hey Ron we're at Computex 2017 day 1 of show floor coverage and I'm at the Gigabyte Street right now looking at some of the new X 299 motherboards which were just announced today as of filming actually so there are four main boards behind me that are X 299 till the other ones are d2 70 they're not the focus of not the point of interest today for X to 99 we're going through the gaming 9 gaming 7 3 and go down the line from there before getting to that this coverage is brought to you by Corsair and their vengeance RGB LED memory kits you find a link for that in the description below the RGB LED Corsair kits block fairly high and our pre-selected ICS for overclocking potential let's go through the basics here to clear a few things up X - 9 + 9 be new with the Intel skylake action KB like X launch have a few points of confusion still one of those is the dims so there are 4 dimms per side just like with X 99 as you would expect but with X - 99 the actual concern here or the question is what happens when you have KB leg X because kb leg X being based on KB Lake architecture naturally it's really not meant to be used with a dim so the answer just to clarify this these gone use so you ought to be using the four dams on the right side and that's it you don't get the other four dims those are for the sky like xcp use only so with that cleared up we go over some of the rest of this these boards are all using the same vrm so in terms of erm design we'll talk about that with build Zoid separately but the most important point is just the MOSFETs on here and the controller that we've already seen and those are all International rectifier components so I used some of the same parts that we just toss out with EVGA X 299 stuff they're pretty popular right now the ir35 66 or 35:56 component so International rectifier is 35:56 is the MOSFETs up these are 8 4 v core on all the boards behind me every single board 8 4 v core and then there's 2+2 4 the memory for each side so that's the stuff there the controller is voltage controllers also I are beyond that stuff there are a couple of points of interest on the board well let's start with the gaming nine I don't have a price on any of these yeah by the way the gaming lines got all the RGB stuff as you would expect Digital RGB up here and everything is configurable through software as usual the one item I want to point out in the bottom is this IRS de porc so this is actually a special 4 pin connector for basically a virtual rate so you have problem where with rate if you're running something like for 750 for example you can't cross DMI from the chipset so CPU and tap into those lanes this helps us that by virtualizing the rate some extent they've actually got it for 750 set up immediately set up to the side over here other than that they've got the mq shield so we talked about these in the past quite a bit we've done extra testing on them as well and on the MSI 1 so kind of runs a bit hot these we are told should solve some of that problem by adding actual fins to the top of it not like they're the biggest pins in the world or the most dense pins but they do have been to the top of each of the m2 slot and then there's a thermal pad on the inside that connects to the m dot 2 device don't have the thermal conductivity or resistivity of it or anything like that but that's the basics beyond that it's a it's an X 99 type motherboard just X 299 so that's the gaming 9 that'll be the flagship same vrm on this one same be around here same vrm here it's all IR stuff it's just some different let's LEDs for example no RGB LEDs in the memory slot here you want to save some money you could do it by buying the board's like that you kill some of the LEDs and you get the same VR app so not a bad trade they also have an ultra durable 4 which is I believe again the same BRM the only one that's not is the workstation board so the ultra durable 4 is the zero frills board that gigabyte is showing here with X 299 no RGB LED is none of this armor stuff on the PCIe slot none of the armor on the RAM so it drives tossed out of it still should be priced above the gaming three though which is actually on the far left over here so still be priced above that that ultra-durable for that is but I think that runs us through the basics of the gigabyte line the BRM is the biggest point of interest that we're talking about right now we'll have more information as always linked in the article in the description below so that article contains additional stuff I didn't talk about here on the floor because it allows busy check that out as always you go to patreon.com/scishow next that directly or you can go to store cameras next and found out to buy a shirt thank you for watching I'll see you all next time you
