EVGA Intros Affordable X58 SLI3 Motherboard

btarunr · Aug 31, 2010

EVGA released its newest socket LGA1366 motherboard, the EVGA X58 SLI3 (model: 131-GT-E767-TR). This model completes EVGA's lineup of new LGA1366 motherboards that pack USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s support, other models include the EVGA X58 FTW3 and EVGA X58 Classified3. Among the three, the X58 SLI3 is the most affordable, and targets a sub-$200 price point. The model and its overall design are derived from the X58 SLI, but with 2-port USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s controllers.

The LGA1366 socket is powered by a 6-phase VRM, it's wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots for triple-channel memory support. The motherboard supports all released Intel Core i7 LGA1366 processors, including the six-core models, out of the box. Expansion slots include one PCI-Express 2.0 x16, two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x8), two PCI-E x1, and one PCI. 2-way and 3-way SLI are supported. Apart from the six SATA 3 Gb/s ports from the ICH10R southbridge, there are two SATA 6 Gb/s ports (color coded red). Connectivity includes 8-channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 and a number of USB 2.0 ports. The EVGA X58 SLI3 is listed on the company's store, at US $199.99.

Because it is an "affordable" board. :laugh:

But be glad they didn't classify it as "budget", that would make the 24-pin move to the left side of the board, right to where the 8-pin is now. And probably the USB and audio headers scattered on the board, instead of neatly placed on the bottom.

I damn every motherboard that does not have it loacted near the edge of the board as anywhere else can be such a pain in the ass for cable management and more so with a big cooler. :banghead:

Although i admit other than that it looks like a pretty nice "affordable" board.

Considering a lot of cases have PSU at the bottom I don't see why you make such a big deal out of it.

Mine doesn't, for starters, and lot's of other affordable cases don't have it at the bottom either.

And lot's of affordable cases do have them on the bottom. Looks at rosewill's lineup of cases in the $40 range. Bottom mount psu, black painted interior. They make some pretty sharp cases.

TheLostSwede · Aug 31, 2010

It's still a terrible location, either which way. Why can't it be next to the 24-pin connector?
Well, I guess I can answer my own question, because it'd be a mess to do the traces that way and it would increase the complexity and cost of the board.
Once again, thanks to the ATX standard which is way outdated we're stuck with boards that has less than an ideal layout for the demands of a modern computer.

A bigger problem with this board imho is that both of the lower two x16 slots are only x8, so this board is not exactly ideal to use with two cards as EVGA didn't implement switching. I guess that's one way to cut cost...

Didn't EVGA lose their motherboard team?

This motherboard looks empty

Never really understood these budget 1366 boards. Why not save even more money and just go with Lynnfield?

bear jesus · Sep 1, 2010

It does not matter where the psu is it still means the cable has to be routed over the board, if its on the edge it's easyer to hide it away or with cases that have space behind the backplate hidden away back there, if its anywhere further in on the board cable has to be run across the board.

I admit though i dislike it even being in the top left corner of the board as i would love it to be over by the 24 pin connector.

Because at stock speeds, budget motherboards perform on par with $400 motherboards. It may still overclock past 4 GHz, and that would still trounce the Lynnfield.

Does thos 6G SATA ports supports RAID0 with P3 (corsair SATA 6Gbps ssd's) ?

Nailezs · Feb 15, 2011

i dont see why they wouldnt. SATA 3/III/6Gb/s is just a bandwidth standardization, and has nothing to do with raid. raid is a chipset function.
