 I got a pretty cool package in the mail today. It's a P55GD65 motherboard from MSI. Let's do a quick unboxing here and show you all the cool accessories it comes with. Mostly boring accessories. We got an I.O. shield. Okay, we have those little things that help you plug in your USB if you have a really old case. We have four SATA cables, a couple SATA to Molex power adapters, a ribbon cable or two, floppy and IDE. I don't have a lot of space on my SD card so we're going to have to go fast. Drivers and utilities. MSI extras. I think it's like Norton or something. Hard drive backup user guide. Quick installation guide, which looks absolutely huge and complicated. We'll figure that out later. SLI crossfire bridges. MSI Winky. I don't know what this is, but yeah, MSI Winky. P55GD65 user guide. Then we have a little USB backplate thing. Okay, so let's get the environmentally friendly packaging out of here and let's get this board out because that's the interesting part. So on the board we've got the OC button, which is like a one button overclocking utility. It's a pretty nice looking PCB. OC Genie, there, that's what it's called. There's a little button right here and then you can change your base clock with the plus and minus buttons. Kind of cool for such an inexpensive board. You've got seven SATA ports right here along with... Oh, let's show the back. The back slot. This is an 1156 board, so we've got PS2, digital audio, eight USB ports, two ethernet, one eSATA... No, no eSATA. We have Firewire. Okay, so there's no eSATA. That's okay. So it supports crossfire and SLI. Now I've ripped the sticker, so we have to do it in one shot now. And then you've got SuperPipe Dr.MOS, which is MSI's MOSFET solution. It uses fewer phases, but the switching frequency is faster, so they're saying it's quite a bit better than what other people are using. And then here we have our 1156 pin socket, which I have never opened one before. But, yeah! Okay, that's not working at all. There we go. So that's socket 1156. Now I'll get the cameraman to have a look at it. So there you have it. You've got dual channel memory, all the appropriate power adapter... Oh, here's a cool feature. You can read your voltages using this little interface right here. Very cool. So this is the V checkpoints. Awesome, awesome feature. So thank you for checking out my blog on the MSI P55, GD65. Oh yeah, and this is like the coolest thing ever. Intel Core i7 lunchbox. We'll be giving these away in some kind of promotion over the next little bit. But I thought it was pretty neat. And inside... Oh yeah, check it out. We got P... whatever. Chips for this. Ha ha!
