Product Gallery - eVGA P55 Classified 200

Drop dead gorgeous ... that's what the eVGA P55 Classified 200 really is. Small note, we received an early sample, and as such .. that's not the correct packaging/box, we also received the motherboard only and thus no manuals, cables etc etc. But let's have a closer look.

Humanahummana ... check that out ! That's six physical x16 slots. The reality is of course much different, once you need to split up the PCIe ports. With 2-way SLI or Crossfire you can link x16 on the two ports thanks to the NF200 silicon, but  you'll revert to x8 PCIe lanes available in a 3-way configuration. The black PCIe slot is a x4 slot by the way. Hard to see, but all the way to the left you can also see a x1 PCie slot.

At the back-end we see plenty of connectivity. A PS/2 keyboard connector, a total of six USB 2.0 ports. We see a twofold of eSATA ports, dual Marvell Gigabit LAN ports and analog audio output. I'm flabbergasted to not see even one digital Coaxial or Optical TOSLINK here, a miss, the audio panel is driven by the popular Realtek ALC889 HD codec.

The tiny red button to the left is a CMOS clear switch and next to is a small interface for the optional EVGA EVbot, a handheld overclocking device interfaces directly to the BIOS.

When we flip the board 90 degrees we look at Processor socket and the dual 8-pin CPU power headers. Massive overkill, but 2x8pin CPU connectors that can supply up to 600w of power to the processor. The board has a 10 Phase Digital PWM design (Digital Pulse Width Modulator).
