WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.400 So, today we'll be unboxing the EVGA 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:11.200 P-55LE. And uh I have to confess this is actually the second time I've attempted 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.519 to unbox it. I had my memory card full, 00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.359 so I have to restart here. So, anyway, this is EBGA's lowest NP55 board so far. 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:23.279 It's an LE or light edition board. You can see that on the front we've got 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.680 logos for the Core i7 and the Core i5, but conspicuously missing are logos for 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.679 SLI or Crossfire. So, we do not have support for those on this board. You can 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.680 see on the back they call out EBGA's 90-day step-up program, their elite 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.480 overclocking utility. And let's get this board out of the box because that's what 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:45.200 we all are here to see. So, it comes in a black glossy box like all of their 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.239 other P-55 boards. So, here we go. We didn't actually get very far last time, 00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.079 so I'm going to be adventuring along with you here. So, we've got a Molex to 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.160 two SATA power adapter, and then we've actually got two SATA cables only. 00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:02.480 That's the fewest I've seen in the accessory package for any P-55 board so 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.840 far. Um, here we've got a FireWire and 00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:07.360 two USB uh PCI bracket. That's pretty 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.080 useful. And then here, this I really like actually. This has been included in 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:18.080 all of the EVGA P-55 boards that we've unboxed so far. So, here you've got an 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.560 over a visual guide, sorry, of your motherboard. So, it shows you all of the 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.240 important features and it gives you a quick installation guide for how to get 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:29.360 your system set up. I really like the way that they illustrate it here, 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.560 although it's a little bit clumsy to use. Here we've got the installation uh 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:40.079 for drivers and utilities. And we have a black divider inside the box. And down 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:45.680 here, we will find the IO shield with a little foamy uh back on it. Then, we've 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.520 got the motherboard manual. So, you probably won't need this if you've gone 00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:54.000 and used the installation guide anyway. And let's get this board out. So, you 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:59.759 can see they've used a similar color scheme to their other P-55 series 00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.680 boards. And if I could just get this to Yeah, there we go. Okay. So, let's get 00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:08.640 this thing open. This actually I I'm a total sucker 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.959 for this feature. Uh we'll take the desicant powder out. Please read before 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:20.000 CPU installation. This is so cool. Step one. Step two. Step three. Step four. 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:24.879 And there you go. It's your stepby-step guide for how to install your CPU. I 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:31.040 really like that. It's very cool. So, we can uh pull off this, which protects 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.800 your memory. So, okay. Like all P-55 00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.599 boards, we've got support for for dual channel DDR3 RAM. And then let's uh have 00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:43.080 a look at the power connector. So, up here we've got our 8 pin power connector. only one eightpin power 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:48.480 connector just like the regular P-55 SLI, not like the for the win. Then over 00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:52.480 on the right hand edge, we've got our 24 pin power connector. So those are both 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:56.879 in their desirable spots. Uh we've got kind of a slick looking chipset heat 00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:01.280 sink, but you can definitely tell that this is a more barebones board because 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:07.040 there's just there's not as much on it. You've only got one PCI Express 16x 00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:12.560 slot. This one down here is going to run at 4x and is not suitable for graphics 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.920 card use. So, that's really important to bear in mind. Now, in terms of expansion 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.680 for storage, even though they've only included two SATA cables, you can get 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.760 your own cables and run up to six drives off this board. So, that's pretty good 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:28.760 to see. And I really like seeing on even on a lowerend board like this, their 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:33.360 debug code post little um readout here. So, that gives you any 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:37.040 of the pertinent information you need to know if your board isn't posting for 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:40.159 whatever reason. Now, let's have a look at the back. And they've actually 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.200 included a pretty good feature set back here. So, we've got a PS2 keyboard port, 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:50.239 eight USB ports, clear SIMO switch. Really cool to see that on, like I said, 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:55.760 a lowerend board. We've got digital audio in both different formats. We've 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.280 got gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio on 00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:02.040 the back there. So, thank you for checking out the EVGA P55LE.
