okay well I think we've finally made our way to our last assus p55 board to unbox
we've got the p7p 55d deluxe board so
what's the difference between this and all the other boards well it's got 16
plus three phase power for the CPU so that's better than any of the other
assus boards now you've also got support now the Evo has this too but you've got
support for Drive expert which is an automatic uh Drive backup solution so
there's that uh other relevant stuff not
really much of anything in there but let's get this board open okay so all
right you've got the turbo V remote so this is a hardware level overclocking
button so you can actually increase decrease your bus speed and you've got a
few different presets uh turbo key can turn it on so that plugs into the back
of your IO Shield speaking of IO Shields here's the io Shield so there's the
turbo connector spot there we go pretty cool so then you've got your manual your
drivers and applications DVD uh then we've got okay okay six SATA
cables three right angle three straight then we've got USB and E SATA IO bracket
then we've got an SLI Bridge uh the Q
connector things for USB and for your front case connectors then we've got an
IDE cable let's get this board out so
you will notice that it looks very similar to all of ausa's other p55
boards they've gone with a fairly unified looking theme and let's see if
we can find the difference between this and their other board so first thing
let's have a look at the general layout here's your two slots for Crossfire and
SLI so it's 8X 8X if you're running two
cards and then this one will run at 4X Electrical uh off of the chipset which
has a different looking cooler on it this is actually pretty sweet looking
it's very very shiny and nice yeah I
kind of like that anyway so then we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine SATA ports so
we've got six on a right angle here and
then three down at the bottom of the board you've got your onboard power and reset switches and then you've got your
mem switch and then up here you've got little toggle switches for overvolting
the RAM the IMC that's the memory controller or the uncore and then the
CPU so you probably won't be playing around with those unless you're an
extreme overclocker you've got your power connectors in the usual places 24
pin on the right hand Edge and eight pin up at the top left and they're using
their actually there's a heat pipe in between their cool uh like ice Fortress
looking uh pwm coolers so there you can see there's your 16 phase power around
your CPU socket here's the connector for that turbo Turbo connector thing in
Miggy and then that I guess comes out a little place at the back and then here
we go let's have a look at the back iio so you've got your PS2 keyboard and
mouse there's your clear Simo switch then you've got eight USB ports digital
audio out uh 2 GB Ethernet one fire wire
and 7.1 audio conspicuously missing is e
satus support it's very strange for a premium board like this anyway thank you
