my coverage of CES 2018 from Las Vegas Nevada is brought to you by Coolermaster enter max ocz Toshiba and deep cool all right guys I'm over at Caesars and we're visiting gigabytes they have quite a few things on display actually a lot of the stuff has already been released but I think I have a motherboard right here that you might be interested in if you watched my AMD video you know that Rison 2 is coming coming very soon in April so here I have the very first X 470 motherboard that I have laid hands upon so let's take a closer look so here it is and this is the Auris gaming 7 y 5 this is gonna be more towards the high end of the gigabyte or as offerings when it comes to this particular platform still using the same AM for socket so still backwards compatible with the original rise in the lineup of processors such as the 1800 X and the r5 1600 but the 2000 series the rise in twos coming in April we'll also be able to slot right into this motherboard now what we're not 100% sure of yet is what the performance difference is going to be if at all when it comes to the raw CPU performance will hopefully find out more about that as we get closer to launch but that aside we can see a very nice set of features with this motherboard first off when it comes to power delivery especially for overclocking we're hoping and expecting that the risings you processor since they're going to be on a 12 nanometer process instead of 40 nanometer might be better overclockers and of course you're going to need to provide plenty of juice for that so you'll notice a very thin dense array here of actual fins with heat sinks below them to allow air to pass through them for optimal heat dissipation this is the type of thin array for cooling of VRMs that we've kind of been missing for a while but it's good to see that it's coming back as overclocking I don't want to say maintains or becomes more popular but this motherboard has a 10 plus 2 phase power delivery configuration their IR or international rectifier power delivery components they're using in there it's got a 8 pin and a 4 pin supplemental CPU power connector we can see if Chris IR for standard DIMM slots for ddr4 memory and then in the upper rates you have a few extra little buttons and stuff there is an RGB W header for connecting up your LED lights you get an OC button to access some of the OC functions and you also have a Messer found a reset button there as well looking down just below that we have a couple switches one is to switch between BIOS a and BIOS Padilla the other is to switch between single BIOS and dual BIOS mode we get a debug led you can see a group of 4 pin PWM fan control or frame connectors right there as well there's a USB 3.1 gen2 connector on there the updated version so that's always nice to have and then down in the bottom right you can see our SATA ports 6 of them are is the standard here and one of them is kind of busted this is a this is a sample motherboard and it's been manhandled quite a bit from what we can tell so there are a couple aesthetic problems such as some of the fins on the heat sink if snapped off up there in the top right as well as of course that SATA port but don't worry if you actually get one of these motherboards it's not gonna not gonna have those issues they have bumped you up to an additional MDOT 2 slot so you can see one that's up there both the top GPU slaughter by 16 PCI Express slot and then you've got another one further down top one looks like you go up to 110 lengths and this one is a standard 20 to 80 they both have some beefy looking heat sinks on there to provide some additional heat dissipation for your MDOT 2 drives and then down at the bottom we can see pretty standard configuration and layout for front panel connectors USB and all that good stuff on the back of the board we have a sort of a backplate a quarter backplate a quarter backplate I think I just made a football reference I don't know what the heck's going on but it's got a bit of an orange accent on there and I'm guessing provides a little bit of added protection for the bottom of the motherboard and then finally for IO here we have a permanently attached IO shield and these are becoming more and more popular and more and more coming and I really like it it's got a bit of a reflective finish on there and then since this is the Wi-Fi version we got a couple of connection points there for Wi-Fi antenna it's got an Intel Wi-Fi card in there there are our surface mounted power and BIOS reset buttons here at the back I really like those as a feature on a motherboard my my top 5 motherboard features video that's one of the things that pointed out now we've also got a fair amounts of a USB we got a USB 3.1 gen2 and then we also have these yellow ports and those are specifically made for connecting up external Dax they have very clean power going to them to prevent any interference say finally you got your standard i/o for audio and an optical Toslink out and that's pretty much wraps it up but guys that's gonna wrap it up for this video and my first ever look at the new generation of motherboards for AMD risin and risin two processors again coming out in April and gigabyte said that they're going to match AMD's launch so when AMD launches rising 2 gigabyte will also launch the new series of motherboards and of course there's going to be other other x4 70 motherboards besides just this one but guys thank you so much for watching this video hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and of course a final thank you to my sponsors for CES 2018 ocz toshiba deep cool cooler master and enter max thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
