@CARatedR Youve got to be kidding me. Ive been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. Its just common sense.
Technology is evolving at an infernal pace. Computer components are already obsolete one month after its launch, because others take their place in performance and innovation. Gigabyte Motherboard Z68XP-UD3-iSSD Unboxing is from another planet, did not know that they also produce such technological plants today ... I wish to have my computer equipped with such a beauty. In fact, I should have a new computer (tuned from another planet of course), under these conditions. Peace!
I am one who would like to see a board with all usb 3.0 ports and all sata 3 ports and no pci slots and no ps/2. Stop wasting my time and money with older technology. I'll paid the little extra price. I rarely use a dvd drive. I like running multiple raid setups on my system. That is my problem right now with my decision about the gigabyte g1 sniper board. I like the board but only 2 ports are sata III. I mean come on. $429 for a motherboard with only 2 sata 3 ports?
@poisonr ppl like you/us are a tiny percentage of who buy boards the only way to make board cheap is mass production if they only sell a thousand boards rather than 10 thousand that can as much as triple the prices they cost to make turning a 2 to 300 pound board into 600 pounds or more would you pay that for a motherboard? i doubt it
Hey, what's better the ASrock z68 Extreme4 ($190) or the Asus P8Z68-V ($120) or ASUS P8Z68-V PRO ($150) . i'm buying my parts tomorrow, so i would apreciate if someone could help me soon. thanks in advance
Asrock extreme, its quite good board, don't let the name of the brand make you think its bad, if it was p8z68 delux it would be better but the -V series are lower quallity.
@ultragaming1993 it is not meant to be used standalone. it is possible but you will have very limited space. this ssd is there to be used with ssd caching with the z68 chipset.
Dam why gigabyte!!! Lol i got used to the black PCB mobos!!! I wonder how fast that internal SSD really is because on some netbooks its as slow as christmas lol
crossfire and sli are possible even with those giant tripple-slot cards, or with dualslots you have great airflow for the cards. And whatever the case might be with your graphic cards, you still have 1 pcie1x left for a souncard or whatever.
@skittlesaretasty I think you don't know about the advantages of having your OS boot from an SSD. For one it's more secure than a hard drive. But what makes this technology worth it is the speed. Using an SSD will significantly increase your PC's response time. A faster boot time would just be a small spec of it's advantages.
How many phases does it have? is it good for overclocking the i7 2600k? is it better than Z68X-UD4 ? thanks again for this great video, I hope to see you testing this board soon, I really like it!
The GA-Z68X-UD4 as its great for OC'ing but make sure you get yourself a good cooling system (goes without saying). Also, unless you're going to be doing allot of editing or rendering the 2600k is pretty useless compared to the 2500k, it just costs more and only editing software actually uses the hyper-threading
@kamkazeepenguin Thank you, I don't want to buy this for my self, I was thinking of buying this board as a gift for someone. For me, I already have EVGA E770 w/ i7-980X & Asus Maximus IV Extreme w/ 2600k.
so this board is same as the Z68X-UD3 but with built in SSD? right? thank again!
@KreKeriS911 you are right if you're talking about version 11.04 unless there is a newer version out i forgot to check on. at least close...i read it takes 4 gigs flat. then again i haven't tried 11.04 yet. 10.04 lts only takes around 2 and a half gigs. cheers
@zenfreak96 It's for Intel's Smart Response Technology. It's supposed to be used as a caching device for hard drives in order to increase their speeds.
@zenfreak96 Yeah, I have to wonder though if intel smart response would work in conjunction with RAID 0 or another SSD though. If not, RAID 0 is still a much better option.
@zenfreak96 Yeah, I put together my first build back in 2008. I still have it, but it's been upgraded so much that the only original parts I still have are the ram and one of the dvd drives. I've got a couple of Western Digital Caviar Blacks in RAID 0 right now. They're pretty awesome. 500GB each with a 32mb cache.
What is the deal with putting PCI Slots on killer motherboards with all things considering they are waste of space and will not be used. What happened to phasing out PCI Slots?
@krispwnsu I dont blame you for feeling that way. honestly i think it's just a way to enable customers to use the intel caching tech ( whatever it's called) without the end user having to physical deal with another ssd during the process. regardless I agree..20 gigs IS NOT realistically enough. 60gig is alittle more like it
@ChasingFlies omg chill. It's called BROADENING YOUR HORIZONS. he has a mac..so what.

@chronofusion I'm done? Haha what are you going to do? Hurt me? Who says i need a gay facial expression to set off that I am joking? "people cannot see your face" Yes, but it seems everyone but you could see the context I used.
You be fine with one GTX 580 or dual GTX 570 or just go big GTX 590 or Radeon 6990 I have GTX 570 Ti I'm going to buy second one bc my gaming rig its hooked to 55inch LED 240hz 3D TV
@omac256 You won't really get much out of a second card with that set up to be fair. An extra card would make sense if you added extra displays running high resolutions. It doesn't really matter how large an HDTV gets either, the resolution is still going to be maxed out at 1920 x 1080 (unless it's one of those new stupidly expensive 4k displays or something lol). One way you could boost performance is getting a 260 or something as a dedicated PhysX card.
hey Elric, since games like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are coming in november I've been saving for a new GPU so what would be the right video card to play these games in the max settings on a 30" monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1600?
@TekkSpekk go for dual 580s make sure you buy the 3gig vram i would go for msi 580 lightning xtreme edition. Both the 590 and 6990 are a joke underclocked loud and bunch of other problems. So you know for BF3 you will need a good cpu with decent amount of cores on as it is cpu dependent. Another option is wait for the revision 2 590s if you are no rush to buy it yet.
@TekkSpekk If you plan on running 2 or more 30" displays then more VRAM is always helpful, otherwise getting a dual set up with 3GB of VRAM on each card as someone suggested is hugely overkill and a massive waste of money. A single 280 should do the trick, or if you really want to go all out, a single 590. SLI wouldn't really help out much unless one was a dedicated PhysX card (a 260 would do nicely there) or you're running a bunch of high res displays.
@TalesOfWar I would agree about the"overkill"part. However it depends on: the game, the eye candy settings, are both monitors being used similarly to Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround? rez? fps standards that you prefer? not saying you're wrong. Just things to think about. Speakin from 10 years of gaming pc building & testing experience. example- metro2033 at 2560x1600 rez, eye candy maxed on 2 or 3 24" monitors? yeah 2 gtx580's with 3gb vram needed for min 40 fps. Linus tech tips proved that
@AaZ101112 welli gotta say... iWAS VERY close......... not even 1min difference and i have to say... youtube gotta work moer on up-to-date comments with NEW videos being uploaded
@bornwisedistruction No it doesn't, unless you get some kind of power surge that fries the entire thing. It's just an mSATA drive. A lot of the 2.5" SSD's are actually mSATA inside a 2.5" enclosure. Intel do this I believe.
@TalesOfWar Interesting I did not know so i could just get a hold of a msata to sata enclosure or adapter and be good to go i thought it was built in did not pay close attn to the connector until after your response. its just that me and 2 in one products have had a very rocky relationship : (
One thing I hate about those SATA connections, is that they are sideways, I prefer them to be up from the board, so you don't have to bend your cables down to get them into the SATA port, if you have a tight space.
@CJCA915 The placement is kind of dependent on the case you're using really. A lot of newer cases have better cable routing and cut outs along the side of the board tray which makes them much more convenient in the layout they have on this (and most other newer) boards. I can see it being annoying with older cases, or just ones that simply lack these cut outs. If you're feeling adventurous you could modify the cables to fit two ports in one lol.
@kamikazerus This new chipset supports a similar system that the Seagate Hybrid Momentus drives use, which uses an SSD as a super fast big ass cache for the HDD. It makes the SSD invisible to the file system, automatically works out the most commonly loaded files and stores them on the SSD. You could use it as a stand alone drive if you like too, just change it in the UEFI.
@MrMexicanZombie What's the difference between a 20GB HDD or SSD, besides the storage itself, one uses platters, the other uses solid state memory... however, since I can't afford an SSD, what happens?
@CJCA915 if you dont know the difference between a 20gb hdd and ssd. then you obviously have never owned and used a ssd for o.s./gaming/multimedia usage. it is a NIGHT and DAY difference. and it's called newegg dot com they have the best pricing on ssd's. tiger direct dot com has gotten better on video cards but the egg is the closest thing you'll have to a wholesale account without having one. mlc sandforce 1200 ssd's are still 2 bucks per gig. and getting cheaper
@chronofusion Well, one would have gathered that I haven't in my last comment it says "since I can't afford an SSD..."
I use newegg for most of my stuff, but SSDs are still to small for the price, It's like $100+ for a 250GB SSD, when I can get a 1TB HDD for $75-80, when SSDs become higher in capacity, and cheaper in price, I'll consider it...
@CJCA915 I havent known anyone to do it successfully on that size of an ssd. I am sure it can be done because microsoft says you need 16gb of memory for win 7 64 hp before updates so thats why i had said it was pushing it. everyone i know uses at least 30 just for a boot drive. yeah memory is memory i was just talking about the size not the fact that it was an ssd. I want one for a boot drive...im in the same boat thinking they are to expensive still for media.
@CJCA915 thats what i meant :D you must have some external back up...i could be wrong but i think most ppl partition? either that or they dont back up there systems at all.
@MrMexicanZombie I have 1 x 250GB HDD and 1 x 1TB HDD, I install Windows on the smaller one, along with my software, etc. and my 3D models, and all that are saved on the 1TB HDD...
@MrMexicanZombie It acts as a cache for the HDD. The chipset turns it into a hybrid system that moves files around based on which ones are most often accessed.

It's called common sense and stop trolling while you're at it

You be fine with one GTX 580 or dual GTX 570 or just go big GTX 590 or Radeon 6990 I have GTX 570 Ti I'm going to buy second one bc my gaming rig its hooked to 55inch LED 240hz 3D TV
omac256 8 months ago
@omac256 You won't really get much out of a second card with that set up to be fair. An extra card would make sense if you added extra displays running high resolutions. It doesn't really matter how large an HDTV gets either, the resolution is still going to be maxed out at 1920 x 1080 (unless it's one of those new stupidly expensive 4k displays or something lol). One way you could boost performance is getting a 260 or something as a dedicated PhysX card.

hey Elric, since games like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are coming in november I've been saving for a new GPU so what would be the right video card to play these games in the max settings on a 30" monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1600?

@TekkSpekk Dual GTX 580's or Radeon 6970's, or check out a GTX 590 or Radeon 6990.

@TekkSpekk 590 is my pick, dual 580s may be a bit better.
alexbeast14 8 months ago
@alexbeast14 dual 580s are much better since the 590 is two underclocked 580s and go pop when overclocked.
ganonforce 8 months ago
@ganonforce Yup
alexbeast14 8 months ago
@TekkSpekk go for dual 580s make sure you buy the 3gig vram i would go for msi 580 lightning xtreme edition. Both the 590 and 6990 are a joke underclocked loud and bunch of other problems. So you know for BF3 you will need a good cpu with decent amount of cores on as it is cpu dependent. Another option is wait for the revision 2 590s if you are no rush to buy it yet.
ganonforce 8 months ago
@TekkSpekk If you plan on running 2 or more 30" displays then more VRAM is always helpful, otherwise getting a dual set up with 3GB of VRAM on each card as someone suggested is hugely overkill and a massive waste of money. A single 280 should do the trick, or if you really want to go all out, a single 590. SLI wouldn't really help out much unless one was a dedicated PhysX card (a 260 would do nicely there) or you're running a bunch of high res displays.
TalesOfWar 8 months ago
@TalesOfWar I would agree about the"overkill"part. However it depends on: the game, the eye candy settings, are both monitors being used similarly to Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround? rez? fps standards that you prefer? not saying you're wrong. Just things to think about. Speakin from 10 years of gaming pc building & testing experience. example- metro2033 at 2560x1600 rez, eye candy maxed on 2 or 3 24" monitors? yeah 2 gtx580's with 3gb vram needed for min 40 fps. Linus tech tips proved that

bornwisedistruction 8 months ago
@bornwisedistruction No it doesn't, unless you get some kind of power surge that fries the entire thing. It's just an mSATA drive. A lot of the 2.5" SSD's are actually mSATA inside a 2.5" enclosure. Intel do this I believe.

@TalesOfWar Interesting I did not know so i could just get a hold of a msata to sata enclosure or adapter and be good to go i thought it was built in did not pay close attn to the connector until after your response. its just that me and 2 in one products have had a very rocky relationship : (

One thing I hate about those SATA connections, is that they are sideways, I prefer them to be up from the board, so you don't have to bend your cables down to get them into the SATA port, if you have a tight space.
CJCA915 8 months ago
@CJCA915 The placement is kind of dependent on the case you're using really. A lot of newer cases have better cable routing and cut outs along the side of the board tray which makes them much more convenient in the layout they have on this (and most other newer) boards. I can see it being annoying with older cases, or just ones that simply lack these cut outs. If you're feeling adventurous you could modify the cables to fit two ports in one lol.

herp, herpedy derp derp, so what those 20gb for exactly? ssd/hdd cache?
kamikazerus 8 months ago
@kamikazerus This new chipset supports a similar system that the Seagate Hybrid Momentus drives use, which uses an SSD as a super fast big ass cache for the HDD. It makes the SSD invisible to the file system, automatically works out the most commonly loaded files and stores them on the SSD. You could use it as a stand alone drive if you like too, just change it in the UEFI.

@MrMexicanZombie 20GB is more than enough for Windows 7 x64... when I install Windows 7 x64, it comes in under 10GB...

MrMexicanZombie 8 months ago
@MrMexicanZombie What's the difference between a 20GB HDD or SSD, besides the storage itself, one uses platters, the other uses solid state memory... however, since I can't afford an SSD, what happens?
CJCA915 8 months ago
@CJCA915 if you dont know the difference between a 20gb hdd and ssd. then you obviously have never owned and used a ssd for o.s./gaming/multimedia usage. it is a NIGHT and DAY difference. and it's called newegg dot com they have the best pricing on ssd's. tiger direct dot com has gotten better on video cards but the egg is the closest thing you'll have to a wholesale account without having one. mlc sandforce 1200 ssd's are still 2 bucks per gig. and getting cheaper
chronofusion 8 months ago
This has been flagged as spam show
@chronofusion Well, one would have gathered that I haven't in my last comment it says "since I can't afford an SSD..."
I use newegg for most of my stuff, but SSDs are still to small for the price, It's like $100+ for a 250GB SSD, when I can get a 1TB HDD for $75-80, when SSDs become higher in capacity, and cheaper in price, I'll consider it...
CJCA915 8 months ago
@CJCA915 I havent known anyone to do it successfully on that size of an ssd. I am sure it can be done because microsoft says you need 16gb of memory for win 7 64 hp before updates so thats why i had said it was pushing it. everyone i know uses at least 30 just for a boot drive. yeah memory is memory i was just talking about the size not the fact that it was an ssd. I want one for a boot drive...im in the same boat thinking they are to expensive still for media.
MrMexicanZombie 8 months ago
@MrMexicanZombie Memory and drive space are 2 different things... memory is the long sticks you put in the slots on the board...
Well, I install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my HDD in under 15GB...

@CJCA915 thats what i meant :D you must have some external back up...i could be wrong but i think most ppl partition? either that or they dont back up there systems at all.

@MrMexicanZombie I have 1 x 250GB HDD and 1 x 1TB HDD, I install Windows on the smaller one, along with my software, etc. and my 3D models, and all that are saved on the 1TB HDD...
CJCA915 8 months ago
@MrMexicanZombie It acts as a cache for the HDD. The chipset turns it into a hybrid system that moves files around based on which ones are most often accessed.
