When EVGA announced their first Classified motherboard back with X58 I saved up my money so I could get one soon after its launch. The X58 Classified was one of the first mega high end motherboards on the market and it started a race to the top to see who could make the coolest motherboard possible while trying to pack in the highest overclocking headroom as possible. From then on EVGA has introduced Classified motherboards for each Intel chipset launched. They have even expanded into Classified GPUs as well! Well with the launch of X99 it wasn't a big surprise that EVGA would be ready to go with their latest and greatest based on the new enthusiast chipset. Today I?m going to see how it compares to the other X99's on the market and see just how far things have come from the X58 Classified that is still hanging on my office wall.
