1 00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,559 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Gigabyte 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:17,920 F2A85X UP4. This uses their new ultra 3 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:19,119 durable 5 technology which means you got 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:25,119 ultra cool, ultra fision, ultra performance and high current capability. Yes, they have completely redesigned 5 00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:29,439 their power delivery systems including their best of competex award etc etc 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,920 with an industryleading 60 amps rated power stage with lower losses higher 7 00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,680 efficiency and lower temperatures than 8 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:42,000 compatible compatible comparable products from their competitors 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,600 compatible products okay digital power 3D BIOS so that's their dual UFI BIOS 10 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,600 dual BIOS means that even if something totally bad happens and your BIOS gets 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,640 bricked you can boot from the other one new glass fabric PCB. I believe that was 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,480 a UD4 feature. Maybe it's UD5. I don't 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,399 know. But basically is better for humid environments such as like, you know, 14 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,040 Southeast Asia or whatever else like that. Cool power inside and out. So, 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,159 single package design. Basically, these these Yeah, these are like the beast and 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,600 they run cooler and they deliver more current and they're just absolutely 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,560 better than other power delivery systems. And based on my experience with 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:24,960 their X79 something, UP5, X79S, UP5 I think is 19 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:30,400 the one. It's completely silent. No coil line, no nonsense. It's just awesome. 20 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,360 Okay. 2X copper PCB, power failure protection, uh, surge protection. So, if 21 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:38,400 bad things happen again, it'll blow out, you know, maybe like, you know, if you 22 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,720 have like your power supply goes and there's a surge that goes through your board, it might blow out like one USB 23 00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:47,439 port instead of like a bank of four of them, that kind of stuff. Uh, okay. 24 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:53,360 Digital power for the CPU and the GPU on your APU. There's two power zones. And 25 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,960 what else we got here? Basically, the 26 00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,000 gist of it is cooler is better for overclocking and better for efficiency, 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:04,479 which it is. We've got four SATA 360 Gbit per second cables. We've got an 28 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,560 empty thing. Slick. I don't know what was in there. SATA. SATA. Oh, more SATA 29 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,480 cables. Okay. So, apparently there's six. We've got a utility DVD, users 30 00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,360 manual, multilingual installation guide book. And he claims, see, we've already 31 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,520 benchmarked this board, actually. And uh 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:25,080 yeah, he claims there was no IO shield in our sample board, but I suspect there 33 00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:31,440 was and we lost it. Um, so there would normally be an IO 34 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,120 shield in the box. Looks amazing. Like 35 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,200 pretty much every Gigabyte board that they've released in the last little while. I mean, Diesel, what do you 36 00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:43,400 think? Is that amazing? Yeah, he's giving me he's giving me the thumbs up. It looks amazing. Matte black PCB, dark 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:49,040 accents. That heat sink looks outstanding with its like curved shape 38 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:54,160 towards the spire in the center. Just looks fantastic. Um, okay. I can stop 39 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,640 gushing about the looks of the board and we can get into the juicy features. So, 40 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:04,879 there's your FM2 socket. FM2 is a new socket for AMD's Trinity APUs. These are 41 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,640 higher performance APUs, particularly on the video side. So, these are these are 42 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,560 much higher performance than uh FM1, right? Right, Slick? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 43 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:15,920 Yes. Much higher performance in FM1. All of our benchmarks are done already and 44 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,239 they're just awesome and they just destroy the Ivy Bridge CPUs from Intel 45 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,000 in terms of running with the dead or with with the onboard graphics. Okay, 46 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:29,040 you've got an 8 pin power connector up here. You've got four DDR3 dual channel 47 00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,360 memory slots here, which is pretty standard. Simos clear power switch, 48 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:37,040 reset switch, all here. 24 pin connector in its ideal location along the right 49 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,319 hand edge. USB 3 connector in its ideal location along the right hand edge, but 50 00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:43,120 not in its ideal orientation. I like to see these at a right angle these days. 51 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,879 I've seen that on a couple boards and it's like awesome. Six SATA 3 6 GB per second 52 00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,879 ports. This is an AMD chipset, so everything's SATA 3 unlike Intel 53 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,000 chipsets. There's your uh post LED readout. There's your two physical BIOS 54 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,120 chips, your main BIOS and your backup BIOS. There's another SATA 3 port, your 55 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,360 front IO connectors, more fan headers. We're going to have to show where all 56 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,200 those fan headers are. There's lots on this board. Uh extra power front USB 2, 57 00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:12,760 three non-extra power front USB 2. This one's perfect for charging tablets, 58 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:20,160 trusted platform module, front panel audio, and three PCIe 1X slots. Two PCIe 59 00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:24,720 16X physical slots, although this one's only wired for 8X. Uh oh, well, okay. 60 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,360 three PCIe 16x slots, but this one's only wired for 4x. Really, you only want 61 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,040 to run uh Crossfire on this board with 62 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,560 uh with two two cards. You don't really want to go any higher than that. And one 63 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,160 PCI slot in case you got some legacy stuff you want to bring with you with 64 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:49,360 your new build. In terms of fan headers, we've got one, two, three, four, 65 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:51,759 five, five four pin PWM fan headers. Ah. 66 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,960 Uh and on the back, we've got four USB 3.0 0 ports, one PS2 port, a DVI port, 67 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,080 DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA. So, pretty much every display out you could 68 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:05,120 possibly care about. And what's cool about this is that it's dual link DVI. 69 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:10,880 So, you can power up to a 2560 x600 monitor at 60 Hz. No big deal. Optical 70 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:14,080 audio out, two USB 2.0 ports, EA gigabit 71 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,600 Ethernet, and 7.1 audio out. On the back 72 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,680 of the board, you find more matte black 73 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,240 awesomeness. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the 74 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,919 F2885XUP4 from Gigabyte. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more 75 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,199 unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. A couple more things to call out 76 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,520 about Andy's platform is that this board does support triple monitors out using 77 00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:40,000 the onboard graphics. Okay, so yeah, you've got high resolution support. You've also got triple monitor out 78 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,560 support and it does support dual graphics. So you can take that built-in 79 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,759 GPU and your APU, which is next to the 80 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,039 CPU, whatever. There's a graphics core in there and you can add a low-end 81 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,120 adding graphics card and then you can combine them for like more power which is like more
