bar Cy what have we got here it seems to
be the elusive EVGA x58 3x SL
motherboard as outlined 16 times on the
packaging it does support SLI technology
and you can also see if you look really close at the small writing on the back
uh supports Crossfire X so we're going to be doing an unboxing on this
motherboard and showing you all the cool accessories that come with it and uh
stay tuned
so I've never opened up this board before either I'll be as surprised as
you by what's inside here we have a rich accessory package
including a visual guide to your new x58
SLI motherboard this is actually pretty cool it gives you some need information
like which are your primary memory channels so you want to use the green
slots first and then the black ones it also shows you what all of the headers
and ports and buttons are for on the motherboard itself and it gives you a
super zoomed in view including some instructions on how to install all the
components on your board and get set up also present in the Box for the EVGA
x58 3x SLI motherboard is a manual a
driver CD which normally wouldn't even be worth a mention but this one does
include evga's new Elite overclocking utility so you can actually overclock
theoretically very well in a Windows environment which is great you've got
your usual cables some SATA cables IDE
and then you've got these back IO plate adapters you got fire wire USB and a
Serial adapter if you're actually still using that with your $400 x58
motherboard an IO shield and you've got
a tri SLI and a dual SLI Bridge so next
up is the motherboard evga's x58 motherboard
includes a lot of really good features particularly for enthusiasts and
overclockers such as the speaker and reset power and clear seimo switches all
being right there on the board you've also got right angle SATA connectors
over on this side which means that it's not going to interfere with any
fulllength graphics cards they've completely redesigned the cooling
Solution on this board so you have a South Bridge North Bridge kind of cooler
here which hopefully with the new redesigned fan will improve on the fan
noise of previous EVGA motherboards and and then you can see that it's
completely disconnected maybe you can't see that from the mosfet cooler which is
very shiny which means that if you were to Mother water cool the North Bridge
and the South Bridge you wouldn't necessarily have to remove the mosfet cooler like you would with a lot of
modern motherboards now on the back panel you can see EVGA is given special
attention to enthusiasts with a clear seos buttton as well as including a
legacy PS2 keyboard Port which is great for overclocking because sometimes USB
ports are not recognized correctly as soon as a PS2 port for making BIOS
adjustments last but not least you've got your CPU socket for your core i7 CPU
and six memory slots for up to 12 gigs of
memory so to close out this unboxing and
uh sort of product Spotlight on the EVGA x58 motherboard we are going to play
motherboard frisbee so if I could get the cameraman to go
long
