1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:08,760
so we've got another p-55 board here today that we're going to be checking

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:10,559
out it's the assus p7 p55 dle now le can

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,200
mean any number of things in this case I'm pretty sure it means late edition

4
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:17,480
you've got a lot of the basic features that you're going to want so you've got

5
00:00:15,639 --> 00:00:22,760
your 8 phase power you've got support for what is it their uh memo K turbo V

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,240
overclocking software memo K is actually one of the more unique features we'll

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,160
talk about that in a bit so inside we've got our IO Shield got like the padding

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,879
on the back that's kind of neat you've got these little uh ports that you can

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,719
use to plug your individual pins into then plug the whole thing into the board

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,800
the easy connector or something like that you've got an ID cable two SATA

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,160
cables and a manual with the uh DVD

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,840
inside so you can see it's actually a very very basic accessory package with

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,440
this board so let's take out the divider here and get that out of the way and

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:58,640
let's take out the actual board itself so this is one of the lower-end boards

15
00:00:55,879 --> 00:01:03,039
in ASUS's p55 lineup so let's go ahead and put that down there you can see it's

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,240
actually a little bit on the narrow side so normally you'd see that a board will

17
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,520
have one two three screw holes and it

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,280
would actually be a little bit wider so this is a narrow board it helps them save on cost and it helps them keep a

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,920
cleaner layout gives you a little bit more space to work in so let's do the

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,479
general layout we've got our 24 pin connector over on the right Edge exactly

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,799
where we want it support for dual Channel DDR3 memory like all p-55 boards

22
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:30,680
here's our LGA 1156 socket and here's our eight-phase power design up at the

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,200
top of the board you can see you've got an 8 Pin power connector for the CPU

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:41,079
right there and then let's have a look so you've got a couple of PCI Express

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,880
ports but we don't have support for Crossfire or SLI on this particular

26
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:48,759
board this is kind of a neat looking heat sink here it's uh very unique I

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,280
actually kind of like the look of this board to be honest uh we've got six SATA

28
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,159
connectors so if I can just get the cameraman to have a look so two right angle ones and then four of the more

29
00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:00,920
classic style that comes right out of the board and let's have a look at our

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,799
rear panel I don't really like the color of this PCB I prefer to see it like a

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,560
jet black but it's not too bad looking actually okay we got two PS2 ports we've

32
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:16,680
got eight USB ports so one two and then we've got uh digital audio eeta and 7.1

33
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:20,640
audio so actually a pretty good uh a pretty good IO Port thing here oh yeah

34
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,440
let's talk about memo K yeah before you zoom out so that's the memo K button

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,640
basically memo K you press this button and the board will default to super

36
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,280
loose super non-aggressive timings for the RAM so you can make sure that you

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:37,120
can boot with any RAM no matter what the profile is on the memory itself so thank

38
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,480
you for checking out my blog on the p7p 55d L
