EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard Review


Wed 2009-01-07 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Canucks have posted an impressive review of the EVGA X58 SLI motherboard, which supports the new Intel Core i7 LGA 1366 processors.

Let's see what they had to say:

"The market for this platform knows what they want, where to get it, and are willing to pay for it so the price isn't that large of a shadow being cast over the landscape. Instead, the stability, compatibility, and strength of features is what customers are looking for from an X58 platform and the EVGA X58 SLI is quite strong in all three categories. We have spent a lot of time in the EVGA forums as of late and the rash of memory incompatibility threads that seem to plague motherboards these days just aren't present with the X58 SLI. The amount of users posting about fully stable and happy setups are plentiful and our sample has been nothing but a treat to work with. It has been crunching WCG on all eight threads of the processor as well as F@H on two GTX 280s for the last few weeks when not benchmarking and stability has been excellent, even with a rather hefty overclock. The feature set of the X58 SLI we looked at today speaks for itself with the biggest feature being the EVGA support that comes with the hardware. It would be hard not to put the EVGA X58 SLI on a list of potential motherboards when setting up your i7 system, whether you simply need a daily driver, 1/4 mile benchmarking dragster, or a nice combination of both."


As we have come to expect from EVGA, the company have done a supreme job with this motherboard and it easily ranks as one of the best X58 models on the market right now.
