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

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:10.559
out it's the assus p7 p55 dle now le can

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:14.200
mean any number of things in this case I'm pretty sure it means late edition

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

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

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.240
overclocking software memo K is actually one of the more unique features we'll

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

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

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.719
use to plug your individual pins into then plug the whole thing into the board

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:42.800
the easy connector or something like that you've got an ID cable two SATA

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.160
cables and a manual with the uh DVD

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.840
inside so you can see it's actually a very very basic accessory package with

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

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

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

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

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.520
have one two three screw holes and it

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

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

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:21.479
general layout we've got our 24 pin connector over on the right Edge exactly

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.799
where we want it support for dual Channel DDR3 memory like all p-55 boards

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

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

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

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.880
ports but we don't have support for Crossfire or SLI on this particular

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:20.640
audio so actually a pretty good uh a pretty good IO Port thing here oh yeah

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

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.640
basically memo K you press this button and the board will default to super

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:33.280
loose super non-aggressive timings for the RAM so you can make sure that you

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

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.480
you for checking out my blog on the p7p 55d L
