hey what's going out there fellow tech fans it's me Elric Faris your host here in the tech of the morrow youtube channel getting ready for the ivy bridge launch which is slowly starting to creep up on us just to let you guys know very soon here we'll be able to show scores with first the Sandy Bridge and then eventually we will move on to Ivy Bridge back here behind me I've got a major stack of boards this is pre launch including the one I'm unboxing today and I think I'm getting like about actually ten more so I'm gonna be like swamped and work for this launch so one of the biggest launches of all time that said we're gonna bring you one of our first series of unboxings here on TECA tomorrow today we're gonna look at the TZ 77 xe4 now this is bio stars version of the board you guys know bio star there t power series t power series boards are geared for the overclocker there have been some preliminary tests re leaked which showed this board to actually be right in the middle of all the boards that are being released so that's pretty good stuff because their guys's prices are entry level and it's competing mid level not bad so let's see what comes in this little box right here so here we go we got the front of box get the camera to zoom in there get that nice and close-up citizen or smart overclocking smart over voltage smart power savings got the big t overclockers series on here thx audio this thing also has really cool graphics features on it too which a lot of people may like maybe they won't I think it's gonna be really cool I'm gonna go ahead just flip it around show you guys the back of the box if you're gonna be looking to buy this online or whatever you can see right here here's all the nomenclature code I'll actually hold them to the Cameron so we can zoom and then get that real close up so like all unboxing will go ahead and pop the cap and begin the unboxing rock the back we've got the BIOS star installation guide there driver CD and manual it's also on here toss that on the side we've got one two three four sets of SATA cables right here all these are the new SATA 3 we have a crossfire connector right here we have the rear i/o and these guys are learning it kind of hard to see I'll tell you this up here what they're actually putting everything on the rear i/o so you can see display for it HDMI great graphics features going to set that off the side and we get crossfire bridge sli bridge all that good stuff so we've got to the heart of the matter let's dig in and take a look at some motherboard nice any static plastic wrapper there you board out now start off to go to the board nice color features a little bit kind of Halloweeny but then not it's kind of weird so it's orange and I think it's one key burnt orange color this right here you guys can see very similar to the sniper motherboard series that's used by gigabyte I believe it actually do some redesigning and other models that are coming out you can see there's plenty of room though around the ZIF socket right here for your CPU needs almost aftermarket coolers got your memory all right here and I'm sorry folks I know a lot of you are gonna fixed I'm not talking about features I cannot talk about features I can only do the unboxing and show you guys basic stuff I apologize for that I can't even tell you how much memory goes in it here is the 24 pin power the additional 8 pin power CPU fan right here on top right above the CPU good placement for that not too crowded at all we have one two three PCIe lanes to standard PCI lanes and a single 1 X PCI la see that little mixer you know all the new let's old-school PCI and your PCIe I'll mix in on one board you can see it's cooled over here this is a passive there's no active cooling on this whatsoever right here's their new sound solution this is called pure tone 110 DB T 7.1 HD audio I can talk about that at least cuz that's just standard stuff here right here all your reset buttons on reset clear your CMOS where you connect all the stuff to your case to your motherboard flip it around the side one two three four SATA connectors so there's eight altogether flips around show you guys the rear i/o very interesting rear i/o some legacy stuff USB 2.0 hdmi displayport DVI standard little vga powered eSATA USB three more USB the LAN the 7.1 now one thing that tripped me out about the audio on here is that I know that when you're using the HDMI or you're using DisplayPort you can get the sound coming through it but you were thought for people who aren't using that they would have had the option for digital audio as well that was kind of left off the bore not the end of the world but oh well so that's about it folks lots of stuffs coming up the new Intel releases this is the teeny z77 xe4 power board see you guys back here on Tekken tomorrow
