2011-09-06
today I have a motherboard that stands out for one particular reason above all of the other ones and that is its unique color scheme I actually bought a sapphire pr7 atg board back in the day because I loved the color scheme so much for my micro ATX build and oh it looks like this one's not white oh it's just pure white branded okay well let's go over the basic features of it anyway and I wish they'd bring back the white PCB because I thought that was awesome but I'll settle for black PCB as you guys know I am a big fan of the black PCB on a motherboard so going back to the box here we have the AMD dual-core III 50 APU okay so that includes in the built into the CPU GPU APU thing built in 63 10 directx 11 graphics it supports hdmi DVI and vga out say 236 gigabit per second yes on a mini ITX motherboard up to eight gigs of memory and pci express 16x graphics lot is also included what else we got here does support ddr3 that's very good and look at this this outer and inner packaging is made with 100-percent recyclable paper thanks sapphire good on you all right let's have a look at what we've got in terms of accessories so we have to say 236 gigabit per second cables next we have an i/o shield finally we have an installation CD and a fueled by sapphire sticker then we have a pure white fusion III 50 quick installation guide with some pictures and some words and good stuff like that all right let's have a look at the layout of the board itself so we've bought the apu right here in the middle there's your e 350 so it's got a heatsink fan combo unit on it there's your cpu fan header in terms of other fan headers it looks like we've got one more for a power fat and then that's pretty much it this is a more value oriented board given it as mini ITX we've got our four pin power connector right down here and then our 24 pin power connector is located along the right-hand edge though unlike desktop boards I'm not sure that there is an ideal necessarily yeah ideal location for the power connectors we've got support for dual-channel ddr3 memory up to eight gigs at a time and then we have also hold on let me just make sure I'm not missing something up to tikis yeah we've also got for say 236 gigabit per second ports we've got our chipset right here so those are running off of the AMD chipset unlike most Intel boards where you can't have for say two three ports running off the chipset you can only have two at this time there's our front panel headers as well as our pcie 16x slot we've got two front USB headers we've also got a front audio header and moving along to the back of the board we have one two three four USB 2.0 ports vga DVI and HDMI out gigabit ethernet and 5.1 audio out so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the pure white fusion III 50 from sapphire don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from Ron boxing's reviews and other computer videos
