1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
So, an exciting new thing came in the mail today. We have our second P-55

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,599
board, the P-55 UD4P. This is an ATX

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:13,120
sort of uh mainstream gaming platform board from Gigabyte. You can see it

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,839
features ultra durable 3, which basically ensures that you're going to

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,279
have good power delivery when you're overclocking or gaming or doing whatever

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:23,519
it is you do with a reasonably high-end board. Now, speaking of reasonably

7
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,160
high-end board, this is an 1156 board. So, that means it's got support for the

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,920
upcoming Core i5 and the new socket 1156

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,399
Core i7. So, let's get into the accessories. We've got an IDE cable,

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:39,200
four SATA cables, comes in a little package like that. Then, we have a uh

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,399
Dolby home theater sticker. So, there's some kind of Dolby certification going

12
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:49,039
along with this board. Uh flexible SLI bridge, so it has SLI support. Then,

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:54,079
we've got an installation guide book for installing your motherboard, the regular

14
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,239
users manual, and we've got a driver CD

15
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,800
included in the front cover of that. Then, you've got your IO shield. Then

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,439
you've got a manual for smart 6 gigabytes monitoring software. Then

17
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,760
you've got a manual for smart TPM, some kind of

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,080
um okay, some Bluetooth cell phone.

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,880
Okay, we'll get to that later. Uh then let's get down to the uh the more

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,360
interesting parts. We've got the Gigabyte P45 UD4P. So let's pull this

21
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:29,280
board out of the packaging here and have a closer look at it. So, like most P-55

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,240
boards, we've got support for up to 16

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:39,439
gigs of dual channel DDR3 memory. You've got an 1156 LG 1156 socket. And then

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,680
you've got an 8phase power distribution

25
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,600
system for the CPU itself surrounded by these uh pretty cool looking coolers.

26
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,600
Now, this is a bit of a departure from Gigabyte normal color scheme in that

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,280
there's only like three colors. So, we've got the dark blue PCB, very

28
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,479
characteristic. Then we've got white ports, blue ports, and that's about it.

29
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:03,759
We've got SATA 2. You've got your power connectors in the usual spots. We've got

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,600
an IDE connector. We've got a floppy connector. And here's some of the more

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:15,360
interesting stuff. We've got support for two 16x cards in SLI, but each of them

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,599
gets 8x bandwidth. So SLI or Crossfire

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:22,400
can both plug into those things. And let's have a look at the IO ports here.

34
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,280
So, if I can get you to have a look. Okay, so we've got 10 USB ports. Total

35
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,040
of 10 USB ports, but two of them are these cool

36
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:35,480
USB/ESATA ports. That's really neat. So, you can plug in either an ESATA hard

37
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:41,040
drive or a USB device. You've got FireWire, digital audio, a couple

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,160
Ethernet ports, and seven channel audio.

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,920
So, there it is. The EP 55, oh, sorry,

40
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,920
EP, the P-55 UD4P.
