00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:09.280
Okay, so today we've got the P7P 55D Pro. We actually can't get over to our

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.519
normal unboxing uh outside place because

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.679
uh there's some junk there. And so we're doing the unboxing on the hood of my

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:18.920
car. So here we go. We got the IO shield and then let's keep going with the

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:25.519
accessories here. We've got the users guide. Then we've got the uh DVD for

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:31.679
your drivers and your utilities, all that good stuff. Okay. Then we have an

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.640
ESATA USB IO bracket. Then we've got an

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:40.559
IDE cable. Then we've got their convenient Q connectnect. Then we have

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:45.040
four SATA ports. It's got four SATA ports. So four SATA cables. And now

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:50.079
let's get to the board itself here. So ASUS uses environmentally friendly uh no

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.160
foam packaging. So they have like no foam and no uh no packing peanuts,

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:57.520
nothing like that. It's all sort of cardboard. So, let's get the board

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.199
itself out. It's kind of a sharpl looking board. I can't say the color

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.840
scheme is my favorite, but it all sort of matches. So, let's start with what

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:12.400
we've got in terms of our ports. So, we've got three PCI Express 16x slots at

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:16.640
8X, 8X, and 4X. And please note that this one will run at 16x if there's

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.280
nothing installed here. As with all P-55 boards, we've got support for dual

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.920
channel DDR3 memory. You've got a fairly beefy 12 plus twophase power design,

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:29.920
which is really nice to see, especially because this board is a relatively

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.000
lowcost board compared to some of the more premium ones like the Maximus and

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:39.119
all that kind of stuff. Over here, we've got seven SATA ports, which seems like

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:43.840
kind of a weird number of SATA ports, except that if you look at the back,

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:47.520
which is right about here, you can see that we've got an E SATA. So, that would

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.200
probably be where our other port is. And also looking at the rest of the back,

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:57.040
we've got our PS2 keyboard and mouse. We have overall eight USB ports, digital

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.759
audio, FireWire, gigabit Ethernet, and

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.399
7.1 audio. In terms of layout, the board is quite quite well done. You've got

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.000
your 24 pin over here. And then you've got your 8 pin up at the top of the

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.720
board over here with the little cover. And then you've got kind of a cool

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:15.520
actually, if I could get Yeah, cameraman's checking out that heat sink. And that's So that's your chipset heat

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:21.440
sink. And then I want you to check these out from the side. These are actually kind of a unique design. I really I

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:25.760
really like that. It's just sort of looks feels kind of random and icically.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:33.840
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

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.840
Pro. Thanks for checking it out.
