Pros

Fully featured with SATA 6 Gbps and USB 3.0.
Properly built to maintain high overclocks through longterm daily usage.
Modest pricing.
Lowered CPU power draw via T.Probe, reducing load power consumption by almost a third.
Excellent XMP support.
PCIe bridge keeps SATA and USB apart from graphics interface.
Excellent build quality.
Excellent board layout.
Supports either SLI or CrossFireX applications.

Cons

High "Auto" voltage settings.
Lack of software memory timing control.
"Hybrid" nature of the board leads to many clocking features.
SATA port limited to 5Gb/s by PCIe 2.0 interface.
Only one PCIe x16 slot is wired for x16.
SATA port for Optical Drive located at bottom of board.
Second set of DIMM sockets located under the CPU cooler (YMMV).
So many features it can be a challenge to work through which ones will be useful for you.

Does the E Stand for Excellent? I’m not sure that it’s completely excellent, but it’s darn sure a much sweeter platform with USB 3.0 and SATA3 support. A little cross model driver finesse went a long way to improve the platform’s...

Asus has a large number of P55 motherboards available…I counted at least 16. Of those, five are in the same product line as the P7P55D-E Pro, with this board square in the middle. $140 separates the bottom end and the top end, with the P7P55D-E...
