EVGA seems to lack on all those bells and whistles of the competitions, coming with subtle and understated look. Hmmmm..... not sure I like it or not, a part of me likes it, and a part of me don't

That mITX board-> EVGA Stinger is killing it. At 200 bucks is definitelly cheaper than Asus Maximus Impact series while having some awesome stuff under the hood. No express sata, but not a big deal at all.

Mature looks. :)

Beside, mobo is difficult to look at, most of the time your mobo will be obstructed by cables, HSF, pump, tube, sound card, or big GPU.

I hope that they finally fixed RAM overclocking on their boards.

Very poor VRM circutry, not allowing stable overclocking...


Go to see the Maximus Impact VRM board and compare it.

Just because the Impact goes overkill on a VRM daughter board, doesn't mean every other board is inferior.

But I woun't buy an EVGA motherboard due to their notorious issues with bios support.

I like the look, but wonder about the wisdom of right angled ports on the lower edge of the Classified.
