1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:09,840
so I believe this is one of the first h61 boards that I'm unboxing so the h61

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:11,480
is basically like the h67 except cheaper

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:18,560
so there's a couple small changes like it only supports two memory slots unlike

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,320
the h67 which supports

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,640
four and I'm pretty sure there's something else too oh yeah I don't

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:29,000
believe there's any support for SATA 3 6 gbit per second which to anyone buying

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,759
sort of an L Cheapo chipset board

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
probably doesn't matter that much so this is a Gigabyte board it features

9
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:40,840
Ultra durable 2 which is like sort of last generation Ultra durable including

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,920
Japanese solid capacitors 4 plus 1 plus one phase power which is pretty basic I

11
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:51,719
mean okay let's set our expectations somewhere realistic for this board it is

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,320
2011 select uh uses the B3 stepping

13
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:59,600
which means that there are no issues with the SATA 2 ports so that is really

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,840
important basically any uh h61 h67 p67

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,559
board bu you want to make sure it's using the B3 stepping and it features

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:13,400
uh something in Spanish which

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,720
um is interesting because this is

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,080
something that I pulled out of our warehouse but I think what they mean is

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,479
three-year warranty and that applies to North America as well as Latin America

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,000
as far as I know so there you go nothing different other than the language here

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,560
we got dual BIOS as well as 3 tbte plus hard drive support with hybrid EFI techn

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:38,119
technology which means it doesn't use a fully UEFI BIOS but it does have some of

23
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:40,240
the benefits 108 D sound to noise ratio

24
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:43,759
okay three times USB power which is a really neat feature basically allows

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:48,079
Gigabyte boards that feature that feature to deliver more power to the USB

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,840
ports which means if you have multiple devices plugged into a hub or if you're

27
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:56,240
using a high powerered device uh that requires more energy to charge then uh a

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Gigabyte board will be more capable of charging it than another board so here

29
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:06,360
there's a little warning don't use socket 1156 CPU thanks Gigabyte users

30
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:09,239
manual as well as a driver and utilities

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:15,599
dvd one IO Shield silver two SATA cables one right

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:20,440
angle one straight blue and some environmentally friendly

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,879
cardboard packaging and finally the motherboard itself so basic board like

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:33,440
this we're not going to find any fancy schmancy heat sinks or uh

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,560
you know gaming features or SLI or

36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,080
Crossfire we're going to find a basic board that does what it sets out to do

37
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:44,519
it is also kind of a smaller than standard microatx Port so you can see it

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,760
has four slots like standard matx but it's not as wide as a normal matx board

39
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,000
let me grab one just to actually here here's an ATX

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,519
board uh no this is an matx board which is also a no no this might be a standard

41
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:01,599
width one no I think this one's a little bit narrow too okay give me give me a sec give me a sec here guys there's a

42
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:05,120
standard width board so that's an ATX board but they should be the same width

43
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:10,040
so basically what Gigabyte's doing is they're saving a little bit of money on the materials and also making it so you

44
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,040
don't have to put in as many screws cuz it's a fairly basic board design especially now that motherboards don't

45
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:18,120
really have memory controllers on them or North Bridges there's a lot less

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,000
logic so you can easily build it onto a smaller PCB so let's go and have a look

47
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,760
at the layout so here's our 1155 socket the h61 chipset does not support any

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,720
overclocking so you're not going to need a whole lot more than the 4 plus one

49
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:36,040
phase power design that it is designed to deliver I mean you can't overclock

50
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:40,239
okay even if you have an unlocked CPU you can't overclock it so bear that in

51
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,920
mind we've also got a four pin power connector up here in the top left in its

52
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:48,640
ideal location we've got two DDR3 memory

53
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:54,959
slots a 24 pin power connector over here on the right in its ideal location we

54
00:03:51,239 --> 00:04:00,079
have four SATA 2 3 GB per second ports

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:02,439
we have one PCIe 16x slot and it claims

56
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:05,480
ATI Crossfire X although I can tell you guys now it's not going to perform very

57
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:10,519
well because you can see that this PCI e6x slot is only actually wired up to 4X

58
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:16,239
so you're not going to get all the bandwidth to that bottom slot although apparently it will work in crossfire

59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,880
mode should you so desire here we have two PCI slots which is appropriate for a

60
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:24,080
board like this because many people using these entry level boards are going

61
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,360
to have Legacy PCI Hardware that they would want to install uh your front

62
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,800
panel USB is here there's no USB 3 on this particular motherboard

63
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,479
uh you've even got look at that you got a parallel printer port header so this

64
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,479
is really for the upgrader market here's your front ports so your power reset

65
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,800
LEDs uh front panel audio they've moved it this is a good location for it

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,919
compared to up here which we're used to seeing on gigabite motherboards in the

67
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:54,320
past here we go we've got two PS2 ports once again aimed at that upgrade Market

68
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:59,440
VGA as well as DVI HDMI and DisplayPort won't be necessary six USB 2 ports so

69
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:06,160
that coupled with the two headers gives you a a total of 10 usb2 ports uh wow I

70
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,560
guess it's gigabit Ethernet why don't we double check that because uh this is

71
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,400
like I said pretty entry level so it may not actually be gigabit Ethernet so we

72
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,960
are going to consult a users manual which happens not very often on my show

73
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:28,360
and we're going to find out yeah gigabit Ethernet there you go real Tech gigabit

74
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:31,120
Ethernet and finally 5.1 audio out thank
