Asus P7P55D-E Premium Mainstream Motherboard
February 6, 2010 | Asus, Hardware | Comments OffAt the moment there are two of these so-called changing play of new technologies in the running for consideration: USB 3.0 (an upgrade USB2) and SATA 6 Gb / s (later to SATA 3Gb / s, unofficially, more popularly known as SATA II). One of the first motherboards to offer both is the Asus P7P55D-E Premium, which is very similar to the award-winning P7P55D Deluxe. Is it the motherboard to get if you want to start a future proof your next computer? Read on to find out.
While evolution is usually a good thing in the PC industry, this means that no matter how expensive a machine you buy is likely to be updated in a year. In most cases, you can upgrade an item or two (a faster CPU or better graphics card) and must be at least back on the curve, if not before him. However, in some cases, there are changes so fundamental that it’s worth waiting to buy until they become mainstream.
As with the Deluxe version, you get an impressive package, which more than one SLI bridge card video cables and includes a support offering twin 2 USB ports and one eSATA port. The highlight however is the same overclocking wired remote control as found with the Deluxe P7P55D. We’ll discuss that later, though. On the motherboard, visually it features the same attractive mix of blues, whites and blacks who have made such a P7P55D Looker, though personally I find the MSI P55 GD65 is always the champion in this field. The Asus also boasts a cooling system similar to its predecessor, which is not a bad thing. [via trustedreviews]
