by cracky what have we got here it seems to be the elusive EVGA x58 3x sli 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 and then it 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 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 mm-hmm a visual guide to your new x58 sli motherboard this is actually pretty cool it gives you some neat 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 zoom din 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 z' new elite overclocking utility so you can actually overclock theoretically very well in a Windows environment which is great you're throwing your usual cables some SATA cables I eat me and then you've got these back IO plate adapters you got firewire USB and a serial adapter if you're actually still using that with your $400 x58 motherboard an i/o shield and you've got a tri sli and a dual sli bridge so next up is the motherboard EVGA x58 motherboard includes a lot of really good features particularly for enthusiasts and overclockers such as the speaker and reset power and clear CMO switches all being right there on the you've also got right-angle SATA connectors over on this side which means that it's not going to interfere with any full-length 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 and other boards 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 pool 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 CMOS button 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 GPU and six memory slots for up to 12 gigs of memory so to close out this unboxing and sort of product spotlight on the EVGA x58 motherboard we are going to play motherboard frisbee so if I could get Cameron to go low
