Recently we've seen EVGA's previews for their upcoming X79 Classified and SR-3 motherboards. Now they've shown another enthusiast X79 motherboard - the X79 FTW. This E-ATX motherboard is a step below the X79 Classified, although still packs some impressive features.
Details
The X79 FTW includes 100% POSCAPS which are very reliable solid electrolytic chip capacitors. Like the X79 Classified, a right-angled 24-pin motherboard connector is included for cleaner cable management in your case. Four DIMM slots are present - two on each side of the CPU socket. The X79 FTW also utilizes a UEFI BIOS and has both PCI-E and DIMM disable switches, EVBot support, onboard bluetooth, and supports Tri-SLI with an additional single slot GPU.
As you can see, there are a total of six PCI-E slots; all but one can run at x16 or x8 speed. A single 8-pin CPU connector is visible, six onboard SATA ports (two of which are SATA III), and on the I/O panel you'll see a CMOS reset switch, many USB 3.0 connectors, and a PS/2 port made its return.
Remember, this is just a sneak peek at the motherboard! We'll have many more details on this motherboard and others in the near future.
