today I've got another AMD Fusion product to unbox I already unboxed One
0:05
Mini ITX board but this is a larger AMD
0:09
Fusion board so this is a Micro ATX motherboard from isus it's the e35 m1m
0:16
pro and I'm going to show you guys what isus has to say about themselves with
0:21
respect to this board so they've got their protect 3.0 technology which is
0:25
about okay protecting the Earth which means it's eco-friendly and I'll tell
0:29
you right now AMD Fusion is definitely
0:32
eco-friendly it uses very very very little power okay protects your devices
0:37
apparently it has anti- surge protection which detects over voltage conditions
0:40
and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time and also protects
0:44
you so they say they have special low radiation design Shields that a special
0:49
low radiation design that Shields you from harmful electromagnetic exposure by
0:53
eliminating 50% of radiation so that's their protect 3.0 they've also got
0:58
Serial ATA 6 G per second that is SATA 3
1:01
6 GB per second as well as USB 3 solid
1:04
capacitors on this board AI Suite 2 which is their software as well as an
1:09
EFI oh interesting it's got an EFI BIOS
1:12
neat okay so here we go integrated dual
1:15
core AMD zate zat zate sure we're going
1:20
to call it zate 18 watt processor the chipset is AMD Hudson M1 and we're going
1:25
to find out all the rest of that stuff about the board once we open it up it
1:29
does feature HDMI says that there and
1:33
let's see what we've got in terms of accessories so the first thing we find
1:37
is a SATA cable or rather two SATA cables for total so these are ASUS's
1:42
SATA 3 6 GB per second cables which are identical to St to 3 GB per second
1:47
cables other than the white marks on them so there's two right angle and two
1:51
straight we've got an IO Shield we've got a user
1:57
guide and we have a driver DV which as
2:00
well as an ASUS sticker so you should throw this away download the latest off
2:04
of the ASUS website inside we find the
2:08
motherboard itself and a cat
2:12
please okay so let's take that
2:17
out so this is a very small Micro ATX
2:21
motherboard you can actually tell from the fact that it is not really very
2:26
square at all so here I'm going to get directly over top of it so you can see
2:30
that the uh like the proportions are
2:34
more like an ATX board and that it is quite a bit longer than it is y whereas
2:38
an matx board would normally be more like about here and it would be more square but it is a microatx board so it
2:43
only has the mounting holes for microatx and it has four expansion slots instead
2:48
of the seven expansion slots that are standard on ATX in the middle of the
2:54
board where I would normally expect to find a CPU socket I actually find only a
3:00
heat sink so this CPU is actually
3:04
pre-soldered onto the board we've got a nice passive heat sink on here so you
3:08
can see the overall design of the heat sink it's got a lot of fins on it now
3:12
seus has for the sake of branding thrown a little assus label on the top of it
3:17
although it looks like that would come off fairly easily if you wanted to get
3:22
slightly better cooling out of it and you didn't care about the nice little asuse symbol on it okay we've got what
3:26
appears to be a three-phase power design with our four pin power connector in the
3:31
top left location it's ideal location we have a CPU fan connector for reasons
3:37
unknown well I guess if you wanted to just you know B slap an 80 mil fan on
3:41
there you could plug it in there and then it would be controlled via the CPU
3:45
fan options in the BIOS we've got
3:50
two uh DDR3 slots so those are going to
3:53
support up to 8 gigs of memory we've got
3:56
turbo key 2 up here we've also got a 24
3:59
pin power connector at the right hand edge of the board in its ideal location
4:03
and five it seems like an odd number but I'll explain why in a moment five SATA 3
4:07
6 GB per second ports here's our clear seos as well as our BIOS chip moving
4:13
down we've got our front panel connectors four USB 2.0 front panel
4:18
headers fire wire as well as front panel audio the expansion slots on this board
4:24
look fairly optimal so we've got a PCI e6x if you were to use a dual slot
4:30
graphics card although I can't imagine why you'd want to do that on a board
4:33
like this it would cover up this PCI e1x slot and leave two PCI slots however if
4:38
you were using something more normal like let's say let's say you wanted to
4:41
use this for a low powerered Home Server and you wanted to throw like a
4:46
24 uh 24 Drive raid card in here or something then you'd still have access
4:50
to these three slots I really can't imagine any reason you'd use a dual slot
4:54
card in there um on the back of the
4:57
board we've got four us 2.0 we've got a
5:01
PS2 Port got a cat attacking my leg
5:04
which is distracting to say the least we've got optical audio out HDMI out DVI
5:11
and VGA are also other video options we have available to us we have fire wire
5:16
eat two USB 3.0 ports gigabit Ethernet
5:20
and 5.1 audio although remember guys 5.1
5:23
audio with three Jacks as if you're using 5.1 you will not have access to
5:28
the microphone in so bear that in mind
5:31
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ASUS e35
5:37
m1m actually hold on hold on that's not exactly the oh yeah yeah the e35 m1m
5:42
that's correct and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips for more
5:46
unboxings reviews and other videos don't forget this is an APU so that is a CPU
5:52
and a GPU in here it is a direct X11 GPU and a dual core CPU thanks for watching
5:59
subscribe go do it now don't be lazy
