00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120
So, an exciting new thing came in the mail today. We have our second P-55

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.599
board, the P-55 UD4P. This is an ATX

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.120
sort of uh mainstream gaming platform board from Gigabyte. You can see it

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:15.839
features ultra durable 3, which basically ensures that you're going to

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.279
have good power delivery when you're overclocking or gaming or doing whatever

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.519
it is you do with a reasonably high-end board. Now, speaking of reasonably

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

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.920
upcoming Core i5 and the new socket 1156

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.399
Core i7. So, let's get into the accessories. We've got an IDE cable,

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:39.200
four SATA cables, comes in a little package like that. Then, we have a uh

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.399
Dolby home theater sticker. So, there's some kind of Dolby certification going

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:49.039
along with this board. Uh flexible SLI bridge, so it has SLI support. Then,

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:54.079
we've got an installation guide book for installing your motherboard, the regular

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:56.239
users manual, and we've got a driver CD

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.800
included in the front cover of that. Then, you've got your IO shield. Then

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.439
you've got a manual for smart 6 gigabytes monitoring software. Then

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.760
you've got a manual for smart TPM, some kind of

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:12.080
um okay, some Bluetooth cell phone.

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

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:21.360
interesting parts. We've got the Gigabyte P45 UD4P. So let's pull this

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

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.240
boards, we've got support for up to 16

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:39.439
gigs of dual channel DDR3 memory. You've got an 1156 LG 1156 socket. And then

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.680
you've got an 8phase power distribution

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.600
system for the CPU itself surrounded by these uh pretty cool looking coolers.

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.600
Now, this is a bit of a departure from Gigabyte normal color scheme in that

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.280
there's only like three colors. So, we've got the dark blue PCB, very

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:58.479
characteristic. Then we've got white ports, blue ports, and that's about it.

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

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.600
an IDE connector. We've got a floppy connector. And here's some of the more

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:15.360
interesting stuff. We've got support for two 16x cards in SLI, but each of them

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.599
gets 8x bandwidth. So SLI or Crossfire

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.

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

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.040
of 10 USB ports, but two of them are these cool

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:35.480
USB/ESATA ports. That's really neat. So, you can plug in either an ESATA hard

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:41.040
drive or a USB device. You've got FireWire, digital audio, a couple

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.160
Ethernet ports, and seven channel audio.

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:48.920
So, there it is. The EP 55, oh, sorry,

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:48.920
EP, the P-55 UD4P.
