so we finally have the whole lineup of p-55 boards from MSI now we already
0:05
showed you the g65 when I got my early review sample now let's take a look at
0:10
the p-55 CD 53 now you'll notice that
0:14
the Box color is a little bit different from the gd65 and the gd80 and that's
0:18
because this is their mainstream series
0:22
okay so it has a c in the title and it's a green box that's how you can tell that
0:26
it's a mainstream or Classic series board so let's get this box open here
0:31
and see what we can find inside so
0:35
you've got a still pretty good accessory package so you got your CD you've got
0:39
your drivers and utilities MSI extras user guide quick installation guide OC
0:45
Genie manual that's cool the one I had didn't come with a manual for that so I
0:48
still don't know what it does uh winky is also included which is I didn't know
0:52
last time here's the manual but winky is like an instant on feature for the board
0:57
okay then we got a floppy cable IO cover couple SATA cables an IDE cable nothing
1:03
particularly exciting on the accessory front you can tell this is a lower-end
1:06
board than the gd65 and the gd80 so now
1:10
let's get the board out of the anti-static baggie here if I can get
1:15
this tape to release on the back there we go and here we have it the p55 cd65
1:23
so let's have a look at the I/O shield first so we don't have any ESAT we don't
1:27
have any digital audio it's a far more barebones board but we do have 10 USB
1:32
ports PS2 gabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio
1:36
and then let's have a look at the expansion slots that we've got on this
1:39
board so you've got your 1 second overclocking OC Genie let's get that
1:43
sticker off so we've got three PCI three PCI e1x and a PCI e6x slot now the
1:50
layout is otherwise very similar including down here we've got the OC
1:54
Genie button right there we've got an onboard power button which is very
1:58
exciting to see on such a an entrylevel sort of price point board you've also
2:03
got your base clock adjustment buttons here which we did a Blog video showing
2:08
the uh the use for then you've got your chipset uh heat sink eight SATA ports if
2:13
I can just get the camera around here so these are off the South Bridge and these
2:16
are off the J Micron chipset that also Powers the IDE port your power ports are
2:20
in their ideal locations along the right hand edge of the board and up at the
2:24
very top left corner and then here you've got your typical LGA 1150 6
2:31
socket you can put four dims of DDR3 memory and this board even at this low
2:36
price point wow there's a truck going past there's a pure leader truck headed to our uh warehouse behind me here so
2:41
I'm going to have to speak pretty loudly I think or maybe we'll just wrap it up
2:46
we've got Dr Moss and there you have it that is the p55
2:51
