00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,560
okay so today I'm unboxing another part of gigabytes updated p-55 lineup so

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:12,759
they've kind of renamed some of their older boards they put an A in the title

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:20,600
and what that stands for is their new 333 onboard acceleration blah blah blah

4
00:00:15,879 --> 00:00:24,119
basically USB 3.0 SATA 3 or SATA 6 GB

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,720
pers second and also power 3x so what

6
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:31,840
that means is they've up the power in their USB ports to three times the

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,440
specification laid out by the governing

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,280
bodies that specify that sort of thing and what that means is that even if you

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,399
plug in three devices to one port you won't run out of power like if you're

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,520
using a hub like a non-powered hub okay so let's have a look at the accessories

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:51,520
included with this board we've got an IDE cable uh four SATA cables then we

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:56,600
have an SLI Bridge it's a flexible SLI Bridge we have a Gigabyte K sticker okay

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,399
then we have a Dolby Home Theater sticker then we have the io Shield

14
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,280
nicely cut coded for you there well looks like we got a couple eat ports on

15
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:09,439
this board and there we go it even labels the USB 3.0 ports but I'll show

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:13,720
you those in a minute driver CD don't use this download the latest drivers the

17
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:18,960
usual deal then you've got the manual this is for the p55a ud4 as well as the

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,560
ud4p although I couldn't tell you the difference between those boards off the

19
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:28,240
top of my head there are smart 6 user guide smart TPM user guide and

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,960
multilingual installation guide book in black and white awesome okay okay so

21
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:38,280
then we take out the mid plate and let's get to the board itself I mean the big

22
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:45,880
features of this board versus the older p55 ud4p are obviously the SATA 3 as

23
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:50,240
well as USB 3.0 but those aren't the only features present so it's quite

24
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:55,680
similar looking to the older board but let's start with the basics so here's

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,000
your CPU socket now this is a Loz hold

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,920
down here and those have become more popular because there was a there's a a

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,240
bit of a thing going on with the foxcon ones that people were complaining that

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,479
under very high overclocking conditions it might burn out your pins and so there

29
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,640
they are adapting to that kind of a change in the market conditions here you

30
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:19,239
can see we've got our 12 phase power design they've upped the anti from the

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,120
old ud4p which was an 8-phase power design here's our little cover on their

32
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,200
kind of Aztec looking sort of North Bridge heat sink and then we've got

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:34,200
another cooler on a couple of chips down here we've also got our are SATA 3.0

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:40,239
those are the white ports the other six are just SATA 2.0 ports and those are

35
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,200
powered by the Intel chipset okay so

36
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,159
last but not Le oh no we're not even close to the end of this I'm just

37
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:51,599
kidding okay so here we've got our PCI and PCI Express expansion ports these

38
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,760
two are SLI ready you can run them at 8X

39
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:57,120
8X PCI Express 2.0 and then let's see

40
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:04,840
what else do we have here we've got our usual support for up to excuse

41
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:07,480
me eight 16 gigs of DDR3 then we have

42
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:12,360
our power here this is our 24 pin and then our 8 Pin power over on the top

43
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:17,319
left of the board now let's get around to the back side of the board the io

44
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:23,480
Shield so there we have one of those I love these These are fantastic it is a

45
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:25,760
combo USB H sorry combo USB combo PS2

46
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,959
mouse or keyboard Port few people are using both PS2 keyboard and mouse but

47
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:38,560
it's nice to have one port then we have a boatload of USB ports USB 2.0 2.0 2.8

48
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,080
2.0 2.0 3.0 so these are the fast ones

49
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,959
these are the ones that are running at five uh gigabit per second 5 gigabit 500

50
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,680
megabit per second wow I'm not I'm having a bit of an off 5 megabit per

51
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:57,599
second I'm having it 5 gigabit per second off night folks anyway we got a

52
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:02,560
couple gigabit land ports and then a couple ESAT ports a couple firewire

53
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:07,760
ports a couple digital audio ports and then 7.1 audio ports and it is late and

54
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:15,280
I'm going to go to bed and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p55a

55
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,280
ud4p that was painful
