EVGA put a serious amount of time, energy and effort into the design of this motherboard, and it shows in all the features and extras this motherboard has. This is no amateur product, in fact it’s really a motherboard that is geared toward overclocking professionals who want the quality components, and overclocking capabilities the new 3X SLI Classified has to offer. This motherboard is a bit on the pricey side and only those who are looking for the highest of the high-end motherboard will find themselves buying this board. The board looks absolutely great too and has ample room for many after market CPU coolers, which on a board like this is a very good design implementation.

Overall, EVGA has done a good job with this board; however there are a few drawbacks to a motherboard of this caliber. You must also use high end parts along with it, for example low end power supplies and cheap memory will not work well in the 3X SLI Classified motherboard. Luckily our friends at Kingston provided us with some really high-end triple channel DDR3 and Thermaltake gave us a power supply that also matched the quality of the 3X SLI Classified. If you want the absolute best in features and overclocking options, the 3X SLI Classified is one of the most modern products available on the market, its gets a solid Hot Product Award and shows EVGA going further into the realm of overclockers.
