people over at a Zeus now this is a pretty cool product this is the p8v 77v pro motherboard now they have three motherboards that are in their basic stack it's the entry-level v the pro and then the deluxe this is the mid-level board we're gonna be doing that right now so let's check this bad boy out all right folks so first off let's just take a look at the outside of the box we see some of their features take a look down here we see some more these are some of the things that are actually specific to this motherboard probably specific to all of the boards that are coming out on this stack virtue MVP great thing for graphics we'll get in that we unbox the board flip it around real quick to show you guys the back to the board dual intelligent processors via the e pu + TPU switches USB BIOS flash back now this USB BIOS flash back is something I think is actually really cool with this you can actually flash the BIOS is remember without having any parts on it whatsoever all you have to do is plug in the 24 pin power connector slap this thing in the USB port and a way you can go to up your motherboard BIOS I think this is a really cool to be able to flash it this way Wi-Fi to go allows you to control this computer or another computer back and forth so you can like be in the kitchen on one computer and play your music or videos completely controllable on another computer in another room really cool stuff lucid logic virtue MVP this allows you to use any combination of video cards be it crossfire SLI or in combination with the onboard graphics of the new HD 4000 fan expert - this allows you to totally control all of your fans customize them you can name them what you want do whatever you want we actually have a video about that over on motherboards or if you want to check that out now it's actually getting to the unboxing I'll pop the cap so here's we open the box we can see the motherboard it's in a nice anti-static bag we're going to go ahead and just pull that out to the side wait and look at all of the content on the motherboard someone's gonna pull it aside do one piece at a time we'll start out with these two pieces right here this is the Wi-Fi go all of the motherboards and asia's is a stack and the new z77 launched have Wi-Fi on every single motherboard all the way up plus they have the same features for overclocking as well so you're not getting a sacrifice and any board in the stack for overclocking it's just other specific features just go ahead and pop that off to the side two SATA cables once a two three or one SATA to go ahead and set those down here is the external breakout box let me go with this folks come short you just pull this completely out of the package for you guys so here is a little breakout thing with eSATA and USB on this go ahead and just set that down move on we have one crossfire cable go ahead and just set that down the rear i/o this Rio is completely really well done everything is nice and clean on it let you go folks see that all right we'll continue to move on all our Q Quick Connect little connectors right here just for hooking up everything really quickly inside your case cool stuff set that down we have the PA z77 v Pro user's guide and manual right here and then finally the CD and case badge so all this stuff you see on the table right here this would be the content or a bundle depending on what reviewer looking at that's right there now I'm going to get that out of your way folks we can move on and see the motherboard itself so okay here we have the motherboard units and the aesthetic bag I'm gonna go ahead and hold them to the board out I'm gonna go ahead and turn the board over and we're going to start on the rear i/o now this particular rear i/o it's not much different all than we saw on the standard V board the big difference comes when we go to the deluxe board on this board we still see combination legacy ps2 in keyboard/mouse we have two four USB 3.0 connectors on the back of the board standard USB 2.0 there for our video connections we have display port HDMI DVI standard VGA we also have optical sound here over here we have the analog sound connectors this board features the realtek chipset right here is our rj45 LAN this is the Intel LAN port it works with the new eye control which allows you to custom set your packet values so if you want it for game you want for downloading videos you can custom set up those perimeters in your liking so let's flip the board around let you guys get a good look at the front of the board right here now one of the very first question that people are going to ask you they're gonna ask you hey what's doing between the Pro and the entry-level board well the pro board it has more USB ports has more USB 3.0 ports so if you have a need for a lot of USB 3.0 ports that's one of the biggest changes between the pro and the standard board that you get entry-level let's start out at the very top of the board and let's start off with power here we see the first eight pin power connector located right here to the left of the ZIF socket the 24 pin power is located over here on the right-hand side of the motherboard another difference between the Pro and the V motherboard is that this motherboard has six fan controllers on it the other one before had five this one has six the first two being located here above the ZIF socket which is perfect for perfect connectivity there additional two over here to the right side by the 24 pin power connector we have another one over here down and below to the left of the ZIF socket and then we have our six one being located down here at the bottom of the motherboard this is the LGA 1155 ZIF socket it's for all of the new second and third generation core CPUs from Intel it'll fit all of the Sandy Bridge and all the Ivy Bridge processors that will soon be coming out for cooling everything is completely cooled passively you can see all the MOSFETs and components everything is nice and completely cooled up as well down here the dual intelligent processors are both DEP you and TPU here's our memory this board can use up to 32 gigabytes of ddr3 memory right over here is the men ok button or men to go button I'm gonna bring that around so they Camryn get a little closed up right there little buttons located right here you click that button so say that you get some memory and that your motherboard doesn't quite recognize it you put it in there it's to high speed or something you click the mem ok button and it makes go makes your system boot-up and use that memory also if you're overclocking and you don't want to have to go and reset your entire BIOS you can just click this button and just clear those particulars settings so spin the board around again let's start off now with the PCI support we have one two PCI times one lanes and then we have one two three PCIe lanes now these will be running at sixteen eight and four or eight eight and four also to standard PCIe slots as well now as far as SATA support goes this motherboard has both the Intel and as media controllers on it it supports both the state of - and SATA 3 standards now let's talk about additional USB support we have one two three four additional USB 2.0 breakouts and northmet separates this board once again from the V is USB 3.0 there's one here and an additional one right here so if you had a case that had the USB connectors on the front and had the cable you could just put that 20 pin cable right in there and away you go pretty good stuff now let's talk about the EPU and TPU switches those are located right down here JJ from a zoo said the basely you can subscribe the TPU is if you want an instant 4.3 overclock all you do is hit the TPU button and away you go now the epu button that is based for people who want to have their system running at standard mode would like to save electricity and save on power then you use the EP you switch that's what that's for so once again let's take a whole shot of the motherboard you can see it's based on the standard ATX form factor fit any mid size or bigger case won't fit in a mini case obviously still suitable spin around show you guys the back so that's it folks thanks for watching the unboxing and first features look to the new hey-zeus p8z 77v pro peace
