00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.240
today we're checking out the EVGA p55 SLI so this is not their highest end

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:12.400
p-55 board but it's no slouch either so you do get support for pretty much the

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:19.600
full p55 feature set so you got Crossfire SLI um pretty good VM solution

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:23.599
all of that stuff now this is positioned just under there for the wind board so

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:27.359
there are some things that are missing I'm just going to get this out here it's

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.480
actually a very similar looking board though so here we go let's let's get

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.160
into the accessory pack package so we got our driver CD okay then we've got

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.800
what seems to be uh the same guide that they had with the for the wind board

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.039
maybe a couple slight differences so that's your your getting started guide

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.719
and oh no it is different it is different it has just this board on it

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:50.079
so there you go there's your quick start visual guide uh this is totally going to

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:55.440
get blown away here so just just a sec ah the wind's coming okay so then we've

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.719
got a Molex teda adapter and two SATA

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:02.160
cables so quite a lot less in terms of accessory package here then we've got

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:07.200
two USB and one fire wire port on a little PCI bracket okay so let's take

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:11.920
out this uh divider here okay more accessories so there's our black

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.200
flexible SLI Bridge there's our IO

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.759
Shield got that padding on the back of it that's a kind of a new thing uh then

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.079
we've got our motherboard manual uh yep not really anything

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.000
particularly interesting about that all right let's get the board out here cuz

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.600
that's the uh that's what you folks are paying to see not that anyone really

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:34.520
pays to watch videos on YouTube but whatever okay so there we've got our

00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:39.200
desicant package in there that keeps your board nice and dry

00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:42.799
and safe during Transportation okay let's get into the board so some major

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:47.280
differences between this and the classified right off the top we don't

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.680
have support for that little uh that little breakout with all the power reset

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:55.960
clear seos all that stuff so you'll actually find all the buttons on board

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.960
here there's your reset power clear seos there's your uh your post screen your

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:03.560
debug screen all that kind of stuff um

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:08.440
let me have a look you've got that same little uh lit designer sort of thing

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.840
there that's really cool and then I really liked this on the for the wind

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:16.800
board you've got your little step-by-step guide on how to install the

00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:20.160
CPU right on top of the CPU socket very

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.120
neat 3 2 1 done okay then we've got

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.800
support for the usual dual Channel DDR3 memory so you can see that here the

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.519
color scheme of this board is kind of all black and gray so it's a very high

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.440
performance sort of looking color scheme another big difference here when we look

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:40.400
at the power connectors is this board has only one8 pin connector the for the

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.440
wind board actually has two so you can deliver ridiculous amounts of current to

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.480
your CPU the 24 pin you'll find on the

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:51.319
right hand edge of the board just exactly where it's supposed to be and

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:56.159
then let's see what else we've got here can peel off this sticker ah there's a

00:02:53.720 --> 00:03:00.519
nice uh brushed aluminum finish on that chipset heat sink I really like to see

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.560
that then we've got six SATA port all on the edge of the board exactly

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.560
where they need to be and let's have a look at the uh at the io here so we've

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:11.480
got 1 2 3 4 only six USB ports on the

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:16.599
back but they did give you that IO panel thing we've got our digital audio clar

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:18.840
seos button a PS2 keyboard Port then we

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:24.080
have a couple of EA ports one firewire port 2 GB Ethernet ports and 7.1 audio

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.640
anyway thank you for checking out my blog on evga's p55 motherboard
