Gordon what's in this box hey we haven't done one of these in a
while it is a weird motherboard I'm gonna say weird or probably not fair to
call it weird but is a very different motherboard
this is Asus brand new Maximus 11 Jean which I'm seeing is weird because it's
not many I TX it is not ATX and with that it is I'm sorry about that camera
Maximus raagh of course you got republic of gamers Maximus 11 Jean this is
different you probably have not seen something like this it's a like micro
ATX but it's not micro ATX no and I'm not saying mini ITX of course mini ITX
should be about this small this is like a micro ATX motherboard but you'll
notice something very different there ain't enough PCIe lanes yeah well you
said how a sue says you know what nobody really wants to buy these micro ATX
boards for running multi GPUs because nobody runs multi GPUs anymore so we are
going to take that and try to push this like micro ATX but only a single by 16
slot chipset here is a Intel Zee 390 chipset so supporting of course all of
the eighth and ninth gen parts the bigger motherboard over a mini ITX lets
you support a lot of wattage for the CPU this is a 10 phase power supply they say
and you should be able to get it's a little easier to do then a mini ITX
board and because of because it's micro ATX you get to run 4 m dot 2's there's a
couple m dot 2's hidden under here and there's also let's see da Susans
if you already tuned out stick around because there's something even cooler
about this motherboard this is the I think you're crawling you dot too
this lets you put a couple of em about two drives in here and then put it into
the oh that's right they're calling it dim dots you of course this has been out
for a little bit but this is for storage so then you can put additional m dot
twos into this riser card there's two more here but check this out this is the
thing that's other cool you probably have not noticed it what is missing from
this motherboard memory slots micro ATX is usually big enough to support up to
four memory slots mini ITX you get to usually micro ATX they Jam on there's
other two but check this out this is oh
mother look at this we've got the big ones here oh this is a 32 gigabyte ddr4
I believe this is let's see which one this is
this is can see if 3232 gigs ddr4 yeah it's huge why is it so huge because this
is like a two-story building traditional ddr4 modules you get eight on one side
you get eight on the other side you can't stack them really yet there
are some thirty two gigabit chips I think that Samsung isn't has announced
to get around that they basically stack it there's actually two rows on here
like you know what should we pause can we just pause let me get a screwdriver
let's open up and look at this module alright we're gonna open up this double
capacity be dim again two layers let's see if we can see both layers here I
have seen pictures in the Internet of this this says zodiac I don't know who's
making this I thought we were actually getting to smaller ones but let's hope
if you pull off this heat spreader
it's a RGB on top a 32 gigabyte ddr4 3,200 module this
again is double capacity dim come on off oh don't tell me is there something else
you got to do it maybe glued on there I don't want to force it Wow this don't
break it keeps predator on there pretty good I don't want to force this because
I'm gonna have to send it back but I don't want to break it both sides yeah
maybe if I warm the module up it'll come off but no that's not coming unscrew the
other side yeah I don't think so I think it's I think basically the thermal pad
is really grabbing on to the modules here it's a bummer I was really hoping
to show you you should be able to see there should be 32 Sayle eight or eight
eight eight eight so yeah there should be 32 chips on here in order to get to
32 gigs I think this of course double capacity a sous has worked with memory
modules I think g.skill zodiac is the other to
make memory modules that let them cram in more memory onto these super tall
modules so you can run it in two slot boards but let's put in the board see
how tall it is yeah let's see serious they are big it's huge
one advantage a su says is like hey if you're into your extreme overclocking
it's actually a lot easier to get to very high extreme memory overclocks
when there's fewer buses so only two slots is actually easier to get to then
say four slots or eight slots so this if you're into your extreme overclocking
does work a little better I think it's just kind of cool look so you have micro
ATX with two slots getting to 64 gigs so you put your 99 hundred K you build your
pure RTF 220 atti all Hayter addition you can get 32 gigs in a micro ATX board
you can get for m2s and there's a couple of things I
do want to point out with this board very different instead of getting
usually two by 16s you only get a single by 16 they put this by 4 they said in
order to help cooling because it's not going to be sandwiched out of the card
and also they flipped all the connectors from the motherboard 90 degree angles
huh it's pretty cool huh cool there's actually support for I think bit I mean
get this right bits power flow supports if you're running your water pump you
can actually monitor it with the motherboard with this motherboard and
let's try to find the node connector I'm very interested in the node connector
because we're where is it must be this one I think that's the node connector no
where is the node connector it is where's no did she just say node
somewhere no it's got to be down here somewhere it's one of this that's USB
USB I think it's actually this one none huh oh yeah this is the node connector
so this is a just being very cagey about this but this connector lets you talk to
other components there is actually a power supply maker that lets you plug
into this and then you can do all the monitoring and control apparently from
your motherboard probably ties into your Asif's utilities I believe that you can
do those Oh LEDs there's a NZXT or not NZXT gosh who's doing it in Wynne is
actually doing a front OLED panel on their case well let you display controls
by plugging into the node connector I believe just like the little OLED panels
at ACS is putting it some of its water blocks these days there's no full specs
there's a lot of hardware we don't know what else is going to support this node
stuff which i think is cool if you want to go way way back and vita tried it
with enthusiast system architecture its users probably to try to do this the
only problem that of course is if asus is gonna do it gigabyte and Emma sighs I
don't want to do it gonna want to do it in their own way so we're gonna end up
with all the non spec specs like we do have with RGB but this is pretty cool
micro X yeah I mean that is it's like a mini it's almost like a mini
it's a big mini ITX port because mark area Tex has always gotten you you know
to PCIe slots b3 you could do up to three but people aren't taking advantage
of it a sue says we're just gonna take all that extra real estate make a
big-ass badass motherboard yeah well let me see they just look at the back they
say we also put a crapload of USB ports so you don't have to run a hub it's got
a tow 2.11 AC but of course a really special sauce is this double capacity
dims that they have worked with Asus there's only three motherboards that
work with it all of them made by a sous all of these built to spec very
different of course samsung has announced that it has higher density
memory chips coming out so this may not really be needed you might be able to do
this with fewer chips eventually if they have the cost over comes down but you
got a Hannah to a sous that's putting a little bit of work in there yeah that's
pretty cool and it looks cool cuz your modules bigger baby how are you gonna
get this is definitely water Cole your air coolers not gonna clear that so
we're gonna fire this up and see how this works later yeah
thanks Jordan alright check out later
