hey how you guys doing and welcome back once again to the tech of tomorrow YouTube channel I'm Ehlert ferris your host for today we're gonna bring you an unboxing and first features look at the new p8z 77v motherboard from the people over at Asus now this is their entry-level motherboard on the stack for the new z77 series this motherboard comes to market at about 205 dollars and has lots of great features one thing I just want to note before we jump into anything if you guys missed it check out a video that we did over on motherboards are we actually an interview with JJ from Asus and we went over all the different specs but for now let's jump in and let's take a closer look at this new motherboard from the people over at Asus alright folks like for every good unboxing we start off with hey a box stop right here and show you guys this PA z77 - V some of the features on there there's smart digi e pu + TP which we'll get to as we unbox the board obviously this board supports both SLI and crossfire and with the new virtue MVP you can use your video cards in any combination you want a lot of stuff down here Wi-Fi just it from the box stuff it around just real quick show you guys the back of the box for some deals maybe boring I know but other people like to see it so I'm gonna go ahead now and just set the box back down the table and begin the actual unboxing on top here we have the motherboard I'm gonna go ahead and pop the motherboard out of the package so we can actually see all of the content that comes in the box there's actually a lot of good content on there gonna have a nice little box toss here whoo alright cool so I'm gonna start off with this is a little why five to go every one of the motherboards and Asian's new stack for the z77 includes Wi-Fi to go now this is a really cool feature this allows you to actually transfer all of your files and operate from one PC to another so you can actually take all the music for one PC or a movie and play it onto your laptop in another room it's really cool stuff that's piece number one then we've got two SATA cables go ahead and set those down we have the rear i/o here our Quick Connect these go from all your wiring from your case onto your motherboard make it nice and simple to connect everything then we have the crossfire cable here's the wireless antenna this goes that little Wi-Fi to go thing is the internet helps you pick up all your signals set that down this is the Wi-Fi to go fan expert to network control USB charger fan expert to is a really cool feature allows you to custom control all of your fans in real time whether in the BIOS or in the windows operation network I control this is a new feature that features on the Intel network LAN that allows you to custom configure 8 all your land features you can pry ties it USB charger 3 allows you to quickly charge all of your stuff through the usb on the motherboard or through your case if you hook it up that way set that up and give lots of good explanations they're just version 1.4 3d HDMI you guys know that HDMI provides both video and audio signals then once again we have a Wi-Fi to go card there's a little card we showed you this is the installation guide the users manual and obviously insider should be the driver CD voila we have the driver CD and the case badge right there this would be the bundles page and a review or they content now let's move out of the motherboard and go ahead and pop this thing out go ahead and set this down off the bat you guys can see this is a standard ATX form factor motherboard and I'm gonna do this little different than I do most motherboard reviews I'm gonna start out with the rear i/o this time pretty some little different here we see a combination port this is legacy keyboard and mouse remember this is the entry-level motherboard of the new asus line so this board has legacy ports it also features a standard VGA port now before I thought this is what cheap way to do it but actually this is part of a pack a pack is for all the Asian countries and for those countries that want to meet the apex standard you have to have one of these because those people still have those type of monitors here we have the USB 3.0 these USB 3.0 ports actually contain higher wattage on them for charging your device's previous generations only allowed you to charge Apple stuff new generation stuff allows you to charge PC and Apple stuff we've got a couple standard USB ports next to that we have display port HDMI digital audio DVI another set USB 3.0 this is the onboard intel lan which features the eye control and then our analogue audio inputs right there so did some different their starter REO but it flipped the board around we're gonna start talking about fan headers this is entry a little bored it has five fan headers in the board the first two are located up here above the ZIF socket this is a perfect location for those because when you hook your fan up right there you can easily hook your connections up right there so you don't have wires just strung out all over your case so there's two here there's an additional one right here another additional one right here right here lots of fan headers there set the board back over here let's talk about power here we have the eight pin power connector locate the left and above the ZIF socket then we have our 24-pin power located over here and it bounced back over to the ZIF socket this is still LGA 1155 but it supports both Sandy Bridge and the new coming 22 nanometer Ivy Bridge processors these will be out on the 23rd which is next Monday I'm gonna flip the board around show you guys memory here we take a look at the memory slots you can see that they are color coded so you know it's channel that they're in this board supports up to 32 gigabytes of ddr3 memory so brought over here right here we see the mem okay button now the mem okay button has actually a couple of different features the mem ok button can be used to view set memory near board and it's just clocked too high you hit the mem ok button it actually makes your motherboard go but something that people don't often realize is that this button also allows in the overclocking environment just go ahead and hit this button to clear settings so you wouldn't have to go back and reset everything in your BIOS this will just clear those settings you'd still maintain all the other settings other than the overclocking ones it's pretty good then we have the digi+ vram a lot of people asked what this is digital controller means that you can operate your UEFI bios the same way inside of the Windows environment so what you've been doing your BIOS you can do in the Windows environment there are actually two switches on here also the epu and the TPU these two switches right here are your EPU & TPU switches now a lot of people just want a simple answer okay the TPU basically is an instant overclock button you want to have superior overclocking you just click that button on and away you go now if your user you use the board in standard mode and you just want to save electricity then you want to use the EPU switch pretty cool stuff next let's talk about USB headers external ones that is here on the bottom we can see 1 2 3 4 USB connectors now these connectors also have superior ESD there are little chips behind each one of these that allow for an anti-static discharge to not happen now some people in the past have actually plugged devised into their USB ports and fried their device by having static electricity this board features superior ESD and if that happens in this board it has an off switch that does not allow the current to go onto the motherboard and fry it I think this is a very very good feature and one that gets looked over quite a bit here is another header this is the USB 3.0 header now let's talk about the cooling on this motherboard you can see that all the MOSFETs and everything are completely covered up here and down here as well it's all passive cooling but it should work pretty well that doing that Ivy Bridge isn't gonna be a super duper hot solution as it is let's move over now let's take a look at your PCI expandability now this motherboard has 1/2 of the PCI x 1 slots we see two standard PCI slots and then we see 1 2 3 PCIe slots the PCI slots are actually separated by this this is a 16 slot this is an 8 slot and this is a 4 slot if you run the cards and crossfire SLI mode these will be both times 8 if you use the virtue you'll be using either these cards in that or you can actually use the card with the embedded solution of the HD 4000 new Ivy Bridge processor lots of good stuff there let's flip it over now let's talk about SATA expandability we have a couple different controllers on this board we have both the intel and the as media solution on this motherboard we have both support for standard SATA and the new SATA 3 connectivity last but not least I'll just flip it around let you guys see at the back of the board these things right here actually help keep the board even when even cooler and that's really about it folks so hey thanks for watching folks this has been the unboxing and first features look of the new p8 z77 - V motherboard come to the market about two hundred and five dollars should be available everywhere next week see you later
