today I will be unboxing the super 4 with threeyear warranty and Ultra
durable 2
and dxi dxi 1 No actually that's direct
X11 so here we go what's super four about it super safe okay super speed
okay super savings okay and Super Sound
we have this is an fm1 socket motherboard with the a75 chipset which
does support AMD's Apu products okay
we've got their 333 onboard acceleration which means USB 3.0 SATA 3 6 GB per
second as well as USB power 3 which means if you plug into a hub you have
three times the available power of a standard USB port uses all 50,000 hour
Japanese solid caps and let's go ahead and see what it has to say for itself on
the back 108 DB sound to noise ratio
very very cool stuff lower RDS mosfets
um one fuse per USB port oh cool so no
matter what happens you will guard against system malfunction ensure system
longevity because you won't cause like shorts and stuff cool okay let's open
her up inside we will find a user's manual with a DVD that you should throw
away and download the latest from the Gigabyte website we will find an IO
Shield that you should throw away and download the latest from the Gigabyte no I'm just kidding you'll have you'll need
that we've got two SATA ports or SATA ports SATA cables one is a right angle
one is a straight cable they're blue next we have a multilingual installation
guide book and two more SATA cables they're blue one more straight one more
right angle finally we have the motherboard itself which is also
blue and matches the blue cables look at
Gigabyte putting so much thought into like color scheme these days I'm proud
of them all right so let's have a look at
the layout of this fm1 board now this looks like an am2 or an am3 board but
it's not fm1 means that you have full support for an APU that is Onboard video
that is right on the chip itself the
well CPU the Apu the thing that goes here the main guy okay so that means
that you have support for up to 2560 x600 resolution output by DVI you have
support for VGA as well as HDMI all
running in direct X11 off the CPU and it is powerful enough to even run games
like Dirt 3 very cool you've got your four pin power connector up here in the
top left in its ideal location you've got whatever cameraman is looking at oh
direct X11 very good okay we've got the CPU socket in its similarly ideal
location remember fm1 even though the bracket looks a little different does
support the same coolers as am2 and am3 CPU fan header is here we have dual
Channel memory support right about over here and our 24 pin power connectors in
its ideal location along the right hand edge of the board this is a new one your
front panel connectors are over here on the right hand edge of the board I
haven't seen that before but it makes as much sense as any other place to put
them moving down we have 1 2 3 4 5 six
SATA 36 GB per second ports those are running off the AMD chipset so that is
not a thirdparty chipset and next we have front USB 3 look at that on a value
board front USB 3 with a header very very nice there's a front USB 2 port and
with that red background in the back you know that's the one that's suitable for
charging um higher powered devices okay
and front audio we have look at this we've got uh dual PCI Express 16x
physical slots but only this one is actually suitable for 16x mode this guy
right here is actually a 4X electrical slot you can tell from the pins that are
inside the slot we have a PCI e1x slot and a PCI slot for your legacy expansion
because if you're running a board like this it's quite likely you'll have
Legacy expansion cards like maybe a town card or a land card or whatever the case
may be on the back of the board we find a PS2 mouse keyboard combo Port two USB
ports a uh wow I'm at a lot
uh optical audio out USB 3.0 ports times
2 another couple USB 2 ports so that's a total of four USB 2 ports and two usb3
ports gigabit Ethernet and 5.1 audio out
