ASUS P7P55D PRO ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
I've been installing motherboards since 1992 and I must admit that this motherboard tops the list in terms of construction, quality, and performance. Absolutely smooth and seamless performer. Already bought the 2nd one for another upgrade and will upgrade another 3 PC in the next month with this board.

Don't be over whelmed with a lot fo the tech reviews, I used this for my first build. If you add anything to the board you have to re auto tune to over clock. VS other P55 boards there is room to grow. You need a mid ATX case. As stated earlier the directions are OK, there is a cap over 4 of the 8-pin power connecter. I used 4 and no POST, took me a while to realize that was the issue.

Full featured, easy to install motherboard. I use mine for audio and video editing and recording so need both USB and Firewire connectivity. Installed with Windows 7 and surprise, all my hardware and interfaces work!! I'm getting a good, clean signal to the hard drive with little in the way of artifacts. I'm using i5 processor and it is fast enough to keep rendering times down.

This board has a nice layout and is very easy to build on. Clear labels and a decent manual. This board lives up to what I have come to expect from Asus. I would buy again.

Have owned it for 3 weeks now, everything running smooth with an I5. No problems yet, was easily able to enable intel X.M.P in the Bios so my ram could run at its proper settings (slightly over clocked it would seem..) .

Had this motherboard running for a about three weeks now with an Intel I5-750, Windows 7 64bit. All is working great. Overclock utility worked automatically, and system is very stable. The only complaint is that it comes with no SLI BRIDGE. I got one from Ebay 120mm, $5.00 with free shipping. So I guess that its not the bad.

Easy motherboard to install. Fit perfectly in my Antec 900 case and fired up on the first try. BIOS is very nice to manipulate. Auto-Tuning feature to safely overclock is great, didn't even need to manually overclock anything besides RAM. The auto-update is great to update the BIOS via online so I don't need to use floppies anymore. The Q-connector thing mentioned in the below review was great for hooking up the LED, PWR, and RST cabled. This motherboard has plenty of room if you want to upgrade to SLI or add more PCI components. I have the i5-750 and I'm extremely happy with this setup, as a gamer, and as a power user.

First time build and I'm very happy with the results. This board is easy to understand and fits very nicely in a mid-tower case. Combined with the i5, this board is smokin' fast. The Q-connect thing really made hooking up the LEDs, Start, and Reset wires easy. Cool feature. If you have an 8-pin power supply lead for the second power input, REMOVE that cap that's blocking the 4 pins and use your 8-pin plug. Allegedly, that cap is only there as a guide for people without an 8-pin plug available. Would have been nice if that were in the directions. If you only have 2 DIMMS of RAM, put them in the BLUE DIMM slots (that is in the directions).

Very easy to overclock. Very good price. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the more expensive boards have. It's just stuff you're never going to use. I just wish they would include SLI and Crossfire cables.

Comment:
Not much that I can say aside that it's a very easy to work with motherboard that gives a generous amount of space between all of the slots. I have nothing bad to say in regards to this product, it came as advertised.

This is the first motherboard I have purchased. It was extraordinarily easy to get setup. The only issue I had was between my lack of experience, and the motherboard not mentioning the necessity of standoff screws(which I lost amongst my dozens of computer parts I purchased), it took me about a week and some serious internet searching to get fixed, but it was a lack of inexperience really. Awesome motherboard, quick startup, great features. Love it!

my board didn't come with a sli-bridge, I asked where i can get one and asus replied that the video card comes with it, I never have got an sli-bridge with a video card, it always came with the motherboard, because it is made to fit the motherboard, I will not be buying asus products anymore

As always with asus motherboards it works great, great board layout as the giant noctua hsf with 2 120 mm fans is not blocking any ram slots or anything else important, also the vieo card is not blocking anything.

Comment:
This board works quite, as usual for Asus motherboards from my experience, and is certainly one of the more attractive looking motherboards that I've seen come out of late. I'm dinging it a star though for a manual that lacks any sort of troubleshooting guide (I sure could have used one on this last build, but it had nothing to do with the motherboard in the end); and for being an SLI capable motherboard that does not come with an SLI bridge.
