Okay, so most of the following photo's you guys have already been able to see in the sneak preview of this board, same stuff yet now with additional comments and some extra photo's ;)
That's a hot looking feature rich motherboard alright. The one thing that immediately strikes us is that everything on this motherboard seems to be focused at performance, with some very exquisite overclock features.
We received the final retail sample and as such it comes packed with a nice fat product bundle. Among the gear inside the kit you'll find :
- MSI Driver/Utility CD
- SATA cables
- SATA power cable
- USB Bracket
- IDE cable
- V-Check cables
- CrossfireX bridges
- SLI bridges
- Back IO shield
- Manual
- Oh yes, and one fine motherboard :)
So here we have the motherboard itself, it's an impressive and daunting looking motherboard alright. Pricing for this really high-end motherboard will be risibly fair, 200 USD. Some of the more notable features are:
- 4x DDR3-2133OC
- 2x Gb LAN
- 3x PCI-E16
- 8x SATA
- 1x eSATA
- 9xUSB
- S/PDIF
- DrMOS
- OC Geni
- V-Kit
- APS
- SuperPipe
- Winki 2
Oh yeah .. there's much more, next page please ;)
MSI P55-GD80 review
MSI's P55-GD80 motherboard will be the flagship P55 motherboard, it oozes with features and performance and stands out alright. Next to the six standard SATA II ports an additional JMicron controller provides two internal and one external SATA ports, and one IDE connector. Two gigabit Ethernet connections, 8-channel audio, Firewire, and 14 USB ports make for the rest of the package. Other specs include support for 4 x DDR3-2133 memory allowing up-to 16GB to be installed, 3 PCIe x16 slots for SLI and CrossfireX (limited to an 8/8/4 setup though), 8 SATA ports, 1 eSATA port, 14 USB 2.0 ports, Dual Gbit/s LAN, 8-channel audio. And that's really just the regular stuff.
MSI P55-GD80 Lynnfield Motherboard Preview
We have a nice preview to offer you guys on the upcoming MSI P55-GD80 Lynnfield Motherboard. This board has a lot of overclocker-friendly features, such as on-board controls for clock-speeds, clear-CMOS, OC-Genie, a DIP switch to control voltages, and voltage-sensing points that make measuring voltages convenient. part from the Intel P55 chipset, it uses an NVIDIA nForce 200 bridge chip that broadcasts 16 PCI-Express lanes (from the processor root complex) to 32 lanes on the PCI-E x16 slots. And next to the six standard SATA II ports an additional JMicron controller provides two internal and one external SATA ports, and one IDE connector. Two gigabit Ethernet connections, 8-channel audio, Firewire, and 14 USB ports make for the rest of the package.
