00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.560
okay so today I'm unboxing another part of gigabytes updated p-55 lineup so

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

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:20.600
and what that stands for is their new 333 onboard acceleration blah blah blah

00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:24.119
basically USB 3.0 SATA 3 or SATA 6 GB

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.720
pers second and also power 3x so what

00:00:24.119 --> 00:00:31.840
that means is they've up the power in their USB ports to three times the

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:34.440
specification laid out by the governing

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.280
bodies that specify that sort of thing and what that means is that even if you

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

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

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:51.520
included with this board we've got an IDE cable uh four SATA cables then we

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

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.399
then we have a Dolby Home Theater sticker then we have the io Shield

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.280
nicely cut coded for you there well looks like we got a couple eat ports on

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

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.720
you those in a minute driver CD don't use this download the latest drivers the

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

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.560
ud4p although I couldn't tell you the difference between those boards off the

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:28.240
top of my head there are smart 6 user guide smart TPM user guide and

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.960
multilingual installation guide book in black and white awesome okay okay so

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

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:45.880
features of this board versus the older p55 ud4p are obviously the SATA 3 as

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

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:55.680
similar looking to the older board but let's start with the basics so here's

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:58.000
your CPU socket now this is a Loz hold

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.920
down here and those have become more popular because there was a there's a a

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.240
bit of a thing going on with the foxcon ones that people were complaining that

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.479
under very high overclocking conditions it might burn out your pins and so there

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.640
they are adapting to that kind of a change in the market conditions here you

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

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:24.120
old ud4p which was an 8-phase power design here's our little cover on their

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.200
kind of Aztec looking sort of North Bridge heat sink and then we've got

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

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

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.200
powered by the Intel chipset okay so

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

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:51.599
kidding okay so here we've got our PCI and PCI Express expansion ports these

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:55.760
two are SLI ready you can run them at 8X

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.120
8X PCI Express 2.0 and then let's see

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:04.840
what else do we have here we've got our usual support for up to excuse

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.480
me eight 16 gigs of DDR3 then we have

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

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

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

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.760
combo USB H sorry combo USB combo PS2

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:29.959
mouse or keyboard Port few people are using both PS2 keyboard and mouse but

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

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:40.080
2.0 2.0 3.0 so these are the fast ones

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:46.959
these are the ones that are running at five uh gigabit per second 5 gigabit 500

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

00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:57.599
second I'm having it 5 gigabit per second off night folks anyway we got a

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:02.560
couple gigabit land ports and then a couple ESAT ports a couple firewire

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

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

00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:15.280
ud4p that was painful
