00:00:00.799 --> 00:00:07.520
wow another p55 unboxing video imagine

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:09.719
that today we've got the Gigabyte p55m

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

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

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:23.160
means we've got another microatx board on our hands threeyear warranty Ultra

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:28.080
durable 3 but we're missing the crossfire Dolby and SLI logos so let's

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:34.040
get this board open this is gigabytes entrylevel Micro ATX p55 board so we've

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:39.200
got our manual here then we have our uh installation driver and utility DVD then

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:43.440
we have our Smart Stick smart STI Smart Stick smart 6 user guide we have the

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.920
multilingual installation guide book so that's your quick start guide and then

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:50.760
we have two SATA cables an IDE cable and

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.879
an IO Shield there that's your accessories this is an entrylevel board

00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.640
in terms of the overall accessory package so here we go let's get this

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

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.360
the p55m ud4 because that is a more

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:13.640
featur Rich board it's more fully loaded so this one compared to that board

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:19.600
doesn't have the robust mosfet cooling solution it also doesn't have support

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:22.240
for SLI and Crossfire this port is only

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:27.000
capable of running in 16x mode and this one even though it physically is a 16x

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

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.479
4X so that means that this is a 4X PCIe

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:37.439
2.0 slot but it runs off the chipset

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:41.560
rather than the PCI Express Lanes built directly into the CPU that means if you

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:46.000
actually tried to run SLI or Crossfire on this board your performance wouldn't

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.040
be very good now like all p-55 boards you do have support for dual Channel

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

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

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

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.000
where they belong and then I'm really happy to see this actually we've got

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.800
seven SATA ports even on our lowest end

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.879
board here so they've actually got their optional Gigabyte SATA 2 chipset here

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

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.560
clear seos and power buttons but that's what you expect out of an entry-level

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

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:32.080
wow it looks like almost all of gigabytes boards have about 10 USB ports

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.080
this one actually has has 11 wow so then

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.200
we've got a PS2 Mouse uh USB combo Port

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.120
digital audio um here's one of those USB

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

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:51.159
thank you for checking out my blog on the p55m

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.159
