1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:09,440
okay so today I'm going to be having a quick look at the ASUS p7p 55 de Pro so

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:17,359
this is an updated version of The Old p7p 55d Pro and by old I mean new but

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:24,039
not quite old enough to include or too old to include Okay blah blah blah true

4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,119
USB 3.0 and true SATA 6 gbit per second

5
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:29,240
bam that is your big selling point for this and a lot of the other new p-55

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,719
boards that have been coming out I mean I know the P5 5 launch wasn't that long

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,239
ago but because these two new technologies are so important many of

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:42,320
the motherboard manufacturers are releasing new boards so they can get on

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,640
board with those Technologies right away so let's go through what is special

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,360
about this board hybrid technology includes their easy tune overclocking

11
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:55,239
Express gate uh Linux operating system blippy bloopy whatever okay hybrid

12
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:59,640
processor turbo V Evo okay OC blah blah okay okay here we go thermal probe so

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,799
they have temperature probes in all of the regulator modules that will adjust

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,799
for the power load as well as the temperature to ensure that you're always

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,920
getting the best performance possible out of them okay next one is the true

16
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:17,240
USB 3.0 and true SATA 6 gbit per second performance that is very cool obviously

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:22,320
and then next is any memories AOK so it's their memo technology that allows

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,680
you to post even with overclocked sort of memory modules now I'm going to use

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,079
this chair as a substitute for a real cameraman here and adjust it so we can

20
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:35,399
have a look at the motherboard while we box okay so there is the board box

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:39,000
itself let's get this open okay so the first thing we have here is the io

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:44,479
Shield it's say one of those new stylish black aisle Shields and you can see

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,040
they've clearly marked the two USB 3.0

24
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:51,840
ports with a white box around them that's kind of handy because if you're looking for those it's nice to have them

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:58,039
well marked okay then we have a USB and esap there that is awesome I am so tired

26
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:03,079
of seeing like USB fire wire combo ports I mean who uses fire wire anyway USB

27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,840
eada ASUS has it figured out all right there is an IDE cable so they've got it

28
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:10,560
less figured out there's still IDE but what can you do and we have an SLI

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Bridge so you can assume that this is an SLI supporting board okay we've got

30
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,120
their Q connector technology and then we have four SATA cables they are black and

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:26,599
they are straight and right angled there's two of each okay then we have

32
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,160
the users guide as well as a driver DVD

33
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:32,360
do not use this download the latest drivers and

34
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,120
well sorry about that my memory card actually filled up while I was in the

35
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,560
middle of my unboxing so here is the user guide as well as the driver DVD

36
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:44,480
don't use that etc etc and then we have the ASUS Q design and DIY features where

37
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:51,239
they're basically giving you a quick rundown of all of the cool features that

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,040
it has so it has a CPU socket wow okay

39
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:58,200
it has memo K we already talked about that so there's no need to go into that

40
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,560
any further qm is an outof boox idea for

41
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,680
easy installation basically that means that when you're installing memory

42
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,400
modules in this board there's only a connector on one side very cool I'll

43
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:13,120
show you more about that in a moment Q slot is the new retaining mechanism that

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,599
ASUS has designed to make removing board um

45
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,879
removing video cards very very easy you can use the pencil eraser okay qled H

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,000
that's not really very cool okay overvolt switches this is neat so there's a Hardware switch to actually

47
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,159
enable overvolting features and vertical SATA ports have been around for a

48
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,640
million year so we're not too concerned about that and easy RAM overclocking

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,400
modes okay well those have been around for a while too so you're like two for

50
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:46,560
six anyway good job ASUS okay so let's get the board itself

51
00:03:42,519 --> 00:03:51,000
out here so here is the p7p

52
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,360
55d Das e Pro there we go so why don't

53
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,840
we do a quick rundown of the overall feature set of this particular

54
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:00,159
motherboard I'm going to move my camera back a little bit and adjust it so that

55
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:05,400
you can have a look here so first of all here's your LGA 1156 socket that you'll

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,319
find on all p55 boards here is your dual Channel DDR3 memory and this is the Q

57
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:12,640
dim thing they were talking about you can see that on this side these aren't

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,239
actually Clips like here have a look from the side uh if I can get that in

59
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,680
there yeah these are not Clips so you basically just slide the module in from

60
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:25,400
this side and then open up the clip put it in and then clip it in very cool

61
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,919
feature actually okay so here is their uh 16 phase Hybrid Power which is

62
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,320
actually 12 plus 2 phases okay and then you've got your 24 pin power connector

63
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,919
as well as your eight pin power connector in their optimal locations at

64
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,600
the edge and top of the board respectively let's have a look at the

65
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,840
PCI Express layout so if you were going to use Crossfire or SLI on this

66
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:51,680
motherboard which you could you would be left with an additional PCIe a PCI and

67
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,840
another PCIe 1X so that's a pretty ideal

68
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,160
layout given that most of the expansion cards these days are moving towards PCI

69
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Express this isn't a premium premium board so you're not going to find any on

70
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:05,400
board power buttons or uh four pin CPU

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,639
or sorry not CPU four pin fan headers or any of that kind of fancy stuff but it

72
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,280
is still fairly featur Rich As far as the overclocking features go so actually

73
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:20,039
you know what let's have a look okay let's have a quick look these are our

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
SATA 6 gabit per second ports so all of

75
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:27,639
the blue ones are SATA 2 or SATA 3.0 gbit per second and then these gray ones

76
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000
down here are SATA 3 gbit per second I think we've covered most of the featur

77
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,080
on the front of the board oh yeah here's the memo K button in case you were

78
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,840
wondering and here's your little dip switch to overvolt the RAM that's also

79
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:44,120
pretty cool wow that's really hard to press they don't want you pressing that by accident that's for sure here's a

80
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,160
quick look at the vrm cooling solution I kind of like these it kind of like

81
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:52,400
they're kind of ice Fortress for lack of a better word anyway here is the back of

82
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:56,720
the board the moment you've all been waiting for you got PS2 ports and

83
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:03,319
they're back to two PS2 ports on this board then we have six SATA or six SATA

84
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,120
six USB ports 2.0 and then we have two

85
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:10,840
digital audio ports we've got a fire wire and an eat and then we have gigabit

86
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:16,759
Ethernet and 7.1 Audio Oh wait there's more USB 3.0 there they are so USB 3.0

87
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:21,199
is up to 5 gabit per second so you're looking at maxing out any hard drive

88
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:26,080
with a USB 3.0 connection which makes it actually faster than e SAT 2 which is

89
00:06:24,039 --> 00:06:33,960
very very cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ASUS p7p 55 5d- e

90
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,160
Deluxe or something like that 55d e pro thank you
