Intel DP55KG "Kingsberg" P55 Motherboard Review

Fri 2009-11-13 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Futurelooks have posted a review of the Intel DP55KG "Kingsberg" Extreme Series, an Intel P55-based motherboard that supports the new Core i5 & i7 LGA1156 processors.

Here's what they had to say:

"Can we recommend the Intel DP55KG Motherboard? Sure, we can. It comes with the standard Intel original 3 Year Warranty. And, having witnessed the motherboard team’s efforts in person, they are definitely quick to work out any unforseen issues with BIOS fixes. It may not be the best overclocking platform available, but it’s obviously one of the best, very well tuned motherboards for any Lynnfield processor."

Although not necessarily as feature-filled as P55 models from the 'main' motherboard manufacturers, the DP55KG is good, stable board, and it looks cool too with its funky lighting. However, in my opinion, it's simply not worth the $200+ that Intel is asking for it. There are models $40 cheaper that have way more features, like the ASUS P7P55D PRO and GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4P.
