today's video is made possible by eighty data there xpg line of SSDs brings ultra fast performance in both 2.5 inch and M SATA form factors to perfectly suit to upgrade needs for more info check out the link below what's going on Tech fans welcome back to tech tomorrow for another day of tech we're here at the Sun squared media offices to film you guys a brand new video of the ASUS Maximus 6 formula motherboard that's right this is all based on the new has welled platform it's got all kinds of killer features rog is for the gamers and let's see what comes inside this box i think you guys are gonna really like this motherboard all right folks we'll start out real quick just taking a look at the box we see the front cover here we got three public of gamers then we have the Maximus six formula motherboard designed for gamers you can see it's the z87 chipset supports both SLI and crossfire and the onboard graphics will do 4k not very well but they'll do it now some of the engines and things about this motherboard will open it up is this thing can use air or water cooling depending on what you're gonna do they feature rog armor on the back of the motherboard to make sure that you don't cut your hands up or cause any static problems right here you see the cross chill the cross chill will allow you to use both water cooling or air cooling depending on what you want to do if you want to use your water cooler you can actually hook it up directly to this motherboard now as far as the audio this thing has advanced supreme effects and one thing about it is it's segregated Audio gets a lot of noise on motherboards because of the fact that the sound is not segregated from motherboard so you get electronic noise going through with the way these guys have segregated you get none of that they're actually using supreme Elnett premium audio capacitors and like I said before the shielding which helps they also use extremely good headphone op amps so if you want to listen to headphones or high-end headphones you'll be able to do that just a lot of good stuff on that I'm not going to reiterate too much because we're gonna jump in that we look at the board they also have a new MPC I combo to it'll work with M SATA and it'll work with the new configuration that's coming out which is replacements which we'll talk about when we get into the board here you guys can see the board inside of its nice plastic case showing it off I'm just gonna flip it around roll back and show you guys the back of the box just shows the nomenclature again the cross chill advance supreme FX their extreme engine digi+ - which helps teach your motherboard running cool and quiet as the electricity is well-conditioned going to the motherboard and then once again they're gonna cover the M PCI combo - with that said though let's actually jump in and see a look at the board the only other thing I do want to talk about is this right here if some people are looking to buy the board this is actually the product SKU for it and so with that said let's jump in and let's start checking out this board I'm gonna go ahead on the bottom right here there's a little tab right here going to go ahead and I think I'll use the top one actually think of a little more flexible but the bench opened a couple times pop the cap right there there's two boxes that come inside of here one is the motherboard box itself and then the other is the accessory box which is right here I'm gonna go ahead and start off by doing the accessories first just make it a lot simpler now inside of here start off we have the motherboard user's guide it has all the information about the motherboard inside of it make sure you read it if you're unfamiliar with the board the driver CD and all your utilities like all of the different special features and all the soft board that has to do with a system of the boards will be on this so you guys want install that stuff that'll be there you also have SATA cable labels so sometimes in your hooking up your SATA connection and stuff it gets confusing where your hard drives and stuff are you can mark them with this that way if you want to do any hot plug-and-play stuff you can know where it's at don't get confused you let's go hey that's my drive pull it and replace it I've got a little door hanger right here do not disturb champion in action I put this on my door whenever I'm making clothes champion and actually just saying so you know and right here it says enter and champion to break so what I'm taking a break I'll put that on there next up we have this little combination thing right here this is both your Wi-Fi your M SATA and your new n GFF I'm gonna try to get this up close to the camera now ng FF is going to replace M say to next year and so this will become widely available so this is three things and one it's that V M SATA and it's the Wi-Fi all-in-one little accessory just plugs right and your board simply enough and you get all that stuff on it go ahead and just move past that set that off to the side we have the rear shielded i/o it actually has like little foamy stuff inside of here to protect from electrostatic discharge and everything's clearly marked in it so when you put in the back of your motherboard you'll be able to clearly see where everything goes and how you can access it no problem at all next up is the a Zeus two and one Quick Connect those are these right here don't need to take them out of the bag I'm not gonna use those quite yet then we have what they call the dual band Wi-Fi moving in ten I'll go ahead and just take this out so you guys can check this and see it rip the plastic on that particular ones you guys can see that it's this little antenna plugs into those two little plugs we showed you earlier on this so once it's installed they connect to this and you got a little external antenna that you can use right here which pops open you can see a little tab but it's a got some plastic stuff on here so but this is basically it it's your antenna you have different ways you can do it it'll lay flat stand up sideways or stand straight up depending on how you want it to be see you move it around do different things with it just depending on what you want to do that goes with that then we have the SLI connector right there a little nvidia logo on the inside of there then last but not least we have four of the SATA 6 gigabits per second cables and that's pretty much it as far as the accessories go alright folks so here you guys can see the Maximus 6 formula motherboard now this thing is even more badass than I even thought it was going to be this thing has the same kind of bitchin armor that we've seen on their saber tooth boards but now we're seeing it move over to the ROG now some of the main things about the board are that you have eight separate fan connectors on the board starting up on top moving all the way around there's eight separate fan connectors also on the top of the board right here you can see this connection right here this is for your combo M SATA and Wireless next to that you see the first of the easy connect ports there's the eight pin and the four pin and then all the way down at the bottom the board I'm going to swing down you see the last of the easy connects this one on the bottom is actually a molex one now right across the top up here we're gonna see the mem okay button now the mem okay button is when you put extremely high in memory in your system and it won't boot you hold the memo k button down and it'll allow the system to boot finding the correct settings that will allow that memory to post in your system as we roll down along the board we see all these hot spots right here these are hooking up for your multimeter and stuff so that you can check out all the power points on your motherboard here we have the Q LED code this will show you different codes on the motherboard upon your boot telling if there's any type of problems in the manual give a series of numbers that Co relate to this which will tell you what the problem is next that we have the start button then the reset button and an another chassis fan then down below that we have the 24 pin power connector now here's the LGA 1155 socket now in this little socket area it is kind of smaller than some I've seen but obviously a Zeus has done their homework because they're not going to make a board that you're not going to be able to use aftermarket cooling on now the wrong cooling let's actually talk about that right here you guys can see if I pull these off are two areas to connect a water cooler to your system so you don't have to do this but if you want a water cooler system you can actually integrate this board into it all of your high-quality components in everything are actually covered by the tough cover so you can't really see them very well on the motherboard here to the right is the memory now this is pretty incredible you can use 32 gigabytes of ddr3 up to 3,000 megahertz that's right 3,000 megahertz is what they're trying to push right now I know what XMP profiles that 2800 megahertz is posting but I have not yet to get my hands on her try memory of extraordinary speeds like that coming down the board right here we see the USB 3.0 connector then we have our little hazers thing down here covering some other components as we go up here right on e through CPU goes you guys can see we have the Asus Republic of gamers now this is gonna light up and Allred making your motherboard look even more bitchin now we're going to flip over here here are two more of the fan connectors then we have one two three PCI 1x connectors PCI one is 16 8 PCI 2 is 8 4 and PCI 3 is just 4 I'm gonna flip the motherboard around we're gonna take a look right here here all the SATA connectors now this is why I do actually have a problem with this so JJ if you listen to this video dude I'm going to tell you I think this is quack these controllers on here are Intel and as media but they're all colored the same now I know you guys have included those stickers on there but it would've been a lot nicer to actually know which controllers are which just by looking at it like usually the Intel ones will be black and the as media ones will be red now they've just colored everything red so these six right here are Intel these two right here though are the as media I'm gonna flip the board back around again and right here on the side right here we have the quick boot feature and this allows the system to boot directly into Windows over passing a lot of the BIOS things that get checked now as we swing down further we see the direct key what the direct key allows you to do is if you hit this key your motherboard will boot up and when it reboots back up it'll go directly into the BIOS so if you're sitting doing testing or whatever and you don't want to mess with pushing the button you just hit this button first before you restart and then it goes automatically into the BIOS no problems at all now down there on the bottom of the board these are were all the connections from your case and everything hook up so you take all those wires for you know your LED hard drive start all that they're all located right here then we have USB 2.0 and then we have a rogue external connector now the rog external connector allows you to hook up this little thing and overclock your system without even going into the bios whatsoever you hook up the rock extension look at that little bad-boy overclock and then have your system go it's pretty cool I have them from another motherboard maybe I'll even hook it up and I do my overclocking but for what we do it at my house we don't get into ln2 so we don't get too crazy so we go down here we have the I our header chassis x' fan like I said before this is the easy plug down here on the bottom this is a molex easy plug you want to probably just go ahead and plug that in if you want to have extremely powerful to your motherboard if you want extra power and all that stuff you can go ahead and hook that up and it's post a lot of the motherboard to run a little bit better down next to that we have the s/pdif out now on the rear i/o you're going to have the Philips s/pdif but this is actually for a coax connector so if you want to use a coax connector you'd hook that up and put it to the back of your system now before the row though I want to turn this board over to the back I really like this a lot I know all of you guys really like this a lot on this part is you guys are doing a badass thing here mixing the sabre-tooth boards features onto this board I really got to say I'm impressed I love this I love this I love this I just do and I know you will too now let's flip it around let's take a look at through our i/o we have CMOS reset rog connect then we have three USB 2.0 connectors and on the bottom of that we have the rod connect next to that we have four USB 3.0 Philips s/pdif out hdmi displayport LAN two more USB 3.0 ports and then we have audio now this audio can be flavored in two four six or eight channel depending on how you want to do it and you can Duke it up either digitally or analogue depending on your choice so there you guys have it you guys can see that this new rog motherboard has all kinds of features on it whether you're looking for extensive audio overclocking water cooling it's all covered on the Maximus six formula motherboard like usual if you guys are looking to purchase this board down to the like button the description will be all the information about that stuff and if you're not subscribed to the channel hey make sure you hit that button back over here this next week I'm going to throw this motherboard in the test station run all the tests and then I'll bring you guys the full review next week of this great product keep evil over it I'm Network
