alright guys welcome to the a su suite will be checking out motherboards here we've got a white one a multicolored one and a small one let's go thank you to Squarespace for bringing us to CES 2016 this year check out a link to them in the video description down below so like I said starting with the white one this is the saber-tooth Zed 170 SS or sub Ronco or whatever you want to call it it looks pretty sick and that's kind of honestly the biggest point here unlike a lot of other sabertooths it doesn't have the armor on the front or the armor on the back or any of that kind of stuff there's a minor rumor that there might be the ability to buy those as an add-on afterwards but that's totally not a thing as of right now so don't don't bank on that I think it looks super cool in terms of headers and plugins and all that kind of stuff it has a boatload of fan headers I think it's 11 in total there's one there's four across the top three on the right-hand side two three on the bottom and then one in the middle of the board for a grand total of enough fans to literally take your entire computer off the ground if you wipe your tired of hoverboards you can have a hover computer I don't know it's ridiculous on the IO on the back there's a bank of four USB 2.0 ports another USB 2.0 port just to the right of that a BIOS reset switch DisplayPort HDMI dual USB 3.0 a gigabit ethernet port a USB 3.1 port a USB type-c port and then a bank of audio plugins next up we've got the multicolored crazy shiny one which is the Maximus 8 formula whose tagline is see the light we'll figure out why in a moment first off they've got some cool stuff like high performance water blocks co-designed by EK water blocks under these little rubbery grommets up here and you're worried you don't have to use those your computer will function just great without them now in terms of i/o on the back I want to cover this real fast because it's absolutely insane they have to buy two 802 11 AC mu-mimo so multi-user mimo Wi-Fi through these two antenna ports right here you've got a CMOS clear you've got BIOS reset hdmi displayport quad USB 3.0 Gigabit LAN USB 3.1 standard a connector or USB 3.1 type-c connector a ps2 port which while some of you might think that's funny I actually appreciate so of whatever man two more USB 3.0 ports and then a bank of audio ports now I know I glossed over some things but the main important thing about this is the new lighting stuff so there's three lighting zones there's one here when we're in the middle and one up there this area is not technically a lighting zone it's always going to stay white just so you guys know but another cool thing is down at the bottom there's this white little header which is going to enable you to plug in a lighting strip and then use their rog or a lighting software to control that lighting strip and all the RGB lighting on the board so they're all in sync which is super cool because you could then bridge off of that lighting strip and make it even longer or go all around the case or make under lighting or whatever the heck you want and everything's going to be in sync and it's going to be nice and good last Bend honestly maybe least we have the Asus be 150 I pro gaming Wi-Fi or aboard which would have maybe been helpful if you've seen the follow build considering it is ever so slightly shorter in the heatsink Department and that might have actually helped me anyways this is basically just a cheaper version of their currently available current generation ITX boards which is really good to see because ITX being a value proposition is something that should definitely stay a thing and kind of wasn't for a little while there it does have one funky feature which is along the right-hand side of the board just under the board or is it in the board no it's under the board is RGB stuff so just like we saw in the previous board it has the ORA RGB lighting system in terms of plugging in fans you have three headers two that are up and near the top right-hand ish kind of corner one that is just above where you'd plug in your expansion card in terms of fancy features that it carries over from more higher-end boards it does have 2 by 2 MIMO AC Wi-Fi which is pretty badass and an MDOT 2 slot which is hidden behind the board it actually kind of took me a sec to find that one for IO you've got 2 USB 2.0 ports a ps2 port badass DVI optical HDMI USB type-c Gigabit Ethernet 2 USB 3.0 ports that Wi-Fi that we were talking about earlier and a bang of audio ports alright guys
