MSI P55-GD85 Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 ATX Motherboard Review

[arjennovic]

@PCWizKid Hey mate, I'm thinking about buying this board. I have an i7 860, the CPU revision is B1, does this matter? Will the mobo support the 860?

Or someone esle tell me.

Thanks in advance,

Satellite P750-BT4N22 Laptop with NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with NVIDIA® Optimus™ Technology with 1GB GDDR3 memory able to play most games in 30 FPS at least?

P.S.: it has i3 but can be upgraded to i7.

[1981z28camaro]

Does this board have the "Boot to PCI" feature? I'm thinking of getting a RevoDrive, but I'm not sure if this motherboard supports it...

[1981z28camaro]

SOUND CARD QUESTION: I own this board, and the integrated sound card seems to be pretty good, like honestly in Bad Company 2, when Im on the Laguna Alta map, and I'm walking near bushes, I can hear the wind, and leaves moving, I mean how much better can you get? lol

I'm wondering if it's even worth getting a separate sound card, because I honestly think the sound is pretty good as it is.

maybe some1 could tell me what sound card the board has, OR if you have tried a sound card with this board.

[Treazurer]

That motherboard is ah milf!!

[gentlehouse]

Dude, good review! Thank you! I just purchased that mother alongside the Core i5 760, and I hope that I will be happy. Keep up! I'll be watching.. have a nice day

[MmhGanja]

[MmhGanja]

[chubbsmaloyHD]

hey pc wizkid can you help me i wanna build a gaming computer and i want it to be budget can you help me im looking to spend around 6-8 hundred can you tell me what i need to run up to date games and where to buy i can order stuff online

[PVTCONAirsoft]

just 1 Q? HOW MUCH ?

[daviduck1]

does it support kingston hyperx dual channel ddr3 ram?

[nuk3m3vil]

does it support core 2 qaud like q6600

[Rahulio3450]

i am getting this from amazon

[selo2010]

great board but for the price you can get 3 mid rage or 4 lowend boards so waste of money for me :))

[zapper922]

Does this support the I7 875k Lynnfield? because i was looking at the MSI P55-GD65 but idk what would be better

[mathman47]

@zapper922 It takes i7 cores, so yes.

[came2nd]

Any good for gaming?

[Stounage]

the PCWizKid logo look like a character of THE SIMPSONS

[MrPopo303]

um can i use any psu on anu motherboard?

[mathman47]

@MrPopo303 Up to a point, it all depends on the requirements of the MB, graphics car, etc. Add all the wattage up, then add at least 10%. Go for the next higher capacity PSU.

[dethklok1989]

whats so special about the i3 i5 and i7?

are they better than dual and quad cpu's???

[haoliver1]

i have a question, pcwizkid, i have a hp pavillion slimfit, with 4gb ram, gt 220, amd atlhon II and a asus motherboard. my question is: what is the weakest thing in my pc?? i think its the cpu, but i would like to have a pro's oppinion

[PCWizKid]

@haoliver1 Depends on your Athlon II, your CPU might be fine actually, its your video card that is slow if your expecting more for gaming.

[haoliver1]

then what budget graphic card do u recommend?

[PCWizKid]

@haoliver1 ATI HD4770

[haoliver1]

thanks dude, u are a real help:)

[haoliver1]

and u are sure it will run in my motherboard? im sry im just... a newbie:D

[MrYoichiii]

@PCWizKid whiz can you help me i watched this video but i never see my processor in the list you show'd

ive got an intel i3 550 clarkdale will my processor still work in this board?

[MidNightsClub]

[iwan5605]

[wendel123456789]

[MidNightsClub]

how much RAM i can put on that motherboard?

[guurush]

16gb max

[Gamage4]

Two questions. Will the i7 980x (the one with 6 cores) work with this motherboard. Also will you review the processor?

[4StrokeRage]

its and 1156 socket the gulftown is a 1366 socket

[WhereEaglesDareWWII]

Wow MSI have come a long way. Gigabyte have let me down too many times with their shit MB's. I think I'll go back to MSI , which was my first MB.

Great work Wiz Kid

[1981z28camaro]

hmmm, hardly anyone on youtube has this board, I wonder why.. I just ordered it.

[Davy2612]

sweet looking motherboard

[indianflexx17]

sweeeeeeeet!!!!

[tt2ent]

Ive had this board for about 2 months now and it's freakn shweeet! Got an i5 750 on it. I cant get a single core to use 100% of its power. Its a beast

[zeyzey017]

how much it cost? wahhh

[Rsimeroth8]

@zeyzey017 229.99 On Newegg

[caHarkness]

I wish I had the money to buy nice boards and CPUs. It's just crazy how fast computers can get!

[singhinthehouse]

u r such a big hardware expert........

[sparkysports]

Nice run down. You're good - thanks

[banaanpower123]

I have that sticker thats right on the bottom xd

[cjgan80]

Oh lol , no 3 DIMM Slots >_>

[sjoerdkoala12]

I have the P55-G65, is that a good one?

[wickedout2010]

MSI makes good mobos for the 1156 sockets. I have the GD-80 and love it!!

[alex14469]

I bought a lower version of this the p55gd65, works awesome, never had msi products before but I think they did a great job with this one. I dont need usb3 yet or sata 3 but its great that msi added those options for those who need them

[thekyman21]

I would go intel just because of this board

[michaejlt]

Very nice board!!

[marybob321]

at 2:48 i saw 2 LAN why?

[TheFunniestDude]

with some routers you can do something called "teaming" so u can have double the speed

[runescape0wnz22]

So you can play on LAN whilst you play on LAN.

[chickengeorg123]

why not?

[liamisic911]

@marybob321 im sure its because of one of them is upload and one is download

[NikeySunfire]

@marybob321

It's called dual LAN and it's used to connect 2 networks to the PC or share and internet connection with another computer

[nuclearthreat545]

@marybob321 2 is better than one lololol idk

[thore022]

@marybob321 its good for transferring data over a home or business network. comes in hand if you like using a home server for downloading and transferring them via network to your PC

[CreamPie9uy]

marybob321, internet on one, another pc on the other, maybe for lan gaming sessions while still connected to the net.

[MadSupra354]

Is this ATX or MATX?

[WushuTrainee]

ATX, mATX do not have 4 Ram slots.

[rampageturke]

@WushuTrainee yes they do have 4 ram slots

[TheMRamstaff]

cant u tell :)))

[TheRaiken69]

@MadSupra354 ATX

[Whambadambadamdoo]

its atx

[ertxz18]

[Shaazzaarr]

@MadSupra354 ATX looks big to me.

Most MATX boards font have crosfire,sli and not good at Overclocking

[LegionShade]

@MadSupra354 look at the damn title

[kr3wson]

[MadSupra354]

[nurglekhorne]

[TheBloodyMerk]

get a new video card or upgrade your cpu or decrease your quality settings

[Core2IV]

[coijoi]

[computerchris122]

[solutionsplease]

WOWOW WOWOW

Thanks for sharing !!!

[jo05dk]

"the world's most thick 8mm heatpipe"

*lol*

Nice board though, and a great software package. If i had a i5 i would probably go for this.

[julianbell90]

msi does it again

[RoCRoikar]

i so want this =\

[Xtclilium]

would be nice to have 2x500gb sata 3 SSD in raid 0 :P

[1981z28camaro]

lol, 2 SSD's in RAID? is INSTANT not fast enough for you? lol

[Hyphy101dre]

is this better than the gd-80?

[XtremMortz]

so what's the price?

[NoRogeR]

did you just crawl out from a cave? because thats the only excuse you can have for not knowing that it takes time for youtube to process the video. After it is done processing, the quality greatly improves.

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

what

[ricochetrabbit86]

You need to wait an hour! Damn!

[Omellykim]

sexy as hell (i meant the gear)

[mrjamesb56]

4.3 ghz on Stock Cooler?..

[getgad777]

hell yeah!

[91splash]

great review keep it up!

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

Would USB 2.0 work on the 3.0? Like if I put my iPod into it would it work?

[helldrag0n47]

@KaPOWitsCHRIS

Im pretty sure that 3.0 has a backwards compatablity, cause the majority of usb right now is 2.0

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

@helldrag0n47 Thanks, I thought it would, just wanted to check :)

[9AndS]

@KaPOWitsCHRIS it is backwards compatible so it would be working perfectly fine

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

@9AndS Thanks :)

[TheDevilOnHoliday]

@KaPOWitsCHRIS yes it's all backwards compatible. it'd only go at USB 2.0 speed though.
