1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,480 so we have with us today the p55 ud6 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:12,320 from Gigabyte this is uh their top of the line p55 motherboard you can see it 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,320 features 24 phase power along with all 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,720 of their other technologies sli crossfire b home theater and ultra 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,720 durable three it comes in a really high end box as you can see so you can see a 6 00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:26,720 preview of the board but don't worry we'll uh we'll unbox the whole thing 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,560 here before the end of this now we're shooting our video today in southeast 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:36,079 asia where this board was designed and manufactured as you can see from the the 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,559 maps below us here so i'm just gonna 10 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:44,239 take this out of the box and here we go so it comes in kind of a 11 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,800 glossy outer sleeve and then we get down to the actual 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,239 box that the motherboard comes in i hope okay there we go so let's do the 13 00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,480 accessories first and have a look at what comes with Gigabyte's premium p55 14 00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:01,520 product so we have our our user guide for smart 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,880 trusted platform module then we have our smart six user manual 16 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,200 we have our normal motherboard user manual along with our driver and utility 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,720 dvd then we have the multilingual 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,880 installation guidebook which is more of a quick start guide and then in 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,119 terms of actual components we've got four SATA cables and an ide cable 20 00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,520 then we have an sli a floppy sli bridge 21 00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:33,119 then we have what appears to be an e SATA 22 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,520 let me just double check SATA to 23 00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,320 e SATA cable it looks like oh no these are just black yeah SATA to e SATA 24 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,400 cables two of them and then we have an esata bracket that gives you two esata 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,920 ports just by plugging into internal SATA ports and then two uh molex two 26 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:54,880 SATA power adapters so you could just plug in regular regular drives outside 27 00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,560 of your computer if you wanted to do that without an enclosure so there's our 28 00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:02,960 little sticker a Gigabyte powered sticker and then here is the i o shield 29 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,200 okay so let's get down to the motherboard itself get this baby 30 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,920 unpacked here so you can see that the 31 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,239 oh it's taped it's taped shut okay well i hadn't noticed that that would have 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:21,200 been kind of embarrassing there we go so you can see that compared to 33 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,720 gigabytes normal p55 boards there are a 34 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,680 lot of power faces on this motherboard 35 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:31,760 and i cannot get it out of the plastic packaging here somehow it is it is 36 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,599 gripping the board and not allowing me to remove it there 37 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,280 we go okay so there's your 24 phase power how do 38 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,560 you like that that is a lot of power phases and you can actually see a lot of 39 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,720 the power circuitry is on the back of the motherboard so they've they've 40 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,040 overloaded the amount of space they actually have to provide power to the 41 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,000 CPU you have quite a robust cooling solution 42 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:03,280 running from your south bridge area to the to the chipset 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,080 up to the mosfet cooling and what you'll notice about this board is unlike other 44 00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,959 p55 boards it actually has six RAM slots 45 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,879 now it still only works in dual channel but you can actually load up an 46 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:19,519 additional two modules even though you won't get additional performance you can 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,720 have a little bit of extra capacity now like all of the other p55 high-end 48 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,959 boards you do have support for sli and crossfire at 8x 8x electrical 49 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,000 you've got use of six of your seven expansion slots i don't know what you'll 50 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,200 be able to plug in here with this northbridge in the way now you've got 51 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:44,239 onboard let's see what is this this is an onboard cmos clear switch and then 52 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,080 you have an onboard power switch up on the top right of the board your power 53 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,720 connectors are up at the top left for the eight pin and then over on the right 54 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,040 hand edge for the 24 pin right where they belong 55 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:03,040 and in terms of connectivity you've got 10 SATA ports so you can see those from 56 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,439 the side and then you have one ide port 57 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,560 here now let's have a look at the back panel i o 58 00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:14,159 and again you can see this is a fully loaded board so you've got 10 usb ports 59 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:19,680 two iseta ports so these are both those uh usb esata combo ports you have a ps2 60 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:25,680 keyboard mouse combo port you've got digital audio two gigabit Ethernet ports 61 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,919 and then 7.1 channel audio so thank you for checking out my blog on the Gigabyte 62 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:30,919 p55ud6
