Just Another P55 Pictures

[Ozzfest05]

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

[xXGearheadXx]

That's one impressive looking board. My only main concern is "only" six SATA ports. I've got those filled already, and my next build will likely include a couple of SSDs to park my OS on. Here's to hoping for a revision board with one of the SATA3 controllers and a couple more SATA ports on it down the road. considering EVGA has released three or 4 revisions of the X58C, I'd say it's a possibility.

[xXGearheadXx]

Looks like a performer, looking forward to results.

What is that shorter 5th slot do that sits right next to the 4th ram slot?

That fifth slot is for a "L4" cache chip, supposed to increase performance and boot times and such. It won't show up on the P55s but will be on the P57s a little ways down the road.

1: why 2 connector?
2: ugly-strange-use for?
3: graphic memory with relative clock gen?
4: graphic memory upgrade?

[zanzabar]

1) evga dose this on the other boards
2) its so wont kill the pci-e slots when they over draw from the slot or cause stability problems, dfi and other high ends have it and its needed for tri and quad gpu
3) with dual clock gens i have no clue
4) its for intel turbo memory, like in laptops

[FatAlbert]

maybe here I get the answer. Is evga planing to do motherboard for amd cpus, something like classified ? Or evga is "intel only" ?

[k|ngp|n]

Does that red "EVGA Overclocking" device have a name?

The clicker.

[Raja@ASUS]

Or the iclock..

[tenormadness]

Very Nice! I like the all black color scheme. Never had an EVGA board. I was thinking of going Gigabyte for my next build, but this might have changed my mind.

3) with dual clock gens i have no clue

It might help with the jitter, resulting in higher mHz.

lol check with apple first j/k

[MomijiTMO]

well if u can't beat them in number of phases then beat them in number of bioses

haha that was quite funny.

[dmelsie]

i really hope this mobo will not have a high price tag :-)
wait wait wait

[Raja@ASUS]

lol check with apple first j/k

Sent them an email late yesterday afternoon to find out if they had any objections. Unfortunately, the L key on my keyboard skips sometimes and they were not amused at the proposed name. Especially seeing as I told them that their were hoardes of juvenile men who could not wait to get their greasy palms on one..

[Raja@ASUS]

It might help with the jitter, resulting in higher mHz.

With 2 seperate PLL's, period jitter and random jitter of both reference clock signals will be out of phase at the synthesizer of downstream busses (the jitter has nothing to do with clock skew per se btw). Depends how the associated sampling windows are affected by that (when the opposite clock domain has a seperate master oscillator). You might get a smaller logic sampling window as a result, at which point some form of skew might help, but you'll still be playing with narrower sampling margins if the jitter is excessive. I should add though that the associated synthesizer of each clock signal will add its own jitter to the reference clock (regardless of the reference clock source). We have no external high speed interconnect like QPI on i5, i7 and beyond is where master clock jitter is really becoming a big deal. The proof will be in the final oc limits I guess.

EVGA EVGA has a full motherboard design team

i think he meant what factory these are actually assembled in

The clicker.

mhhh just to be sure, you guys ARE kidding right?

[Raja@ASUS]

mhhh just to be sure, you guys ARE kidding right?

yup, just forgot to add the smiley that 'makes everything ok to write'

I just wanted to make sure we don't end up with another 'Kliq'.

[Xoulz]

IDE gone?

THANK GOD!

Man i'd like to see a mobo with Sanoy Os-Cons in cpu VRM
Those things last 20yrs

would you really want a p55 board in 2029?
think twice about what you wish for! heheh

id like to see at least 3 16x slots hooked up to the cpu
yeh you heard me...
why force people to 1366 to run tri sli/tri xfire? would be annoying to have to maintain 2 systems for benchers...

Os-Cons are merely dry organics, just like the caps we see used on most boards these days. They're not the only brand to use organic/dry semi-conductor materials.

[DazzXP]

It doesn't bother me too much, 2nd Gen PCI-Express 8x offers the same bandwith as 1st gen PCI-E 16x and that is more then enough even for SLI/Crossfire. Unless software SLI/Crossfire is used. The thing that bothers me is the 3rd slot running at 4x which will mean you will see a slight drop in performance.

nice pics and really sexy board
