    Features of EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI

    I have heard that EVGA has exposed its high-end motherboard and video card duo, the X58 Classified 4-Way SLI and the Classified GTX 285. Now I am very eager to know about it. I am looking for its specifications and features, so that I can think buying it. Also please comment your views about this board. It would be really helpful, if you guys provide all information (including heat-sink, chipset, etc.) in details. I am guessing that someone hanging out there will lend a helpful hand.

    At first glance, the User acknowledges that taking the red and black is the dominant role in the design of the motherboard. A highly successful combination that enhances the distinctive appearance of the EVGA offspring. All the components were adjusted to the smallest detail in color. Even the CPU socket and the entire heat pipe received a black nickel. The main heat sink in addition a cover sheet, in a pulsating red LED is installed. In addition, the buyer finds the EVGA logo and the understated words "Classified" on it. The latter specifies a series of hardware manufacturer, which settled by particularly good OC behavior and is targeted at extreme overclockers. To support the cooling effect, EVGA mounted a small fan on the fins of the heat pipe. This is absolutely essential, as the Northbridge and Southbridge produce in conjunction with two Nforce 200 chips enough heat. But in the test run outside the case, there was no temperature problems. The entire layout of the "4-Way SLI" is very thought out. Hardly a component made in the construction of the test system led to problems or incompatibilities. Only the placement of the front-panel audio connector could be better. The massive heat pipe results in some large CPU coolers also to mounting difficulties. So can the brawny Noctua NH-D14 at the top only block out. For Dice-or LN2 pot of course but should be enough. The RAM banks are in a common close to the CPU socket, just as is the case with most LGA1366 Boards. The seven PCI-E 2.0 slots are placed as usual, only the quantity is extraordinary.

    Asus P6T7 WAS only the super computer the same number. In return, increase the size of the motherboard and is for other types of slot no room left. The advantage of this slot-set is that now four cards in the multi-GPU setup can be used together and which is connected with a full 16 lanes. A CrossfireX team can be used without restriction on the board. Will the user connect but four Nvidia cards together, he must consider some things. 4-way SLI can take place only under certain conditions. Thus, the appropriate GTX-285 Classified graphics cards are from the same manufacturer required that include the appropriate technology. But here it is not easy retail cards, but custom made extreme overclockers pendants with matching power supply and other extras. Probably the trick is in the driver two GTX 295 to achieve the desired effect. Since the Intel X58 chipset UltraDMA 133 no longer supported, EVGA has placed two Micron controller on the motherboard. This one IDE and two SATA ports available space on the motherboard. Of the latter there are a total of 8. An interface for the floppy drive is not present. The I / O panel itself acts also richly endowed. Here the user makes to a whopping eight USB, eSATA, one Firewire and two LAN ports and a PS / 2 interface. At latter can be with failed BIOS updates a great help, because sometimes no more USB devices are detected.

    Of course, also have the 7.1 audio ports available, the control of built-in Realtek ALC889 chip is carried out. In addition, there is also a port to use the EVGA EVBots and a CMOS Restet button on the I / O panel. To supply the CPU in extreme situations, stable and with enough power, EVGA is a ten phase, digital power supply board and donated the two EPS ports. As normal, however, the 24-pin ATX connector are described. This gets them used four graphics cards, no stability problems, the manufacturer placed at the top PCI-E slot another 4-pin Molex connector, which provides enough power available. The "4-Way SLI Classified" were not such a special board if they do not see many small details were thought out. Thus, the user at the bottom of the board a power and reset button and see another CMOS reset button. Also soldered to the manufacturer with a mini-speaker and a debug-poster with the current operation, the CPU temperature can be displayed. In the area of the IDE connector, jumpers are set to disable single PCI-E slots. The voltage measurement points above the RAM slots in the operation prove to be very useful. On the opposite page, below, sits another jumper that will realize the stable operation below 0 ° C. A careful look, also, that all pins and connectors are gold plated on the board. This is protected from corrosion (especially when using liquid nitrogen or helium, or dry ice) and the associated voltage and signal deviations.

    After the simple removal of the heat pipe, the two nForce 200 chips as well as North and South Bridge are visible. Thanks to both Nvidia shoots the number of available lanes rises to 64 Just above the PCI-E slots, just sitting next to the IOH one of the two. The other Nforce 200 chip is located slightly above the ICH. Sorry, can not disable both by reducing the voltage. In the test, while introducing the board to start, but a picture is not output. EVGA fixed the cooling of the motherboard with easily removable screws. Thus, a simple growing is guaranteed. Another small heat sink perched on the voltage converters of the CPU. As a nice little bonus proves the EVGA Control Panel, version 2, which only has a reset and power button still has a CMOS reset button. Even the debug poster has found the way to the little helper.

    In addition, there are three small buttons, which can increase the CPU Vcore to 0.1 volts and twice the VTT voltage to 0.1 volts also. In addition, four of the seven PCI-E jumper are located on the small circuit board. But here, the user must be alert, because the label does not match together on the motherboard. The whole thing is connected with the included cables. This requires a few jumpers on the "4-Way SLI" be removed. The front-panel connector will also be used.

    I would like to discuss about the Bios. The Award BIOS, sits by and large, not from that of the competition. Only the menu item "Frequency / Voltage Control" provides access to very many configuration options to bring the hardware to its limits. The highlight is its diversity. Unfortunately, on the main board just put a BIOS chip. Another would turn out, especially in extreme situations or updates very helpful. Thanks to the iso file from EVGA is a BIOS update is no challenge more dar. Just burn to a rewritable CD or DVD and then boot from it. Dangers that can occur with BIOS upgrade programs on Windows, are excluded from this. In addition, the user may manage BIOS security settings. After opening of the point, three sub-menus are visible. These provide access to the onboard equipment. Everything is deactivated, even the two Micron controller. Hidden there also a setting that allows you to display CPU temperature on the debug poster. At some point, the voltages and temperatures of the main components to be read. Moreover, three of the four fan connectors show the read speed. Besides, the user may set the fan control individually.
