hey YouTube welcome back to Texas city's baronies gumma back to you guys today with an unboxing and review of the z87 G 45 gaming motherboards so this is the new LGA 1150 motherboards series so this is supporting the new Haswell CPU so straight away when you unbox the product this is what you get in the box so I won't spend too much time on the actual box things I want to look at the motherboard but you get the i/o shield you get a doorknob handle which says I'm sorry busy gaming which is pretty unique it's pretty I found it interesting you get two side of three cables you get the drivers utilities and you also get a in Japan yet a 12 month warranty I think it'll be different in different parts of the world you get a quick installation guide and the full user manual as well the also the box you know it comes it comes pretty bit neatly boxed I do like the look at this box rather here's the board itself it looks amazing so I'm gonna say this is one of the reasons why I've got this over this z87 extreme for you probably you guys are wondering why did you get the z87 extreme fall well this time around I decided to give MSA a chance because the red and black theme I mean usually you pay more money for it but this time around you are not and I mean you're not paying extra money for the red and black thing you're getting so much value packed on to this board it's not funny well from the spec sheet anyway I'm gonna do some tests later and see how it fares but let's have a look at the board first of all you get three PCI Express 16 of sorry you just get three PCI three Express ports this run runs at sixteen speed this one runs at eight speed and this one runs at full speed if you use Xfire it'll run an 8 speed for speed for speed if you're using SLI only two cards can be supported on SLI so you can only get eight speed and eight speed and that's I mean it's good that's good enough fruit I mean if you have a lot of money you're gonna spend a lot of money and get a better board anyway so you know the fact that ports SLI in eight speed eight speeds really good that's all you're going to need it especially two gtx 780 subhuman anyway this is comes with four PCI Express single speed ports so that's really good as well now the main thing I like about this board is you get the realtek ALC 1150 which is better than the realtek ALC 898 I'm assuming and so you're getting really good dax really good a TCS on board now not to mention this you get the audio boost here so this is the audio boost from MSI embezzler it's an app that gives you a clearer or a stronger output signal for your headphones and hopefully I'm going to test it after this review and hopefully you get a better input signal as well less noise and so I'll be testing that out with also with the microphone I'm using now and also the razor carcase headset microphone to give you guys an idea of how much noise and if this you know this is a great option for streamers for people who want to stream and stuff like that and they're on a budget this board hopefully it offers what you need now looking at the board itself the heatsink should get three heat sinks and they look amazing and they feel amazing as well so they're made of aluminium I think they you know they look good this one's huge here it's got the dragon on I like the theme it's actually not too fancy it's not too bright it's actually more of a maroon color than a red color in my opinion and looking at the board a little bit closer you get the eight phase power design here so this is apparently supports up to a 180 watts of an overclock which will be absolutely fine for house well I don't see myself needing more because especially since I like to run stable over clocks this thing should support a nice stable 24/7 I'm hoping for about four point six maybe four point eight so let's get on with that we'll have a look at that later in my house well review and overclocking as well so I get onto that later now if the system fans you get three system fans so you get one down the bottom here one at the right and one in the middle of the board for CPU fans you get two four pin headers there at the top so if you've got a h100 eye that you want to mount up the top your motherboard double your case you can do that and you can plug these into here so really good you get for ddr3 slots there and they support up to three gigahertz of an overclock and also 64 gigabytes of RAM total now the actual board itself is a full sized ATX board I'm going to say that with the z77 extreme 4 they did cut the size of the board down a little bit and a lot of people found it annoying this is a full sized motherboard as well so let's have a look now actually you get down the bottom here first lastly say that you get three USB 2 headers which gives you an extra 6 USB 2 ports and you also get six 6 SATA 3 ports as well so that will give you that'll be more than enough I mean only use for solder three ports at the moment so I've got another two if I want to do a raid zero or something crazy like that I can def we do it now also you get the USB 3 you get an extra USB 3 headed down here which gives you an extra 2 USB 3 ports you also get all your front panel audio front panel power and all that stuff as well so that comes on the board as well now that's about so your 8 pin 6 Patrick 8 pin CPU header is over here and everything just feels pretty well bit built I mean the board does feel pretty good so this time around I think MSI are really aiming to give you a board that is the value King and I think they've done it this time around with the g45 gaming so this is the board I chose to go with instead of the z87 extreme 4 and the one reason I'm gonna get onto this right now so the one reason I decided to go with this board I'll just focus in there for you guys the one reason I decided to go with this board over the z87 was that giving you the clear CMOS I really like this feature I loved it on the z77 I don't know why they took it away on the z80 says the 87 extreme for really good feature if you're overclocking is gonna save you so much goddamn time I'm serious you get a 4 USB 3 ports on the back of the board you also get a killer n IC so it's a it's a Qualcomm and it's I guess it's better than a real tech so if anything that they give you something it's better than real tech then it's pretty damn good in my opinion so you also get a ps2 slot as well which is great because I use a ps2 keyboard you get 2 USB ports now why would they just give you 2 USB to ports the think it's good to do with the initial installation with Windows 7 and stuff like that so you know definitely compatibility the USB 2 works so that's a good thing now you get the audio jacks there you get a lot of you know optical out as well which is really good use standard line out line in mic mic in as well so really good and surround sound options there you get a VGA port as well in a DVI port an HDMI port as well so very good there I like it they've given you all that and the clear CMOS button which is really really good as overall I'm gonna say that this board is looking like the new z7 it's not extreme for I'm gonna do some tests on it I'm gonna boot it up I'm going to overclock it tell you how good of an clocker it is I'm also going to test the onboard audio for you guys now and yeah it just looks amazing it does feel right well it does feel well-built and it is priced really well as well so that's a good good thing about this board it looks like the new value King so hopefully this is what it is and you guys probably wondering what board I went with and this is what I went with so this time around are giving MSI a chance as it looks like they're you know they're trying their best to get back into the market with an awesome board at a great price so hey guys let's move on to the tests alright guys so here is the z87 onboard amp for recording the audio so the actual audio coming out of the sound card or the on board or your solution didn't sound any different to my real tech LC 8 9 8 but the audio coming in I think it sounds pretty good I've played around a little bit if you set the recording volume to full and then a 10 decibel gain with all the effects turned off you'll get this sound that you're getting right now so this is just like cheaper click on clip-on microphone I use this for my reviews it's a very good microphone for the price as well obviously not as good as this condenser microphone but this is the onboard audio solution just straitly this microphone directly plugged into the motherboard so I think it's really good so it is a good solution now the onboard LAN controller the network interface card the ni C that is great as well like I'm using that already and it it does feel like it's very I don't know it just feels like a good card so it was downloading all my things blazingly fast so really good all so far this boards amazing I'm gonna get into the overclocks soon so I just thought I'd give you this review and say the board itself is solid it's stable it's a very nice board I can highly recommend it anyway let's do a quick quality test with the Razer carcase now so I'll give you guys a look at that okay here's a quick quality chest with the Rosaire Razer carcase microphones is the boom microphone that comes with the Razer car case so here it is now basically I will say one more thing okay so this is the razor carcase microphones is the boom microphone that comes with a pair of razor carcase headphones I don't think it's the best microphone in the world it's definitely actually it's probably not far from the worst but anyway it's his equality chest same settings a hundred volume recording input level with a +10 decibel gain I tried to I couldn't hear any noise when I tested the first time so hopefully there's not much noise in this either so I will say that it's definitely an improvement over the z77 extreme board onboard audio solution now another thing as well is that the audio coming out of the motherboard the actual audio out the Greenline out is does give a stronger signal as well so it is louder so basically in a nutshell what I'm trying to say is is that you guys if you buy this and you're looking to start streaming and getting into recording and stuff great solution is already put on board the z87 G 45 MSI motherboard now another thing is to as a UFE I UEFI BIOS the screen is great it's easy to use I'm I quickly got the hang of it I'm gonna get into it more though as I do I'm gonna do some more overclocks and get the for 670 k versus the three 570 k review done and I'll get that to you guys soon as well so check out that check out my unboxing of the for 670 K and I'll be doing the budget builds as soon as I can anyway guys if you enjoyed this review please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already subscribed take your city and I'll catch you guys back with some more has well anyway yes see bite
