1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:09,280
okay so we're continuing our coverage of the entire MSI p55 lineup this is our

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,719
last video with the p55 gd80 this is

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,000
their flagship p55 board you can tell

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:19,920
because it actually oh there goes another pure later truck crying out loud

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,800
it's like five minutes apart okay you can tell because the extreme speed is

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,320
actually shiny they have a better quality box as the cameraman pointed out

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,640
to me so let's get this thing open

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,160
here we go so starting with the quick guide

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:37,840
this is actually a pretty nice looking uh little quick guide that shows you

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,399
everything about this board i mean we're gonna show you the board in a minute so we don't need to spend much time on this

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,120
but we thought it was a pretty cool addition it's in like eight different

12
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:52,800
languages which is pretty sweet okay so here we go this is a huge accessory

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,079
package so we've got okay uh crossfire

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,559
bridge here we'll just go through these in order crossfire bridge we have a huge

15
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:05,360
sli bridge that's the longest sli bridge i've seen we have two more sli bridges

16
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:11,119
okay and we've got an i o shield we've got your usual drivers and MSI extras

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,760
cds hard drive backup user guide here's

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:19,040
the quick installation guide then MSI winky again okay MSI winky then we've

19
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:23,360
got the oc genie um guide as well and then the regular

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,439
motherboard manual so there you go there's a lot of stuff on that side and

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,840
then we've got an esata bracket along with um

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,439
with a SATA to molex power adapter that's pretty cool

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,320
and then we've got oh this is neat this is the little adapters to do the direct

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,520
voltage readouts right from your motherboard so we'll show you what these

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,960
plug into in just a minute those are really cool though then we've got these

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,600
little bricks so that you can easily plug things into them and then plug the

27
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,880
entire brick right into the board tons of SATA cables a bunch of molex to

28
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:02,320
SATA adapters ide cable and then we've got a usb io panel it's a huge accessory

29
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:08,319
package that comes with this board very impressive so here we have it the gd80

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,680
this is the cream of the cream for MSI's p55 motherboards let's get it out of the

31
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,720
box here and uh if i could just figure out how to

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,080
do that then we'd be moving right along there we go

33
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,319
more trucks going by we really didn't choose this location very well that was

34
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,560
um bad planning but there you go so we've got oc genie sticker and the

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,519
extreme speed which includes dr moss and the super pipe super pipe basically

36
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,959
means that it's got a ridiculously thick heat pipe running from the chipset up to

37
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,400
the dr moss mosfets if you actually look from this angle you can see just how

38
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,959
huge this thing is it's kind of ridiculous so then other than that

39
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:51,280
you've got your usual stuff for a p55 motherboard so you've got your four

40
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,280
dimms your lga 1156 socket and i shouldn't say oh yeah i should say p55

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:00,080
but you can't just say core i5 because there is a core i7 or a couple models of

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,239
core i7s for this socket so then we've got our power connector up here for the

43
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,879
8 pin and then way over here for the 24 pin in their usual locations we've got

44
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,720
eight SATA ports we've got our base clock adjustment buttons and then a

45
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:18,000
couple features that this has that are unique our a the lcd readout here so

46
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,000
that's your postcode and then these are actually touch sensitive power reset and

47
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,440
green power buttons i'm not sure what green power does yet but we'll get into

48
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,599
that more later in our overclocking guide actually this is the first time i've referenced it we do have an

49
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,720
overclocking guide that we'll be releasing for the p55 and the new lga

50
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,400
1156 core i5 and core i7 cpus now last

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,360
thing about this board let's talk about the expansion ports a little bit so

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,560
we've got three pci e16x slots but only

53
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,440
two of them are going to be actually running at 16x one of them should be a

54
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:55,519
4x slot and then on the back we've got our i o so you can see here we've got

55
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,959
ps2 digital audio firewire a couple usb

56
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:03,360
and then we've got one of those neat esata usb combo ports a few more usb 2

57
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:09,360
gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio thank you for checking out my blog on the MSI p55

00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
