 Today I'm gonna be unboxing a military class 2 motherboard from MSI even though it is military class This is not part of their gaming series of products It's a c board which means it's part of their I believe it stands for classic series of products So since this is a socket 1155 board, it means we have full support. Well, not full support. Hold on I'll get more and more on that later We have support for Intel's core i3 core i5 and core i7 processors on the LG 1155 platform It supports Windows 7 it has a p67 chipset So what that means is that it does not support the onboard graphics on said CPUs So it does support the unlocking overclocking k-series chips But no onboard graphics support it features OCG Ne2 which will overclock your k-series CPU at the push of a button and it features USB 3 and SATA 3 6 gigabit per second We have super ferrite chokes as well as solid caps as part of the military class 2 concept and let's Flip over to the back and see what else MSI has to say for themselves Pretty much the same stuff. We've got a couple things that weren't covered on the front such as click file So that is a UAFI graphical bios and we have Winky 3 which is their software that allows you to use your computer before booting into the OS and And that's pretty much it. So why don't we flip this over and have a look at the board itself in terms of accessories? We've got a pretty basic package here drivers and utilities. Don't use this download the latest off the MSI website We have a quick installation guide a user's guide For the software applications as well as a user's guide for this board as well as a couple of other boards note one other board Or three other boards we have an IO shield which I don't know okay on a value board like this It's rare to see it color-coded, but here you have it It is color-coded and then we've also got two SATA 3 6 gigabit per second cables So well, I don't know they could be anything. Yeah, they're called 6 gigabit per second cables But there's no actual physical difference between these and 3 gigabit per second cables one is right angle and one is straight We have M connectors which allow you to connect your front panel power speaker all that stuff more easily and then we've also got one for USB environmentally friendly cardboard packaging allows us to not see the board yet, although we will soon Come on There we go Pretty difficult to remove there All right, so I'm going to do is I'm going to close the motherboard box and put the board on top and then we're going to Have a look at the 1667 a c45 Sticker comes off and the motherboard comes out So we've got a pretty standard board layout here ATX form factor board it has the full complement of seven slots I'm just going to take off the OC Genie sticker as well as the military class 2 sticker so we can see Exactly what we've got to work with here guys It's a little challenging to remove there. We are okay, so let's look at the overall layout Oh once again value board 8 pin connector So MSI is allowing for some serious overclocking going on if they're expecting us to need an 8 pin connector To deliver all of the potential current we could need to the CPU itself So go ahead and throw that back on there remember these little stoppers are here because you can use a 4 pin connector Just by leaving the stopper on there So it shows you which set to plug your 4 pin ATX connector into if you don't have the full 8 pin ATX connector we've got a couple of military class 2 themed MOSFET heatsinks on here so one on that side one on the top surrounding the CPU socket Which is pretty pretty bare space around it So you should be able to mount pretty much any heat sinks you want on there as I mentioned before this is an LGA 1155 socket which means support for core i3s core i5s and core i7s do not try to put an 1156 CPU in here it will not work We have full support for dual channel DDR3 memory and then moving down the right hand side of the board We've got our 24 pin ATX connector and we have some storage so here We have two SATA 3 6 gigabit per second connectors running off of the Intel chipset And then we have four SATA 2 3 gigabit per second connectors also running off of the Intel chipset Lots of fan headers on this board. Oh, no, maybe not that many okay four fan headers reasonable number of fan headers on this board Moving down the board we've got our front panel connectors as well as front USB 3.0 a front USB 2.0 header Front firewire as well as front audio in terms of slot layout. We've got three PCI slots This is a more value oriented board So it doesn't surprise me to see PCI slots included and you may need them if you have a board like this We've also got three PCIe 1x slot So one of them would be covered if you were to use a dual slot graphics card Which would leave you with two PCIe 1x and three PCIe slots Finally moving on to the IO shield we've got one of those combo PS2 Keyboard slash mouse ports that I'm a big fan of we have eight USB 2.0 ports a clear CMOS button look at that clear CMOS button on a value board looks like MSI does have some Overclocking in mind with this guy all right We've got our coaxial as well as optical audio out firewire Gigabit Ethernet two USB 3.0 ports as well as 7.1 audio and look at that They're even using screws on the back to fix all the heat sinks happy to see that I hate to see push pins on any Board that's that's that's like pretty decent because screws are just more secure There's no ifs ands or buts about it, so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p67a C45 from MSI don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos
