ASUS P7P55D Deluxe motherboard

In the wake of Intel's Lynnfield processor release you'll certainly find a lot of P55 chipset based reviews all over the web. For Guru3D this will not be any different; we have multiple P55 reviews lined up as well. It's hot technology, and the latest mainstream and enthusiast gear. What better place is there than Guru3D for stuff like this?

For those that live under a rock, Intel launched three new processor. These processors come from the Nehalem family of processors and are classified with the codename 'Lynnfield'. To make some sense out of that, the 1st generation Core i7 processors had codename codename Bloomfield.

Lynnfield processors are a small step down from that uber-high end Bloomfield based processor architecture.

The three most significant changes can be found in dual-channel memory, locked multipliers and lower TDP. Please read all about that in our Lynnfield processor review. Unfortunately the difference in-between Bloomfield and Lynnfield also entails a socket change, as such the really high-end Bloomfield processors like Core i7 920, 950 and 975 will be based on a Socket LGA 1366 design whereas the new Core i7 870, 860 and Core i5 750 processors will have to be seated onto Socket 1156. Chipset wise Bloomfield processors are paired with the X58 chipset from Intel, Lynnfield processors however will be paired with P55 chipset based motherboards. Overall the benefit of the P55/Lynnfield combo should be a better price performance ratio. Features wise on the motherboard side it all looks and feels fairly similar.

So to facilitate the new Lynnfield architecture processors, Intel has been working on the P55 chipset, this chipset will replace P45. Lynnfield processors feature an integrated memory controller, like current Core i7 processors, and they're outfitted with sixteen lanes of embedded PCI Express connectivity, so there's no need to pair the processors with a second chip (Southbridge). Instead, the processor will connect only to the one P55 chip.

So there we are then, P55 motherboards. The motherboard we'll look into today is the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe  ... in all its ways a bright blue colored motherboard with a very nice feature set and then some more in the form overclocking options and kit.

Have a peek at the motherboard, after which in the next page we'll dive into the review.

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe motherboard review
The motherboard we'll look into today is the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe ... in all its ways a bright blue colored motherboard with a very nice feature set and then some more in the form overclocking options and kit. This board has a lot of overclocker-friendly features, such as on-board DIP switches to control voltages. You'll notice in the photo shoot that is comes with 3x 16x PCIe slots 2.0 e board features eight SATA II 3.0Gbps ports as well as dual gigabit Ethernet, as well as a Via VT2020 10-channel (9.1) hi-def audio codec and the Express Gate instant-on OS feature. The board also comes bundled with a TurboV overclocking remote and corresponding software, Turbo Key, Xtreme Phase, Anti-EMI, and StackCool 3+ The board comes with what is called their 'Hybrid' TurboV EVO processor, it makes overclocking easier. It works together with ASUS’ Auto Tuning, TurboV and Turbo Key technologies. Um yeah .. just read the review.

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Lynnfield Motherboard preview
The motherboard we'll preview today is the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe, and it promises to be a red rose of a motherboard based on that p55 chipset. The motherboard featuring a 16 + 3 phase design rather than 12-phase. It offers four DDR3-2133 (!) memory slots. This board also has a lot of overclocker-friendly features, such as on-board DIP switches to control voltages. You'll notice in the photo shoot that is comes with 3x 16x PCIe slots 2.0 two of which are split off from the main PCI-E bus coming directly from the CPU. he board features eight SATA II 3.0Gbps ports as well as dual gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 Realtek HD audio and the Express Gate instant-on OS feature. The board also comes bundled with a TurboV overclocking remote and corresponding software, Turbo Key, Xtreme Phase, Anti-EMI, and StackCool 3+ The board comes with what is called their 'Hybrid' TurboV EVO processor, it makes overclocking easier.
