WEBVTT 00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:09.280 okay so we're continuing our coverage of the entire MSI p55 lineup this is our 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:12.719 last video with the p55 gd80 this is 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:14.000 their flagship p55 board you can tell 00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:19.920 because it actually oh there goes another pure later truck crying out loud 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.800 it's like five minutes apart okay you can tell because the extreme speed is 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.320 actually shiny they have a better quality box as the cameraman pointed out 00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:30.640 to me so let's get this thing open 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.160 here we go so starting with the quick guide 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.840 this is actually a pretty nice looking uh little quick guide that shows you 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 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.120 but we thought it was a pretty cool addition it's in like eight different 00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:52.800 languages which is pretty sweet okay so here we go this is a huge accessory 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.079 package so we've got okay uh crossfire 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:58.559 bridge here we'll just go through these in order crossfire bridge we have a huge 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 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 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:13.760 cds hard drive backup user guide here's 00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:19.040 the quick installation guide then MSI winky again okay MSI winky then we've 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.360 got the oc genie um guide as well and then the regular 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.439 motherboard manual so there you go there's a lot of stuff on that side and 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.840 then we've got an esata bracket along with um 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.439 with a SATA to molex power adapter that's pretty cool 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 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.520 voltage readouts right from your motherboard so we'll show you what these 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.960 plug into in just a minute those are really cool though then we've got these 00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:51.600 little bricks so that you can easily plug things into them and then plug the 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.880 entire brick right into the board tons of SATA cables a bunch of molex to 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 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:08.319 package that comes with this board very impressive so here we have it the gd80 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 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.720 box here and uh if i could just figure out how to 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:20.080 do that then we'd be moving right along there we go 00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.319 more trucks going by we really didn't choose this location very well that was 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.560 um bad planning but there you go so we've got oc genie sticker and the 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.519 extreme speed which includes dr moss and the super pipe super pipe basically 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.959 means that it's got a ridiculously thick heat pipe running from the chipset up to 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.400 the dr moss mosfets if you actually look from this angle you can see just how 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.959 huge this thing is it's kind of ridiculous so then other than that 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:51.280 you've got your usual stuff for a p55 motherboard so you've got your four 00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:55.280 dimms your lga 1156 socket and i shouldn't say oh yeah i should say p55 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 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 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 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.720 eight SATA ports we've got our base clock adjustment buttons and then a 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.000 couple features that this has that are unique our a the lcd readout here so 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.000 that's your postcode and then these are actually touch sensitive power reset and 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 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 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:36.720 overclocking guide that we'll be releasing for the p55 and the new lga 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.400 1156 core i5 and core i7 cpus now last 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.360 thing about this board let's talk about the expansion ports a little bit so 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.560 we've got three pci e16x slots but only 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 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 00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:56.959 ps2 digital audio firewire a couple usb 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 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 gd 80.
