The eVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI motherboard

GeForce GTX 480 Quad SLI

The first order of business, showing you the eVGA X58 4-way SLI Classified motherboard. It boasts the Intel X58 chipset with socket 1366 and dual- or triple-channel DDR3 memory configurations.

The 7 PCI-Express x16 slots can be used for setting up up-to four NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards in a 4-way SLI configuration, while a luxurious number of nine SATA ports will provide users with support for an impressive storage solution. The board has been designed for enthusiast class overclocking.

Once you educate yourself a bit more about the specifications of this board, you'll notice that eVGA has put a considerable effort in creating this as a solution for high-end enthusiasts. Additional features include a 10 Phase Digital PWM with switching frequency of 1333KHz, low ESR/ESL film capacitor and 100% solid state capacitors.

The PCB also boasts 300% more gold content on the LGA1366 socket for increased power to the CPU, support for up to 24GB of memory and the bundled EVGA E-LEET tuning utility, EVGA EVbot support and EVGA ECP V2 (EVGA control panel).

If you are wondering about the size, you are correct. The board comes in an XL-ATX (342.9mm x 261.6mm) form factor, which will require users to have a full-ATX chassis with nine or more expansion slots. As stated the board has nine SATA II host adapters with support for RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, and JBOD, dual gigabit Ethernet, twelve USB 2.0 ports, and more.

Embedded under the black heatsink are NF200 ICs making sure that this time around Quad-SLI indeed is an option.
