Announcing EVGA's X58 Classified

EVGA is ready to announce the ULTIMATE in X58 motherboards. Simply put, the EVGA X58 Classified motherboard goes beyond anything that was ever imagined in the past and raises the bar for enthusiast grade motherboards everywhere. With never before seen features such as 3-way SLI + PhysX + 1x PCIe device on a single board, 2 8pin +12V connectors capable of delivering 600 watts of power, 10 phase Digital PWM with a switching frequency of up to 1333KHz, three times the amount of normal gold content in the CPU socket and much, much more. The EVGA X58 Classified motherboard is engineered for those who demand more than just the best.

Quote:

"Many Manufacturers are stuffing the CPU Core Power Circuitry with endless phases without looking at the big picture. We take a very first to very last approach instead." said Peter "Shamino" Tan, Overclocking Evangelist for EVGA. "First the +12v comes into the board through the 8 pin CPU Power Connector. We remove the bottleneck here by doubling the current input capability with dual +12v. Next, the +12v is processed through a beefy 10 phase Digital PWM with a switching frequency of up to 1,333KHz, twice the speed of typical Digital PWMs and three times the speed of typical Analogue! Furthermore, you can adjust the switching frequency through the BIOS from 800KHz to 1,333KHz, deciding between power efficiency and heavy overclocking or benching.

"Next, a super-low ESR and ESL film capacitor placed right behind the CPU socket ensures the cleanest power goes into your CPU. This finally passes on to a high quality CPU socket with three times the normal amount of gold content for the lowest impedance and highest current transfer, and of course, the socket is anodized a slick shiny black!"

Woot can't waot to get my hands on this.

Hopefully they fixed last night server issues for this...

It's about time. I'm still sticking with my Rampage II extreme. Theres no reason to move to this "CLASSIFIED". Their website isn't properly working at the moment.

Nope, still having issues right now. I can't really get to my products page to see if I can step-up.

Sweet...Now I can trade in my sig rig for a motherboard!!

Really though, I'd give me body parts for this board, especially left ones..

Jeeze. This would be the only reason I'd buy an Nvidia board...

God that's sexy. Words can't begin to describe...

EDIT: Oh woah...easy to use voltage reading points ONBOARD? *jizz*

~Gooda~

EVGA apparently know what they are doing when it comes down to pricing. Sure someone would spend an extra 50 dollars over the Asus Rampage II extreme. This board is not revolutionary nor is it exceptional to charge such prices. I really couldn't care that if has the Nf200 chip.

Let's wait until we see some benchmarks. The NF200 is only one of the new features.

Do you do anything other than troll?

I don't see EVGA making Crossfire compatible boards (except X58...). I consider them a Nvidia-only company...

i think its crossfire capable though... EDIT: oh wait i read that wrong... yeah, they're pretty much intel's butt-buddy, but to go as far as insulting an intel chipset as an nvidia one...

Anandtech already benchmarked the Classified board.

I think we're both confused here.

I'm not insulting Intel...

Got a link? I thought Anandtech only previewed the board.

It's a preview but still gives an insight into performance with the Nf200.

Looks like an awesome board, still needs some time for the nf200 to get to its potential drivers wise.
