X99 Classified Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 EATX Motherboard
The EVGA X99 Classified was engineered from the ground up to be the best overclocking motherboard on the planet. It all starts with power. Dual 8pin CPU power inputs provide up to 600W of dedicated power for the CPU, along with a highly efficient 10-phase Digital VRM providing the cleanest power to the CPU possible, fed through a CPU socket that has 1.5X the amount of gold content. A total of 8 DIMM slots support up to 128GB of DDR4 memory, and a 4 layer memory T-routing design allows for extreme memory speeds such as 3000MHz+ (OC). The PCI-E layout is optimized for improved lane distribution and better performance, and with native support for NVIDIA 4-Way SLI, this is the ultimate platform for the enthusiast.
A great amount of detail was also paid attention to the onboard devices, including a total of 10 native SATA 6.0Gb/s ports, Dual Intel Gigabit Networks, native USB 3.0 support, M.2 support, and Creative Core3D Audio with dedicated shielding and a separate audio ground.
Of course, no great motherboard can truly flex its muscles without a great BIOS. The EVGA X99 Classified uses EVGA's new GUI BIOS that focuses on the best overclocking support and functionality. Straight and to the point, the way a modern BIOS should be.

I really like this mobo. The BIOS is a pleasure to use, the layout of the board is sensible.
- The external backplate for the rear-facing I/O ports is really very annoying. It's a rubbish thin piece of metal which you need to bend in order to get the IO ports through it. A bit frustrating, but once it's on you don't need to think about it.
- The internal cover for the I/O ports (the black one) is anice touch, I wish they'd made the external one black instead of silver.
- One USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 internal header really isn't enough...
- The board runs fairly cool with a haswell i7-extreme cpu. The VRM cooler gets warm, but I've never felt it hot. I'm watercooling the CPU, though it hasn't been overclocked.
- The headers are really nicely laid out... the downward-facing USB 3 header is a fantastic idea, and all the headers are quite well positioned.
