00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.720
right guys we're here at the EVGA Booth with an pretty interesting motherboard

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

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

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:32.680
may not this board is fairly interesting they have a nice little cover over their

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:34.920
IO which is compris of 6 USB 2.0 ports a

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

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

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

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:50.600
really nice because compatibility for USB 3.0 honestly isn't that great so

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

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

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.440
actually nice to see quite a few of those looking at the board itself we

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:06.600
have a CPU power at the top two fans a clear

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:11.720
seam Lo button power reset some sort of I'm assuming voltage checkout point a

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

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:24.360
panel connectors USB 3.0 another chassis fan another chassis fan spit if out and

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:28.000
your audio in right there for Lanes

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:31.439
we've got a PCIe uh x16 slot and I

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.479
believe an X8 and another x16 it's 1668

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:38.200
sorry for that we have an M2 socket right kind of in between your 16 and

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

00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:46.799
for this board it's really interesting because it's a micro board this socket

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

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

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

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:01.439
maybe not so much because of how freaking massive that socket actually is

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

00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:08.840
this one again a nice little metal cover which will make it look really sweet

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

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.120
clear seamos button dual Ethernet uh four USB 3.0 and then your standard

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:21.640
audio jack so that's actually pretty much the same jumping up at the top we

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.519
have another fan header on the left hand side we have your CPU power another fan

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.640
header another fan header power reset buttons I believe a voltage checkpoint

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:33.800
like I said before and then you have a right right angled uh normal 24 pin

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.160
power for your motherboard which is really cool that that's right angled not

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:41.319
all cases but a lot of cases we able to take really really good advantage of

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

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.120
ton of SATA ports 2 4 6 8 10 SATA ports

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:55.840
which is impressive another fan slot under that your front IO ports uh your

00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.959
front IO headers sorry USB 3.0 USB 2.0

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.400
another right angle fan header uh an

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

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

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.159
have power for your uh expansion card Lanes which is cool to see if you're

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

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

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:25.319
also have your sped if out and uh audio

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.040
jacks right there this one instead of having four RAM slots actually has eight

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:33.439
RAM slots and then yet again it just has that massive massive socket all right

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.400
guys now this is the x99 classified I'm mainly just going to be covering

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:39.879
differences the io's the same this plate Shield here is the same same amount of

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:44.080
RAM slots but one thing that they told me about is that there is more gold

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:46.879
content in the actual socket than in their other two boards which is pretty

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

00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:54.760
a visual overview as we don't actually have this in the office maybe people get

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.480
this in the office later and be able to talk about the finer details later on

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.799
other than that it's pretty similar except that there are two m two sockets

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

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

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:16.359
there's dual CPU power instead of single dpu CPU power like on the previous one

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

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

00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:27.600
you've got a 16x an 8X another 8X a 16x

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

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
