Okay, so today we've got the P7P 55D Pro. We actually can't get over to our
normal unboxing uh outside place because
uh there's some junk there. And so we're doing the unboxing on the hood of my
car. So here we go. We got the IO shield and then let's keep going with the
accessories here. We've got the users guide. Then we've got the uh DVD for
your drivers and your utilities, all that good stuff. Okay. Then we have an
ESATA USB IO bracket. Then we've got an
IDE cable. Then we've got their convenient Q connectnect. Then we have
four SATA ports. It's got four SATA ports. So four SATA cables. And now
let's get to the board itself here. So ASUS uses environmentally friendly uh no
foam packaging. So they have like no foam and no uh no packing peanuts,
nothing like that. It's all sort of cardboard. So, let's get the board
itself out. It's kind of a sharpl looking board. I can't say the color
scheme is my favorite, but it all sort of matches. So, let's start with what
we've got in terms of our ports. So, we've got three PCI Express 16x slots at
8X, 8X, and 4X. And please note that this one will run at 16x if there's
nothing installed here. As with all P-55 boards, we've got support for dual
channel DDR3 memory. You've got a fairly beefy 12 plus twophase power design,
which is really nice to see, especially because this board is a relatively
lowcost board compared to some of the more premium ones like the Maximus and
all that kind of stuff. Over here, we've got seven SATA ports, which seems like
kind of a weird number of SATA ports, except that if you look at the back,
which is right about here, you can see that we've got an E SATA. So, that would
probably be where our other port is. And also looking at the rest of the back,
we've got our PS2 keyboard and mouse. We have overall eight USB ports, digital
audio, FireWire, gigabit Ethernet, and
7.1 audio. In terms of layout, the board is quite quite well done. You've got
your 24 pin over here. And then you've got your 8 pin up at the top of the
board over here with the little cover. And then you've got kind of a cool
actually, if I could get Yeah, cameraman's checking out that heat sink. And that's So that's your chipset heat
sink. And then I want you to check these out from the side. These are actually kind of a unique design. I really I
really like that. It's just sort of looks feels kind of random and icically.
I don't know. It seems like a trivial thing to like about a board, but there you go. Anyway, so that's the P7P 55D
Pro. Thanks for checking it out.
