What's going on guys it is Bernardo and today we're doing an unboxing on our second part of
our cryptocurrency build that we are building together. I think on the first video we went over
some of the parts that I am going to be purchasing, and we also did the unboxing
of the Radeon RX 580 8 Gig graphics card now today we are dealing with the motherboard.
And we have the MSI B 450 AMD motherboard so I'm super super excited,
and let's get into unboxing and seeing what's inside the box.
Alright so what comes inside the box, we have an MSI kind of pamphlet that gives you a rundown on
some of the products, we have a thank you for choosing a MSI product, little card,
we have our case standoff notification kind of sheet, we have our quick installation guide,
extremely important when you're dealing with the CPU and other stuff, we have a M.2 screw,
make sure don't lose this, we have a true gaming MSI sticker, we have two eSATA, cables,
we have our faceplate for input and output panel and our AMD motherboard drivers and utility,
CD, which really weird to have this because a lot of computers don't have DVD or CD ROMs anymore.
So most likely I would recommend going online and getting the latest and greatest drivers
and utilities at the site you can just download it. And then last but not least we have the B450
Motherboard from MSI, the A PRO Max edition. So we are going to take it out of the bag, nice and easy
to go over some of the ports and features,
how nice is that, awesome. Alright so let's take a closer look on the input and output panel of
the B450 Alright, so the back panel on the B 450 You have the following we have our PS two port.
We have two 2.0 USB ports, we have a VGA and DVI port, we have 1, 2, 3, 4 3.1 USB ports
right here in the bottom we have an HDMI port, we have a rj 45 gigabit port.
And then we have six channels for audio. Now the following and the pink one is the mic in,
line out, line in, the rear speaker out, center subwoofer out, and the last one the gray one
is actually the side speaker out. Okay, so let's talk about some of the features
on the MSI B 450 Motherboard. Now the CPU socket is AM4, an entire motherboard is ATX form factor
chipset is AMD, V 450 memory capacity 64 gigs, which actually has four DIMM channels, memory type
support is Double D R4 for memory speed you either get the Double D R4 1866, up to Double D R4 4133,
it does support crossfire. It's actually housing, two PCIe by 16 slots, and four PCIe by one slots,
you can actually hook up this motherboard with a M.2 solid state drive, Or you can get six SATA
drives and configure a raid 0, 1 or 10, RAID configuration. Now the retail price for the
B450 really depends on where you're getting it, but if you go to amazon.com or b&h.com, you can
actually get this motherboard for $90 Okay, so let's take our MSI B 450 A Pro Max motherboard,
we're going to hook it up to our case, computer case, which is from CoolerMaster, and I can't
really tell you which case this because I kind of rip all the parts from it, I ripped the front
panel the side panels and everything is just is really gutted. So this is the way that I'm going
to use it. I'm going to insert the motherboard into this computer case, so let's get right
into that.
Okay so we just finished inserting our MSI B450 inside our computer case,
I had to insert a couple of risers inside of the computer case. And before I even inserted the
motherboard I had to install the back you know the input and output panel for the motherboard,
so a total of, I believe, nine screws that I had to actually lock down the motherboard I'm
pretty excited. I'm still waiting for the rest of the parts I think the next part that I'm going
to receive in the lab will be the CPU and the memory. Again, this machine has four DIMM slots,
I only purchased one eight gigs stick, because I don't really need a lot of memory or a powerful
CPU it's the graphics card that I need to do the mining for the cryptocurrency. Overall, hopefully
you guys enjoyed this unboxing of the MSI B450 A PRO Max motherboard, and I'll catch you guys on
the next unboxing of the other parts that we need for our cryptocurrency mining machine. Peace out.
