2013-02-24
everybody welcome back to tech of tomorrow where today we're gonna be taking a look at the gigabyte F 285 X - u P for today we'll do the unboxing and overview so we've got it out in front of us already you can see it's the gigabyte the ultra durable five ultra cool ultra efficient ultra performance high current capability won an award at Computex best of 2012 designed for overclocking AMD a-series AP use and use for in water cooled system so basically they're saying that this board is designed to use water-cooled systems kind of like the Swift Tec h2 - oh the sidon by the people over Coolermaster the thermal take other ones that are out there now down here they're sporting their digital power 3d bios duel UEFI bios two times the copper new glass fabric PCB some little fine tips down there it says it has humidity protection so but sweats it won't blow up alright spinning around take a look at the back of the box real quick once again we see the name cool power inside and out single package designed here we see different types of MOSFETs and how they work with the traditional being hot other one being cooler and then their new one being the coolest which is the ir35 five oh that's right so so that's the outside of the box let's jump in and let's actually see what comes in the box so i'll set it down over here kind of bang this thing up and by the way folks just to let you know this is the type of cpu that these use the AMD series this is there APU has both the GPU CPU and everything else in there accelerated little thing here so set that off the side so right here start off we've got the manual might has a little crease in it right here that hurts ouch ouch ouch suck it off the slide here goes the C D and D FM to FM 1 series utility DVD next up the back plate which you guys can see is all very clearly marked so if you need to know where anything's at you can look at display port HDMI USB 3 all of your audio so let's get past that three sets of the SATA cables the multi-lingual installation guide book got that there set that down now let's go on to the motherboard itself so we bring this up here and let's go ahead and get the bore it out it's also a little sticker in here that we're missing there's a little case badge folks so now let me go ahead and throw this whole box at the camera sorry folks so here we have the board and all of its plastic packaging C is completely sealed in the back here I'm gonna go ahead and break this on the tape seal let's bring the board out and let's sit it down and let's start going over it so since we have the rear i/o up first let's set the board out here so the camera can get a good shot on it and let's talk about the rear i/o first up we've got the legacy ps2 both keyboard and mouse port great to have that a lot of times you cannot access the keyboard sometimes the very first time you put up a system unless you have that so I prefer to have it we have two of the first USB 3.0 ports as far as graphical support we have VGA DVI DisplayPort and HDMI all on the rear i/o very impressed with that by the way next up we have the eSATA port that's the red port here on the bottom two USB 2.0 ports an additional set of the USB 3.0 ports gigabyte lan now as far as the audio goes we have both digital being optical right here and then analog right here so you have the best of both worlds whatever you need to have starting up to the top of the board we have our first of the system fans system fan 2 is located right here on top 8 pin power connector then we're going to move over over on the far side it's a little bit hard to see but there's the CMOS clear switch right here it's a little button I'll try to bring it up closer maybe to the camera can see that it's right here so we got that bring it back over here now let's talk about the zip area you can see all of their high end caps plenty of room actually around the ZIF socket as you guys can see here they are talking about they can use water coolers and all that well there's actually plenty of room all the way around here for this as you guys can see now we also see the first CPU fan it's located down here I'm gonna spin the board around on the side here we can see the memory slots 24-pin power here's the onboard power switch you can see that right there and here's the reset switch this little thing down here so now let's flip the board back actually let's take a look here because I still find this interesting let's take a look here and uh still says ATI so even though you know AMD is still the one you know with their name on the ownership you know it still says ATI crossfire X right there and then mix that we see the serial ata now as we take a look down the bottom we can see right here these are all say two three say two three say two three till is right there so yeah six of those they're all say two three next up we have a little split board down here this is two if you have any system errors or anything like that now let me spin the board around again next up let's talk about the PCIe support so we have one two three of the PCIe 1x we have a single PCIe 16x PCIe 8x right here standard PCI slot right here and down at the bottom we have another PCIe 4x slot all the way at the bottom down there now also why we're down at the bottom will try to come down here you guys can see that right here they're all color-coordinated we also have another eSATA external port right here which is also say two three another system fan connector right here all kinds of various connections down here including it another USB 3.0 port so over here so the additional chips you can clearly see right here all the different PCIe stuff I probably should have held it that way when I show it to you guys if I would have been better so my apologies on that I'll learn so that's how I should have actually shown it to you guys this is what you can clearly see PCIe one PCI to PCI 3 16 a and 4 and your standard PCI alright folks so there you have it the f2a 85 X - u p4 now it's a long thing to swallow a long name but anyways I hope you guys liked that that's the unboxing and just showing you this board pretty much up close I'll be installing it in the system and seeing how it works as well so anyways I hope you guys like this video if so you guys know what to do hit that like button and show me that love also
