WEBVTT 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.279 so we finally got our last Gigabyte p55 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:09.679 unboxing this is the p55 ud5 so this is 00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.240 their step down from the ultra premium ud6 so we're gonna have support for a 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.760 lot of the high-end features of the ud6 but it'll be cut down in a couple small 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.480 ways so it features 12 phase power compared to the 24 phase power on the 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:28.560 ud6 but we still got a lot of high-end stuff like sli crossfire x and obviously 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:33.360 support for gigabytes ultra durable 3 technology and smart 6 which is a 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.360 variety of different ways of smartly managing your system 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.360 which i finally looked up most of the time i don't run those sort of 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:47.680 bundled motherboard utilities anyway though so anyway okay let's get this board open so 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:53.360 here we go accessory package we have again quite a complete accessory package 00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:58.480 so we've got four SATA ports one eye cables one ide cable then we've got a 00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.879 flexible sli bridge we've got your smart 6 user guide your smart trusted platform 00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:07.600 module guide we've got the regular motherboard user manual along with a 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:10.320 drivers and utilities dvd then we've got the multilingual 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:17.200 installation guide book so that's your quick start guide then here we've got 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.759 two e SATA ports and one molex port 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:26.640 i o bracket adapter thingy then we've got two molex to SATA power adapters and 00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.080 then two SATA to esata cable so that 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.159 allows you to take a couple of just regular joe hard drives with no special 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:35.600 enclosures and plug them directly off the back of your computer to use any 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.920 SATA mode so then we've got our i o shield 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:43.040 dolby home theater sticker a Gigabyte system sticker 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.880 and let's get down to the board there's actually like a foam padding thing here 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:51.520 that's kind of neat i guess it protects the uh protects the northbridge heatsink 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.000 okay so let's get this baby open and have a look so like i mentioned before 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:01.439 we've got a 12 phase power design on this board 12 phases for the CPU itself 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.280 and then two phases for the uncore so they're really really serious about 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.879 providing a lot of power phases to every component of your system here all right 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.640 so let's have a look at the general layout of this board it's actually quite 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:18.319 similar to the ud6 so we've got our socket 1156 right where it belongs your 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:23.120 12 phase power is right here all around the CPU socket then you've got quite a 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:27.040 robust cooling solution for the whole board so from the 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.920 south bridge northbridge and mosfet areas are all adequately cooled with 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:36.080 kind of a funky funky uh design going on on the sides of all of 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:39.440 them that's kind of neat so your power connectors are right where they belong 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.879 with the 8 pin up at the top left and the 24 pin over on the right 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:48.400 and you've got dual channel ddr3 memory like all p55 boards now that's one 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.200 feature again that is missing from the ud6 when you step down to the ud5 is you 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:59.599 don't have those extra two memory slots okay so let's have a look 00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:02.959 at the PCIe layout so this is a PCIe 16x 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.280 slot and this is a PCIe 16x physical but 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:10.800 8x electrical now both of these can be run in 8x 8x mode for sli or crossfire 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.319 this one down at the bottom is only a 4x slot and it runs off the chipset so you 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:20.080 can't use it for sli or crossfire functionality so we've got onboard clear 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:24.000 cmos on board power and reset switches 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.400 here and then we've got our 10 10 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.120 SATA ii ports on the back and now let's just have a look at the back io so here 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:36.720 we go we've got a ps2 mouse keyboard combo port then we've got one two three 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.360 four five six ten usb ports two of which 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:44.560 are usb esata combo ports i really like to see those those are cool then we've 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.959 got digital audio out firewire we have 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:52.000 two gigabit ethernets and then we have 7.1 audio and oh yeah we've got power 00:03:50.400 --> 00:04:00.080 circuitry on the back but not quite as much as on the ud6 so thank you for 00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.080 checking out the p55 ud5 from Gigabyte
