okay well I think we've finally made our way to our last assus p55 board to unbox
0:04
we've got the p7p 55d deluxe board so
0:08
what's the difference between this and all the other boards well it's got 16
0:12
plus three phase power for the CPU so that's better than any of the other
0:16
assus boards now you've also got support now the Evo has this too but you've got
0:21
support for Drive expert which is an automatic uh Drive backup solution so
0:25
there's that uh other relevant stuff not
0:28
really much of anything in there but let's get this board open okay so all
0:34
right you've got the turbo V remote so this is a hardware level overclocking
0:39
button so you can actually increase decrease your bus speed and you've got a
0:42
few different presets uh turbo key can turn it on so that plugs into the back
0:46
of your IO Shield speaking of IO Shields here's the io Shield so there's the
0:50
turbo connector spot there we go pretty cool so then you've got your manual your
0:55
drivers and applications DVD uh then we've got okay okay six SATA
1:01
cables three right angle three straight then we've got USB and E SATA IO bracket
1:06
then we've got an SLI Bridge uh the Q
1:10
connector things for USB and for your front case connectors then we've got an
1:14
IDE cable let's get this board out so
1:18
you will notice that it looks very similar to all of ausa's other p55
1:24
boards they've gone with a fairly unified looking theme and let's see if
1:28
we can find the difference between this and their other board so first thing
1:32
let's have a look at the general layout here's your two slots for Crossfire and
1:36
SLI so it's 8X 8X if you're running two
1:39
cards and then this one will run at 4X Electrical uh off of the chipset which
1:44
has a different looking cooler on it this is actually pretty sweet looking
1:48
it's very very shiny and nice yeah I
1:51
kind of like that anyway so then we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine SATA ports so
1:57
we've got six on a right angle here and
2:00
then three down at the bottom of the board you've got your onboard power and reset switches and then you've got your
2:05
mem switch and then up here you've got little toggle switches for overvolting
2:10
the RAM the IMC that's the memory controller or the uncore and then the
2:15
CPU so you probably won't be playing around with those unless you're an
2:18
extreme overclocker you've got your power connectors in the usual places 24
2:22
pin on the right hand Edge and eight pin up at the top left and they're using
2:26
their actually there's a heat pipe in between their cool uh like ice Fortress
2:31
looking uh pwm coolers so there you can see there's your 16 phase power around
2:36
your CPU socket here's the connector for that turbo Turbo connector thing in
2:40
Miggy and then that I guess comes out a little place at the back and then here
2:45
we go let's have a look at the back iio so you've got your PS2 keyboard and
2:48
mouse there's your clear Simo switch then you've got eight USB ports digital
2:53
audio out uh 2 GB Ethernet one fire wire
2:57
and 7.1 audio conspicuously missing is e
3:00
satus support it's very strange for a premium board like this anyway thank you
