Just Another P55 Pictures

[LardArse]

An EVGA P55 Motherboard, pretty Focused at Overclockin:



Only 12 phase for VCore 300 to 1,100KHz.

Dual Clock Generators, one right beside CPU, one below PCIE, Specialists.



Slots:




LGA775 mounting holes rotated slightly at 1degree, together with S1156 holes and socket in normal position



F1 EE nice mount





LICC (Low Inductance Ceramic Capacitors) used in socket cavity, same as ones used on intel cpus/chipsets, notice polar ends compared to typical MLCC




PCIE Slot Disable Jumpers, which I find useful, this time cutting off Powergd signals to VGA Vregs for no VGA heat,
so get your single card runs done first with second card's pot empty the whole time.




Good old ECP support




triple bios




future fun

Does it need any heat sinks or is it good to go since P55 runs so cool?

[Raja@ASUS]

Wicked stuff. Fun times ahead with these boards. You wil need a heatsink, although passive works fine on the ICH. More tweaker options on this board than any other so far.

THx for posting that up, I'm using homebrew on the NF200. Gonna fire up tonight and check out what's what..

Holy cow! It looks breathtaking with the heatsink!

If PCI-E slots 1+3 are for x8 operation in multi-card mode, why are PCI-E slots 1+2 in gray?

sleek looking board though, without a doubt

[Ozzfest05]

Thats an amazing looking board, question is that molex for the sli power as they had on 680i boards and such.

nice peter
cant you guys make those PCIe jumpers into something more user friendly like slide on and off position or even using those jumpers that you can easily grab onto that have a bit of an extention facing up

i like the look of that socket area. Prefer that over classi that has a socket close to the edge. i always fine that iceberg that sank the titanic on the edge of the board much like Giga X38/48 board did

can you guys make a joystick based device instead of buttons on that red penal thingie
joystick is sooo old school

it has to be tough enough if not many new users will be calling to say their pcie slots died.

Well I figured there were more mobile phone users than Streetfighter players (though i play a crappy Ryu :P ) , plus the other time i was texting a friend while pouring LN2 and it felt so natural to me....

were is the voltera or is that for the "need to know basis" or "non disclosed information"

Nice looking Board with some great features, will be watching with great interest in what this one can do.

wow jam packed board - triple bios too!

why 1 degree rotation of the socket ?

im guessing its so the mobo has a biit more material in between the 2 socket mounts alowise there would be a danger it could break as it would be like tinnnnnny gap between them

theres no gap, the holes will overlap into each other to form peanuts

the socket is not rotated but the 775 mount holes are

That seems like a bad idea for those using stock coolers or anything resembling them.

If you have the holes overlap, you'll have to ensure that the two plastic prongs which get pushed apart by the cooler pin are both pushing against PCB... and that one of them is not pushing into the other hole (resulting in more loose mounting).

How will this be avoided?

The holes are rotated so that exactly that does not happen. Look at the pics in the first post!

Is P55 the next gen chipset from Intel?

[003]

Is P55 the next gen chipset from Intel?

It's the mainstream chipset and X58 is the high end. Just like X48 and P45, X38 and P35, etc...

Why no heatsink on the PWM? Seems like a bad idea to me.

*facepalm* doh. I knew that.

Why triple bios?

[JacobF]

Why triple bios?

You have essentially 3 profiles to choose from, one can be Standard, OC1 and OC2, you can even have different BIOS versions on each for comparisons and such.

Hmmm ... sounds cool, but I'm not sure if it's really thát handy.

loving it!!!!!
