1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,919 now this is a product that AMD has 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:14,400 pretty much been talking about since the ATI acquisition this is Fusion so let's 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:20,920 uh let's start with who this is from so this is an MSI products it's the E350 I 4 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:24,920 A- e45 this is compatible with Windows 7 5 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,320 it is AMD Vision certified it has HDMI 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:31,920 and apparently it comes with Norton which don't bother installing just download Windows Microsoft whatever 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,120 Security Essentials okay it's got all solid caps runs with SATA 6 GB per 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:42,800 second as well as USB 3.0 for high-speed peripherals and internals and it has a 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,680 threeyear warranty and let's see we got 10 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,280 all solid caps this is a military class motherboard so it should last a long 11 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:54,199 time uh USB Safeguard so it has an ESD protection chip you can rest assur to 12 00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:55,920 stay on the safe side with dual current 13 00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:01,760 protection chip static electricity whatever that is so you can safely plug 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,199 in USB things okay say 6 gig 3 USB 3 m 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,159 flash is a cool feature it allows you to update the BIOS easily although this has been around for a while so I suspect 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,560 they had run out of things to talk about here all right bough all solid 17 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:18,680 capacitors that's a great thing this is an mitx board and it supports AMD Fusion 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,759 processors zate zakti I actually don't 19 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,680 know somebody educate me this is the 20 00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:31,720 E350 it has support for two dims for up to DDR3 1066 up to 8 gigs 21 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,880 Max check it out yeah yeah one PCI 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,240 Express x16 slot so this will support 23 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:42,520 full speed graphics cards eight channel 7.1 audio gigabit Ethernet four SATA 6 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:48,040 gbit per second ports from the AMD Hudson M1 as well as two USB 3.0 ports 25 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:53,600 10 USB 2.0 ports and there's an IO overview which we won't need because we 26 00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:55,320 are going to open the box bam Box is 27 00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,320 open okay so we got a driver and utilities DVD throw it away download the 28 00:01:57,399 --> 00:02:03,840 latest uh we got MSI talking about all their good stuff like big bang Fusion 29 00:02:02,119 --> 00:02:07,959 military class as well as a quick installation guide which looks to unfold 30 00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:12,400 into about the size of a poster okay we've got an IO Shield which 31 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:19,000 is helpfully color coordinated thanks for that and then 32 00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,400 we've got a couple SATA 6 GB per second 33 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,640 cables top quality and stability here's a little manual for 34 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,640 you in bunch of 35 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,959 languages EXC excuse me guys sorry okay 36 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:41,599 so then in our environmentally friendly cardboard packaging we have the E350 I a 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,280 e45 itself so this is a very cool 38 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,280 looking board it has on 39 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:55,440 it a Heat snc fan combo in the middle 40 00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:57,360 that is cooling the Apu so what you're 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,440 going to notice immediately about this board if you're like me and you notice 42 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:06,560 these things is that it doesn't have a chipset visible anywhere on it so what 43 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,799 that means is that either there's something under that heat sink oh which 44 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,799 there is okay so that's that's pretty boring but that chipset is only handling 45 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:21,159 IO I can tell you guys that much because the CPU is actually soldered onto the 46 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:27,519 board includes the memory controller includes the 47 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,840 GPU includes the GPU so this is Fusion 48 00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,680 finally here and is full fly capable of 49 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,799 playing back HD movies and all of that good stuff you might even get a little 50 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,040 bit of low-end gaming going on on a platform like this so that's pretty cool 51 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:48,519 so let's start with the overall layout of the board which is what we usually do with motherboards here on my blog we've 52 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,760 got our CPU GPU and chipset all under 53 00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:54,680 this massive heat sink massive compared 54 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,319 to the ITX board that it's taking up about a quarter of the surface area so 55 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,519 it's not really all that big but then we've got our four pin CPU power 56 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:05,680 connector up here and I have no idea what the ideal location is on an ITX 57 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,760 board so let's assume that's pretty good we've got a couple of headers here we've 58 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:16,880 got some what appears to be three-phase power design okay we've got our CPU fan 59 00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:24,199 plugged in Via three pin fan header all right we've got two DDR3 slots up to 60 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:27,320 DDR3 1066 and then we 61 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:29,800 have wait really 1066 maybe I forget 62 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:34,120 yeah DDR3 1066 huh there you go okay we've got our 24 pin power over here on 63 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:39,880 the right hand side there's our four SATA 36 GB per second ports we got a 64 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,960 couple front USB we've got uh front 65 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:47,360 panel audio we've got where are our front panel 66 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:50,440 connectors hm where are those they must 67 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,240 be here that must be them although I'm 68 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:58,680 not 100% sure no that doesn't look like them where are 69 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,240 they now this is audio this is front panel sorry guys that's audio that's 70 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:06,360 front panel okay so here's our PCI Express 16x connector which I'm a little 71 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:10,240 bit although not all that disappointed to a report is not actually PC e6x you 72 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,800 can actually see the metal contacts in here that only goes up to 8X although 8X 73 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,080 is enough for any graphics card that's going to uh you'll you'll be able to 74 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:25,319 overpower this CPU long before you're going to run into that PCI e8x 75 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:32,520 bottleneck all right here we go so we got a combo PS2 Port big fan of these 76 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:36,960 we've got 1 2 3 4 4 56 USB 2.0 ports 77 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:40,360 HDMI VGA gigabit Ethernet 2 USB 3.0 78 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,919 ports optical audio out as well as uh 79 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:50,080 optical audio out as well as coaxial audio out and 7.1 audio here is the seos uh battery 80 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:54,840 which is kind of glued to the io panel for some reason there's the NEC chip set 81 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,639 that's running our usb3 ports and gee I guess that's all there 82 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,360 is to really say about it it's revolutionary actually it doesn't look 83 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:08,039 like much it just looks like you know another mitx board a pretty slick 84 00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:09,880 looking one but this could change 85 00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:13,319 everything thank you for checking out lus Tech tips and don't forget to 86 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,039 subscribe for more unboxings reviews and other
