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

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

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:24.039
not quite old enough to include or too old to include Okay blah blah blah true

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.119
USB 3.0 and true SATA 6 gbit per second

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

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

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.239
ago but because these two new technologies are so important many of

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:42.320
the motherboard manufacturers are releasing new boards so they can get on

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.640
board with those Technologies right away so let's go through what is special

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:50.360
about this board hybrid technology includes their easy tune overclocking

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:55.239
Express gate uh Linux operating system blippy bloopy whatever okay hybrid

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:59.640
processor turbo V Evo okay OC blah blah okay okay here we go thermal probe so

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:04.799
they have temperature probes in all of the regulator modules that will adjust

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:07.799
for the power load as well as the temperature to ensure that you're always

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.920
getting the best performance possible out of them okay next one is the true

00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:17.240
USB 3.0 and true SATA 6 gbit per second performance that is very cool obviously

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:22.320
and then next is any memories AOK so it's their memo technology that allows

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.680
you to post even with overclocked sort of memory modules now I'm going to use

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:30.079
this chair as a substitute for a real cameraman here and adjust it so we can

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:35.399
have a look at the motherboard while we box okay so there is the board box

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

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:44.479
Shield it's say one of those new stylish black aisle Shields and you can see

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.040
they've clearly marked the two USB 3.0

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

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

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:03.079
of seeing like USB fire wire combo ports I mean who uses fire wire anyway USB

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

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

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.440
Bridge so you can assume that this is an SLI supporting board okay we've got

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:20.120
their Q connector technology and then we have four SATA cables they are black and

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:26.599
they are straight and right angled there's two of each okay then we have

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.160
the users guide as well as a driver DVD

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:32.360
do not use this download the latest drivers and

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.120
well sorry about that my memory card actually filled up while I was in the

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.560
middle of my unboxing so here is the user guide as well as the driver DVD

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

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:51.239
they're basically giving you a quick rundown of all of the cool features that

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.040
it has so it has a CPU socket wow okay

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

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:00.560
any further qm is an outof boox idea for

00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:03.680
easy installation basically that means that when you're installing memory

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.400
modules in this board there's only a connector on one side very cool I'll

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:13.120
show you more about that in a moment Q slot is the new retaining mechanism that

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.599
ASUS has designed to make removing board um

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:22.879
removing video cards very very easy you can use the pencil eraser okay qled H

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

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.159
enable overvolting features and vertical SATA ports have been around for a

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.640
million year so we're not too concerned about that and easy RAM overclocking

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

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:46.560
six anyway good job ASUS okay so let's get the board itself

00:03:42.519 --> 00:03:51.000
out here so here is the p7p

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.360
55d Das e Pro there we go so why don't

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.840
we do a quick rundown of the overall feature set of this particular

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

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

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

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:12.640
dim thing they were talking about you can see that on this side these aren't

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

00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:20.680
there yeah these are not Clips so you basically just slide the module in from

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

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.919
feature actually okay so here is their uh 16 phase Hybrid Power which is

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:34.320
actually 12 plus 2 phases okay and then you've got your 24 pin power connector

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.919
as well as your eight pin power connector in their optimal locations at

00:04:36.440 --> 00:04:41.600
the edge and top of the board respectively let's have a look at the

00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.840
PCI Express layout so if you were going to use Crossfire or SLI on this

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:51.680
motherboard which you could you would be left with an additional PCIe a PCI and

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.840
another PCIe 1X so that's a pretty ideal

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.160
layout given that most of the expansion cards these days are moving towards PCI

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

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:05.400
board power buttons or uh four pin CPU

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

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.280
is still fairly featur Rich As far as the overclocking features go so actually

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

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.000
SATA 6 gabit per second ports so all of

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

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

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

00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:38.840
wondering and here's your little dip switch to overvolt the RAM that's also

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

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:48.160
quick look at the vrm cooling solution I kind of like these it kind of like

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

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:56.720
the board the moment you've all been waiting for you got PS2 ports and

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

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:05.120
six USB ports 2.0 and then we have two

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:37.160
Deluxe or something like that 55d e pro thank you
