yeah well that's annoying hey guys welcome back I hope wherever you are you've either had a good Christmas or you're currently having a good Christmas and if you're currently having a Christmas you probably shouldn't be watching this video anyway in the Christmas spirit we should probably unbox some more boxes since it is Monday and we have a few things here to get through in all the excitement it looks like this as a rock boxes busted it's tie we'll start with this one then ah cool we actually have some interesting boards here oh yeah it's jam-packed - this box made to fit right so these guys are all based on the new Apollo Lake basically it's system-on-chip so SOC a lot of you guys probably haven't heard about it because like Braswell before it intel sort of announces or doesn't even announce these just lets them out quietly and they're basically designed for netbooks and low powered pcs and all that kind of stuff they Kemp they come in under the core range or the so you've got the core i7 core i5 core i3 Pentium Celeron and in these guys which sort of they do come under the Celeron and Pentium branding okay so these two are based on the same SOC and then that is the high-end model so let's start with I think this one here is a micro ATX board so you get a pair of SATA cables IO shield manual driver CD and that's it so there you have it basically the makings of a well it's basically a bare-bones so you've got your processor there which includes the chipset and all that sort of stuff you do have a PCI Express x 16 expansion slot with a pair of one time slots and then a pair of what would be ddr4 dimm slots USB 3 is supported and around the back you get a pair of USB 3 ports and all the basic display outputs Gigabit LAN basic audio you're a real tick it looks like it's an eight eight seven codec basic little board but it has the Pentium 3 4 5 5 processor so I believe that the desktop versions of the Apollo Lake series feature three SKUs I think there's true Pentium and one cell run ship I'm not a hum percent sure on that either way there's only a couple of them ok so yeah this is the quad-core version that operates up to 2.3 gigahertz so that would be the pentium model so anyway a neat little board there I'll stick this stuff back in the box and then this here should be the Mini ITX version so again you get 2 SATA cables IO shield manual wow this has a parallel printer port on it so this has a bit of a legacy support and that you get a comport ps2 ports so it's more of an industrial kind of version I would say anyway you've got the laptop DIMM modules for this one again ddr4 memory will be supported plenty of USB 3 support actually more than the other board on this one and you've still got that PCI Express x 16 slot pair of SATA headers onboard so this one's a very basic mini ITX version and this year I believe this to be the flagship model so again you've got a quad core processor this one operates at up to 2.6 gigahertz and again that will be a that's the Pentium J 4205 all the same gear in this package and we have a mini ITX board here this one's a bit more high-end so you get straight away you can see but better audio same sort of video output stuff Gigabit LAN USB 3 there's another USB 3 header onboard there's 4 SATA ports you get em to Wi-Fi or you optional anyway well so we got here and it's obviously a laptop style memory again for the ddr4 interestingly you only yet a PCI Express times one connect and all the time 16 on this board I mean you're not really gonna be using this for gaming I throwing the high end graphics card in anyway pretty much a complete product ready to go sticking in there add some memory add some storage and you're away yeah cool little board and yeah this SOE say you should be fairly powerful I'm pretty keen to give it a test actually because Intel is claiming something off the top of my head it was something like 30% faster and sis mark and the graphics performance I think in the 3dmark skydiver test that was like something like 45% faster so they're massive performance claims over the Braswell quad core SOC so yeah keen to give that a go and see how it performs all right we'll get into this little package so I found it and stopped looking all right so what do we have here I wonder okay no clues yet that's that's what I've opened the box to but they are Corsair products so first up where you have cool the force Ally 480 gigabyte SSD so this is a pretty cool budget sort of entry-level SSD it is a decent size at 4-under and a gigabyte and it is backed by a three-year warranty it's a solder 16 bits per second SS s 16 bits per second SSD bit of a mouthful using TLC nand and it has a fire and controller i believe which supports 256 bit AES hardware encryption powerful protection and smart ACC technology so having a bit of a look online the cool thing about this Drive is it appears to be very very aggressively priced it's priced better than Samsung's 850 Evo and in terms of performance it isn't that much different the only downside I could find is the fires on s 10 controller is a little bit sluggish with small block writes but I mean it's not terrible by any means it still gets along fine but that's about the only weakness that I could uncover for this particular model so this is actually the first ingredient in a very cool build of doing that Corsair sponsoring they're actually sponsoring our next generation benchmark rig so just by coincidence at the moment the current core i7 rig that we use has a corsair case i think it's the carbide 600 c we also use some corsair memory in there and we actually use a corsair all-in-one liquid cooler as well so there's quite a bit of corsair gear in the old system that wasn't sponsored it was just purely coincidental stuff we pure coincidence it was just stuff that we had laying around and we really liked it so we used it and they've also supplied for that build some memory and again coincidentally we're using the this is a 3,000 megahertz stuff we're using a 30 200 megahertz stuff in the current test rig and it's the exact same a vengeance LED memory but we're using the red modules and these are blue because the theme that we'll be going with I think it's blue and white or blue white and black so that's going to look pretty cool these modules do look pretty amazing I'll just get them out and show you them they look impressive even when not active but when lit up there I'm very cool indeed so there you go if I get time with all the stuff that's going on at the moment with Christmas and whatnot and all catching family and stuff if I do get time I'll plug these in and get some b-roll of them lit up but if I don't don't worry because probably in the next week or so I'll be doing a video with a really cool build using all the corsair bits to make our new test system and that's gonna be awesome so yeah anyway there you go 4 modules 32 gig of ram and it runs at 3000 megahertz alright last box we're getting through this fairly quick quicker than normal anyway that's annoying yet another motherboard I can't show you guys well I thought we had three boxes we only had two in the end that's happened to me quite a few weeks in a row now which has been annoying it's gonna be really bad when Zen lands I know it's not going to even it will be for the unboxing series cuz I imagine there'll be a heap of am4 boards coming I'm not expecting and we'll find ourselves in that situation where I'll probably end up with four boxes to our box a little B's n boards or a.m. for boards so that's pretty much wraps this one up we looked at three Apollo boards Apollo Lake boards a cool budget Corsair SSD and some awesome Corsair memory so pretty light on things to unbox for this episode there is a very cool looking motherboard here which I'll probably review but it'll be a what we're about we're only about a week and a half or two weeks off that release now so not too long away anyway that gets the unboxing out of the way just want to wish you guys a Merry Christmas again I really hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break and though I'm trying to which is kind of why rush this one together but anyway next week we will have more content coming there's at least one cool video benchmark type video this week and maybe a pro review or something else but there'll be there'll be two videos this week I sort of squeeze them in last week and I'll probably hopefully get a bit of work done this week we'll see how we go anyway that's all for this one I'll catch you guys next time you
