00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:07,520
wow another p55 unboxing video imagine

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:09,719
that today we've got the Gigabyte p55m

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,799
ud2 so what you may have noticed by now if you've watched all our p-55 uh

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,640
Gigabyte unboxings is that there's a bit of a uh a pattern to the naming so m

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:23,160
means we've got another microatx board on our hands threeyear warranty Ultra

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:28,080
durable 3 but we're missing the crossfire Dolby and SLI logos so let's

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:34,040
get this board open this is gigabytes entrylevel Micro ATX p55 board so we've

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:39,200
got our manual here then we have our uh installation driver and utility DVD then

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:43,440
we have our Smart Stick smart STI Smart Stick smart 6 user guide we have the

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,920
multilingual installation guide book so that's your quick start guide and then

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,760
we have two SATA cables an IDE cable and

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,879
an IO Shield there that's your accessories this is an entrylevel board

13
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:59,640
in terms of the overall accessory package so here we go let's get this

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:06,040
baby opened up and we're going to be comp comparing it in a lot of ways to

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,360
the p55m ud4 because that is a more

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:13,640
featur Rich board it's more fully loaded so this one compared to that board

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:19,600
doesn't have the robust mosfet cooling solution it also doesn't have support

18
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:22,240
for SLI and Crossfire this port is only

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,000
capable of running in 16x mode and this one even though it physically is a 16x

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:32,479
Port you can see the pins here if you can see the pins here actually are only

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,479
4X so that means that this is a 4X PCIe

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:37,439
2.0 slot but it runs off the chipset

23
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:41,560
rather than the PCI Express Lanes built directly into the CPU that means if you

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,000
actually tried to run SLI or Crossfire on this board your performance wouldn't

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,040
be very good now like all p-55 boards you do have support for dual Channel

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:54,320
DDR3 memory and I'm glad to see even on an entry-level board that we've got four

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,960
slots for that that's really good and then up at the top left we've got our 8

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:03,079
Pin power up on the top right on the edge we've got the 2 4 pin power exactly

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:08,000
where they belong and then I'm really happy to see this actually we've got

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,800
seven SATA ports even on our lowest end

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,879
board here so they've actually got their optional Gigabyte SATA 2 chipset here

32
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,360
really good to see um we don't have some of the higher-end features like onboard

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,560
clear seos and power buttons but that's what you expect out of an entry-level

34
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,680
product so now let's have a look at the I/O panel on the back so you've got uh

35
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:32,080
wow it looks like almost all of gigabytes boards have about 10 USB ports

36
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:35,080
this one actually has has 11 wow so then

37
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,200
we've got a PS2 Mouse uh USB combo Port

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,120
digital audio um here's one of those USB

39
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:45,920
e SATA combo ports and then you've got a fire wire Port gigabit Lan and 7.1 audio

40
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:51,159
thank you for checking out my blog on the p55m
