EVGA's P55 Motherboard Lineup Revealed + P55 FTW Preview

P55 Classified 200

Unfortunately, we aren’t cleared to release a picture of the P55 Classified 200 just yet but from the specifications we have, it is obvious that EVGA will be living large with this board. We do have a bone to through you though; EVGA will be including their new “Show Volt” feature which allows a user to see a real-time voltage readout without using a multimeter. Instead of relegating you to the use of a DMM, EVGA provides an LED readout on the edge of the board that is connected to a single removable test lead. The probe can then be touched to any of the EZ Voltage read points and the voltage will be displayed.

Stay tuned for more info about this board.

P55 FTW 200

The P55 FTW 200 is the highest-end EVGA P55 board currently announced. It includes Nvidia’s nForce 200 chipset for additional PCI-E lanes and basically takes the board we have previewed here today; substitutes a PCI slot for a PCI-E x16 slot, adds a heatsink over the nForce 200 and makes use of an additional output connector for EVGA’s EVBot on the rear I/O panel. The setup allows the board to run its PCI-E slots at 16x / 8x / 8x / 8x when they are fully populated.

P55 SLI

Slightly further down the line in terms of pricing and features is the EVGA P55 SLI which looks very much like the P55 FTW but there are a few noticeable differences. First of all, this board features a lower-end 8-phase analog PWM but maintains the 3-phase layout for the memory. The layout of the PCI-E slots is also slightly different with the x4 slot now being below the x16 slots which means there is significantly less room when running dual cards.
