Intel BOXDP55WB Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
Board fits well in the Ultra XBlaster Mid-Tower case but the CPU fan and intake port do not line up just right. Not really a problem, just don't expect perfect alignment. Otherwise, mobo is great. Nice layout and easy to set up.

Comment:
So far so, it works great.

Comment:
Just follow the instructions and everything works perfect

My experience with LGA1156 has been very pleasant. My wife was the one to do this build (her computer), and she had no issues with the hardware at all. We love the micro atx form factor (were able to pair it with a smaller case). Installing the CPU (core i5) was so very easy. Only 'fun' we had: We installed Windows 7 64 first, but had driver problems (didn't appear to be included). As my wife was doing this, I gave her the options, and she decided it was just easier to go with 32bit (we only have 4gigs ram anyways). Everything worked after that.

Needed IDE support, had to add IDE controller. Has 3 onboard USB headers, very good. Performs as advertised.

Comment:
Everything on this board worked great, it's a little cramped but it's also mATX so you get exactly what is advertised. The only problem I had was getting sound to run, but not a big deal, just had to find an older driver through the google.

Works great, installation Instructions a little vague. first timers could use more detailed instruction.

Comment:
lets just say if u dont know much on programing and changing stuff in the bios then do not get this MOBO it usually comes with the ocz ram super hard to get to work....

Comment:
Audio completely cuts out if I adjust volume on any program requiring a reboot to come back. This board should be cheaper. Solid construction though.

Comment:
good for price

Comment:
other that that it is perfect and no problems yet.

This is my 8 year in the making new computer and I'm happy with the performance of this mobo. But unfortunately I purchased a gts 250 vidcard and the sucker is so big you have to bend the hd sata cables to get it fitted. I don't even think it's completely seated in but it's working. I did have a problem with bad memory but luckily it was OCZ's fault and not intel.

Comment:
Nice board. Couldn't find anywhere to hook up the PC speaker wire. Vague installation instructions. For a beginner builder, remember to research a little before jumping in with this board. There's a couple key areas that aren't mentioned that could conceivably result in a fried board and possibly other components.

The MB is Great Runs Fast has alot of USB ports,No problems with it and simpley its just a ''Great Buy''

Comment:
I got this CPU and it is pretty good, but the first one I got was defective, so other than that its a very good CPU.

Comment:
My preference for motherboards is ASUS or Intell.Works great with no problems

Comment:
Great performance. Amazing board. I just wish I hadn't gotten micro. It really needs some more room.

Comment:
It could use more room but it IS a microATX after all. Big or small I've never had an issue with an Intel board (so far) so that's what I buy for most every purpose.

Comment:
Great motherboard easy setup.

Comment:
THE best case but only one graphics card slot and really breakable PCI slots but other than that GREAT CASE!!

Comment:
this is a very good board; the only problem is it has only one slot for graphics cards. Apart from that, it works perfectly well.

Comment:
Perfect product for the price. But make sure to review some web sites about building your own PC before installing this. Only downside: there is only 1 PCI Express slot so you won't be able to crossfire any cards.

Comment:
I enjoy the fast processing with an I5 processor and Windows 7. This is a great combination so far.

Comment:
So, Great Motherboard, perfert for i5 and it's DDR3 ram slots are built fine. The major flaw and design is it's Graphic Card. Basically you can't get any 9800 series video cards or higher, unless their about a inch shorter. There's 1 9800 video card but that's about it. So if your willing to stick with 1 video card for the rest of your life than this is the motherboard for you.

I didn't realize that this board did not have PS2 ports. I had to go and buy a usb keyboard for this board. Coupled with the I5 750 CPU and OZC Low voltage memory, I get 7.3 on both the processor amd Memory Bench in Win 7. I did not have to customize any settings in the bios for the memory to work. With stock CPU, my temperature is running around 27C while typing this review. This setup is faster than stock q6600 overclocked to 3ghz on which I get 6.9 on both the processor and memory bench.
