 in their lineup so this one features unlocked performance meaning if you pair 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:21.039 it up with a K series processor you will be able to unlock the performance of 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:30.480 that unlocked chip it supports Intel core inside mind you only in the LGA 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.680 1155 variation not LGA 1156 not LG 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 00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:42.120 buying it has the Intel p67 chipset which means you've got support for SLI 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:43.680 Crossfire as well as well uh unlocked 00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.879 processors you have a three-year warranty in the US and Canada and it 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.320 features their two double thickness copper PCB let's go ahead and move 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.840 around to the back and see what else Gigabyte has to say for themselves so 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 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.879 pull out a couple gems it's got lower temperature overall which uh increases 00:01:01.879 --> 00:01:09.560 overclocking lower impedance so better flow of power all of that good stuff USB 00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.840 3.0 is supported by this board including their onoff charge feature which enables 00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:16.640 you to see say for example your iPhone 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:21.040 enables you to charge your iPhone even if your computer is powered off you've 00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:25.000 got support for their USB power 3x feature which I love I think this is a 00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:29.280 great feature it allows you to plug in three times the number of peripherals to 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 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.759 something like that then you can plug in more power drawing devices to a single 00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:42.560 port you've also caught support for SATA 3 6 gbit per 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 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 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.600 download the latest from the Gigabyte website we've got an appropriately 00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:00.280 colored bright yellow warning in every 00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:01.840 language Under the Sun socket 1155 CPU 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.759 only warning please please do not try to plug 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 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:18.360 installation guide book as well as a colorcoded IO shield and four SATA 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.319 cables two right angle and two straight 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:27.120 we have an SLI Bridge no Crossfire Bridge you'll find that with your video 00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.480 card and then we have the board itself 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.440 and let me say I 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:39.400 am the biggest fan of gigabytes new color scheme on their performance boards 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 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:48.640 since they made them awesome back in the 965 chipset days so let's start with 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 00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:00.040 glossy finish on our CPU socket beautiful matte black PCB I haven't seen 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.879 anyone other than XFX use matte matte black pcbs but now Gigabyte is doing it 00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:11.080 look at that there's no reflection off it whatsoever just gorgeous and then 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.159 we've got a nice matte gray color to the 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:19.159 mosfet coolers as well as the chipset cooler and almost every single connector 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 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:29.439 even colorcoded I love it forget color coding make it look nice then the only 00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:31.879 thing that is colorcoded is the SATA 3 6 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 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:42.560 guess that matters to some people this is our LGA 1155 socket so you can put 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:46.239 your core I3 I5 or i7 CPU in there we 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.319 have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 plus two 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:53.159 phase power design on this particular board which is pretty darn good for a 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.760 like a a mid-range performance board our eight pin CPU power connector is right 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 00:03:58.519 --> 00:04:04.439 showed it already but here I get kind of this angle here I really like the 00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:08.439 overall look of their mosfet cooler it's maybe not all that practic practical but 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 00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:15.360 much cooling on them and cameraman's gotten away from me here he's looking at 00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:20.199 the North Bridge cooler which is also very stylized similarly Okay so we've 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.360 got support for up to four sticks of dual Channel DDR3 memory and that is a 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 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.520 there our 24 pin power connector is in its ideal location along the right hand 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 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 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.840 those so you really reduce the chances of corrupting your motherboard 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 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 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 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:05.720 have a clear seos jumper down here although um yep that is the only place 00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:09.280 for it clear seos jumper we do not have any onboard power switches although if 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:13.720 you're running your board in a case that's usually not a concern here are 00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:21.600 your front panel connectors your USB your more USB your more USB and your 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:26.840 serial Port should you so require there is no fire wire support on this board so 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.479 here we have our what I think is really an excellent slot layout we've got 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.639 support for two dual slot PCI Express 16x graphics cards 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:42.440 and it would leave us one two PCI e1x and one PCI slot for expansion and 00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:44.960 remember on p67 just like p55 you can 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 00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:54.919 around to the back panel I see what is a pretty satisfactory looking layout I 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 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:04.360 4 5 6 78 USB 2.0 ports digital audio out 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:12.039 is supported in both coax seal and Optical flavors you have two ESAT ports 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:14.479 two USB 3.0 ports 1 GB Ethernet and 7.1 00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:19.680 audio out on the back of the board there is nothing of note except that sexy 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.639 matte black PCB I mean this would look good pretty much no matter what kind of 00:06:21.479 --> 00:06:28.919 system you build around it love it thanks for checking out my video blog my 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:31.599 unboxing on the p67a ud4 don't forget to 00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:36.240 subscribe
