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).
