00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.520
okay so today i'm unboxing another part of Gigabyte's updated p55 lineup so

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

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:18.240
title and what that stands for is their new 333 onboard acceleration blah blah

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:24.480
blah basically usb 3.0 SATA 3 or SATA 6 gigabit per second and

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:29.519
also power 3x so what that means is they've upped the power in their usb

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:30.560
ports to three times the specification

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.040
laid out by the governing bodies that specify

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:38.960
that sort of thing and what that means is that even if you plug in three

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

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:46.800
non-powered hub okay so let's have a look at the accessories included with

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:52.239
this board we've got an ide cable four SATA cables then we have an sli

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:57.360
bridge it's a flexible sli bridge we have a Gigabyte k sticker okay then we

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.520
have a dolby home theater sticker then we have the i o shield nicely color

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

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

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.840
a minute driver cd don't use this download the latest drivers the usual

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

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

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.400
smart tpm user guide and multilingual

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:33.360
installation guidebook in black and white awesome okay so then we take out

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

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:45.759
board versus the older p55 ud4p are obviously the SATA 3 as

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

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.200
similar looking to the older board but let's start with the basics so here's

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.720
your CPU socket now this is a lotes

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.079
hold down here and those have become more popular

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

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.560
that people were complaining that under very high overclocking conditions it

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.480
might burn out your pins and so there they are adapting to that kind of a

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.560
change in the market conditions here you can see we've got our 12 phase power

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.440
design they've upped the ante from the old ud4p which was an eight phase power

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:26.000
design here's our little cover on their kind of aztec looking sort of

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:31.840
northbridge heatsink and then we've got another cooler on a couple of chips down

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.239
here we've also got our SATA 3.0 those

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:39.920
are the white ports the other six are just SATA 2.0 ports and those are

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:42.000
powered by the Intel chipset okay so

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

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:50.959
kidding okay so here we've got our pci and pci express expansion ports these

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:55.680
two are sli ready you can run them at 8x 8x

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.360
pci express 2.0 and then let's see what

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:02.159
else do we have here we've got our usual support for up to

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:07.920
excuse me 16 gigs of ddr3 then we have our power

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

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

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

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.159
sorry combo usb combo ps2 mouse or

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.720
keyboard port few people are using both ps2 keyboard and mouse but it's nice to

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

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:44.400
these are the fast ones these are the ones that are running at five

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.640
uh gigabit per second five gigabit five

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

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:56.959
per second i'm having it five gigabit per second off night folks

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:01.599
anyway we got a couple gigabit lan ports and then a couple esata ports a couple

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:07.280
firewire ports a couple digital audio ports and then 7.1 audio ports and it is

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

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.080
p55a ud4p that was painful
