Intel P55 LGA 1156 Motherboard

The ASUS P7P55D is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel P55 chipset for LGA 1156 processors. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 16 GB. The board includes one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel in the package.

Suited for LGA 1156 system builds

This board fits builders assembling or repairing a system that uses an LGA 1156 CPU and requires DDR3 memory. It is not for buyers who need a different socket type, a newer chipset, or memory capacity beyond the 16 GB limit stated by the manufacturer.

Maximum memory capacity is 16 GB

The 16 GB ceiling decides whether this motherboard matches the planned memory configuration. If the build requires more than 16 GB of RAM, this board cannot meet that requirement and a different platform must be chosen.

Questions about this item

Will the onboard CMOS battery need replacing soon?

The board ships with a metal battery already installed, so no immediate replacement is required.

What caps the 16 GB DDR3 limit when the system runs continuously?

The Intel P55 chipset and LGA 1156 socket together restrict total memory to 16 GB regardless of workload.

How hot or loud does the ATX board get under all-day load?

With no active cooling on the P55 chipset, heat stays moderate and noise depends entirely on the case fans you fit.
