WEBVTT 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:08.000 So today I've got another ASUS motherboard. This is the P6TSE. So P6 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.360 would mean it's an LG 1366 board and SE 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.519 means it's part of their special edition. And so this is a pretty 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.840 valueoriented board. So you can see first of all right off the bat there is 00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:22.400 no SLI logo. So this is a Crossfire board only, but it does support quad 00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:26.240 Crossfire X. It's Windows 7 ready. It's an X58 board. So that means it supports 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:32.559 the Core i7 as well as the Core i7 Extreme. So, it does not support Core i5 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:35.120 or any of the LG 1156 CPUs. It has solid 00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:39.920 capacitors upgraded at wow 57 years at 65 degrees. Very cool. 8 plus2 phase 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:46.000 power design, turbo V. It supports DDR3 up to 2,000 MHz. 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:47.840 And it has express gate, which is highly 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.079 irrelevant. Okay, so let's have a look at what is on the inside. First of all, 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.520 you've got your IO shield. Okay, so that's a fairly standard IO shield. It 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:58.879 is silver. Has their little foamy backing on it. Very nice. You've got Q 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.640 connector. So, I'm guessing this board doesn't support FireWire based on there's one that's not or that's not in 00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:09.000 there. You've got four SATA cables. So, two of them are right angle and two of 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.560 them are straight. Then you have an IDE 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.720 cable. Then you have the user's guide as 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.400 well as Oh, there's like a little addendum in here. So, LAN port. Oh, no. 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.880 Okay. This is an information update for the user guide that comes with Yeah. Okay. So, they're telling you about what 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.280 it means if the LEDs are lit on your onboard LAN. Okay. Awesome. Then you 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.439 have a driver DVD which you shouldn't use. You should download the latest off 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.799 the ASUS website. And this user guide is all English. So that's a fairly thick 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:42.000 user guide there. Although not as thick as the P67 P6T7 WS uh supercomputer 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:47.840 motherboard. All right, let's get this thing open. Now, like I said, it's a 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.399 more valueoriented board, but don't get me wrong, this is still a full-fledged 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.680 X58 board, so you're going to find most of the features that you would come to 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.759 expect. First of all, you've got an LGA 1366 socket right here, and the 00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.079 obligatory support for triple channel DDR3 memory. Okay, they've got a warning 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.560 right here. According to Intel CPU spec, gyms with voltage setting over 1.65 may 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:14.319 damage the CPU permanently. So, you're going to want to use something like Gskill's Eco brand or eco brand eco line 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:20.000 of memory or anything else that runs under or at 1.65 volts. The lower the 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.599 better. Okay, so we've got our onboard power switch right here. Let's work our 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.200 way down. So, we've got our 24 pin power connector exactly where it belongs. Six 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.200 SATA ports, two of which are coming right off the board and four of which, 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:35.120 all of these running off the chipset are coming out the side of the board. Now, 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:40.000 the reason for that is that you can see the top PCI Express 16x connector would 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.519 run exactly here. So, you can access these two, run them up to the top for 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:49.200 like an optical drive or whatever else. And then these four you can use for hard drives. Perfect. Then you've got your 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.440 IDE connector. Here's your chipset. Then you've got three USB headers as well as 00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.599 your front panel connectors. Then you've got a Oh, there is a FireWire connector 00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.519 uh or header. They don't give you a uh Huh. They don't give you an adapter for 00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:05.120 it. Then there's a a spot for a floppy port, but there isn't one on the board. 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.400 Go figure. Then you have your front panel uh audio. Okay. In terms of the 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:15.040 PCI Express configuration on this board, you've got two PCI Express 16X, and I'm 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.080 going to go ahead and assume this one runs at 8X, although I can't see how 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.560 many connectors are in there. You've got one PCI Express 1X and two PCI slots. 00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:28.640 You've got your chipset, which is connected by a heat pipe up to your VRM 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.799 cooling, one of them. And then you've got the other VRM heat sink up here. It 00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:37.280 doesn't use their cool like Fortress of Solitude style VRM coolers, but no, 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.560 that's okay. I can kind of let it slide this time. In its ideal location, at the 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.840 top left of the board, you've got your eight pin power connector. Okay. And I think that pretty 00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:49.599 much takes care of everything on the front of the 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.239 board. Yeah, I think so. Okay. So, let's have a look at what we've got on the 00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:56.319 back panel. First of all, you've got a PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse port. That's 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.480 the wrong color. This is the first time I've ever seen a PS2 keyboard port 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.120 that's like a dark blue rather than like a light purple. Totally irrelevant, but 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.439 interesting nonetheless. Okay, then we've got six USB 2.0 ports. This is a 00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.840 bit of an older board, so you don't have USB 3.0 support, although it's hard to 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:19.519 say how important that is yet. You've got both digital audio interfaces, both 00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:21.919 coaxial and optical. FireWire, ESATA, 1 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:27.280 GB Ethernet, and 7.1 audio. Thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.280 P60TSE from ASUS.
