They say when you find a winning formula you stick with it. That isn't to say that you cannot innovate but when it comes to computer hardware I am of the opinion that radically changing things just for the sake of change rarely works out. Most of the time it hurts consumers either by leaving them with 100% hype and only 10% product or it changes the perception of the company so much you no longer know what to expect.

EVGA is very methodical in their product designs by reusing what works and making small tweaks to fit growing market conditions. They also listen to their consumers about what works and what should be changed making many of the products crowd sourced in a way. Together this builds a very solid base to build on that is also strangely progressive.

In this review I'll be looking at the new EVGA Z170 Classified motherboard. Like previous versions this is the top of the line edition for the high-end computer enthusiast looking to get the most from their computer. These might inlcude custom system builds, multi-GPU setups, high-end gaming and any level of overclocking you can imagine.
