today I have a motherboard that stands out for one particular reason above all
0:13
of the other ones and that is its unique color scheme I actually bought a
0:18
sapphire pure 780g board back in the day
0:22
because I loved the color scheme so much
0:26
for my microatx build and oh it looks like this
0:29
one is not white oh it's just pure white branded okay well let's go over the
0:34
basic features of it anyway and I wish they'd bring back the white PCB because
0:39
I thought that was awesome but I'll settle for black PCB as you guys know I
0:43
am a big fan of the black PCB on a
0:46
motherboard so going back to the box here we have the AMD dual core E350 Apu
0:53
okay so that includes in the built into the CPU GPU Apu thing built-in 6310 XX
1:00
11 Graphics it supports HDMI DVI and BGA
1:03
out SATA 3 6 gbit per second yes on a Mini ITX motherboard up to 8 gigs of
1:09
memory and PCI Express 16x Graphics slot
1:13
is also included what else we got here it does support DDR3 that's very good
1:19
and oh look at this this outer and inner packaging is made with 100% recyclable
1:24
paper oh thanks Sapphire good on you all
1:28
right let's have a look at what we've got in terms of accessories so we have
1:31
two SATA 3 6 GB per second cables next
1:35
we have an IO Shield finally we have an installation
1:40
CD and a fueled by Sapphire sticker then we have a Pure White Fusion
1:46
E350 quick installation guide with some
1:49
pictures and some words and good stuff like that all right let's have a look at
1:52
the layout of the board itself so we've got the Apu right here in the middle
1:57
there's your E350 so it's got a heat sink fan combo unit on it there's your
2:01
CPU fan header in terms of other fan headers it looks like we've got one more
2:05
for a power fan and then that's pretty much it this is a more value oriented
2:09
board given it is Mini ITX we've got our
2:13
four pin power connector right down here and then our 24 pin power connector is
2:18
located along the right hand Edge although unlike desktop boards I'm not
2:21
sure that there is an ideal necessarily yeah ideal location for the power
2:26
connectors we've got support for dual Channel DDR3 memory up to 8 gigs at a
2:31
time and then we have um also hold on
2:35
let me just make sure I'm not missing something up to 8 gig yep um we've also got four SATA 3 6
2:42
gbit per second ports we've got our chipset right here so those are running
2:45
off of the AMD chipset unlike most Intel boards where you can't have four SATA 3
2:50
ports running off the chipset you can only have two at this time there's our
2:54
front panel headers as well as our PCIe
2:57
16x slot we've got two two front USB
3:01
headers we've also got a front audio header and moving along to the back of
3:05
the board we have 1 2 3 4 USB 2.0 ports
3:08
VGA DVI and HDMI out gigabit Ethernet
3:13
and 5.1 audio out so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Pure
