Bluetooth 31 Aug 2009

Introduction

Next month, Intel will officially announce it's Intel P55 chipset. This chipset supports the new LGA 1156 Socket type processors. Ironically, the LGA1156 processors also comes in the form of Core i7 and Core i5.

The TPOWER I55 mainboard is based on the Intel P55 chipset that supports the Core i5/i7 LGA1156 processor.

The TPOWER I55 features high-grade components along with exclusive over clocking-friendly features. The CPU is powered by a lavish 12-phase power circuit, with 3-phase power for the four DDR3 memory slots.

The TPower I55 features the DURA-MAX Technology, TPOWER I55 also adopts three first grade components, “IR DirectFET MOSFET”, “Ferrite Choke”, and “Japanese Solid Caps” that ensure product quality and reliability. With the high standard hardware design, it provides Lower impedance, Longer life-time, Lower ESR and Better over clocking capability.

It further builds with debug LEDs, CrossFireX and SLI support, two Gigabit Ethernet connections, and an additional controller providing two eSATA ports apart from the six internal ports routed to the P55 PCH.

On top of that, this mainboard comes wit Dual GbE, 7.1 ch audio, debug LED, BIO-V voltage measuring points, 1394. It also has a energy saving technology known as G.P.U. With G.P.U (Green Power Utility). G.P.U is a BIOS implementation of Power phase shift design. With the power leds on the PCB, you can see the power phase changes with system load.

For overclockers, you can o/c the board using O.M.G (Overclocking Matrix Genic). The board also offers the Toverclocker windows based oc utility which helps you to o/c within windows.

Below is a video of the package.
