1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,960 Today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,400 P8P67LE from ASUS. So cameraman has 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:15,440 already jumped ahead of me and he's looking at all of the different stuff down here. So we have their 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,560 uh this is their turbo whatever it's called turbo processing unit or 5 00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:22,720 something like that. Anyway, between these two you can either boost up 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,279 performance or you can improve energy efficiency. Let's just say that much. 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,920 Here we have support for SATA 6 Gbit per second. We have USB 3 and Memo K. And I 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,239 actually used the Memo K button on an ASUS motherboard recently for the first 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:41,360 time. It actually works. I was not able to post because the memory was not 100% 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,879 compatible with the P67 chipset. I used the memo K button. It set it to a 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,399 totally safe setting and I was able to get into the BIOS to adjust all the 12 00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:53,039 timings manually. Very neat. Uh certificate of assurance, low radiation, 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:59,760 eco-friendly, and anti- surge. Well, there it is. Okay. It supports the any 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:03,920 CPU on LGA1 1155. So that is Core i5 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,400 Core i7 CPUs on LG 1155. It is not 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,280 backwards compatible with LG 1156 and you will ruin something if you try and 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,280 do that. All right, we have an EFI BIOS which is a very cool thing as well as AI 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,840 suite which has all kinds of neat functionality like adjusting fan 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,600 profiles, uh that turbo thing, the eco thing, as well as monitoring your 20 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,159 temperature. So, let's get the board opened 21 00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:31,280 up. And we have accessories. Whoa, an 22 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:33,840 IDE cable. I haven't seen an IDE cable 23 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:39,920 in a motherboard box in a little while, actually. So, there's one. Here we have 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,799 two SATA two right angle cables. We have 25 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,399 one SATA 36 GB per second right angle cable. Please note, there's no physical 26 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,439 difference between them other than the white color coding, which doesn't 27 00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:57,280 matter. Here's an IO shield. Here is a users's guide and here is a support DVD 28 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:02,320 and powered by ASUS sticker. Download the latest from the ASUS website. Don't 29 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:06,799 bother with that CD. This is an LE board, so that is why we are seeing a 30 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,840 fairly limited uh accessory package on this guy. 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:17,360 However, uh-oh, that could be bad news. Check this out. I found a jumper. Okay, 32 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:24,160 so this jumper was probably somewhere. We are going to go 33 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:27,120 on a voyage of discovery and try to 34 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,440 figure out where this jumper came from. My guess would be the chassis intrusion. 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,599 Oh no. Oh, here we are. Here we are. Clear. This is a clear SIMOS. There is 36 00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:39,120 no chassis intrusion thing. So 1 to two is normal. Let's assume one to two is 37 00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,599 those two. There we go. So that's where that came from hopefully. And here's the 38 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,879 board. So, let's start in the middle where we have our LGA1 1155 CPU socket, 39 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,160 which supports, as I mentioned before, all Core i5 and Core i7 chips on this 40 00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:59,920 platform. That means because we're using the P67 chipset, you have full support 41 00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:05,280 for overclocking K series unlocked chips as well as turning up the turbo on turbo 42 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:11,920 supporting processors. But because it's P67, it will not support the onboard 43 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,920 video on any of the Core i second 44 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:18,480 generation chips. Here we have a Wave style MOSFET heat sink. It looks like 45 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:24,080 this board is using like a 4 + 1 phase power design as far as I can tell. 46 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,280 Um, yeah, hard to say. That's what it looks like though. So guys, please 47 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,959 correct me if I'm wrong on that one because it doesn't indicate anything on 48 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,480 the box itself and that makes life 49 00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:40,799 difficult for Lionus H. Okay. Well, let's keep on 50 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,239 moving along then. Here is our 8 pin CPU connector in its ideal location. Here is 51 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,319 our dual channel DDR3 supporting slots. So up to four slots up to I believe it 52 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,560 can support up to 32 gigs of memory, although please once again correct me if 53 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,040 I'm wrong. Here's the memo K button. one IDE port. Check that out. Yo, so if you 54 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,760 have an IDE drive you want to use, this is the board you want because most P67 55 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,799 boards do not support IDE drives. Here's our 24 pin power connector in its ideal 56 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,480 location. Here are a couple of SATA 36 GB 57 00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:18,160 pers. And wow, here's another one. So that must be off the same controller as 58 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:21,199 this IDE uh as this IDE port. Okay, here 59 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,960 is our chipset cooler. So that's the IO 60 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,759 controller chip under there that's going to be running also the SATA 6 gigbit per 61 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,240 second ports as well as the SATA 3 Gbit per second ports. Here we have four 62 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,360 front USB headers, a FireWire header, we have apparently a clear SMOS jumper as 63 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,840 well as a COM 1 header. Okay, in terms of 64 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:48,639 expansion slots, it's a P67 board, so that means it is Crossfire ready. We do 65 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,520 have support for uh one 16x card up here 66 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:55,280 or dual 8x cards. So that means if you want to run Crossfire, you will have 67 00:04:52,960 --> 00:05:00,160 enough bandwidth for two cards without any issues. Here we have two PCI slots, 68 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,840 three PCI slots. This is a relatively low-end board. So that's something that 69 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,479 I've come to expect because you may want to carry forward your sound card or some 70 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,400 other PCI device. We've got two PCIe 1X slots. And this is a fairly ideal uh 71 00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:16,639 layout. Although maybe I'd prefer one more PCIe 1X slot accessible if you are 72 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,880 running dual dual slot cards because you're going to be left with two PCI and 73 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,320 one PCIe1X if you're running a Crossfire 74 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,160 configuration. So let's have a look at the IO shield on the back of the board. 75 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:34,560 Here we have dedicated PS2 ports for keyboard and mouse. Two USB 3.0 ports, 76 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,560 optical audio out, six USB 2.0 ports. 77 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:43,280 We've got ESATA, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, and 7.1 audio out. So, nothing 78 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,039 particularly exceptional about the back of the board except Oh, look at this. 79 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,720 ASUS is using screws, spring-mounted screws for the chipset cooler. So, 80 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,039 that's uh that's a pretty nice touch. I do like to see screws used for mounting 81 00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,800 coolers versus push pins, but it's not always possible for economic reasons. 82 00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,800 Thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ASUS 83 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:06,240 P8P67LE motherboard.
