EVGA X299 DARK, X299 FTW K and X299 Micro Motherboards are introduced for the latest processor. And all of these support multiple GPU. EVGA today introduced three new X299 chipset motherboards designed for the new Intel platform. That gives life from the most economical Core i5 quad-core to the new Core i9 processors with up to 18 cores for the most enthusiastic segment.
EVGA X299 DARK Specifications
First of all, we have the EVGA X299 DARK, a motherboard with a dual eight pin EPS connector, four DIMM slots. And an EATX PCB specifically designed for overclocking. The EVGA X299 Dark has triple BIOS for enhanced security in case of corruption and a PCIe port configuration. That allows the installation of multiGPU configurations of up to 4 cards, in addition to an increasingly standard PCIe 3.0 x4.
Particularly noteworthy is the largely installed chipset heatsink which also serves as a heatsink for the three M.2 units. This one has a fan that converts the entire heatsink into an active cooling element so that proper temperatures in both the Chipset as in NV.2 M.2 disks are fully secured. And for storage, there are two ports U.2 and 8 SATA 3.0.
EVGA X299 FTW K Specifications
The second model is the new EVGA X299 FTW K. Which has 8 DIMM slots, a VRM design similar to the previous one. But with a heatsink connected to a heat pipe from the VRMs to the Chipset.
The storage features, in this case, are repeated with three M.2 slots, two U.2 ports, and eight SATA III ports. While the PCI configuration no longer allows four GPU configurations but in turn allows the PCIe x4 port. One of these will always be free because we can install three GPU configurations.
EVGA X299 Micro Specifications
The latest board introduced is the new X299 Micro, this time in micro-ATX format. That board comes with a single EPS 8 pin power connector. And this new board has four DIMM slots, two M.2, one U.2 port and three SATA III ports.
The provision of PCIe slots allows the installation of multi-GPU systems with two graphics cards. Although there are three available slots, so we can connect anything or even a system of three GPUs if we have cards that occupy a single slot even with liquid cooling.
At the time no release dates have been confirmed, but we hope that these new motherboards will be available very soon in the market.
