 So today on my video blog we'll be unboxing the Asus P7P55D EVO. Now the EVO board is positioned a little bit above the Pro level board. I mean they've got a lot of P55 boards and it took me a little while to figure out what the difference is between this and the Pro board. So you've got a 12 plus 2 phase power design, SLI and Crossfire, 100% Japanese made capacitors. Okay, so that's all fairly standard. Now one thing I noticed is in addition to the productivity internet and games, they've got a little server logo here. So that's not on the Pro board. Okay, so let's get this opened up. We've got a pretty similar accessory package. We've got a black I.O. shield. Then we've got your USB and E SATA. Then we've got four SATA cables, two straight, two right angle. An IDE cable, a Q connector there. And then we've got an SLI bridge. Last but not least of course is your manual as well as your driver and utilities DVD. Okay, so let's get this board out of the box. Here we go. If I could just... yeah, there we go. Get this out. So it looks a lot like most of their other P55 boards. So you can see here, let's start with the general layout. We've got support for two PCI Express 16x slots at 8x, 8x for SLI and Crossfire operation. This one runs at 4x electrical. So then we've got your chipset here. It's cooled by their stylish new heatsink. Then we've got eight SATA ports. So four of them are in the right angle position, four coming straight out of the board. Now I did notice that... and I'm going to get the camera lady today actually to have a look from more of a distance. So you can see we've got an extra SATA port versus the Pro board. We've got extra power and reset switches on board versus the Pro board. And that seems to be for the most part... big part of the difference. Oh yeah, we've got another Gigabit Ethernet on the back, but we'll show you that later. Okay, so you've got your power connectors in their desirable places. 24-pin on the right-hand edge. And then your 8-pin connector with the little cover on it up here at the top left. And then you've got your CPU socket right in the middle. Lots of room around it with the 12 plus 2 phase power design here. And for dual channel DDR3 as with all P55 boards. Now let's have a... oh, this is something that's really cool about this board actually, is that you can see that almost all of your onboard fan headers are... oh, no, not really all of them. Okay, well you've got a couple PWM ready onboard fan headers. So let's have a look at the back I.O. So you can see here you've got your PS2, you've got a clear CMOS button. Oh, actually the Pro board does not have a clear CMOS button. Awesome, there's another difference. So then you've got eight USB ports, you've got your digital audio out, 2 gigabit ethernet. Again, the Pro board only has one. You've got Firewire, eSATA, and 7.1 audio. So thank you for checking out my blog on the P7P55D Evo.
