welcome to my unboxing of gigabytes update to the g1 assassin which we actually oh yeah we have our do you want assasin system over here so we will be updating our g1 assassin LGA 1366 machine right there with the dual 5 90s and the liquid cooling and the all the good stuff we will be updating that with this board once we are finished unboxing it and once I have the LGA 2011 mount that I need for Smith Tech's waterblock in order to rebuild our extreme buyer's guide system so this guy's got a 5 year warranty as well as some other upgrades over the original g1 assess and one of them is a Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi card that is included another one is their patent-pending 3d bios dual UEFI bios so I'll be doing a video on 3d bios in the near future here we also have 3d power which is basically gigabytes way of saying that they have 3-way digital power delivery on this particular board it's not see 3d is more like three digital rather than 3-dimensional whereas this is more like three dimensional so yes so they mean a couple of different things what else we got back here ok so you know what let's get the board open let's open up the board let's cut to the chase skip to the good part and I know someone someone is going to make a comment on that on YouTube I know because they did it when I did my original d1 assassin unboxing for some reason yes both the g1 assassin one and the g1 assassin to let out a huge fart when I open them up there's nothing I can do about it grow up now I'm just kidding you don't have to grow up farts are funny ok so here we go we have some bullets some bullet holes and a g1 killer dude we've also got some more bullets and bullet holes and more g1 killer logos we've got a poster which is different from the g1 original series posters which featured the gorilla the sniper and the assassin this one is just the general g1 logo so this has oh it has the original ones on but not the new ones I guess they didn't update the poster fascinating okay we've got a gigabyte sticker included and look at all these accessories that's some good accessory action going on here so we have our Bluetooth and Wi-Fi PCI Express 1x adapter which incidentally doesn't only work antennas on gigabyte motherboards it also works on whatever motherboard you want so if you happen to buy one of these boards and you happen to need Wi-Fi and bluetooth on some other machines and you just got yourself an extra value add we have a crossfire bridge a 3-way SLI bridge as well as an SLI bridge these are all long bridges which is nice let's you use that long spacing this is a USB data cable for that Bluetooth card all right Wi-Fi Bluetooth card it does both we've got one right angle or two right angle and two straight SATA cables all right we've got a front three and a half inch USB 3 doodad that plugs into the header of your motherboard so if you don't have a case that has front USB 3 now you do next we've got an i/o shield some documentation including some disks that you're gonna want to go ahead and download the latest from the gigabyte website so one disk for the board one disk for your GC Wi-Fi that is that a wireless bluetooth guy you got your manual you got a manual for the GCC Wi-Fi and that pretty well does it looks like that probably went in there aha I figured out how this works like a gizzard sure Harry Potter could figure out how to unblock something it's too bad those movies are over I enjoyed the Harry Potter movies now I'll never get to watch one ever again because they're not really like they're good they're no they're kind of fun to watch but I don't think they really merit like a rewatch so to speak you know what I'm gonna put it over here yeah we're gonna put it on its digicam camouflage box and there's absolutely nothing camouflage about this board this board is about as like out there as it gets so here we go let's start with the overall package so the overall package is Excel is it Excel a chance hold on just a gosh darn minute here no it's not I'll be back in a moment so I thought this was the XLE ATX board but it turns out I was wrong the ud7 is the excel ATX board so this is an ATX board with an LGA 2011 socket right smack in the not-quite middle but a little bit off to the right side and it supports four dims in quad-channel so that means you have support for up to 32 gigs of memory if you're using 8 gig dims and potentially 64 gigs in the future when that sort of comes out if it ever does ok what else we got here we have our 8 pin connector and I would say it's not quite ideal location it is on the top edge of the board but it is not over here in this corner which is where most cases are usually putting a cutout so that you have easy access to it we've also got our 24 pin ATX connector in its ideal location along the right-hand edge we've got our USB 3 connector and it's ideal location along the right-hand edge we've also got our SE 2 3 6 gigabit per second ports right about here our SATA 2 3 gigabit per second ports right about here so that's 2 of those and for those and finally on a third-party chipset we have more say 2 3 6 gigabit per second ports here now in terms of the cooling solution we're used to seeing pretty cool cooling solutions on the g1 board so we've got kind of a sort of silence or muzzle looking thing over here that looks like kind of like a barrel and that looks kind of Lake up you know stock or not a stock what's the thing you hold I don't know the grippy thing where you put your left hand if you're right-handed okay and then we have a heat pipe going down to a pistol which says gigabyte gaming motherboard and this is hilarious you guys are gonna love this ok here Denton it heatsink not a weapon cannot be assembled as a firearm so just in case you were wondering no you cannot assemble it as a firearm and you're dumb for thinking that ok not that I ever try to insult my viewers but come on really like really ok so front panel connectors are right about here on the bottom there's your powered USB 2 so powered USB 2 is useful for charging things like iPads and other tablets and good stuff like that we've also got two additional USB to front panel headers we have our front panel audio and we have full support for up to three way crossfire or SLI so you're going to be running 16 X 16 X 4 a dual card configuration which would leave you with PCIe 8 X and a PCIe 1x for further expansion or you can run 16 X 8 X 8 X and that would leave you with nothing else for further expansion unless you're using water blocks which is possible what we also find down here is our amplified onboard audio so headphone amps I'm a big sort of advocate of using a properly amplified headphone output if you are using headphones especially ones with reasonably high impedance which is anything that's higher end and a fairly basic set of headphones so that is there we also have the onboard yes with dedicated RAM killer a 2100 NIC card and up here you find all kinds of like fascinating little chips most of which I don't know what they do here's a fresco logic there's our Marvell which I would say is probably powering raid but my guess would be that it's not and probably powering the eSATA got another Marvel chip over here okay that's a good stuff hey let's look at where all the fan headers are okay so we have our CPU fan header here you want to sort of back up a little bit for this part of it oh yeah you are good job ok CPU fan header here we've got another 4 pin fan header here another one here so that's three so far we've got another one here so that's four we've got another one here so that's 5 so we have 5 4 pin PWM fan headers on the g1 assassin 2 and let's have a look at what we've got in terms of rear i/o so we have a ps2 u ps2 keyboard mouse combo port 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 USB 2.0 ports an OC button that is a OneTouch overclock a BIOS selector switch that is very very handy and very cool to see we've also got a CMOS Clear button 2 eSATA ports so those are those esata/usb combo ports two USB 3.0 ports there's your killer 2100 networking and finally 7.1 audio out in optical audio out although the omission of a microphone in a dedicated microphone in port is a very strange one to me so what you guys can probably see here is that this is a little bit costed down compared to the original g1 assassin but they still have left along most of the features that I would say gamers would care about most gamers are not loading up their system with 128 gigs or 64 gigs of memory so that you've still got the four slots for quad-channel operation you've still got your full support for 3-way SLI or crossfire X you got your killer big foot networking you've got your headphone amp sound card that is built-in okay you know what bearing in mind okay I'm criticizing them on the mic part missing here but you can obviously use your front panel mic which is probably what they're expecting you to do now that I think about it a little bit more so yeah thank you for checking out my unboxing of the g1 assassin - don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from unboxings reviews another computer
