Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Compatible with Intel Core i7-800 and Core i5-700 series processors, the Desktop Board DP55WB is an ideal motherboard for enthusiasts looking to build a small cutting-edge PC without breaking the bank. Based on the P55 chipset, the DP55WB supports all processors with LGA1156 sockets, and fully supports ATI CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI technology. It features a MicroATX form factor and measures 9.6 by 9.6 inches, making it ideal for building more compact computers. The motherboard is also packed with enough PCI connectors, DDR3 memory sockets, and peripheral ports to satisfy the most demanding users.
Unleash the Power of Intel Core i7 and Core i5 Series Processors
With the Intel Core i7-800 and Core i5-700 series processors, Intel engineers introduced a revolutionary new style of micro-architecture. They removed the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- and replaced it with a new interconnect technology known as Direct Media Interface (DMI). As a result of these changes, only motherboards with the new LGA1156 socket can support Core i7 series processors.

With the Intel Core i7-800 and Core i5-700 series processors, Intel engineers introduced a revolutionary new style of micro-architecture. They removed the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- and replaced it with a new interconnect technology known as Direct Media Interface (DMI). As a result of these changes, only motherboards with the new LGA1156 socket can support Core i7 series processors.
The DP55WB features the LGA1156 socket and is specifically designed to make the most of Intel Core i7 series processors' power. It includes over-clocking hardware features like post-code LED and Back to Bios, which allows the processor to perform closer to its maximum potential. However, serious over-clockers may want to consider the Extreme-series MicroATX motherboard, the DP55SB.
Be aware that the LGA1156 socket is only compatible with Intel Core i7-800 and Core i5-700 series processors. Those with the Core i7-900 series processors should purchase a motherboard that features the LGA1366 socket (such as the Intel DX58SO).
Loaded with Memory, PCI, and Peripheral Support
With dozens of ports and connectors, the DP55WB gives computer enthusiasts the flexibility they need to build their dream machine. It offers support for 1600 MHz, 1333 MHz, and 1066 MHz variants of DDR3 memory. With four DDR3 SDRAM DIMM sockets, the DP55WB can accommodate up to 16 GB of system memory -- an invaluable resource for heavy multitaskers.
The DP55WB also features enough ports to interface with all of your computer accessories and gadgetry. It has fourteen USB 2.0 ports and six serial ATA ports. It features a single IEEE 1394a header to handle all of your audio/video transfer needs.
For more advanced computer expansion, the DP55WB also features four PCI connectors, including one PCIe 2.0 x16 bus add-in card connector, two PCIe 2.0 x1 connectors, and one PCI conventional connector.
Integrated High-Definition Audio and High-Speed Ethernet
Whether playing MP3s or immersing yourself in game sound effects (SFX), you can expect crisp sound from the DP55WB. It features a 10-Channel Dolby 7.1 audio subsystem, which means you won't have to spend extra money on a dedicated sound card for top-quality audio playback. The motherboard also includes five analog audio outputs and two S/PDIF digital audio outputs (coaxial and optical) with Realtek ALC889, so you can use your favorite speakers.
A Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet connection is also included for high-speed connections to the Internet.

It is all about the memory!,

This review is from: Intel LGA1156/Intel P55/DDR3/A&GbE/MATX Motherboard, Retail BOXDP55WB (Personal Computers)
Let me preface this review by saying I have been building and messing with PCs for over 15 years now. This is my first motherboard actually manufactured by Intel themselves. I decided to choose this board because of the size, price, and the fact that I didn't plan to overclock this system at all and figured this would be pretty close to a reference platform to use since it was manufactured by Intel. I was building a PC for my home theater and wanted stability and figured I did not need all the bells and whistles of a board meant for overclocking. I also liked the lack of legacy PS2 ports.
Like I said I decided to build a HTPC and had some parts laying around to start it off. I had a Geforce GTX280, hard drive, and case. I added this mobo, Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 4 GB PC3-12800 Core i5 Memory Kit, Intel Core i5-750 CPU, and a OCZ 600W power supply. I planned to use the box for mainly streaming video and playing games using Steam so I did not add any optical drives. I have a PS3 that I used for Blu-ray playback. The system was a easy build and I didn't run into any major problems putting things together. You need to install the RAM first because the larger video cards are snug with the closed memory retention clips. I ran the SPDIF cable from the motherboard header to the video card with the cable that was included with the video card and it worked with no problem. The board has 3 Fan headers, 1 for the CPU and 2 for case fans. I used them all. When using a large video card like I did you loose a couple of SATA ports because the video card blocks them. If they had used angled plugs this would not be a problem. I only have a single drive so I just used a unblocked port so it wasn't a major problem for me. Once I got everything together the box powered up with no problems. I went into the BIOS and set the boot options for booting from a external USB drive I had and installed Windows 7. Here is a tip: Go download the network drivers using another PC and have them available to on a thumb drive once you get Windows installed. Windows 7 does not seem to have built in drivers for this NIC. Once I got that up and running everything went fine... That is until I was watching a streaming video and the system rebooted. I let it restart and nothing seemed to be wrong with Windows. I started working on installing games from steam and the system rebooted again. So the recurring thing became random reboots every 15 to 30 minutes. I went into the BIOS and bumped the memory voltage to 1.65v which the memory was rated for and double checked that the timings were correct. I still had the same rebooting problem. I updated the BIOS using the F7 method described on the Intel site. I still had the same problem. I hit the search engines and forums looking for info and found that this mobo is very picky about what memory you put in it. The common theme was random reboots until they stuck memory in from the Intel approved list on the product page. So I ordered a couple of sticks of 2GB 1333MHZ Dimm DDR3. Once I put that in I had no further problems and the system has been rock solid. Of all my years in building a PC this is the first time that I have got a mobo that had to have memory from the manufacturers approved list. If there is one thing you take away from this review let it be this: Buy some memory from the approved list for this mobo on the Intel site. I bought some Corsair in a kit specifically marketed as being for Core i5 and i7 and it did not work. The forum posts I have seen show other top tier memory from other manufacturers having the same problems with this motherboard. Stick to the list and you should be ok. [...] So far other than this I have been happy with the board and have had no problems.
