00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,520
okay so today i'm unboxing another part of Gigabyte's updated p55 lineup so

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:11,840
they've kind of renamed some of their older boards they've put an a in the

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:18,240
title and what that stands for is their new 333 onboard acceleration blah blah

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:24,480
blah basically usb 3.0 SATA 3 or SATA 6 gigabit per second and

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:29,519
also power 3x so what that means is they've upped the power in their usb

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:30,560
ports to three times the specification

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:35,040
laid out by the governing bodies that specify

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,960
that sort of thing and what that means is that even if you plug in three

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,800
devices to one port you won't run out of power like if you're using a hub like a

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,800
non-powered hub okay so let's have a look at the accessories included with

11
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:52,239
this board we've got an ide cable four SATA cables then we have an sli

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,360
bridge it's a flexible sli bridge we have a Gigabyte k sticker okay then we

13
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,520
have a dolby home theater sticker then we have the i o shield nicely color

14
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:05,600
coded for you there well it looks like we got a couple e SATA ports on this

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:09,840
board and there we go it even labels the usb 3.0 ports but i'll show you those in

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,840
a minute driver cd don't use this download the latest drivers the usual

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,720
deal then you've got the manual this is for the p55a ud4 as well as the ud4p

18
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:26,080
although i couldn't tell you the difference between those boards off the top of my head their smart6 user guide

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,400
smart tpm user guide and multilingual

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:33,360
installation guidebook in black and white awesome okay so then we take out

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,079
the mid plate and let's get to the board itself i mean the big features of this

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:45,759
board versus the older p55 ud4p are obviously the SATA 3 as

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,000
well as usb 3.0 but those aren't the only features present so it's quite

24
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,200
similar looking to the older board but let's start with the basics so here's

25
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,720
your CPU socket now this is a lotes

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,079
hold down here and those have become more popular

27
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,000
because there was a there's a bit of a thing going on with the foxconn ones

28
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,560
that people were complaining that under very high overclocking conditions it

29
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,480
might burn out your pins and so there they are adapting to that kind of a

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,560
change in the market conditions here you can see we've got our 12 phase power

31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,440
design they've upped the ante from the old ud4p which was an eight phase power

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,000
design here's our little cover on their kind of aztec looking sort of

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:31,840
northbridge heatsink and then we've got another cooler on a couple of chips down

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,239
here we've also got our SATA 3.0 those

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,920
are the white ports the other six are just SATA 2.0 ports and those are

36
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,000
powered by the Intel chipset okay so

37
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,000
last but not least oh no we're not even close to the end of this i'm just

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:50,959
kidding okay so here we've got our pci and pci express expansion ports these

39
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:55,680
two are sli ready you can run them at 8x 8x

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,360
pci express 2.0 and then let's see what

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,159
else do we have here we've got our usual support for up to

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:07,920
excuse me 16 gigs of ddr3 then we have our power

43
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:13,200
here this is our 24 pin and then our 8 pin power over on the top left of the

44
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,599
board now let's get around to the back side of the board the io shield so

45
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:24,000
there we have one of those i love these these are fantastic it is a combo usb

46
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:26,159
sorry combo usb combo ps2 mouse or

47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,720
keyboard port few people are using both ps2 keyboard and mouse but it's nice to

48
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:38,799
have one port then we have a boatload of usb ports usb 2.0 2.0 2.8 2.0 2.0 3.0 so

49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:44,400
these are the fast ones these are the ones that are running at five

50
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,640
uh gigabit per second five gigabit five

51
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,360
hundred megabit per second wow i'm not i'm having a bit of an off five megabit

52
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:56,959
per second i'm having it five gigabit per second off night folks

53
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,599
anyway we got a couple gigabit lan ports and then a couple esata ports a couple

54
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:07,280
firewire ports a couple digital audio ports and then 7.1 audio ports and it is

55
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:15,080
late and i'm gonna go to bed and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

56
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,080
p55a ud4p that was painful
