1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:08,080
so we finally have the whole lineup of p-55 boards from MSI now we already

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:14,240
showed you the g65 when I got my early review sample now let's take a look at

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,000
the p-55 CD 53 now you'll notice that

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:22,480
the Box color is a little bit different from the gd65 and the gd80 and that's

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,640
because this is their mainstream series

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,679
okay so it has a c in the title and it's a green box that's how you can tell that

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:35,079
it's a mainstream or Classic series board so let's get this box open here

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,360
and see what we can find inside so

9
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:42,000
you've got a still pretty good accessory package so you got your CD you've got

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:47,079
your drivers and utilities MSI extras user guide quick installation guide OC

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,879
Genie manual that's cool the one I had didn't come with a manual for that so I

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,480
still don't know what it does uh winky is also included which is I didn't know

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,600
last time here's the manual but winky is like an instant on feature for the board

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,920
okay then we got a floppy cable IO cover couple SATA cables an IDE cable nothing

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,479
particularly exciting on the accessory front you can tell this is a lower-end

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,960
board than the gd65 and the gd80 so now

17
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:17,920
let's get the board out of the anti-static baggie here if I can get

18
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:25,240
this tape to release on the back there we go and here we have it the p55 cd65

19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,920
so let's have a look at the I/O shield first so we don't have any ESAT we don't

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:36,640
have any digital audio it's a far more barebones board but we do have 10 USB

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,320
ports PS2 gabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,479
and then let's have a look at the expansion slots that we've got on this

23
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,399
board so you've got your 1 second overclocking OC Genie let's get that

24
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:52,600
sticker off so we've got three PCI three PCI e1x and a PCI e6x slot now the

25
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:56,920
layout is otherwise very similar including down here we've got the OC

26
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:01,520
Genie button right there we've got an onboard power button which is very

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,719
exciting to see on such a an entrylevel sort of price point board you've also

28
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,000
got your base clock adjustment buttons here which we did a Blog video showing

29
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:14,480
the uh the use for then you've got your chipset uh heat sink eight SATA ports if

30
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,360
I can just get the camera around here so these are off the South Bridge and these

31
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,879
are off the J Micron chipset that also Powers the IDE port your power ports are

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,840
in their ideal locations along the right hand edge of the board and up at the

33
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:33,840
very top left corner and then here you've got your typical LGA 1150 6

34
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:37,560
socket you can put four dims of DDR3 memory and this board even at this low

35
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:44,000
price point wow there's a truck going past there's a pure leader truck headed to our uh warehouse behind me here so

36
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,959
I'm going to have to speak pretty loudly I think or maybe we'll just wrap it up

37
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:53,959
we've got Dr Moss and there you have it that is the p55

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,640
cd53 motherboard from MSI thanks for watching
