The EVGA X99 FTW was engineered from the ground up to win. A highly efficient 8-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 performance user.
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, and 8 Channel HD Audio with Optical.
Of course, no great motherboard can truly flex its muscles without a great BIOS. The EVGA X99 FTW 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.
