P55 Motherboard Round-up: Asus, EVGA, GB, Intel, MSI

At $160, MSI's P55-GD65 is priced competitively and ends up being one of more affordable motherboards in this round up. Only $20 more expensive than Intel's DP55WG and $10 more than Gigabyte's mATX P55M UD4, the GD65 offers an attractive option for those looking for enthusiast class features without breaking the bank. The GD65 motherboard has a familiar black and blue design that looks good and as is typical of MSI, it offers a lot of the features too. As with almost every board in this round up, the GD65 comes with dark colored PCB. A couple of blue DIMM sockets and PCIe slots account for the highlight color, along with gunmetal grey heatsinks around the CPU socket. A quick look around the motherboard reveals other features such as an OC Genie swtich, onboard power button, voltage check points, six right angled SATA ports, and a right angled IDE connector. But we think its odd that MSI left off a few key features, especially considering this product targets the overclocking enthusiast crowd. While we are happy about the onboard power button, no reset switch is installed. Additionally, there is no clear CMOS button anywhere on the board either, not even on the rear I/O panel.

Intel's P55 Express chipset

It seems that every time we cover a mainstream chipset launch, motherboard makers send us their most expensive examples of the breed. That's the best way to show off the latest and greatest in mobo whiz-bangery, I suppose, but it doesn't best represent the sort of mid-range motherboards most enthusiasts actually buy. Obviously, the Asus and Gigabyte boards we've looked at today occupy the opulent end of the P55 motherboard spectrum, and MSI has a direct competitor for them in the P55-GD80. We're not looking at that board today, however. Instead, we have the $160 P55-GD65, which should give us a sense of what a more affordable P55 board has to offer. At first glance, the GD65 definitely looks a little plain. MSI has gone with a simple color scheme, combining black, blue, and pewter tones on a board that looks more sparsely populated than the others. The open layout nicely avoids troublesome clearance conflicts, which is easier to do with only two x16 slots and generally fewer onboard peripheral chips. That said, the GD65 is hardly lacking in expansion capacity or onboard connectivity options.
