Anschlüsse und I/O

Totally EVGA provided the P55 Classified 200 with six SATA ports of which all have been angled. You find them all located below the memory slots. If you set up a multi-GPU setup using the last slot it is still possible to use the connectors at the bottom edge of the board. Almost standard with motherboards these days are the Start, Reset, CLR-CMOS and MemOK! buttons which can be very useful, especially if you do overclocking. At this piont EVGA decided to even go a step further. The added a control panel using which you can give up to 0.2 Volt more on the CPU and 0.1 Volt more on the VTT-CPU. Furthermore there also is a BCD display that shows the status while the system is booting.

  

Totally you'll find seven fan header on the P55 Classified 200 which is more than enough, to provide a well equipped midrange or high-end-system with fresh air. The fanheaders are located around the CPU socket as well as at the bottom edge of the mainboard. A bit special with EVGA are the black fan headers. Another highlight is the X-Cool Jumper which is of use for extreme overclocking. What it actually does is moving the the cold bug or cold boot further down or best case there will be no more cold bug anymore.
