EVGA announced the novel Intel X299 motherboard in addition to gave Elite members the get-go crevice on them.
The novel EVGA X299 Dark motherboard supports Intel X-series (Skylake-X or Kaby Lake-X) processors, but board capabilities differ significantly depending on the CPU yous install. Skylake-X processors volition bask the purpose of all 4 DIMM retentivity for quad-channel functioning alongside DDR4-4000 to 64GB (4 x 16GB) memory, but Kaby Lake-X CPUs tin only access ii retentivity slots for dual-channel operation. The other ii DIMMs volition non work, in addition to thus, the Kaby Lake CPU tin only back upwards 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-4133 retentivity on Dark XGA XGA.
PCIe connectivity is also segmented, alongside a 5 x16 EVGA X299 Dark slot that supports 4-way SLI graphics configuration alongside 44-way Skylake-X processor, 3-way SLI alongside 28-lane CPU (Skylake-X), in addition to 2-SLI alongside Kaby Lake-X processor (which has only xvi PCIe lines).
For storage, the EVGA X299 Dark features a full of 8 6Gbps SATA ports (six of the Intel X299 PCX, ii of ASMedia ASM1061 controllers), ii U.2 ports, in addition to 3 M.2 interfaces. Again, the connectivity of these ports depends on which CPUs are installed, but EVGA makes it tardily to figure out yesteryear including printed PCBs that serve equally visual guides, which dot path failure.
Crave Windows XP fans?
The Dark EvGA X299 motherboard is designed alongside fans inwards mind, featuring 12 layers of PCB, PWM stage 16, external BCLK clock generator, VRM in addition to cooled CAM-CAM, in addition to higher golden content on LGA2066 CPU socket. There are also tools including triple BIOS, PCIe switch connectors, quad-SLI graphics support, in addition to back upwards for Windows XP (you tin read them correctly, Windows XP) via ASMedia ASM1061 controller (two 6Gbps SATA ports on the board).
We reached out to EVGA to confirm this, in addition to non only XGA Universal X299 supports Windows XP, but the companionship also sends drivers to the quondam OS alongside the board of directors. We're non sure what OS back upwards requests are outdated, but EVGA seems to hold upwards the only manufacturer offering Windows XP drivers alongside X299 motherboards.
Members only (for now)
The EVGA X299 Dark is available instantly for $ 499.99 from the companionship website, but only for EVGA Elite members. There are 3 ways to qualify equally an Elite member: EVGA members who bring purchased in addition to registered the EVGA GTX qualified graphics carte equally the master possessor entered automatically, equally good equally the members who bring purchased in addition to registered at to the lowest degree ii EVGA products inwards the end. . 12 months. However, purchasing is non the only agency to expire an Elite Member; EVGA members alongside at to the lowest degree 100 forum posts are also qualified.
Although it seems somewhat counterproductive to offering products solely to members of the EVGA Elite, the EVGA X299 Dark volition most sure enough hold upwards up to other stores inwards the coming weeks.
