The Mainboard for the Champions – Engineered For The Win
Holding 4 new world records - http://www.futuremark.com/community/halloffame/
Brea, California and Munich, Germany - October 01, 2008 - EVGA Corporation, the leading-edge 3D processor and motherboard manufacturer, announces the latest EVGA-designed addition to its line of high-performance 3-Way-SLI-ready motherboards, the EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM. Engineered For The Win, early samples of this motherboard already set 4 new performance world records at NVIDIA’s NVISION in late August 2008 in San Jose, California. Featuring an EVGA enthusiast BIOS for extended range voltage settings, 100% solid state capacitors, 100% ferrite core chokes and an advanced 8 phase digital PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) power supply solution. The EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM runs superior and stable in extreme over-clocking environments to set even more new records. This advanced platform supports 2000+ MHz dual chan-nel DDR3 system memory and 1600+ MHz front side bus. Available on October 1, 2008, the EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM motherboard combines ulti-mate overclocking performance and next generation NVIDIA 3-Way and 2-Way SLI at a recommended retail price of $339.99 USD.
Advanced features introduced on the EVGA 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL mother-board:
- Intel socket 775 45nm CPU ready for Intel Core 2 Duo “Yorkfield” and Intel Core 2 Quad “Wolfdale”.
- 3x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots for highest PCIe bus bandwidth
- NVIDIA next generation SLI-2 certified, combining true SLI and PhysX in a 3-way-SLI configuration.
- EVGA 8 phase digital power supply design for utmost stability in extreme over-clocking environment (replacing a 6 phase analogue reference power supply).
- 100% solid state capacitors and all ferrite core chokes to precisely sharpen the signal and to reduce the signal’s noise to extend the over-clocking range.
- EVGA enthusiast BIOS for advanced over-clocking, including a complete menu of validated over-clocking voltage settings to also introduce the less ex-perienced enthusiast step-by-step to advanced voltage settings (Dummy OC from 5% - 25% over-clocking).
- Extreme manual over-clocking supported by an extended range of signal-stabilized BIOS voltage settings.
- “Vdroop” BIOS settings to extend and stabilize the over-clocking range at heavy CPU load.
- Supporting 2000+ MHz 128 bit dual-channel DDR3 memory and 1600+ MHz FSB.
- EVGA clear CMOS button, power- and reset button with EVGA status LED and EVGA CPU temperature indicator.
- Diagnostic LED for simplified trouble shooting
- 9 SATA-2 ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, JBOD
- HD Audio - 7.1 Channel, Azalia (HAD)
- 2 native 1Gb Ethernet connectors
- 10 USB 2.0 connectors
- 2 IEEE 1394 Firewire connectors
- Innovative sideway exhaust chipset cooling.

Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
