WEBVTT 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.960 Today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.400 P8P67LE from ASUS. So cameraman has 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 00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:18.560 uh this is their turbo whatever it's called turbo processing unit or 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:22.720 something like that. Anyway, between these two you can either boost up 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.279 performance or you can improve energy efficiency. Let's just say that much. 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 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.239 actually used the Memo K button on an ASUS motherboard recently for the first 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:41.360 time. It actually works. I was not able to post because the memory was not 100% 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.879 compatible with the P67 chipset. I used the memo K button. It set it to a 00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:48.399 totally safe setting and I was able to get into the BIOS to adjust all the 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:53.039 timings manually. Very neat. Uh certificate of assurance, low radiation, 00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:59.760 eco-friendly, and anti- surge. Well, there it is. Okay. It supports the any 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:03.920 CPU on LGA1 1155. So that is Core i5 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:06.400 Core i7 CPUs on LG 1155. It is not 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:11.280 backwards compatible with LG 1156 and you will ruin something if you try and 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 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.840 suite which has all kinds of neat functionality like adjusting fan 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.600 profiles, uh that turbo thing, the eco thing, as well as monitoring your 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:28.159 temperature. So, let's get the board opened 00:01:24.759 --> 00:01:31.280 up. And we have accessories. Whoa, an 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.840 IDE cable. I haven't seen an IDE cable 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:39.920 in a motherboard box in a little while, actually. So, there's one. Here we have 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.799 two SATA two right angle cables. We have 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.399 one SATA 36 GB per second right angle cable. Please note, there's no physical 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:51.439 difference between them other than the white color coding, which doesn't 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 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:02.320 and powered by ASUS sticker. Download the latest from the ASUS website. Don't 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 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.840 fairly limited uh accessory package on this guy. 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:17.360 However, uh-oh, that could be bad news. Check this out. I found a jumper. Okay, 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:24.160 so this jumper was probably somewhere. We are going to go 00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:27.120 on a voyage of discovery and try to 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.440 figure out where this jumper came from. My guess would be the chassis intrusion. 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 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 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 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:48.879 board. So, let's start in the middle where we have our LGA1 1155 CPU socket, 00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:54.160 which supports, as I mentioned before, all Core i5 and Core i7 chips on this 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:59.920 platform. That means because we're using the P67 chipset, you have full support 00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:05.280 for overclocking K series unlocked chips as well as turning up the turbo on turbo 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:11.920 supporting processors. But because it's P67, it will not support the onboard 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.920 video on any of the Core i second 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.480 generation chips. Here we have a Wave style MOSFET heat sink. It looks like 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. 00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:27.280 Um, yeah, hard to say. That's what it looks like though. So guys, please 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:32.959 correct me if I'm wrong on that one because it doesn't indicate anything on 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.480 the box itself and that makes life 00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:40.799 difficult for Lionus H. Okay. Well, let's keep on 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:46.239 moving along then. Here is our 8 pin CPU connector in its ideal location. Here is 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:50.319 our dual channel DDR3 supporting slots. So up to four slots up to I believe it 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.560 can support up to 32 gigs of memory, although please once again correct me if 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 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 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.799 boards do not support IDE drives. Here's our 24 pin power connector in its ideal 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.480 location. Here are a couple of SATA 36 GB 00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:18.160 pers. And wow, here's another one. So that must be off the same controller as 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:21.199 this IDE uh as this IDE port. Okay, here 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.960 is our chipset cooler. So that's the IO 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.759 controller chip under there that's going to be running also the SATA 6 gigbit per 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.240 second ports as well as the SATA 3 Gbit per second ports. Here we have four 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:36.360 front USB headers, a FireWire header, we have apparently a clear SMOS jumper as 00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.840 well as a COM 1 header. Okay, in terms of 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:48.639 expansion slots, it's a P67 board, so that means it is Crossfire ready. We do 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.520 have support for uh one 16x card up here 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.280 or dual 8x cards. So that means if you want to run Crossfire, you will have 00:04:52.960 --> 00:05:00.160 enough bandwidth for two cards without any issues. Here we have two PCI slots, 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.840 three PCI slots. This is a relatively low-end board. So that's something that 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 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 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.639 layout. Although maybe I'd prefer one more PCIe 1X slot accessible if you are 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:19.880 running dual dual slot cards because you're going to be left with two PCI and 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.320 one PCIe1X if you're running a Crossfire 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. 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:34.560 Here we have dedicated PS2 ports for keyboard and mouse. Two USB 3.0 ports, 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.560 optical audio out, six USB 2.0 ports. 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:43.280 We've got ESATA, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, and 7.1 audio out. So, nothing 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.039 particularly exceptional about the back of the board except Oh, look at this. 00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:50.720 ASUS is using screws, spring-mounted screws for the chipset cooler. So, 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 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.800 coolers versus push pins, but it's not always possible for economic reasons. 00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:02.800 Thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ASUS 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.240 P8P67LE motherboard.
