ASUS P7P55D EVO P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing Linus Tech Tips

The Evo version of ASUS' P7P55D lineup fits into kinda a weird niche. It's for users who don't want to pay for the high end "Deluxe" board, but a few features beyond what's already offered on the "Pro" level board. Personally if I was on a budget I'd be looking at the Pro board because it includes SLI support, and this one doesn't seem to have much in terms of benefits over it.

Hey linus it me the guy who asked about either the ud5 and rampage i decided to go ud5 but i was just wondering if the rumored 6 cored cpu's that are suppose to come out in the middle of next spring will they be for x58 or another board or do you know nothing?

[LinusTechTips]

6 core CPUs will be for X58, but they may not work on current boards. No one knows for sure yet.

man asus has like a 100 p55 motherboards its unreal im trying to build a pc for my friend and i don't know what to pick

[LinusTechTips]

Yeah their lineup is REALLY confusing... It took me like 10 minutes off camera to try to figure out all of the differences between this and the EVO.

[IDannyxss]

that's y we just went with x58 and now were waiting on the new ati video card to come out

[LinusTechTips]

I do really like the P55 platform though. Actually went with a Core i7 860 for a recent build for a friend. Paired it up with an MSI P55-GD80 and it's super stable with great performance.

I definitely won't be changing over my own X58 system though.

@progunnerboi EVO Board supports Testbench.

Thats all.

I use the EVO Board myself and I like it.

[iPhoneTechie]

Haha, I love your videos but in this one you seem either sped up or very ADHD :P

[SegestamABBE]

i want to use gtx 460 oc sli on this.. does that work well?

[pwner1734]

What P55 motherboard would you recommend because I am building a computer and don't know which P55 motherboard to choose.

I have a question about SLI and CROSSFIRE

IF the mobo will run two cards n 8x 8x that's meaning it will run it as one 16x card

is it ?

[alle71]

can you have triple crossfire?

[progunnerboi]

Whats the difference between the EVO and PRO version? My local stores sell both at the same price and the only difference I noticed is the ports. So please help me.

[TheWoWRevelation]

@IDannyxss I would go with this! Simply because its the cheapest ASUS p55 mobo that supports crossfire/sli (i want sli all the toerh are crossfire) where the slots are running at 8x 8x (and they threw in a 4x great for pysx!!).

[MultyXDanielX]

what is the yellow (orange) Port on the Back I/O
