WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.919
now this is a product that AMD has

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:14.400
pretty much been talking about since the ATI acquisition this is Fusion so let's

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

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:24.920
A- e45 this is compatible with Windows 7

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:26.320
it is AMD Vision certified it has HDMI

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:31.920
and apparently it comes with Norton which don't bother installing just download Windows Microsoft whatever

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.120
Security Essentials okay it's got all solid caps runs with SATA 6 GB per

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

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:44.680
threeyear warranty and let's see we got

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.280
all solid caps this is a military class motherboard so it should last a long

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:54.199
time uh USB Safeguard so it has an ESD protection chip you can rest assur to

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:55.920
stay on the safe side with dual current

00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:01.760
protection chip static electricity whatever that is so you can safely plug

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.199
in USB things okay say 6 gig 3 USB 3 m

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

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.560
they had run out of things to talk about here all right bough all solid

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:18.680
capacitors that's a great thing this is an mitx board and it supports AMD Fusion

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.759
processors zate zakti I actually don't

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.680
know somebody educate me this is the

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:31.720
E350 it has support for two dims for up to DDR3 1066 up to 8 gigs

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.880
Max check it out yeah yeah one PCI

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:37.240
Express x16 slot so this will support

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:42.520
full speed graphics cards eight channel 7.1 audio gigabit Ethernet four SATA 6

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

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

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:55.320
are going to open the box bam Box is

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.320
open okay so we got a driver and utilities DVD throw it away download the

00:01:57.399 --> 00:02:03.840
latest uh we got MSI talking about all their good stuff like big bang Fusion

00:02:02.119 --> 00:02:07.959
military class as well as a quick installation guide which looks to unfold

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:12.400
into about the size of a poster okay we've got an IO Shield which

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:19.000
is helpfully color coordinated thanks for that and then

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.400
we've got a couple SATA 6 GB per second

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:27.640
cables top quality and stability here's a little manual for

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.640
you in bunch of

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.959
languages EXC excuse me guys sorry okay

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:41.599
so then in our environmentally friendly cardboard packaging we have the E350 I a

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:46.280
e45 itself so this is a very cool

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.280
looking board it has on

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:55.440
it a Heat snc fan combo in the middle

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:57.360
that is cooling the Apu so what you're

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.440
going to notice immediately about this board if you're like me and you notice

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.560
these things is that it doesn't have a chipset visible anywhere on it so what

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.799
that means is that either there's something under that heat sink oh which

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.799
there is okay so that's that's pretty boring but that chipset is only handling

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:21.159
IO I can tell you guys that much because the CPU is actually soldered onto the

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:27.519
board includes the memory controller includes the

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.840
GPU includes the GPU so this is Fusion

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.680
finally here and is full fly capable of

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.799
playing back HD movies and all of that good stuff you might even get a little

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

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

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.760
got our CPU GPU and chipset all under

00:03:48.519 --> 00:03:54.680
this massive heat sink massive compared

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

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

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:05.680
connector up here and I have no idea what the ideal location is on an ITX

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

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

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

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:27.320
DDR3 1066 and then we

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.800
have wait really 1066 maybe I forget

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

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

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.960
couple front USB we've got uh front

00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:47.360
panel audio we've got where are our front panel

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:50.440
connectors hm where are those they must

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.240
be here that must be them although I'm

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:58.680
not 100% sure no that doesn't look like them where are

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:02.240
they now this is audio this is front panel sorry guys that's audio that's

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:06.360
front panel okay so here's our PCI Express 16x connector which I'm a little

00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:10.240
bit although not all that disappointed to a report is not actually PC e6x you

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.800
can actually see the metal contacts in here that only goes up to 8X although 8X

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

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:25.319
overpower this CPU long before you're going to run into that PCI e8x

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

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:36.960
we've got 1 2 3 4 4 56 USB 2.0 ports

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:40.360
HDMI VGA gigabit Ethernet 2 USB 3.0

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:41.919
ports optical audio out as well as uh

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

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

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:58.639
that's running our usb3 ports and gee I guess that's all there

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:02.360
is to really say about it it's revolutionary actually it doesn't look

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:08.039
like much it just looks like you know another mitx board a pretty slick

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:09.880
looking one but this could change

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:13.319
