Socket LGA 1156 workstation board
The ASUS P7P55 WS Supercomputer is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel P55 chipset for LGA 1156 processors. It supports up to 16GB of DDR3 memory and targets users building or repairing a workstation-class system.
Verify CPU cooler clearance and memory type
Confirm that your existing LGA 1156 processor matches the socket and that your cooler mounting holes align with the ATX layout. Ensure any memory modules you plan to use are DDR3 and that the total capacity does not exceed 16GB. The board ships with one SATA cable and an I/O back panel but no original packaging.
Replaces legacy LGA 1156 boards lacking
This unit upgrades older P55 boards by adding the WS Supercomputer feature set for multi-GPU and compute workloads. The jump is worthwhile when you need the enhanced PCIe lane allocation and stability provisions that distinguish the WS line from standard P55 models.
