The EVGA X58 SLI Classified Hydro Copper Edition raises the bar for enthusiast grade motherboards everywhere. This motherboard has the newest technology of all – 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. The board also uses a specially designed copper water block on the chipset for overclocking ability using liquid-cooling. The EVGA X58 Classified Hydro Copper Edition motherboard is engineered for those liquid-cooling who need the best performance that exists on this planet.

Also this motherboard supports new architectural change in the x86 CPUs in 13 years, the Intel Core i7. The EVGA X58 SLI introduces a new era for extreme performance. It is an X58-based motherboard that supports Intel’s new generation extreme performance Core i7 Processors and both SLI and CrossFireX! Furthermore engineers built inten SATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 gives you plenty of storage options and the ability to use enterprise quality hard drives with speeds of up to 10,000 RPMs. Memory support includes up 6 DIMMs of Triple Channel DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600MHz. With this motherboard Intel has brought back Hyperthreading technology and combined it with a native quad-core design to give support for 8 seperate threads in the new LGA1366 / Socket B CPU interface and their replacement for the old Front Side Bus technology, QuickPath Interconnect provides a system bus speed of up to 6.4GT/s. The three PCI-Express 2.0 slots take full advantage of either 2 or 3 graphics cards.
This new motherboard delivers all new technologies and performance that can be bought on the market today. Even it’s created by the EVGA, one of the cheapest manufacturers, you can buy it at TigerDirect for $579
