Intel DP55KG Extreme Motherboard Review

[BSUTechShow]

I have this board, with an i7 870. I was wondering about overclockability with the stock cooler. And I might get a hyper 212.

[uphill248]

HI, HOW DO I FIND OUT IF MY PROCESSOR IS OVERCLOCKED?

[PuffSmelly]

holy shit Im buying it

[nicksboi]

why..at 1:15 does it say there are 4 LAN connections?! That can't be right?

[metroidred234]

where are the ports for the keyboard mouse and monitor?

[nishal92]

@metroidred234 Mouse and keyboard via USB connection, but monitor... u need graphics card lol :D

[oscurochu]

@metroidred234 the board doesn't have an onboard graphics card, therefore no monitor port. you must supply your own graphics card.

[kyleglied]

You missed the most important feature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The blue led, red eyes led, skull that has the eyes light up with the HDD activity!

WTH man!!

[LostBelowLife]

[fixx373]

good vid i have been looking at some boards for a new build i am going with a i5 750 so this will be on my list .Its time to get rid of my pos 955 be and go back to intel the 750 kicks its butt when there both stock or oc. And the 750 uses less power either way . and its nice to be able to run xfire or sli on a board .thanks for the vid it was very helpfull

[KickMoreAss]

ASUS motherboard will kick its ass !!!!!!

[Quaaludedude714]

This board Rocks :) QC

[PeterMacPL]

it's not good for Home Theater that's why because don't support bitstream HD audio (DTS-HD, DDTrueHD) by HDMI, good chipset for Home thatre are H55/57.

[brijeshdavid]

Hi

Pls visit ->ww.intel.com/products/deskto­p/motherboards/DP55KG/DP55KG-o­verview.htm

It says it has

"Intel® High Definition Audio◊ subsystem in the following configuration: * 10-channel (7.1+ 2 independent multi-streaming) audio subsystem with five analog audio outputs and two optical S/PDIF digital audio for input and output using the Realtek * ALC889 audio codec"

And get audio from HDMI is depends upon Graphics card!! <<--I think-upgrade my knowledge if you know more!

[janreb22]

which is better the DP55KG or the DX58SO, if I will use i7- 920

[hussainmushahid]

why is the 2nd pci-e slot cut in half?

[Adzr200]

i used this board in 1 of my builds and couldn't get ati 5750 working, had to result in gtx 260+, anyone know what the reason could be

?

[kill3r290]

i have the DP55KG,

i am having problems with my on-board sound, it suddenly stops playing sounds, a restart of the computer fixes it but then suddenly stops playing sounds again.

any one knows why this happens?

[brijeshdavid]

@kill3r290

Hi

I'd the same problem(especially playing COD4),I've found the solution-that the game or the program automatically change output to 'Optical'-so If u disable 'Taking control' of sound-it'll not stop in middle.

[kill3r290]

@brijeshdavid

hey man,

i already solved the problem by updating the BIOS.

thnx anyway...

[brijeshdavid]

@kill3r290

Hi Now I want to buy a new graphics card.

I decided "Palit GeForce® GTX460 Sonic Platinum" to buy.(It's around 15600/- bucks in india-approx 330$).I'm waiting for price comes down.

What do u suggest?

[kill3r290]

@brijeshdavid

awsome card, but depends on which CPU u have, so that u can get the full GTX460 performance.......

[osmodivs]

So, can use these board for a worksatation? i´m gonna use a PNY nVidia FX video card, for video and photo editing.

[mattthepartyboy]

i wanna see a short vid on the skull lighting up!
