ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Pictured (http://www.techpowerup.com/100332/ASUS_P7P55D_Deluxe_Pictured.html)
ASUS seems to be just about ready with a full-fledged lineup of motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset, that supports LGA-1156 socket CPUs. The newest entry in the company's P7P55 series is the high-end P7P55D Deluxe. The model is placed above the P7P55 EVO (http://www.techpowerup.com/?98403) and P7P55 Pro (http://www.techpowerup.com/?94966), which descend in the same order in the lineup. The P7P55D stands apart with some high-grade components and overclocker-friendly features. The CPU is powered by a lavish 19-phase digital PWM circuit, cooled by chunkier heatsinks that distribute heat among each other using a heatpipe.

The four memory slots supporting dual-channel DDR3 memory are powered by a 4-phase circuit. The user is given greater control of voltages and clock speeds using the TurboV technology. This board even bundles a pop-out wired remote that provides some on-the-fly controls. The expansion slot layout is identical to that of the P7P55 EVO, with three PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots (two of which are electrically x8 when populated, and one is electrical x4). The P55 chipset provides six SATA II ports, while external controllers give out three additional ports. Connectivity and other expansion options include two gigabit Ethernet controllers, over a dozen USB 2.0 ports, Firewire, and audio with digital output. The P7P55D Deluxe could feature in the first wave of P55 motherboards released by ASUS.

Looks sexy!!! I wonder if the dram voltage limitations with this chipset will be allieviated? Being linked to qpi voltage is annoying with i7. I want to bench my micron d9 @ 2.2v damnit!

Wouldn't count on it, Intel has no incentive to change things as it only effects a tiny percentage on users. Would certainly be nice though, I'd love to have a use for my GTR/GTS.

On the Asus board, not a huge fan of the color scheme but at least it's better than the old gigabyte one. Decent PCI-E spacing also, not quite as good as the EVGA but close.

Well,i really like the colours of this mobo and the whole set-up.
What i mostly like is the pci-e and ram locks.Like Rampage II Gene

Looks good. But great another MB and chipset to get, Core I7 didn't last all that long :(
