4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,720
right guys we're here at the EVGA Booth with an pretty interesting motherboard

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:23,240
this is their x99 micro which we may or may not have at the office already I'm

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,039
not sure what type of things there are covering that so I'm going to say may or

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:32,680
may not this board is fairly interesting they have a nice little cover over their

8
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:34,920
IO which is compris of 6 USB 2.0 ports a

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,520
clear seos button in between the USB 2.0 ports and four USB 3.0 Ethernet and

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,440
audio jacks I'm actually happy that there's a whole bunch of USB 2.0 and I

11
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:46,520
know a few people are going to look at me kind of weird for that but it's

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,600
really nice because compatibility for USB 3.0 honestly isn't that great so

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:55,039
when I'm setting up a computer I like having at least three cuz then I have

14
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:57,760
USB uh like a general USB stick keyboard and mouse at the very least so it's

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440
actually nice to see quite a few of those looking at the board itself we

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,600
have a CPU power at the top two fans a clear

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:11,720
seam Lo button power reset some sort of I'm assuming voltage checkout point a

18
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:17,960
post LED uh Power for the motherboard as a whole six SATA ports USB 2.0 uh front

19
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:24,360
panel connectors USB 3.0 another chassis fan another chassis fan spit if out and

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,000
your audio in right there for Lanes

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:31,439
we've got a PCIe uh x16 slot and I

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,479
believe an X8 and another x16 it's 1668

23
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:38,200
sorry for that we have an M2 socket right kind of in between your 16 and

24
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,399
your 16 right in there in the middle and then you have four RAM slots in total

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,799
for this board it's really interesting because it's a micro board this socket

26
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:49,680
is freaking huge if you haven't noticed that yet so it's pretty cool that they

27
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,920
were actually able to fit it on a micro board I know I was just talking to them they said they wanted to be able to fit

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,680
it on an ITX board so they can fit it in one of their cases but as of right now

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,439
maybe not so much because of how freaking massive that socket actually is

30
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:05,799
all right guys now we're moving on to the x99 for the win jumping into IO for

31
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:08,840
this one again a nice little metal cover which will make it look really sweet

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,239
it's not super different from the past one uh another six USB 2.0 ports another

33
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:18,120
clear seamos button dual Ethernet uh four USB 3.0 and then your standard

34
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,640
audio jack so that's actually pretty much the same jumping up at the top we

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,519
have another fan header on the left hand side we have your CPU power another fan

36
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,640
header another fan header power reset buttons I believe a voltage checkpoint

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,800
like I said before and then you have a right right angled uh normal 24 pin

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,160
power for your motherboard which is really cool that that's right angled not

39
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:41,319
all cases but a lot of cases we able to take really really good advantage of

40
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:48,239
that so I'm happy to see that a right angled fan Port again super cool a whole

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,120
ton of SATA ports 2 4 6 8 10 SATA ports

42
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:55,840
which is impressive another fan slot under that your front IO ports uh your

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,959
front IO headers sorry USB 3.0 USB 2.0

44
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,400
another right angle fan header uh an

45
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,599
onboard speaker which actually the smaller one had as well which is pretty cool another right angle fan header so

46
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,920
you can plug not only a crap ton of fans into this thing but a lot of them are going to be right angle and then you

47
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,159
have power for your uh expansion card Lanes which is cool to see if you're

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,319
going to be running a massive amount of graphics cards but I don't expect a ton

49
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:23,799
of you to do that but it's still pretty cool so it's not required to plug that in just so you guys know and then you

50
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,319
also have your sped if out and uh audio

51
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,040
jacks right there this one instead of having four RAM slots actually has eight

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,439
RAM slots and then yet again it just has that massive massive socket all right

53
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:36,400
guys now this is the x99 classified I'm mainly just going to be covering

54
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,879
differences the io's the same this plate Shield here is the same same amount of

55
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,080
RAM slots but one thing that they told me about is that there is more gold

56
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:46,879
content in the actual socket than in their other two boards which is pretty

57
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:52,239
interesting I'm not going to be able to test anything like that or anything on the boards because this is just kind of

58
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,760
a visual overview as we don't actually have this in the office maybe people get

59
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:58,480
this in the office later and be able to talk about the finer details later on

60
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,799
other than that it's pretty similar except that there are two m two sockets

61
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,959
we have an extended M2 socket down here and then we have this is a keym socket

62
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,720
and then we have a key e socket here for another M2 card just not quite as long

63
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,359
there's dual CPU power instead of single dpu CPU power like on the previous one

64
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,400
you still the right angle uh 24 pin same amount of SATA slots all that kind of

65
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,840
stuff one thing that I didn't talk about on the previous board was its Lanes so

66
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:27,600
you've got a 16x an 8X another 8X a 16x

67
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,039
a 4X and another 8X that is a crap ton of lanes but kind of actually what I was

68
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,520
expecting from this board so it's pretty cool to see all right guys thank you for
