Gallery - the P55 UD5 motherboard

Here we have a better overview of the cooling design of the motherboard, 100% passive, absolutely lovely and it works really well.

We flip the board around again 90 degrees and stumble into low-level connectivity. Color coded front panel headers, two more USB headers, FDD and even a serial port. You just can't deny that this is going to be a very complete motherboard alright.

Okay last photo in this large slideshow aka photo gallery. Check it out, three x1 PCIe slots,

Three x16 PCIe graphics slots (rev 2.0). If you use two graphics cards, the chipset will however split two time x8 PCIe lanes towards each slot. The slot to the right is actually a x4 port on a x16 slot. And to top it off, two PCI slots.  The motherboard is SLI compatible just like X58. Crossfire obviously will work as well, no questions asked there.
