WEBVTT 00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.559 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at a genuine Intel desktop board. Okay, 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.960 that's good. This is extreme series optimized for Intel K processors. So, 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:23.680 this is an Extreme Series board and is optimized for Intel K processors cuz 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.600 this is an LG 1155 board which means 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.320 that you don't have support for Intel Extreme Edition processors on LGA 2011. 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.640 The D77RE-75K has a bunch of cool stuff. So, 00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:38.559 number one is an Extreme board. Supports Intel Core i7, i5, and i3. Highly 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:44.079 optimized for K processors, which means overclocking friendly. Yay. Intel visual 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.920 BIOS, which means UFI BIOS, PCI Express 3.0, LG 1155 processor support, NVIDIA 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.199 SLI technology, AMD Crossfire X technology. Look at that. It's AMD logo 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:59.359 on an Intel product. Haha. Um, Lucid Virtue MVP virtualization for 00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.199 improved performance as well as the ability to use the onboard video for 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:09.400 quicks sync and your dedicated graphics card for gaming. And what else do we 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:14.640 want to talk about? Oh, yeah. It has Thunderbolt, which is Boss. So, 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.320 transformational high-speed dual protocol. Man, you know, Intel has like 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.119 the boringest way of talking about like the coolest stuff sometimes. No offense, 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.840 guys, but transformational high-speed dual 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:33.040 protocol PCIO delivering performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Fastest IO 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.040 connection to your 00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:40.960 PC. What they really mean is like beastly Thunderbolt technology for like 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.320 the fastest daisy chaining awesomeness. And uh that's what they were trying to 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:49.040 say. Latest responsiveness technology. Ah, Intel smart response technology with 00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.320 SSD caching. Intel rapid start. So you can quickly start up your PC and Intel 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:55.680 smart connect technologies are all present. Power supervisor. Oh, that's 00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.840 neat. So monitor ensures system protection from power supply failure. Current surgeon overcurren protection 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.920 power spikes and power dies. The power supervisor will shut the power off. 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 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:15.360 board by the sounds of things, which is really neat. I mean, one of the biggest 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.680 risks to a PC in general is if you know 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.599 there's a power problem of some sort and your power supply explodes, which is 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 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:30.080 total disaster because it can take other stuff with it at the same time. So, 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 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.680 bridge. Love it. Look at that blue connectors. I 00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:42.560 don't have one like this. I'm like totally pocketing 00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:50.640 this. Intel mouse pad. Intel has awesome swag that comes 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:56.319 with their products. Check this out. I still have this from uh this was back 00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.879 like some extreme edition LGA75 board. Warning, noobs, beware, you will be 00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:05.519 pawned. Love it. Actually, it might have come with uh 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:09.200 what was that board? Skull trail or something. The one that was dual socket. 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.040 Yeah, that was the one. Extreme desktop boards. Sweet mouse pad. Actually feels 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.760 reasonably nice. Got nice grippyiness on the back. Very cool. We've also got Oh, 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:24.879 look at that. A front USB 3. So, internal header 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.800 to front 3 and 1/2 in drive with uh two 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 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.120 plastic like some of the ones that I've seen included with other boards. Very 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 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:43.040 the finishing touches right. And I say some because these are red SATA cables, 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.080 and that's just tragic. Okay, moving 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.319 right along. Oh, neat. So, they include 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 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:53.599 before I go and, you know, get ahead of myself 00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:59.840 here. Includes Bluetooth 2.1 Wi-Fi BGN 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.480 module. So, that's very, very neat. And they also include a cable to connect it. 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.879 So, this probably plugs in. Where on earth does this No way. It's internal. 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.280 Oh, that's cool. So, you can probably use this on anything. It's just USB. 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.160 Look at that. Internal USB plug to internal USB header. And you just stick 00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.239 it somewhere to the inside of your case discreetly. Very nice. And this is even 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.560 pretty easy to sleeve as well. So, you could uh sleeve it black and it look 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:28.400 really good. Colorcoded IO 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:32.560 shield. Summary of a summary of post codes. Very nice. Love it when they 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:37.280 include a post readout. Love it even more when they actually tell you what 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.600 they mean. Driver disc integration guide 00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:44.720 in color. Oh, in color. How to build your PC. Very 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:49.280 nice. There you go. And you can tell like a team of people worked on anything 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:53.240 that Intel releases. So, little quick guide to all the different various front 00:04:51.280 --> 00:05:00.840 panel connectors, processor compatibility. 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:04.080 Yeah. Okay. the LG 1155 and some maximum 00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:06.120 ownage Razor thing. Okay, cool. Moving 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.080 on to the board itself. Intel has really figured out the 00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:15.919 aesthetics of their boards ever since LGA775, I think. And they've this whole 00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:18.960 like skull theme thing that they've got going on, I think looks really good. 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 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.880 like, you know, like a silvery sort of stylized look to it. goes really really 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.479 well with the dark blue. Love silver and dark blue as far as color schemes go. 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 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.320 it's good-looking without being sort of overly flashy and kind of silly. So, all 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.960 solid state caps all over the entire board. There's no uh no liquid caps, 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:47.680 including the power delivery as well as every other component on the board. 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:49.120 There's the LG 1155 socket with a lot of 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:52.560 room around it, which is great if you have a large aftermarket cooler. your 00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:57.280 eight pin power connectors in its ideal location. On the left, you've got 00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.000 support for dual channel DDR3 memory up 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 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:10.680 uh it depends on dim availability over the next little bit. You can at least 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:13.520 put uh you can at least put 32 gigs in 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:17.120 today. 24 pin power connectors and its ideal location along the right hand 00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:22.240 edge. Onboard power and reset buttons, very very nice. We've got SATA 3 6 Gbit 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 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:30.319 very rare for Intel to include like a 00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.120 third party chipset, but they've got a Marvel chipset providing two more SATA 3 00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:39.759 6 GB per second ports. That's uh that's fantastic. Wow. Front IO. I consider 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 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 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 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 00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:00.720 panel USB 2 ports, two front panel USB 3 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.599 ports, spitif out, as well as front panel Oh, look at that front panel 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. 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:14.080 We've got seven. love seeing boards with seven expansion slots because what that 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 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 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.880 either 16x or 8x 8x mode PCI Express 3.0 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:31.520 1 2 3 PCIe 1X slots and two PCI slots. 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 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 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, 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.599 three, four PWM fan connectors on the 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 00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:57.520 more fan headers sort of around here because otherwise there's not really 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 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 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 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:15.039 2.0 connectors, a PS2 connector, FireWire, 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:22.319 ESATA. I'm going to have to find out what that is. Uh, dual Intel gigabit 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.120 Ethernet, four USB 3.0, HDMI, as well as 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:27.759 Oh, that must be the uh must be Thunderbolt. It just looks funny. No, 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 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:38.240 audio out, optical audio out, and a Thunderbolt connector. So, give me a 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.519 sec, guys. So, yeah, basically this will when you illuminate this, it'll get you 00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:45.920 back to the BIOS at default settings, which is basically a clear SIMOS switch, 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:49.680 but not quite. However, this is a clear SIMOS jumper. So, you just go ahead and 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.959 flip that over in order to clear the SIMOS. I think that pretty much covers 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, 00:08:55.839 --> 00:09:02.080 including McAfee, ESET, Smart Security. This is neat. Splashtop remote desktop 00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:05.839 is included, although there's like an asterisk, so I don't know, other names 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:10.000 and brands, etc. Lap link PC mover and you can monitor PC health with the Intel 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.600 desktop utility. Neat stuff. So, what's the 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:17.200 point? Pretty much everything you need in terms of IO. I was wrong. It's 32 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:21.040 gigs max, by the way. Everything you need in terms of IO, every feature you 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:25.440 could possibly ask for, including the latest Thunderbolt technology, SLI, 00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:30.240 Crossfire, all that good stuff. And I mean, it's built by Intel, so like, you 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:33.920 know, realistically, it's got a 3-year warranty, but if it's not working 10 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:37.000 years from now, I'll be very surprised. Thank you for checking out my unboxing 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.399 and first look at the D77RE75K from Intel. Don't forget to 00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:46.279 subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And how 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.920 exactly am I going to put this 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.920 motherboard in this box? 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.720 Hey, you're in my spot.
