so it's finally time to review one of the three products that I recently put in my budget bill and that is the gigabyte be 85m ds3 H welcome back to take it city this is the rain easy coming back to you guys today with a review of the B 85m ds3 H from gigabyte now this motherboard is recently become very popular and the main reason for that is because gigabyte have released a UEFI bios which allows you to overclock overclockable para Haswell CPUs however although this board will allow you to overclock a46 70k at 4690k for 770 km 4790k it mainly comes with the I mean the main you extract the most value for money out of this motherboard when you couple it with a 30 to 58 and there's a few reasons for this the first reason is that the motherboard itself actually has a voltage limit of 1.2 volts and the second reason for this is that at that 1.2 voltage limit you can safely use the stock heatsink with a 32:58 and so it's kind of like you're getting the best of both weally extracting the best value for money out of both products when you couple them together so anyway let's look at the motherboard itself today we're just going to be looking at the motherboard itself I'll be talking about the experience that I had with this motherboard I'll be talking about the features of this motherboard and giving giving this thing an overall huge high recommendation so let's get on with it so when we look at the motherboard itself it comes packaged just like any other motherboard I mean it comes packaged pretty well it could take a beading and shipping it comes with two side of three cables it also comes with an input/output shield and it also comes with a user manual which is actually very easy to read now picking up this motherboard for the first time I was impressed it's been a while since I've had a gigabyte motherboard come through here and honestly when I picked it up it was just like yeah you're getting that solid gigabyte feel even with a budget motherboard like the B 85 and if the motherboard still feels solid all the solder connections feel solid the RAM slot everything just feels solid and well built with the gigabyte motherboard also the black on the front and the rear looks really good as well it's a nice jet black if you guys are thinking about it's not a brown if you guys are worried about that also let's look at the motherboard itself and what it features looking at the main part itself it looks like it features a four to phase power design it actually doesn't say on the specs spec sheet but that's what I believe it is this is ample fine if you're going to overclock a 32:58 now you also this motherboard you get a two four pin CPU connectors so we'll it will give a more solid power delivery than a H 81 and motherboard otherwise would so keep that in mind this is the main reason why I'm recommending this motherboard over H 81 MSI just believe it's a more solid motherboard it's a more stable motherboard for the job now also with this motherboard as well you're getting four Ram slots as well which supports up to 32 gigabytes of RAM so it does give you a bit of upgrade ability if you want to put in say in the future if you want to put 16 gigabytes of RAM in and put in a 4 770 K or something like that this motherboard will allow you to do that which is actually really impressive now another impressive feature about this motherboard is it features dual BIOS as well so you're getting a dual BIOS on a 55 while I paid $55 for a $55 motherboard which is really damn impressive in my opinion like I was surprised because if you guys are doing it if you're flashing the BIOS and in some freak accident happens like the power cuts out while you're flashing a BIOS if you only have a single boss on board essentially your motherboard will be bricked if you have the dual blast you can recover the boss that you had before and you can try and flash it again so I do like the dual blast implementation especially on $55 motherboard now looking at the heatsink itself is got a heatsink on the South Bridge it doesn't feature a heatsink on the North Bridge which is unfortunate but again due to the price I really can't say that is a negative because I can't expect them to put so many things in on a budget motherboard looking at the features of the motherboard itself it has fair support for for front panel USB connections as support also for two front panel USB 3 connections it also has front audio out panel there for your power pins as well your normal things now looking at the rear of the motherboard you get four USB to ports you also get two USB 3 ports on the rear ps2 port HDMI out a Realtek ni C which is probably the only thing I would protect about this motherboard however again with the price in mind I can't expect them to put a more expensive in a/c on board you also get the real tech alc889a mean considering it comes with a 55 dollar motherboard very decent for the money I mean I tested this with my headphones it sounds pretty decent I mean I tested the microphone as well it's also got support for noise removal so if you're playing video games you can just hit that noise removal and you're good to go so we've done the actual review now of the product let's talk about the BIOS and look what you get so as soon as you get this motherboard you essentially can couple it and it will work with a 32 58 regardless of how old the boss is I'm not sure about the 4690k and for 790 K so if you're going to get that CPU and coupled with this motherboard which I I mean it's not that high of a recommendation due to the 1.5 1.2 volt women but if you're going to do that then please research it may need the bass update before you put those CPUs in with this motherboard however this model this CPU will work straight out of the box with any bias implementation on this motherboard however as soon as you get this motherboard you will want to update the BIOS and that is because that'll allow you to overclock the 32:58 so once you do that essentially you can pretty much put the voltage up to 1.2 volts which is how I'd recommend overclocking this thing put it up to 1.2 volts and then see how high of a clock speed you can get with your CPU the 32:58 there's also some other things you may want to do I raise the T TDP limit as well the max wattage limit just so it didn't become an object in overclocking this thing now you're probably wondering why is there a 1.2 volt limit on the B 85 and I believe that's just simply to protect the motherboard and also to protect you the users from frying the motherboard because if you fry a motherboard you have the potential to damage not just the motherboard but pretty much every component in your system so keep that in mind I do agree with the 1.2 volt limit I do believe it's a good safety measure put in place set especially when we consider that these motherboards were never in tended for overclocking so I like the fact that this motherboard does overclock this CPU and it does overclock it very well I mean I ran a 24 hour stress test on UniGene Valley and also ran a two-hour stress test on prime95 in the dead heat of summer we're talking 30 degrees plus this multiple dis C for you they held up absolutely fine so I was pretty much blown away by how good the value-for-money was when you look at this motherboard it handled this Pentium absolutely fine now another thing you guys are probably wondering well why did you just use the heatsink so when I fetch and when I talked about my build in my blog a few few days ago I was talking about mean just using the stock heatsink fan with a 32:58 and again the big reason for that is the 1.2 volt limit on this motherboard I will I probably will be putting it in my z87 motherboard and seeing how high it goes if you guys want to see it on my Fri it who knows make a good video on that but in the meantime the 1.2 volt limit means that essentially this CPU will be fine with the stock heatsink fan because if it can't go over 1.2 volt and it's hitting 90 degrees max in the dead heat of summer on prime95 then there is no need to get an aftermarket heat sink fan with this CPU that's just my opinion if it had a 1.3 volt limit then yeah you might be able to get it to 4.6 gig 4.5 gig and then you might need that aftermarket CPU cooler but with the 1.2 volt limit on this motherboard 4.2 gigs and the stock heatsink it's such good synergy such good value for money you can save that extra money put it towards a GTX 760 or 750ti RS r9 270 whichever you want to go with and it will make for one hell of a gaming machine now these two in closing I'm going to talk about these two together they are really good they I mean honestly this is like one of the best value for money motherboards I have seen in a long time it just handles the Pentium 32:58 so well handles the motherboard I mean handles the GTX 760 so well it doesn't get hot just absolutely phenomenal experience this motherboard I can highly recommend $55 if you are thinking about getting with the 32:58 I am going to be bringing out an overclocking 32:58 guide for this motherboard as well so stay tuned for that okay so before I go and edit this video for you guys I will add one more point and that is that the B 85m actually can enter the c 1e enhanced hold site on the CPU even though it does say that the voltage is fixed at 1.2 volts when I overclocked it I actually checked with a kilowatt meter and the wattage or the power consumption was running exactly pretty much identically the same as when it was on the auto settings and the voltage was scaling down to 0.7 volts so I don't know about other brands like the Zeus H 81m watt the msi but the gigabyte b85 this motherboard does indeed allow the cpu to enter the seeonee enhanced whole state when you overclock it even though it says that the CPU is still running at 1.2 volts I thought that was pretty cool anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this review if you did please give it a thumbs up and I will catch you guys very soon with the Pentium 32:58 review if you have any questions please leave a comment in the comment section below and I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can and yeah can't wait to give you guys the video on the 32:58 anyway piece it up now this is grainy bike
