What is a Racing Motherboard? v2.0!

2017-01-25
hey what's up Tech fans world welcome once again back to tech of tomorrow so you guys all know until release new CPUs and that means new motherboards today we're going to check out the z2 70 GT 6 now this is from Biostar a lot of people out there may think the biostar is some low-end company because back in the day they did a lot of OEM stuff but they've changed over the years and the racing series motherboards have been pretty popular so with that said though let's jump in let's do the unboxing and first look and see what this motherboards all about the top of the box really doesn't say a lot just says it's the Racing z2 70 GT 6 but what's really cool is that it says it is a 240 gigabyte SSD inside the box for free so that's pretty much it let's turn around the back of the box just let you guys see the back of the box we'll talk about these things we do the unboxing but for those who really care there it is so beyond that let me pop the cap here starting off the top we're going to get the users guide user's manual watched up shows your everything that comes inside there and what you can do with it although I have to say though that I was a little bit not too pleased when I read the manual I'll get into that as we go along but let me set that off to the side then we have the 3 240 gigabyte G 300 series SSD pretty cool stuff great for your boot drive got it plenty of room the next up we have four SATA cables easy stuff their driver CD rear i/o plate and then a cable right here see what this is set up this little thing in here ok RGB LED adapter cable ok so this is very different lights inside the system we do in the unboxing we'll talk about some of those features but you get a few features we're doing your lighting in here especially with the fan so to set that up the side and that's what the cable looks like and so those are the accessories and what comes there next up obviously some other board itself we pulled out of the way get the box out of the way or back in here so it's cool motherboard out and there we have it dropping to the floor so actually let's start up a little bit different let's start off the rear il something we never do first off we see a legacy ps2 keyboard force this is perfect for those people who have old components and they want to make sure that when you're getting their BIOS it'll be recognized then down below we see two USB standard ports these are also just as well a plug in when you're doing your boot sequence if you try to plug into USB 3.0 ports a lot of times your keyboard your mouse won't be seeing your beats going ah why can't I get in the BIOS oh it's better sometimes just use them older stuff the next to that with a DVI connection display port USB type-c then we have four USB 3.0 ports gigabyte lan and then all of the audio components you can see are all gold-plated on the inside so that's pretty cool so that's right we usually don't start there but hey what the heck let's do something different now here's the board we can see the layout of the board is pretty decent lots of room all the way around the CPU socket so that you can put an aftermarket cooler all that they use absolutely the most highest components because they can use all of the caps everything on the motherboard is made pretty much what they consider to be the best of the best they don't give any fancy really marketing things as in racing they don't try to say it's like military or good enough to you know to to wipe out an army nothing like that it's just what it is the GT 6 also features the Intel LGA 1151 socket plenty of room like I said around the socket though for installing those aftermarket cooler so I don't think is going to be too much worried about what you use to cool it single 8bim power port in the top 24 pin over here there are a total of five fan headers on the board including the one that's for the fans now I say the fans I mean the fan colors so on top we have two fan headers up here these are both considered for the CPU and then the other other three which are here here here located in the bottom and then right over here as well we have another port for actually connecting up lights so when you use this port not for lights but for coloring the light when you use this particular port on the motherboard you could cable to it up it it allows you to control all the colors and everything on your motherboard for creative design stuff so people out there who like doing systems with color stuff they're going to like that because you have to buy that extra controller what ever so that's pretty cool also this piece right here in the motherboard this was not in the manual whatsoever and I mean not in the manual at all so I was kind of tripping out and that really didn't have anything about it but this thing actually lights up in four different color varieties so you can use different ones and we actually do the review and the build will actually show all that you can see all the different colors in it but it will be pretty cool the GT six features four dimm slots for dual channel ddr3 memory but what I think is really nice about this motherboard are these really nice controls here kind of hard to see but these are all like touch unlike the old days it has a bunch of pins coming up this is a lot different you have power you have different modes you have Eco mode which basically sets the entire motherboard to one and it's power saving modes and then you have sport mode the sport mode allows you to do all the adjustments do all the overclock and all that stuff and then right next that's kind of hard to see it's a little small of a button but this is the ln2 controller now if you would engage gayland to controller it will set the board automatically to its lowest setting since you can do all your overclocking to your arcs desire but not right when the board starts off so it'll make sure the board just starts right up I guess there's been some problems in the past with like things being too cold and something evelle into it not posting so this button should eliminate that altogether also next to a 24 pin power connector you have two external SATA ports and then right over here you have all your SATA ports for the motherboard now you can do all kinds of braids 0 1 5 all those can be set up through the right raise on the board now this little connector right here is something very interesting now this is a SATA connector which is basically a youtube controller for external devices this is three times the speed of USB 3.0 so it's 32 gigabits per second so that's pretty damn amazing now let's put the board around again we receive a comport I don't really think anybody's going to really use that you a few of those on there I don't know maybe somebody out there who's using you their computer for running machinery and stuff would use those but for gaming I've never used one I would you know expect the motherboard that says racing it's for gaming now you have two BIOS chips down here they're both removable you have a switch to switch between the two of them and the good thing with this is if you blow one of the biases out you can switch it to the other and then boom you're back up and going right next that right here we have the LED indicator if there's any type of problem with your board store is going to give you a code you're going to be like holy crap what's going on but at least they'll tell you what's going on as far as PC is latsko you get one two three PCI by 16 and then one two three four just the PCI single slots now the single slots were really geared for like putting modems and stuff like that in but I've noticed a lot of people just put their cards in the big slots and just roll with it on both sides of Mo's boards we all see the racing logo right by the SATA which is a racing logo and then once again over here by the audio we see the racing and then here the audio components right here now these aren't the absolute best film caps I've ever seen but they're still pretty decent and to talk just a little bit more about the audio the audio onboard features complete 7.1 surround sound technology so if you got the speakers you can listen to it earlier we pointed out to you guys a little fast control over here which is basically m2 technology for external but on this board the m2 connection is located right here and it actually has some type of advanced cooling it which keeps your m2 running cool now at 32 gigabits a second this is the absolute fastest way you can get your boot time so it's all possible putting an m2 in your device and using it as the boot drive would be my most recommended way of doing so let's just face it it's faster than hell when you use that connection and one thing really interesting how many motherboards of using that actually has Intel land surge protection that's right on this motherboard right behind the land socket is the surge protection I never knew there was that much juice comes the Lamport to pop my board but hey maybe it was wrong anyways folks all right that is it biostar racing GT 6 I would have thought though being called Racing motherboard might have had some stripes or something more racing about it I mean when I look at this I guess this thing or appears kind of racing other that says racing I want to hear you guys have thoughts down below always so down below a like button olive lynxes motherboard plus more information if you want more about it we'll be doing a build soon so you guys can see how the mother performs how it looks all that good stuff so I networked you've been watching Tekken tomorrow thanks for watching this was the Biostar z 270 GT 6 bored
