The EVGA Z68 FTW motherboard is the flagship product in the Z68 range. It is beefy in features and physical size as this motherboard follows the EATX Form Factor at 30cm by 26 cm wide. That means you'll need a chassis that supports that specific format. The motherboard has a delicious 6 PCI Express x16 slots, along with a number of jumpers that can disable one or more of them (handy in extreme overclock sessions). The EVGA Z68 FTW is a motherboard that has a 12-phase PWM circuitry and dual 8-pin CPU power connectors to keep current flowing stable at even the highest overclocks. Funky to see is the 90 degrees angled 24-pin power plug and features like triple BIOS. It doesn't stop there though, no Sir. You may pop in DDR3 2133 MHz memory, it has 2 SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, 4 SATA 3.0 Gbps connectors, dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, 7.1 HD audio channel and eSATA, plus a debug LED and Power, Reset and Clear CMOS buttons. Overclocking itself was a breeze, you can manually select how to overclock, preferably you simply increase the Turbo multipliers and find a corresponding stable CPU voltage with it. We have an Intel 2600K processor, our limit on this processor is varying from 4800 to 5000 MHz differing per motherboard. With this eVGA motherboard we had a stable 4900 MHz and as you have seen we included the results in our benchmark suite. Superb cooling and better yield CPUs will no doubt go higher easily on this awesome motherboard. Read more »
