WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.480
is basically like the h67 except cheaper

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:18.560
so there's a couple small changes like it only supports two memory slots unlike

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.320
the h67 which supports

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:23.640
four and I'm pretty sure there's something else too oh yeah I don't

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:29.000
believe there's any support for SATA 3 6 gbit per second which to anyone buying

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:30.759
sort of an L Cheapo chipset board

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.000
probably doesn't matter that much so this is a Gigabyte board it features

00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:40.840
Ultra durable 2 which is like sort of last generation Ultra durable including

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:44.920
Japanese solid capacitors 4 plus 1 plus one phase power which is pretty basic I

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:51.719
mean okay let's set our expectations somewhere realistic for this board it is

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.320
2011 select uh uses the B3 stepping

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:59.600
which means that there are no issues with the SATA 2 ports so that is really

00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.840
important basically any uh h61 h67 p67

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.559
board bu you want to make sure it's using the B3 stepping and it features

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:13.400
uh something in Spanish which

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.720
um is interesting because this is

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.080
something that I pulled out of our warehouse but I think what they mean is

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:23.479
three-year warranty and that applies to North America as well as Latin America

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:28.000
as far as I know so there you go nothing different other than the language here

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

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

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:40.240
the benefits 108 D sound to noise ratio

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:43.759
okay three times USB power which is a really neat feature basically allows

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.079
Gigabyte boards that feature that feature to deliver more power to the USB

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.840
ports which means if you have multiple devices plugged into a hub or if you're

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:56.240
using a high powerered device uh that requires more energy to charge then uh a

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:59.880
Gigabyte board will be more capable of charging it than another board so here

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:06.360
there's a little warning don't use socket 1156 CPU thanks Gigabyte users

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:09.239
manual as well as a driver and utilities

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:15.599
dvd one IO Shield silver two SATA cables one right

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.440
angle one straight blue and some environmentally friendly

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:24.879
cardboard packaging and finally the motherboard itself so basic board like

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:33.440
this we're not going to find any fancy schmancy heat sinks or uh

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:35.560
you know gaming features or SLI or

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

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:44.519
it is also kind of a smaller than standard microatx Port so you can see it

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

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.000
let me grab one just to actually here here's an ATX

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

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

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:05.120
standard width board so that's an ATX board but they should be the same width

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

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

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:18.120
really have memory controllers on them or North Bridges there's a lot less

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

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:26.760
at the layout so here's our 1155 socket the h61 chipset does not support any

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

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:36.040
phase power design that it is designed to deliver I mean you can't overclock

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

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

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:48.640
ideal location we've got two DDR3 memory

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:54.959
slots a 24 pin power connector over here on the right in its ideal location we

00:03:51.239 --> 00:04:00.079
have four SATA 2 3 GB per second ports

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:02.439
we have one PCIe 16x slot and it claims

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

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

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

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:19.880
mode should you so desire here we have two PCI slots which is appropriate for a

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.080
board like this because many people using these entry level boards are going

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:28.360
to have Legacy PCI Hardware that they would want to install uh your front

00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:31.800
panel USB is here there's no USB 3 on this particular motherboard

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

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:41.479
is really for the upgrader market here's your front ports so your power reset

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.800
LEDs uh front panel audio they've moved it this is a good location for it

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.919
compared to up here which we're used to seeing on gigabite motherboards in the

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

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

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

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:11.560
guess it's gigabit Ethernet why don't we double check that because uh this is

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:16.400
like I said pretty entry level so it may not actually be gigabit Ethernet so we

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:21.960
are going to consult a users manual which happens not very often on my show

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:28.360
and we're going to find out yeah gigabit Ethernet there you go real Tech gigabit

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:31.120
Ethernet and finally 5.1 audio out thank

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:35.919
