EVGA Z68 Unboxing and Overview

[FlossBandit]

where's my goddamn case badge? i bent the one that came with my gpu and was looking forward to this shit.

[TheSpoonalot]

what was the tower at 4:06?

[GuitarBoyEvan]

Mac usurers are like what?

[nicholaschean]

I believe the frost bite is part of the money i paid for the mobo

[productstoavoid]

Worse MB I ever owned! 3 RMA and the USB ports have just failed on my current EVGA Z68 MB. Do not buy! EVGA knows there is a USB 3.0 port flaw, but will not own-up to it.

EVGA has gone down hill.

[tuflymaoriguy]

i noticed you said the ev gauge comes with the evga p67 ftw model 5:13, does it also come with the z68 sli model?

[frozenskipper]

It's the music in the old linustechtips intro's :D

[bobiana289]

Awshome I get free frostbite when i buy any Z68 board. It might hurt, but its FREE, Right???

[TheSecretCobra]

As a video editor, I instantly recognize that stock music lol.

[111olbap]

@hTux256 Bro. You don't call an SSD a hard drive. SSD. Solid state disc. HDD. Hard disk drive. Believe me. I'm in the 80ish percentile in terms of computer knowledge and frequently school people at the parts store when I pick stuff up. Calling an SSD a hard drive is a massive error. You're wrong. Period. End of conversation.

[axerer6]

@111olbap No one gives a fuck, go back to your bridge.

[111olbap]

WTF IS AN SSD HARD DRIVE YOU DUMBASS? It's an SSD. Solid State Drive. It's not hard.

[94XJ]

@111olbap Lol...SSDs are hard...I certainly wouldn't refer to them as floppy.

[111olbap]

@94XJ Word my brother :). If you get a soggy SSD RMA that sucker.

[ZzarkZul]

sucks, i'd get one of these boards but none have a PCI slot for sound cards :(

[bcouillonneur]

lol its missing a IDE cable lol j/k

[k24boy123]

does anyone know if the evga heatsink is any good? in comparision to the A70, megahalems, True..etc or whatever else..just curious.

[lpjz290]

@k24boy123 I believe hardware canucks has a review of this particular evga cooler. they said it's an excellent choice for low-cost cooling, but it tends to be slightly noisier.

[snowmobileracer69]

Would be a better video if every other word wasn't EVGA...



[TheWoWRevelation]

hmm the ftw would be nice a future proof, but lets wait for x79 bebeh!

[Madblaster89]

pssh i'mma wait for x79 motherboards and get the next extreme cpu.

[aznsoljacs]

Whens the z68 FTW coming out? Trying to build a new rig soon

[VIPLeague]

5:15 Are you guys talking about Z68 or P67? Or you don't know yourself what you are talking about?

[EnixDark88]

omg who would need 3 graphics cards and one more less powerful one for physx? Oo are you guys crazy? i have one 580 gtx ds dc from EVGA and its more then enough ;)

[Omanlp]

@EnixDark88 Ever heard of bargains? Where you get dual gpu's for a decent price? Besides.. People rarely afford such gpu's like 580. Personally I don't lol.. So I'd rather get myself a 3 way SLI gradually in time.

[EnixDark88]

@Omanlp just for playin games i dont need 3 or 4 way sli setup. i am not a bencher ;)

[DrDarkAssassin]

good choice going all black/grey - it will go well in any build :)

[IAMTHEPROCESSOR]

Yup I am getting this evga ftw asus failed me!

[Barnaby0014]

Do you need a new cable for Sata 3 or can I use any sata cable

[demonik5150]

oh my.... :O

[TheEVGAftw]

when will i see this on newegg?

[TheEVGAftw]

when will i see this on newegg?

[demaciu88]

no HDMI output? wtf? do you even have a computer?

[Amuffin456]

@demaciu88 Thats why we use graphics cards lmao

[goattke]

@demaciu88 Apparently you know NOTHING about the potential of the Z68 boards do you? If you have an onboard graphics output and the board manufacturer bundles the Lucid Virtu software then it will choose the proper graphics output for whatever task you're doing. The Intel HD 2000/3000 will take any video card on the market and slap it around when it comes to video transcoding. Also, if the discrete GPU isn't needed, the software will put it in a "sleep mode" saving a lot on power consumption.

[SWIZZskipi]

release date in Germany ????

[dustynapalm]

there was no reason to unbox, these guis made the mobo.

[cal920c]

EVGA boards have gone downhill, when it comes to the features and layout.

[buttermilch1989]

Z68 and no graphics output such as HDMI? Sucks...

[TheNoooiiin]

@buttermilch1989

lol...

I think nobody will buy such a board and use the onboard graphic

[buttermilch1989]

@TheNoooiiin You don't seem to know what the Z68 chip set is capable of when the board has a graphics output. Not including one is a huge waste of potential.

[AlecJB]

@TheNoooiiin Agreed!

[theone2030]

evga FTW !!!

[tiagom135]

this was a total waste of my life.

[archolon]

Intro music from Android Central? Git your own intro EVGA!

[kevinsmammaxd]

lol the intro is linustechtips old one

[NotisExtreme]

there was a time when i was really into computers.........guess what happened..... i got a girlfriend ahahahahahahaha

[kassenz]

Wondering if its worthing investing in one of these and a Sandy 2600k or waiting Bulldozer

[onoff314]

Evga takes way to long to get products on the market

[frank141289]

@onoff314 it only happens with motherboards

[onoff314]

@frank141289 gtx570/80 classified is way to late to the game

[ilovetrains12]

That "Cable Hideaway" scene made me lol. That is probably the worst cable management I have ever seen. Except for pre-builts or "just throw it all in and make it work" builders. The evgague is a total joke. The ecp v3 is the best thing of the video. I will say I love you guys though. I own a p55 FTW 200 and it rocks, as well as a evga GTX 560ti Crysis 2, which I hit 1000 core, easy. But for my next mobo, if it's z68, I'll probably go with the gigabyte g1.sniper 2. But I like the FTW. That's a s

[slipknotjake]

How many times did he say EVGA and z68? WE KNOW WHAT IT IS!

[UnstoppableBird]

hmm i think i will go for asus G1 version 2.... they just have a lot more features

[Faycal16DZ]

where's the guy with the hat? ^^

[bloodreighn]

:D I have had that case badge for over a month now, it came with my gtx560, and it is quite a nice badge too!

[FedoraFTW]

does this board use Lucid?

[oOcrazy95Oo]

ugly mobo :/

[MercedesBenzE300D]

Hey evga guys. Seriously, what took you so long?!

I would have happily purchased a mobo from you but didn't want to wait too long.

I waited for a month to see if you guys come out with the P67.

If I would have waited longer, then I would have had to wait for over 6months..

And now I'm happily running Z68 Maximus IV Gene-Z

[captainclayman]

lol the intro music sounds like a porno song

[brett1234]

@captainclayman

it basically is porn for nerds

[JackKnifeAlpha]

@captainclayman So does the outro music. xD

[WeztNinja]

@captainclayman Who said this isnt porn ?



[gunart84]

@captainclayman I LIKE HAHA.

[erdnAEkengren]

@captainclayman Yeah? It is porno?

[matawin2]

@captainclayman its the old linus tech tips theme

[MrSuckmyballs32]

nice boards nice video cards, now if only EVGA made their own ram and cpu's you could brag to your friends that your whole system is made by EVGA.

AR products with life-time warranty, cant get any better than that

[Hekynn]

Very nice motherboards I love the PCI layout on the mid range version. :)

[kevinsdb1]

Its about time EVGA you guys sure took your sweet ass time getting these out.

[mario11168]

@kevinsdb1 EVGA makes the best, better to wait than to get a glitchy board.

But EVGA has also had the worst glitches...

[Zillerz3]

@kevinsdb1 waiting for quality is worth it

[Otaybay]

@kevinsdb1 lmfao

[GaryH315223]

i've been waiting and wanting this board to come out for so long i even closed my porn mid-way to watch this.

[BKsMassive]

Ive been waiting 3 months for this beast!

[jakass505]

il have to get one of them ftw versions at some point....

[FedoraFTW]

when will this be out?

plus wouldn't the P67 boards be better for gaming? i thought lucid brought down gaming performance.

[mikezard123]

@FedoraFTW Not all Z68 boards support lucid, and seeing as they didn't mention it evga might very well not support it (Gigabyte doesn't have it either). As a sidenote I'm pretty sure that it doesn't affect gaming performance at all, seeing as you can set it to just use the discrete GPU on it's own while gaming.

[Typhoon10UK]

@mikezard123 Gigabyte do now. With the Z68XP models.

[lazarra101]

@Serutos because this mobo is damn sexy!

[Serutos]

whats up with the porn music at the beginning?

[TheStarfox707]

cool

[1337Roflc0pt3r]

Can't wait :D

[bmw2go11]

@_@

amazing
