1 00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,559 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at a genuine Intel desktop board. Okay, 2 00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,960 that's good. This is extreme series optimized for Intel K processors. So, 3 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,680 this is an Extreme Series board and is optimized for Intel K processors cuz 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,600 this is an LG 1155 board which means 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,320 that you don't have support for Intel Extreme Edition processors on LGA 2011. 6 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,640 The D77RE-75K has a bunch of cool stuff. So, 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,559 number one is an Extreme board. Supports Intel Core i7, i5, and i3. Highly 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:44,079 optimized for K processors, which means overclocking friendly. Yay. Intel visual 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:49,920 BIOS, which means UFI BIOS, PCI Express 3.0, LG 1155 processor support, NVIDIA 10 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,199 SLI technology, AMD Crossfire X technology. Look at that. It's AMD logo 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:59,359 on an Intel product. Haha. Um, Lucid Virtue MVP virtualization for 12 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,199 improved performance as well as the ability to use the onboard video for 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:09,400 quicks sync and your dedicated graphics card for gaming. And what else do we 14 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:14,640 want to talk about? Oh, yeah. It has Thunderbolt, which is Boss. So, 15 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,320 transformational high-speed dual protocol. Man, you know, Intel has like 16 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,119 the boringest way of talking about like the coolest stuff sometimes. No offense, 17 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,840 guys, but transformational high-speed dual 18 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:33,040 protocol PCIO delivering performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Fastest IO 19 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,040 connection to your 20 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:40,960 PC. What they really mean is like beastly Thunderbolt technology for like 21 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,320 the fastest daisy chaining awesomeness. And uh that's what they were trying to 22 00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,040 say. Latest responsiveness technology. Ah, Intel smart response technology with 23 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,320 SSD caching. Intel rapid start. So you can quickly start up your PC and Intel 24 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,680 smart connect technologies are all present. Power supervisor. Oh, that's 25 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,840 neat. So monitor ensures system protection from power supply failure. Current surgeon overcurren protection 26 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,920 power spikes and power dies. The power supervisor will shut the power off. 27 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,640 That's really cool. So they're building in like a uh like breakers almost on the 28 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:15,360 board by the sounds of things, which is really neat. I mean, one of the biggest 29 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,680 risks to a PC in general is if you know 30 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,599 there's a power problem of some sort and your power supply explodes, which is 31 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:26,800 inconvenient and expensive cuz you got to get a new one. But it can also be a 32 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,080 total disaster because it can take other stuff with it at the same time. So, 33 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Intel has thought of that and decided that they don't really want that to happen. And there's Oh, custom SLI 34 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:39,680 bridge. Love it. Look at that blue connectors. I 35 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,560 don't have one like this. I'm like totally pocketing 36 00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:50,640 this. Intel mouse pad. Intel has awesome swag that comes 37 00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:56,319 with their products. Check this out. I still have this from uh this was back 38 00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,879 like some extreme edition LGA75 board. Warning, noobs, beware, you will be 39 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:05,519 pawned. Love it. Actually, it might have come with uh 40 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,200 what was that board? Skull trail or something. The one that was dual socket. 41 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,040 Yeah, that was the one. Extreme desktop boards. Sweet mouse pad. Actually feels 42 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,760 reasonably nice. Got nice grippyiness on the back. Very cool. We've also got Oh, 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:24,879 look at that. A front USB 3. So, internal header 44 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,800 to front 3 and 1/2 in drive with uh two 45 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:29,599 USB 3.0 connectors. And it's pretty nice. Like, it's brushed metal. It's not 46 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,120 plastic like some of the ones that I've seen included with other boards. Very 47 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,159 nice. I mean, that's the thing about Intel is it might be a little bit more expensive, but they tend to get some of 48 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,040 the finishing touches right. And I say some because these are red SATA cables, 49 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,080 and that's just tragic. Okay, moving 50 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,319 right along. Oh, neat. So, they include 51 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,280 a an external. I think this is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but let me just double check 52 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,599 before I go and, you know, get ahead of myself 53 00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:59,840 here. Includes Bluetooth 2.1 Wi-Fi BGN 54 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,480 module. So, that's very, very neat. And they also include a cable to connect it. 55 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,879 So, this probably plugs in. Where on earth does this No way. It's internal. 56 00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:13,280 Oh, that's cool. So, you can probably use this on anything. It's just USB. 57 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:16,160 Look at that. Internal USB plug to internal USB header. And you just stick 58 00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,239 it somewhere to the inside of your case discreetly. Very nice. And this is even 59 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,560 pretty easy to sleeve as well. So, you could uh sleeve it black and it look 60 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:28,400 really good. Colorcoded IO 61 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,560 shield. Summary of a summary of post codes. Very nice. Love it when they 62 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,280 include a post readout. Love it even more when they actually tell you what 63 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,600 they mean. Driver disc integration guide 64 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,720 in color. Oh, in color. How to build your PC. Very 65 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:49,280 nice. There you go. And you can tell like a team of people worked on anything 66 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,240 that Intel releases. So, little quick guide to all the different various front 67 00:04:51,280 --> 00:05:00,840 panel connectors, processor compatibility. 68 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Yeah. Okay. the LG 1155 and some maximum 69 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:06,120 ownage Razor thing. Okay, cool. Moving 70 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,080 on to the board itself. Intel has really figured out the 71 00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,919 aesthetics of their boards ever since LGA775, I think. And they've this whole 72 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,960 like skull theme thing that they've got going on, I think looks really good. 73 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,960 It's a lot better than like guns and bullets and stuff like that. It's got 74 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,880 like, you know, like a silvery sort of stylized look to it. goes really really 75 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,479 well with the dark blue. Love silver and dark blue as far as color schemes go. 76 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,240 And I'm not going to gush too much about how good-looking this board is, but it's 77 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,320 it's good-looking without being sort of overly flashy and kind of silly. So, all 78 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:42,960 solid state caps all over the entire board. There's no uh no liquid caps, 79 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:47,680 including the power delivery as well as every other component on the board. 80 00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:49,120 There's the LG 1155 socket with a lot of 81 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,560 room around it, which is great if you have a large aftermarket cooler. your 82 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,280 eight pin power connectors in its ideal location. On the left, you've got 83 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,000 support for dual channel DDR3 memory up 84 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:05,440 to probably 64 gigs would be would be my guess, but uh we'll see. It depends on 85 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:10,680 uh it depends on dim availability over the next little bit. You can at least 86 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,520 put uh you can at least put 32 gigs in 87 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,120 today. 24 pin power connectors and its ideal location along the right hand 88 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:22,240 edge. Onboard power and reset buttons, very very nice. We've got SATA 3 6 Gbit 89 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:28,880 per second ports off the Intel chipset. SATA 2 3 Gbit per second ports. And it's 90 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,319 very rare for Intel to include like a 91 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,120 third party chipset, but they've got a Marvel chipset providing two more SATA 3 92 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:39,759 6 GB per second ports. That's uh that's fantastic. Wow. Front IO. I consider 93 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,720 this to be the ideal location for Front IO. I really like this. I don't really 94 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,800 like it when they put it over here cuz your front IO is always there and never 95 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,680 somewhere else and you're always using it. You know, it's not like USB 2 where 96 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:58,000 there's a chance you won't be using it. Um, okay. So, there are three front 97 00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,720 panel USB 2 ports, two front panel USB 3 98 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,599 ports, spitif out, as well as front panel Oh, look at that front panel 99 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:10,000 FireWire. Nice to still see that. Where's the front panel audio, though? There it is. Okay. Expansion slots. 100 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,080 We've got seven. love seeing boards with seven expansion slots because what that 101 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:18,000 means to someone like me is that they put the effort in to make sure that uh 102 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:25,199 they were filling up all of the space and giving you as much expansion as they possibly can. So these will run in 103 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:28,880 either 16x or 8x 8x mode PCI Express 3.0 104 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:31,520 1 2 3 PCIe 1X slots and two PCI slots. 105 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,919 If you're using two dual slot graphics cards, you'll be left with two PCIe 1X 106 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,800 and one PCI slot. I consider this to be a very good mix. Good on you, Intel. All 107 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:47,599 right. Uh oh, yeah. Let's have a look at fan headers. So, we've got one, two, 108 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,599 three, four PWM fan connectors on the 109 00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,919 board. Um the locations aren't as perfect as I'd like. I'd like to see 110 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,520 more fan headers sort of around here because otherwise there's not really 111 00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:02,960 much to connect your front fans to. Uh top fans, can so CPU fan, top fan, rear 112 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,759 fan, and this is sort of in no man's land. I'd like to see a couple up here 113 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,400 instead, but it's not the end of the world. On the back, we've got four USB 114 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:15,039 2.0 connectors, a PS2 connector, FireWire, 115 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:22,319 ESATA. I'm going to have to find out what that is. Uh, dual Intel gigabit 116 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,120 Ethernet, four USB 3.0, HDMI, as well as 117 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:27,759 Oh, that must be the uh must be Thunderbolt. It just looks funny. No, 118 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,839 it's not. No, there it is. Yeah, we'll find out what that is. It's probably a clear SIMO switch, though. HDMI, 7.1 119 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:38,240 audio out, optical audio out, and a Thunderbolt connector. So, give me a 120 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,519 sec, guys. So, yeah, basically this will when you illuminate this, it'll get you 121 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,920 back to the BIOS at default settings, which is basically a clear SIMOS switch, 122 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,680 but not quite. However, this is a clear SIMOS jumper. So, you just go ahead and 123 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,959 flip that over in order to clear the SIMOS. I think that pretty much covers 124 00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:58,160 it. Although, it does have a couple of uh yeah, a couple of interesting software bits that are included, 125 00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:02,080 including McAfee, ESET, Smart Security. This is neat. Splashtop remote desktop 126 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,839 is included, although there's like an asterisk, so I don't know, other names 127 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:10,000 and brands, etc. Lap link PC mover and you can monitor PC health with the Intel 128 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:13,600 desktop utility. Neat stuff. So, what's the 129 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:17,200 point? Pretty much everything you need in terms of IO. I was wrong. It's 32 130 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:21,040 gigs max, by the way. Everything you need in terms of IO, every feature you 131 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,440 could possibly ask for, including the latest Thunderbolt technology, SLI, 132 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:30,240 Crossfire, all that good stuff. And I mean, it's built by Intel, so like, you 133 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:33,920 know, realistically, it's got a 3-year warranty, but if it's not working 10 134 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,000 years from now, I'll be very surprised. Thank you for checking out my unboxing 135 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,399 and first look at the D77RE75K from Intel. Don't forget to 136 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:46,279 subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And how 137 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,920 exactly am I going to put this 138 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:50,920 motherboard in this box? 139 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,720 Hey, you're in my spot.
