Intel DP55KG Motherboard Review

Intel has a long history of making processors and motherboards to support those processors. Intel launched their P55 Express chipset and LGA-1156 CPUs earlier this month. We’ve already reviewed a few of the boards on the market using this chipset, but haven’t gotten around to reviewing Intel’s own reference boards until today. Intel has three models of their P55 motherboards available today including the DP55KG Extreme board on the review bench today, the DP55SB, the DP55WG and the DP55WB media motherboards. Today I’m reviewing the reference board that was tested during the initial Core i7 870 and Core i5 750 reviews.
