so continuing with our recent theme of doing uh unboxings of p55 motherboards
0:04
we've got the Gigabyte p55m ud4 now you
0:08
can see from the front it's got smart six a three year warranty and ultra
0:12
durable three which means a two ounce copper pcb along with these other
0:16
features you can you can read about them we also have support for dolby home
0:19
theater ati crossfire x and NVIDIA sli so let's
0:23
uh get to the accessory package here we
0:26
have four SATA cables and one ide cable
0:30
then we've got an sli bridge
0:33
then we've got an i o plate
0:36
we have the user's manual
0:40
and then we've got the driver and application dvd then we have a
0:44
multilingual installation guide book so this is guiding you through the physical
0:48
installation more like a quick guide than a full user manual here's your
0:52
smart six user's manual and my phone is ringing that's okay all
0:57
right so now let's get down to the board just pulling out my uh oh what you'll
1:02
notice about this first compared to all the other p55 boards that we've looked
1:06
at so far is that it is actually a micro atx board so that means it is shorter
1:12
but you have quite a complete feature set and it looks a lot like a high-end
1:16
board so we've got a multi-phase power solution around the socket 1156 and then
1:21
you've got quite a robust cooling solution on the mosfet so i'll get kind
1:24
of a nice angle on that there it's kind of neat and aztec looking and then up at
1:30
the top left corner and it's rightful place is the eight pin power connector
1:33
along with the 24 pin over on the top right corner
1:37
like all p55 boards it supports dual channel ddr3 RAM but unlike all p55
1:43
boards you've got support for 8x 8x pci
1:46
express sli and crossfire which is great to see on a micro atx board it's the
1:51
first one we've looked at like that now again keeping in with the high end
1:55
feature theme we've got onboard power reset and clear cmos switches and then
2:00
we have seven SATA ports it seems like a weird number but when we look at the
2:04
back plate here you'll see why because on the back we have one of those e SATA
2:09
and usb combo ports so that's where your other SATA port is now then we've got a
2:14
ps2 mouse keyboard combo port 10 overall
2:17
usb ports digital audio firewire gigabit
2:22
Ethernet and 7.1 audio so thank you for checking out the uh yeah i forget the
2:26
name again p55m ud4
