so continuing with our recent theme of doing uh unboxings of p55 motherboards
we've got the Gigabyte p55m ud4 now you
can see from the front it's got smart six a three year warranty and ultra
durable three which means a two ounce copper pcb along with these other
features you can you can read about them we also have support for dolby home
theater ati crossfire x and NVIDIA sli so let's
uh get to the accessory package here we
have four SATA cables and one ide cable
then we've got an sli bridge
then we've got an i o plate
we have the user's manual
and then we've got the driver and application dvd then we have a
multilingual installation guide book so this is guiding you through the physical
installation more like a quick guide than a full user manual here's your
smart six user's manual and my phone is ringing that's okay all
right so now let's get down to the board just pulling out my uh oh what you'll
notice about this first compared to all the other p55 boards that we've looked
at so far is that it is actually a micro atx board so that means it is shorter
but you have quite a complete feature set and it looks a lot like a high-end
board so we've got a multi-phase power solution around the socket 1156 and then
you've got quite a robust cooling solution on the mosfet so i'll get kind
of a nice angle on that there it's kind of neat and aztec looking and then up at
the top left corner and it's rightful place is the eight pin power connector
along with the 24 pin over on the top right corner
like all p55 boards it supports dual channel ddr3 RAM but unlike all p55
boards you've got support for 8x 8x pci
express sli and crossfire which is great to see on a micro atx board it's the
first one we've looked at like that now again keeping in with the high end
feature theme we've got onboard power reset and clear cmos switches and then
we have seven SATA ports it seems like a weird number but when we look at the
back plate here you'll see why because on the back we have one of those e SATA
and usb combo ports so that's where your other SATA port is now then we've got a
ps2 mouse keyboard combo port 10 overall
usb ports digital audio firewire gigabit
Ethernet and 7.1 audio so thank you for checking out the uh yeah i forget the
name again p55m ud4
