eVGA X58 3X SLI Classified motherboard review

To the right side of the motherboard we stumble into a selection of USB, audio and front panel headers as well as a selection of buttons and micro switches. Here's where another CMOS switch is to be found and in black and red (nice touch) the on/off and reset switch. The reset switch also displays HDD activity and the ON/OFF switch a power ON light. Simple, easy and funky.

We discussed them a couple of times already.  The 4x PCIe graphics ports and additional PCI bus (black one) to the middle right, and all the way to the far left a PCIe 1x bus as well. Quite handy when you stuffed all slots full with SLI and PhysX. You could use it for an audio or TV card.

Right, you feel it coming already don't you ? This is the stage where we start to install the system. First off we seat the processor and lube her up. Always lube it mate ;)

And one you power it up, the NB passive cooler has a red LED in it fading slowly on and off .. like heart pumping blood into your system. Pretty cool, borrowed idea from the Rampage II Extreme we think. Let's check out some of the BIOS features.

eVGA x58 SLI Classified review
eVGA developped the X58 SLI Classified motherboard. An X58 based motherboard with more features, more design and aesthetics that make you scratch that head of yours. Armed at the really enthusiast end-users that wanted to create something so special and exclusive that it would bring shock and awe in the retail channel.

EVGA X58 SLI review
Today we'll test the fifth X58 motherboard in a row. This time from the folks at eVGA. They recently released their eVGA X58 SLI motherboard loaded with features. Tagged with a 299 USD sales price this motherboard seem to be very impressive. But since it's eVGA, they decided that this motherboard should be all about overclocking, and nothing else. We'll cover the motherboard from A to Z, and to spice it up a little I'll slap on some water-cooling and overclock our processor towards 4.2 GHz, stable.
