ASUS P7P55D, Intel i5 750, OCZ Platinum DDR3 1333 Unboxing [HD]

[furbyunicejafisher]

Hey is that ozc plat. mem ok? i need some memory right now and i doubt about its quality because i've read so many stability problms with that ram.

OCZ3P1333LV4GK U got that one right?

[Crysis2ful]

Hello. I P7P55D, and ati 6950 2gb. There are 2 slots: 1 (2.0_1 PCIe x16 slot (blue, at x16 link) 2 (2.0 PCIe x16_2 slot (black, at x4 link). I have connected the ati 6950 in 2 (2.0 PCIe x16_2 slot (black, at x4 link). If I put you in the first slot I'll have better performance? Help me ....

[Crysis2ful]

Hello. I i5-750 2.66, 2GB ATI 6950, 560W PSU, two lines: 18.17 gb ram ddr3 A4. I'm wondering do I overclock the processor, or active enough that turbo boost? answer me? Are not cpu limited?

[joeysu6000]

@theRAGEclanmw2 cool man thanks for that :)

[Netlocd]

You also called it 1152 not 1156. LOL you know your computer stuff!

[Netlocd]

You couldn't tell the difference between an IDE cable and an SATA cable. Are you sure you should be messing around with computers there, buddy?

[lukestratton1]

Be careful with it!

[selearemus]

lol i have the same things except that the motherboard is E Pro

[joeysu6000]

can you run this board with 1x24 and 1x4 power from the psu?

[thehostler]

@joeysu6000 yea you can. you dont have to use 8pin for the cpu thats why theres a little cover over it

[michael81109]

You obviously have not lived long enough to be able to appreciate to any extent what an extraordinary achievement this technology represents. When i was growing up all we had we had was barely audible radio, TV was still in its infancy. I would never then have in my wildest dreams imagined what is possible today, and am deeply thankful to be alive to enjoy it. Shame on you.

[mdy18]

Man you just toss that stuff around dont ya?

[vivelehardcore]

do you think it would be good for gaming with a ati radeon hd5570

sorry for the english

[vivelehardcore]

do you think it would beood for gaming with a ati radeon hd5570

[vivelehardcore]

lol i choosen the exact same stuff

intel i5 750

asus p7p55d pro

 and the OCZ platinum ddr3

[Technotrancefreak]

Hey does that motherboard work good with i5 750? cuz im going to buy this board or Msi p55 or the Gigabyte ud3 witch one is the best? xD

[jennymanda]

No stars for handling ESD sensitive kit without any grounding....

[Brudof]

Nice, I have the exact same motherboard and processor.

[tlascar]

i7 860 LGA1156 will work on this mobo?

[MrRawrger]

@tlascar if it is a socket LGA1156, then it will work.

in this case, yep it'll fit. have fun with your build!

[94babito]

@tlascar yes!

[Nowaxhise]

That's one sexy motherboard ;)

[MuziiiKProductions]

lol'd when you said that the cpu cooler was massive xD , anyway nice unboxing.

[isinox]

good unboxing video, keep it up dude

[givemethelotion]

Oh man please buy another cpu cooler, the intel one sucks ass especially when overclocking

[Duckster1964]

lame ass vid



[destinyboom]

@MrRawrger ok thx

[lee881962]

what does the speaker do

[destinyboom]

Does the stock fan fit into the motherboard? I can see alot of brackets surrounding the cpu

[MrRawrger]

@destinyboom  fits fine. been running stock for a while. havent found a need to upgrade/overclock.

[DyNaMisWeApOn]

@MrRawrger is the stock fan fine? or should I upgrade I heard its a weak fan my computer is running fine with it but havent played any hardcore games.

[nwiley619]

I'm using this MBD for my pc and the exact same processor coincidence?

[bonfil1]

#omg

[staticxmako]

typical intel noob, supporting itel like a dumbass giong with their budget x4s when you could spend even less and get phenom iis for way less and get way better proformance,

reason i say noob is cuz you dont even know what sata is

[abusedbunny]

@staticxmako

i5 750 rapes the 965 and is only $20 more.

if he had an x58 chipset then maybe you could say something.

[Agownsrs2]

Love how you treat your precious things that not everyone can afford :)

[TheMRamstaff]

one question : why not buy amd for that price , u get more vid cards with amd

[ipullstuffapart]

@TheMRamstaff not true, unless you mean ATI video cards

[sunweb7]

en gros le pc parfait c'est aux utilisateurs de le fabriquer!

Ils foutent quoi les constructeurs? Pourquoi ils veulent pas à éliminer le bruit et le vendre près à l'emploi. Sinon tout ca ressemble aux maquettes qu'on nous achète quand on est gamin.

Euh le ventilo intel faut le mettre à la poubelle.... bruyant et ne refroidit rien, penser à un noctua ou zalmann

[TehMoffaHoffa]

why are you so rough with your stuff?

[Gahman900]

lga1nnnnnnnnn lol

[Jasdoifhq]

shall i buy a cooler für the i5-750 or is the cooler auf intel good enough?? sry my english sucks but i hope that everyone understand what i wanted to say :)

[eimzic]

hahaha accessories explanation FAIL..

[jsanta50]

ese marik si trata mal las cosas...... como las tira........ mera bestia

[Asdeneder]

I got the P7P55D-E DELUXE Version of this looks much better than the p7p55d

and it has usb 3.0 and SATA III

I got also a i5 - 750 @XlinkK280 yes the guy at the shop told me that this is better for gaming because no game really supports the Hyperthrething(hope i spelled right)

1333 DDR3 Kingston Memory

Zotac GTX 260²

also got : Windows Sidewinder X6 Keyboard

Logitech G13

CM Storm Scout Case

CM Storm mouse (5600 dpi)

[CapitalGamer]

@Asdeneder It's not better for gaming, its just that it isn't utilized properly for most games today.

[bg4kills]

dude you noob in order of apperence driver xd, easy connectors, sata cables,

[jeff9559]

haha pretty massave

[XlinkK280]

Is it true that the i5 750 is better for gaming then a i7 920?

[aqtg3r]

i dont thinks so beacuse i5 has 4 threads and i7 has 8 so i7 can multitask better

[1mper1alGuardsMen]

@

XlinkK280

i7 920 12% better perfomance > i 5-750

[firetruckracer]

@XlinkK280 pretty much, the only difference is hyper-threading, which is known to actually negatively impact some games because of the heating up and extra-work it has to do, other than that it's stupid to get one for a gaming rig because games don't need eight cores, let alone 4. although as i understand it a recent video game called "Battlefield : Bad Company 2" utilizes 4-core functions.

but eight cores is overkill unless you do 3D imaging, etc.

[CapitalGamer]

@firetruckracer It isn't 8-cores, HT its just a better way to manage multitasking.

[firetruckracer]

@CapitalGamer Hyperthreading allows the computer to read and use twice as many cores as you currently have. So if you have 4 PHYSICAL cores the computer reads and uses 8 cores. Which, yes, does help with multitasking but only to the extreme. What I'm saying, is when you're gaming you don't need that, therefore its overusing power and can in fact allow some games to plummet in frame rate. Not all, just some.

[BigBMF]

@XlinkK280 you might see a small plus for I5 750 in some testing/benchmarks but I7 920/930 is by far the better choice if you have $ available for it

[teddy405139]

@XlinkK280 In terms of pricing, it's definitely better, and is some assorted benchmarks, it's close, the same, or even a tad bit better!

[teddy405139]

@XlinkK280 In a way yes. The main strength of the i7s over the i5 is that i7 has hyperthreading. However, hyperthreading is pretty much useless in games as very few games even use 4 threads. So the i5 750 will work perfectly and is a whole lot cheaper than any of the i7s

[thehostler]

@XlinkK280 no its not, the i7 920 is way better. look at benchmarks u fool

[HIYAharry]

@XlinkK280 no.

[bhdrandyal1993]

hi guys, lm gonna buy this mobo and processor what do you think about it? thx

[keiki646]

I Just finish building my Intel i5 750 High-End Gaming PC and I love the i5 CPU. Overclock it from 2.66ghz to 3.83ghz. You all can check out my video on my youtube page

[MaDGriZz78]

This motherboard any good? Im ordering mine from newegg, Asus P7P55D LGA 1156.

[EngelAzreal]

I actually have the exact same setup. Lolz. I added a little bit of arctic silver 5 on the shown copper. No problems with my rig. Should be OCing it to 3.6ghz with upgraded cpu fan soon enough.

[Splooshiba]

haha, im going for pretty much the same, just different cooler :P

[EngelAzreal]

Hahaha. Nice. Yeah, I need a different cooler myself. The standard fan is just way to thin though. I think its around 3/4". But, the setup was just under $500 through microcenter. Can't complain for a decent mb, ram and cpu "package".

[Splooshiba]

@EngelAzreal im in Britain, Intel and other companies seem to think £1 = $1 which is really annoying :P

im not sure which cooler to go for. im loving zalmans flower cooler, but im worried about getting anything too big and it damaging the motherboard moving it around, which will happen a fair bit.

[EngelAzreal]

Hahaha. Right!? Lol. Isn't the £ like always like $1.60-$2.20 for trade? Heh. Damn you Brits! Lol. But besides the annoying money exchange with companies like that are. Hahaha. Yeah, I've heard that the Zalman, and another one (a tribal name, I'll ask my buddy about it) that its name escapes me are two of the best for air cooled. I know the feeling. The bigger the better, yeah for cooling but it'll snap your MB if its too big. Some people use zipties actually. To help out the weight.

[EngelAzreal]

Like, they'll put a zip tie or two where (depending on the model) alcohol pipes are and zip it to the a part of the case where the power supply is mounted on. Something on the lines of a hanging brace. But in return, yeah it might look ugly if you have a huge window. If not, then its what ever. People just try and be innovative. If it works and looks alright, then gold. Lol.

[EngelAzreal]

Ah, found it. It's from XION, the Noctua cooler.

[Splooshiba]

@EngelAzreal im always tempted to order parts from America and get them shipped over, its ridiculous but sometimes its cheaper :P, its like $200 with $30 shipping (so roughly £150) or £200 to buy in the uk.

thats a really good idea actually, thanks for that :). if its ugly you could always just put ties on when your moving it around and take it off when its sitting still.

[yohanz5]

i have a question, when installing, is the thermal strip on the included stockfan heatsink ok? or did you put thermal paste?

[EngelAzreal]

To be honest, if you have some Arctic Silver 5 around, I'd scrape the stock stuff off. If not, I wouldn't have much to worry about, but also depending on what your doing. If simple work and relaxed computing then should be good. If your gaming and doing somehting that uses a lot of the CPU, I'd spend a few $ on some Arctic Silver. I've used it for years, on my computers and my friends computers. Never had a problem with it. But also, its just an opinion. Ask around for more info though.

[Splooshiba]

id agree with engelazreal, people have different opinions on how much difference it makes, but everyone backs arctic silver as the best

[zhiheng2005]

I think that the Stock fan heatsink is too small, it cant cool any shit... I may buy a CoolerMaster Hyper TX3... Easy and Cheap

[zhiheng2005]

The Stock Fan for Core-i5 Doesnt have a backstand to put behind the board?

[MrRawrger]

I dont remember one included.

[zhiheng2005]

I meant I doesnt need it because it only needs to push that thing to clip it onto the motherboard is that right?

[MrRawrger]

Yep yep.

[Splooshiba]

@zhiheng2005 normally only large heat sinks which will put alot of pressure on the board have a backplate

[EngelAzreal]

True, I've never seen a MB brace for the reverse side. They usually only come with large air cooled heatsink/fan's or with water cooling kits. My i5 box didn't come with one. Just the cpu, and the fan/heatsink.

[MrSchiessbude]

you should handle your hardware with rspect ! or do you got enough monewy? yeah great ^^ now you can buy the same things for me, too

[pallypower3000]

@ MrSchiessbude

1. its his hardware he can do w/e he wants with it.

2.amd cpu's lacks power in games nuff said.

[MrSchiessbude]

My Comment shouldn't be unriendly..sry for my bad english, i'm german

of course he can do and let do with his hardware what he wants.

If he doesn't destroy it, he can throw it out the window :)

[pallypower3000]

its cool bro

[MrLamf2939sh]

you should have bought an amd phenom 965 with a core clock of 3.4ghz for the same price!

[RealmEternal]

Go have a look at anandtech bench, this i5 beats phenom 965 at basically every benchmark at stock. It also has better oc headroom percentage-wise. The only reason you would get a phenom is if it's much cheaper. The only AMD quad I would consider is x4 620, that's if I needed to encode.

[Exdeath6]

u can overclock the i5-750 to 4,2ghz ...

[VioarTzZ105]

its got an lower l3 cache got less oc potential and amd suxx so stfu if u don't know anything bout CPU's -.-

[aizee1]

DOES this motherboard ka run itself without the

graphics card?

[easternclive]

no... need a GPU

[aizee1]

what does GPU MEAN?

graphics card?

[easternclive]

yeah, graphics processing unit.

give us a shout when on what you buy, i can give you a few pointers. im going to get this board with and intel i5 CPU in january..

[aizee1]

yeah mee 2

what gpu are you gonna buy?

uhmm any advice,

good graphics that is affordable enough

for 14 yr old kid?

[easternclive]

im 16 with a weekend job and i just got a HD 4890

youll find now that the 5800 series are out the 4890 will come down in price.

mines the 2gb model from sapphire.

if you could pick one or two of those up cheap you'd be laughing..

[aizee1]

why?

[easternclive]

because although the 5800 series is a dx11 card, not many games will use dx11 atm,...

the 4890 is a highend card and two of them can take anygame thrown at them, i reckon it could out do the performance of a 5800 and most probably cheaper if you hunt around

[aizee1]

@easternclive

aahaha

so better the 4890

i see

tnx

[aizee1]

@easternclive

hey dude im a kid

yeah

how does i know that 4890 is compatible w/ my board?

does any board is compatible with any gpu???

or it needs some specs?

[easternclive]

ill tell you all in a pm

[3ne2gy]

sweet video mate, im getting same motherboard and cpu soon, along with after market cpu cooler Coolermaster hyper 212 plus, but different memory im getting G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600Mhz instead. cool vid.

[GrimTheToad]

i gave u 5 * but i recommend you do a script before u do so you don't call an ide cable a sata cable or mistake the socket

[MrRawrger]

will do, ill try to be smoother with my terms. p7p55d and lga1156 doesnt come up ofter in conversation. lol

[maejanRAKSHI]

i guess he desnt assemble,he's just an enthusiast gamer,IDE?!is a whatever,XD,pis,

i'm just jealous,XD,xori

[maejanRAKSHI]

why is it so hard to say p7p55d,joking! just woke up? ppppppp7pppppppppp55D

[johnkor]

I wana go for Prolimatech Maghelems Shadow Deluxe edition hahaha!

[taydan04]

What do you think of the setup? I'll be going with a P7P55D LE and some Corsair 1333 DDR3 to go with the i5. What'ya think?

[johnkor]

I am using something like that you stated and is pretty good .

[taydan04]

How does it hold up in demanding games like Crysis do you know?

[johnkor]

if ur graphic card is good , is shouldn not be a problem because is very very fast.

[taydan04]

good to hear, I have a 9800GTX+ OC and the CPU came this morning I'll be getting the Motherboard and RAM soon

[johnkor]

Le looks like Lite edition ? lol , man i wanted the MAximus III

[maticko213]

Im getting this one tomorow

[moscamix]

The stock cooler is "pretty massive"??

Are you kidding me?? loool

[MrRawrger]

I guess I was living in the stone age.

[moscamix]

Hell yeah!!!

I am going to buy my I5 and my P7P55D PRO this week.

But i'm keeping my Noctua NH-U12P, with the conversion KIT for LGA 1156.

NOT STOCK COOLING

[mikedapimp1122]

similar build for me. p7p55d, core i5 + coolermaster HSF, HAF 932, 4GB of gskill ripjaws @ 1600mhz, 750GB HDD , ATI HD4890. first build. :D enjoy your new CPU/mobo

[MrRawrger]

Nice case. I'm reusing an old Aspire case.

Sweet GPU too. I'm running a GTX 275. How are the ATI drivers?

[mikedapimp1122]

i havent built it yet but the drivers should be good, the 4890 is up against the 275 and 285 ( its inbetween ) but i realllllllly want to get a 5870.

[MrRawrger]

haha me too. I'd be afraid to be a early adopter spending $350 . lol

[soundslave]

This is the exact system I'm building next.

Asus p7p55D Deluxe, Intel i5 750, ocz platinum 10666 in an Antec 300 case. :)

Hows your system working now? Also, did that stock cooler come with any thermal past/compound on it?

[MrRawrger]

It's working great. Encoding for my vids are way faster (coming from an 64 3200 lol).

Yea, the stock cooler came with thermal compound. At around 2:26, the grey on the bronze is the compound.

[bobcashflow50]

you call this shitty cooler pretty massive ?!

Go see the coolermaster V10 and see how this monster is truly massive !

[LauxRO]

wow, youre voice is REALLY strange and too "zen", whoa lol.

didn't your p7p55d come with a sli bridge? it says on Asus site that it should come with one of'ose.

but, oh well. i will soon buy almost the same kit, but the memory. i'm taking 3 chips of 2gb ddr3 ocz dominator gt 1600.

[MrRawrger]

firefox is acting up and won't let me comment. hopefully this will come through.

I'm not sure if there is some new fangled bridge built in but I didn't receive a bridge adaptor.

Don't forget LGA1156 uses dual channel, not tri channel. Nice choice of ram though.

[doweeez]

I5 if little weaker than i7, but best quality for good price

[ashrocks10]

cool how about the performance of i5 as compared to i7 or even the core 2's plz tell

[LauxRO]

core i5 almost equals i7 920, and tops amd phenom ii x4 965 and the top quad extreme. it only loses to the i7 940 (and above) and the 1156 i7s
