Thread: Intel DP55KG Motherboard

Intel's Extreme series board for the P55 chipset has a rather odd design. For starters, although the board is designed for the full ATX form factor, there seems to be a lot of empty space on it. Intel has decided to do away with the IDE port, which could be a hassle for somebody owning an older PATA optical drive or even hard drive. The heatsinks on the Northbridge and Southbridge are smaller than its counterparts. One of the radical design concepts on the board is a skull at the right corner that has two blinking red LED eyes.
