Look at the memory, 3-phase! 8 or 10 phase on the CPU. Idk how many on the NB.

eVGA First for me now. Does this do crossfire too? Sorry for tardness... Never thought I'd see the day. :s
evga has excellent customer support, and were the best choice for the nforce motherboards. I'm sure they will not dissapoint
Not sure yet.Quote:

What tier motherboards would evga be considered? Have they increased their quality since the 680s?

I've only had to ever RMA one mobo and it was a EVGA, So I guess so am I :yepp:Quote:

tho evga enthusiast boards (790 FTW for example) are cheaper than reference models, how ironic isn't?Quote:

What do you mean by power plugin?Quote:

I only see the 24-pin ATX main power connector. Is the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector hidden by the angle of the image?
^^ exactly I just see the 24 pinQuote:

I like this board, now that they dumped the NV chipsets I can go back to the vendor I who treated me so well when the 680i did not. :up:
however, I will not buy this board, maybe the second or third Intel based board they release :yepp:
I smell a super system in the works, Think about it, a Geforce GTX 280 FTW + 2 x 4870x2 in CrossfireX or 2 x GTX 280 in SLi and a 4870x2 or something. That will be one hell of system.
I just saw the motherboard pic and thought ''omfg, looks like a cheap china ripoff, what have you done EVGA?!''. Then I saw it was a early board :p
Well imo it still looks good, I like the space between PCI-E's , I like the Ferrit Chokes around the socket, and the whole layout :hehe: Yummy ...
Buying every X58 Board would be maybe the best thing to do
Bloooody hell I forgot about all the nVidia exclusive companies making the switch. Hmm ...
external cmos clear button! nice 1!
I love Evga's support, it's top notch, but I'll have to see the final release of this board. This version just looks...... kinda cheap.... and thrown together in a hurry.
In answer to that, Foreplay preview:

Better Quality:

2.16v Vcore @ 200 Amps -> 432w Continous, 1,000KHz PWM Frequency:
Typical Analog 300-400KHz, Typical Digital 800KHz…
Take note that only small ramsink on Mosfets, @ that kind of CPU load/heat you will be on LN2 and Temps will be much lower.
so then it uses the volterra chips with 1mhz switching?
at any rate, sounds like a stiff board.
