As you can see both of these motherboards are nearly identical, but there are a few small differences. For starters the Intel DP55KG costs 199.99 USD shipped. This is 60 USD higher than the Intel DP55WG motherboard as it costs just 139.99 USD shipped. These two boards might have the same form factor, chipset and processor support, but the price difference shows something bigger must be happening. When Legit Reviews first saw these motherboards at Quakecon 2009 we discovered that the Intel DP55WG Warrensburg motherboard is based off the same PCB as the Intel DP55KG Kinsberg motherboard, but has been stripped down. The main thing we noticed is that Intel removed two of the power phases so the DP55WG has just four total power phases. Intel also removed the eSATA ports from the back panel, two of the SATA ports, the onboard USB port and other features like the Bluetooth and the cool LED skull. Intel also removed some of the overclocking features from the BIOS on the Intel DP55WG motherboard. The end result is a board that is 60 USD less expensive, but how will that impact performance and overclocking? Let's read on to take a look at that.
