GIGABYTE P55-UD3P Motherboard Overclocking Test
MB Chipset is P55 and all MB makers also launched the products at the same time. Currently, the P55 MB price is between 160~280 USD. If you want to buy LGA 1156 platform, i5-750 plus 160USD P55 MB is the best C/P. Certainly, if you need HT and also affordable, you also can consider i7-860. Merely, i7-860 price is very close to LGA1366 platform

The MB this time is GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3P, price is $160. This is entry price level for P55 MB so far.

The Board

First of all, it’s the package. UD3P is not GIGABYTE high end series, so the box is not so big
