00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:08.080
so we finally have the whole lineup of p-55 boards from MSI now we already

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

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:16.000
the p-55 CD 53 now you'll notice that

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

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:24.640
because this is their mainstream series

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

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:35.079
it's a mainstream or Classic series board so let's get this box open here

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.360
and see what we can find inside so

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

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:47.079
your drivers and utilities MSI extras user guide quick installation guide OC

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

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

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

00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:04.920
okay then we got a floppy cable IO cover couple SATA cables an IDE cable nothing

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:10.479
particularly exciting on the accessory front you can tell this is a lower-end

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.960
board than the gd65 and the gd80 so now

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:17.920
let's get the board out of the anti-static baggie here if I can get

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

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

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

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.320
ports PS2 gabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio

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

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.399
board so you've got your 1 second overclocking OC Genie let's get that

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

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.920
layout is otherwise very similar including down here we've got the OC

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:01.520
Genie button right there we've got an onboard power button which is very

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.719
exciting to see on such a an entrylevel sort of price point board you've also

00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:10.000
got your base clock adjustment buttons here which we did a Blog video showing

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

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

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:22.879
are off the J Micron chipset that also Powers the IDE port your power ports are

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.840
in their ideal locations along the right hand edge of the board and up at the

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:33.840
very top left corner and then here you've got your typical LGA 1150 6

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:37.560
socket you can put four dims of DDR3 memory and this board even at this low

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

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

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.959
we've got Dr Moss and there you have it that is the p55

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.640
