[Vocoder07]

>sorry bad english<

[lolreallylongusernam]

P-Fitty Five. I lol'd

[stiktone]

Nice MOBO!

[Em0killer13]

Entry level? what the hell are you talking about , its in the 220+ dollar range. Entry level should be 115-170. on top of that its under the Ex-Flagship model which was the P55A-UD6 or p55-ud6 (who cares about usb 3 anyways..) until the ud7 came out but it isnt available yet anyway so yeah.

[CooperScoots]

can this fit core i3 cpu's?

[sackcheck]

@CooperScoots yes

[Harry13ification]

Is this motherboard suitable for hard overclocking?

[edge160]

If you're talking about using liquid nitrogen, then no. I suggest you get something with a LOTES socket rather a FOXCONN or you might damage your cpu.

best motherbaord for gaming on i5 under 150 pound

[Filo011]

OO i think i miss understood, this mother board won't support 2 HD5850's crossfired?

[ThuGfunk]

I think I'm going to be picking this up with my new build. Having the option to go SLI or Crossfire should prove to be very flexible if I ever want to swap video cards between nVinda or ATi.

1:39: "It has 10 sata controllers".

- Surely you mean sata ports?

0:50: You called it the "P55-UD55 motherboard"

- Try speaking slower :)

[motherboardsorg]

Thanks fot the critic, we try our best!

[Restaurant25]

motherboardsorg, I'm in process of purchasing a new motherboard. I've been interested in Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H. Which one of the two is more superior? Money isn't an issue. Playing World of Warcarft on it so I'm looking to max out the ram memory as well.

[slikmetal]

And that's all we ask for!

This was a good review, thinking of buying it, it seems like a good value board.

[magzire]

each sata port has its own separate controller

[Xerai]

Each sata port is controlled separately, but that doesnt mean each has its own controller. Are you seriously implying there are 10 controller chips on this board?

[sumobritches]

the kids here on youtube are so immature. excellent review of this motherboard. i really appreciated it. great job!

[BSZanatsu]

This guy or the person who wroght the script dose not know what they are talking about. It is a good board but he dose not explain it well.

[motherboardsorg]

What more do you want explained in a video review??

[BSZanatsu]

Finaly, eSATA USB combo is not that new. The benchmarks are nice. If somone is going to come to you for info then you nead to give more spesific info on the parts that you are reviewing or they will go someware else for more indepth reviews.

[MetalPhreakAU]

He never said it was new, and they are rarely seen on desktop motherboards. Most places I see the combo eSata/usb port is on laptops.

[BSZanatsu]

1:50 "It fechers the NEW..." I put some other things up but it did not post them for some rason. Basicly i want more indepth info on the diferent components.

[motherboardsorg]

Oh Yeah name another motherboard that has this feature MR....???

[BSZanatsu]

All I'm saying is that they are not new. Like MetalPhreakAU said, "they are rarely seen on desktop motherboards. Most places I see the combo eSata/usb port is on laptops." So If you realy want me to name another motherboard then all i have to do is name a laptop that has it and walla. you never said it had to be a desktop motherboard.

[motherboardsorg]

Okay, name a laptop motherboard you can buy with that feature?? I checked and even on laptops its rare and yes, this is the 1st desktop board with this feature, so it is new to the desktop environment my friend. But hey we do like your opinions..

[faugusztin]

eSATA/USB is pretty common in laptops. My 1 year old Toshiba Portege M800 had it, my current Toshiba Satellite U500 does have it.

[KapteinFruit]

Can you tell me what the start price of the i5 will be?

And is it true that DDR3 based mobo's support DDR2, but not the other way around?

I'm too lazy to google it, sry xP

[faugusztin]

In what currency ? And no, DDR3 motherboard doesn't support DDR2.

[motherboardsorg]

Newegg has it for $209 for the i5 750

[crazyintellect]

too lazy to reply, sry xP

[faugusztin]

Actually it's PCI-E x16/8, x16/8, x4 from top to bottom.

[motherboardsorg]

Waiting for Windows 7 for 64 bit testing...

[chakalaca465465]

for your opinion, it will enough just dual-channel memory kit slot ? that means, just 4 GB you know... I think that the 1366 is better because you can have 6 GB with his tripple channel.

[LaczupakabraPL]

Nice! I like gigabyte a lot, but mate why do you use 32 bit system to do the test?

Anyway great review 5*
