EVGA 758 - New Colors

832 Views 13 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  dopey
Just got my 758-A1 from ncix, and the color scheme is totally different, searched around and found zero info on this.

Personally I think it looks much better.

-All slots are now gray and black. No more green, blue, or white.
-The heatsink copper pipes are chromed out to match.
-All power connectors and fan headers are black, not white.

The accessories have changed somewhat: Used to have a 4 port usb bracket and a 1 port firewire, now they are combined into 1 bracket that has 2 usb and 1 firewire.

Had I known, I would have taken pics before the build, now you can't really see much, or I'd upload some pics for yas

Here's a crappy pic, can't see much but you can see it ain't the same... Yes, cable management is in order, just wanted to test everything before wasting time on aesthetics. So don't bring it up! lol

Eww at cable management! Joking


Maybe it's a NCIX-special?

Pretty cool, though.

I actually have no idea what I'll do with my 8pin - it's too short to go behind the board
maybe I'll get an extension..

Edit: aww, photobucket deleted my avatar...but apparently naked crotch shots are ok LMAO

Get the extension, it'll look awesome. I'd make it myself if I were you, though. That way you have the exact size you need.
if it doesn't affect stability i will definitely make an extension for it, as well as all the other crap like front panel etc. i hate wires, but i hate bad airflow even more. now we are OT.

Better pic of what one looks like:



This is why a few of you where saying this board is out of stock everywhere
Evga decided to not make a big deal out of it as all it is a re-colour. Specs wise the board is identical to the original.

Using a 8 pin extender won't effect stability

That is hot, i like that way better then mine.
Wicked, thanks Starbuck! Yeah I know the specs are the same but dam it looks so much better - unexpected surprise when I opened the box, as they haven't changed the box pic or said anything on their site..

cheers for the pic
They could have sleeved the NB fan wire, other than that I love it.

This is the only board recoloured. They did it so it would be consistent with the rest of the line.

Classified and Micro boards are Black and Red. Sli's, FTW's and LE's (so all the other boards) are Black and Grey
