[e46flexin]

I love these tigerdirect style review they go straight to the point better then those unboxing crap review. Thumbs up to this guy!

[ROTORHEADPR]

true dat what ireally get from this board in daxing fleming with across fier s it could really really mes it nup dats one .. now two voc 12.0 wont fuck wuit dat 3811c up ur really really nice native 36 56 so use ur memory ok x8x8x8 you can c it @2.35 from this video laragas up un dos tres ...tin " tnon" quien es??? (pregunta la abuelita ) ITS an 8116 very thick pcv nice and hard i think u gonna like it remember u can keep it in the case or u can open ur back panel conector

[Scott97169]

This motherboard is now made with a different color scheme i believe. On Newegg, the pictures show that it has black and gray.

[zasx20]

i still use dinosaurs for programing robots=)

[Arjun007ize]

nice one

[deltaswe]

Hi.

i`m thinking of get this board but i have an questions about the SLI.

I am planing to get 2 gtx 480 so i can run sli. If you put the gtx in the first and the second pci express x 16 slots it will run perfect right?. The only problem i think is the air flow. so i`m wondering if i can use the first and the third pci express slots and still be able to run it in x16 on both cards?

[kalfreak3]

@deltaswe you can run it in every slot you want you just need the sli bridge to be long enough ;P...

[Nitrous321]

@deltaswe first and third is for sli- quad sli and middle pci-x is for tri sli..

[deltaswe]

@Nitrous321

ye. but what speeds will i get if i try it my way??

[Whatacrybabygamer]

What a nub, The back plate "bracket" is on all X58 boards. Its part of the socket design it self. Not a "Feature". I laughed.

[cisco760ca]

luv this board but I HATE IT THAT I CANT UPDATE THE BIOS .its a pain .I can update any other board just cant with this one .

[Venddenta]

im getting one in a few weeks

[drastic209562]

I got the A1 model. I just notice that it aint the same color as the one shown here. Mine is grey and black which I think is bettter and oh yeah I just got a GTX 480SC. +1 for the noob!

[archolon]

@drastic209562 The newer motherboards have the grey theme. same Motherboard tho.

[1pcGAMER4ever1]

is this motherboard batter than the 790i ultra sli?

[AnimeWars2002]

For the record the EVGA E758-A1 and TR are slightly different from the model in this video. The Ram is 1600 native(and gray in color) and does not use the 8 pin. As for the difference between the TR and A1, from what I've read its simply package contents but the boards themselves are the exact same.

[drastic209562]

Can someone please tell me the difference between the 132-BL-E758-TR and the 132-BL-E758-A1 motherboard?

[EliteSoldier112]

@drastic209562 If you can get the A1 because it has lifetime warranty whereas the TR only has 3 years.

[manghi94]

Hi there, I'm actually not very used to build computers, so i was wondering if some of you can help me. My question is... All this PC's parts, would work in this mobo or Computer setting. This is the compuer i was building:

-Intel Core i7 920 (2.66GHz, LGA 1366, 4.8GT/s)

-EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard

-OCZ Gold Tri Channel 6GB DDR3

- Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 1GB DDR5

-Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB

I would be very greatfull if you answer me!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deagle94]

@manghi94 yup,every thing you got is compatible, you might want to ad an sdd so your windows and operations would load faster.

[therawrawr]

@manghi94 First of all, there is no question in this comment, but I'll answer your "question" anyway. All of your parts will work together. The main think to look for when building a computer is making sure that the motherboard and the cpu are made for each other. Because you have an intel i7 cpu and an i7 motherboard, the computer should work.

[codesterable]

would the xigmatec dark knight fit properly on this board without hitting the cooler fan below the cpu?

[akatachinga]

will the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 120mm CPU Cooler  fit on this motherboard.

[N2OSystem32]

i posted a video responce, will the EVGA X58 SLI MotherBoard be compatible with a AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Processor???

or does it only work with an intel Processor, please get back to me.

URL for my Video Responce

watch?v=nXjERVdFR4g

[srt4pwr]

it`s for intel I7 lga 1366 socket

[cjgan80]

wow dude , your actually asking a question like that?

Intel vs AMD of course their sockets doesn't go with each other

[steelekilla101]

just throwing my future rig idea.... but how does this sound using this board? 1. intel core i7 920 -with xigmatek dark knight cpu cooler 2. corsair dominator 1600 (3 x 2gb) triple channel ram 3.Evga x58 sli motherboard 4. XFX ATI 5870 video card in 2-way crossfire 5.1000w+ power supply (undecided) 6. western digital 150gb velociraptor hdd -and 640gb western digital caviar black hdd 7.Plextor dvd burner drive 8.Lite-on blue ray drive 9. Antec 1200 case with 6 case fans

[ShaneT87]

@steelekilla101 sounds good.. but do you really need 1000wats?

[anupkumarrao]

Please note, the sata ports and the controller mapping mentioned in the video is wrong. The red ones (3:19) are jMicron363, all blacks are Intel and remaning red one next to pci slots and the esata are jmb362. I raid'ed the jmicron and no issues. The drivers are not on evga site but in the FAQ, you can see that there is a link to the jmicron drivers.

[J05H101]

I really need to know this as I have bough i7 920 D0, Evga x58 SLI etc already. SHould arrive tomorrow. The only thing left is the SPU cooler, I need to whether the Titan Fenrir will fiton the EVGA X58 SLI board without hitting my Corsair Dominator DDR 6GB RAM. The case is the Antec 1200 so it should be fine. I want to point the Titan Fenrir upwards towards the top exhaust fan of the case, if not then will it face towards the rear?

[Dazzen8]

So guys which one is better asus p6t deluxe V2 or this one?

[garyprimefluffy]

Should I get the "tr" or "a1" version tr is cheaper by $40 a1 has limited lifetime warrenty?

[TheGreenSmoke]

can you still install a sound card on this board if you choose to have tri sli?

[1981z28camaro]

I was wondering about that too, I was thinking it would block the fan for the 3rd card, being their so close together, but I figured if it ends up being an issue, I could always get the "Antec Spot Cool" to direct air in between the two...

unless the cards face the other direction, I don't remember, as I'm not using MY computer right now.

[TurboHertz]

figure it out yourself

[zackcyboy]

IT doesn't matter what the bandwith is really with single cards on sli. 16x/8x doesn't make a difference.

[tklu84]

Can anyone tell me if im able to run crossfire x on this board?

[qwerty5764]

yes you can

[zackcyboy]

No.

[1981z28camaro]

not to sound rude, but he did say you can run Crossfire :-)

[zackcyboy]

Yes, sorry i was mistake. This board isnt' Crossfire certified, but all X58 chipset boards can run both SLI and Crossfire. My mistake.

[1981z28camaro]

no problem :-)

[freddieman23]

Yes, he said you can run CrossfireX. X58 does both.

[popothecatathome]

i have a thermaltake TRUE on this board fits

[HarleyAMV]

he needs a hair cut in this video...

looks way cooler today ^^

[tklu84]

When he was explaining about the sli slots, he explains that if you have 2 cards, they both will run x16. But if run 3 way only the first slot will run x16 and the other 2 will run x8. so does that mean if you run 2 way sli on gtx 285, you will get the same result as 3 way sli on this board?

[zackcyboy]

3-way SLI: x16/x8/x8

2-way SLI:x16/x16

Singe card:x16

If you run it in 2 way sli you will have x16 on 2 of the slots so you'll get 1.9x the performance of single cards. If you use 3-way SLI you'll have only half the bandwith on the third slot. I don't know what you mean by 3-way SLI being the same as 2-way.......

[tklu84]

1.9x performance of single card if you run 2 way sli? I was told by the evga's technical support agent that you will only get 30% of its capacity on the 2nd card if you run 2 way sli. How did you get the 1.9x performance?

[groudon8]

Does that mean that the performance would still be x16/x16 on two GTX 295 cards since running two is equal to four GPUs?

[zackcyboy]

Groudon this comment isn't meant to you but......

STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS. THIS BOARD WILL RUN ANY SLI/CROSSFIRE SETUP WITH NO, I REPEAT NO, BANDWIDTH ISSUES. DON'T WORRY ABOUT X16/X8 AND ALL THAT. THIS BOARD DOESN'T COEME WITH A CROSSFIRE BRIDGE AND YOU CAN'T USE A SOUND CARD WITH TRIPLE SLI.

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT? IF YOU DONT' KNOW THAT, YOU SHOUND'T BE BUYNIG THIS BOARD.

[groudon8]

Believe me when I say that this video's purpose is to share information about a product. Why must you criticize people for trying to gain information unmentioned in any articles they may have read or videos that they may have watched?!? I know you were talking to someone else, but I find it maddening, like I found it maddening when I read that Albert Einstein was kicked out of school for asking too many questions!

[zackcyboy]

Ya but some of these questions are ridiculous......can you run a i7 on this board? Doesn't this board support SLI? IT's just too much. The x16 questions are normal questions but questions are repeated 5-6 times when you could look at the description or google/wiki it. It's REALLY annoying how some of this questions are.

[RSSsailing]

for two way sli, which pci-e slots do i use?

do i use the top one and the middle one, or the top and bottom one?

[apache249]

@RSSsailing You use the top and bottom ones. That's why the 2 Way SLI bridge is spaced in the way that it is.

[friskykitty137]

whats firewire used for?

[zackcyboy]

It's almos exactly like USB.

[iTehTunePawd]

Think of Firewire as USB 3.0, it is basically just used for data transfer but at a much much higher rate/bandwidth then a USB 2.0.

[depthcharge82]

anyone have any issues with this board....i had/have one and i was very excited to get it but, when i set it up it would boot on then off then on again EVGA tech help said it was normal but what i have found was this it isn't suggestions of comments?

[praneet101]

will this fit in an antec 902 and will a noctua nh u12p se1366 fit as well?

[MikeO14220]

I just installed the x58 SLI into a Antec 902. It fit great. There was even room for the V8 CPU cooler.

[zackcyboy]

Ya i think the zalman cnps 9990 can fit here.

[neephius]

You lie.

[superbursihido]

nice motherbroad but not the best one

[apache249]

@superbursihido Of course, the classified is better.

[kylzer88]

Agreed its a pos

[neephius]

Yes some dick like EVGA cause they are made in America or are they from isian components so actually they can't be all bad. I withdraw my other comment.

[zakharaya]

this is awsome

[urmudasourcont]

dude i like so have this mobo man it rox

[urmudasourcont]

I got this...

[Sawnez]

What about the ram? it has a standard of 1600Mhz what do i have to do to put 1800Mhz in it coz thats what i wana do.

[antec12gtx260]

the board should automatically down clock the ram so u will have to go in to the bios and manually put it back up

which wont cause any problems

[youcandownloadthis]

Ay Anyone know where is a review for the EVGA X58 SLI Light Edition Motherboard?

Or can you guys tell me how good it is?

[FragileStaticCircus]

go to Newegg . c o m for reviews.

[steelekilla101]

great... it lacks 2 more fan connectors... crap

[richy123xd]

How can you put a PCI sound card there if you're running sli? I only see one PCI x1 slot.

[FragileStaticCircus]

Just run 2 video cards in SLI, then a sound card.

[FragileStaticCircus]

Run 2 video cards in SLI there should be enough room for a sound card.

[steelekilla101]

you can also plug it in the regular PCI slot. It will still work the same

[apache249]

@richy123xd You can't.

[qhoa1385]

what is the different between this and the x58 SLI LE?

the LE you can do 3x SLI and a physic but why is it cheaper?

[FragileStaticCircus]

"LE" Stands for "Light Edition" and it refers to some of the features on the regular X58 board are on the LE board but are disabled.

[depthcharge82]

warranty is also a factor the le has a two year and the sli has a limited lifetime.

[hiphopapotomas]

double goodness lol

[Tracey1002]

i can use a pci express 2.0 vc with this right?

[ApSykesThewolf]

Yes, tracey1002, you can use 2.0 with this.

[acidburn675]

yes :]

[JustinR19]

Of course.....

[FragileStaticCircus]

It has 3 PCI-Express 2.0 Ports, the arrangment is x16/x16/x8

[apache249]

@FragileStaticCircus No, it's x16/x8/x8

[USAF0314]

wont that northbridge fan blow heat right into the VCards?

[b3l13v3r]

no... "it blows it out the sides".

[Derangedteddy]

You should probably finish the video ;)

[RSSsailing]

does it matter which sata port i hook the hard drive and dvd drive into? there are many sata ports. which one do i use? i only have one hard drive and one dvd drive, both sata. same with the usb ports, which one do i use?

[mopheid]

so what is better??

a Asus Rampage II extreme or this mobo??

I've heard a lot of bad stories about the rampage

[EBA170]

thats a good question. this mobo is frigin amazing but the extreme has more features but for price performance prolly this one.

[ryanbycraft]

Albert says "This is a dinosaur, don't use it" But what was it.... it looked like a VGA, it's not though right???

Please reply, Ryan x

[MerryOtter]

It's an old-style DB-9 serial cable.

[TheDevilOnHoliday]

Davastus:

you can't install Windows on an external drive - it prevents it in the installer.

However - I have managed to get Linux to boot from an external drive - required major fiddling,

[MerryOtter]

You can install windows on an eSATA drive, and you can install it on USB drives if you are willing to do a little bit of hacking.

[Davastus]

can i boot from a esata port? and usb?  and firewire?

[archolon]

I own this board. Clocking my i7 920 to 4ghz was cake, and i keep it at 3.8 for 24/7 use. It hasn't let me down and i never lockup or have to restart.

[TolisxD]

Asus P6T Deluxe V2 or EVGA X58 SL

[scotsocool]

id say the evga just for the sake of doing tri sli if you like.

[alex14469]

what would be a good board for everyday use (internet, ms office, multimedia) and for playing a game like gta iv on medium settings? also, is dual core enough or do i need to go with quad core or even i7? im not into video editing... any recomendations for graphics card?

[mat967]

first, only i7 are suported on these board. graphic performance mainly depend on your graphic card. i recomend a 9800 gtx (or a 9600 gt) or a gtx 260.

[Gamerzlife]

if your doing some simple stuff, maybe a core 2 duo should be fine or a phenom II. As for graphics card on newegg their is a 9500GT for about 35 dollors w/rebate. It can run GTA IV fine and its great for video editing even if you dont do it. (BTW dont use Micrsoft office waste of money use open office.

[groudon8]

Which would be faster?

2x 9800GTX+ SLI($259.98+$20 Mail in Rebate)

GTX 260 Core 216 Factory Overclocked($155.00+$20 Mail in Rebate)

[ryanbycraft]

Duh...

[Gamerzlife]

probably the 9800gtx+ sli option is my guess ill pm you when i double check.

[groudon8]

Big update! 2 9800GTX+s are now only $140 after MIR.

[EBA170]

id go with the gtx 260 and sli that when u have a chence, thatll be way faster

[GustafRingius]

this is a dinosaur, please don't ever use it. xD

[ohnzee]

Rampage II extreme or eVGA X58?

[onoff314]

evga

[ohnzee]

I was thinking the same thing..

[CrusaderU2K]

stop spamming fool

[Hekynn]

ya man the ati card will work X58 is BOTH Ati and Nvidia :D

[sabakunogaara1988]

dont speak so fast it sucks hard maan

[drewcute2000]

6:48 - lol..

[roy360360]

kk so my ram is 1600mhz how to i change it? i got 6Gb

[k4ZE106]

bios options should allow you o change your ram speeds.

[m2uk550]

guys i am going to ask a stupid question what if i buy this EVGA X58 motherboard & install ATI video card.......

[pinoyboykev]

no problem with that... this board does both SLI and Crossfire Aka Nvidia or ATI. he said that in the review ;)

[FortunexenutroF]

Uhm...The card will work.

[doug781]

Yeah 3 way sli,i was tired ; )

[bander3n]

so if i have a 1600MHz ram do i need to change the Bios setting or just leave it on auto ?

[yfzi]

he just said it man it will support 1333 native you need to change the bios for 1600 ppl need to listen more....

[goodvibrato]

I've got this board and 1600MHz ram and it saw it as 1033. However my timings are 7-7-7-18 running at 1.5v. I haven't tried overclocking yet. I got the OCZ 12800 ram.

[JamboyStu]

lols @ the dinosaur

[DanMorgan98]

Id like to see Mac fags try to use this.

[doug781]

yes your right dude its me that was wrong i meant 3 cards if your gonna have 3 cards there wont be room for the 3rd card that´s waht i meant....and yea Quad no problem...thats pretty obvious hehe...

[doug781]

need too see this irl to be shure

[doug781]

Still looks like there wont be space...

[doug781]

how r u gona get room for your sound car if u run quad sli hmmm ?

[dabu001]

thanks, next time ill google it =)

[dabu001]

what is a "dinosaur"?

6:47

[goodvibrato]

He means it's old technology. I believe it was a VGA input for a monitor.

[r31ncarnat3d]

I thought it was a serial port. That would be even older and more of a dinosaur xD

Think USB's daddy. Gameport was its grandaddy.

[goodvibrato]

Yeah, I think you're right since it doesn't even have onboard video. Doh!

[r31ncarnat3d]

Don't beat yourself up over it. I've tried to stick a monitor VGA cord into a serial port before :P

[rservicex01]

Future and Past proof LoL

[cr9527]

Don't insult the Parallel port!

I hate you now Albert!!!!!!

[kittels18]

SICK board, i have it

[CrysisZER0]

We need a review on the Classified!!!!

[sugarpuddin88]

You 're referring to the EVGA

X58 SLI Classified?

[RaCinKHmeRBoi34]

" This is a dinosaur. Please don't ever use it." lol

[goodvibrato]

I just bought one from Newegg. Can't wait.

[mayers000]

Rest In Peace Alfred

[4BetaMale2]

I have "so" missed Albert's motherboards walkthroughs. Glad to see one!

[Shoulon]

It's a dinosaur lol...

[iRoCkhowarxD]

we need to talk about the classifield. not this

[LaGgY42o]

Classified isnt worth the extra $150, I have both and unless u are doing extreme overclocking (LN2, ect) or want Tri-SLI + Physx + Sound card then go with this one.

[yalolol]

That's what k|ngp|n would want. Lol

[iRoCkhowarxD]

yea i know the classifield is for hardcore gamer and we cant use 4x16x pcie, but this board is very old compared to the classifield, i mean just talk about it not must buy it lol my X58 UD5 is very guud already

[gaara0711]

ima get it and run 2 4890's :P

[iceblitz]

why not just get 1 4890 x2 when its out lol..

[Thekilldevilhill]

not even sure if i comes and when it comes as for as i know. plus why waste money wait a few months for dx11?

[iceblitz]

it was a reply to somone...

[SRSLover]

Whatever floats your boat rich man :p

[r31ncarnat3d]

Ehehehe, I think that was the most helpful review ever.

"This is a dinosaur, please don't ever use it"

Awesome :)

[bimmermann18]

I'll get this in the summer after I sell my 780i

[mike22490]

i want it...

[thefamilyk]

Could you do crossfireX on this?

[thefamilyk]

Sorry, I need to watch the whole video before I ask a question... My bad

[poopman25]

NO U DONT ... u just need to see the first 30 seconds :D

[guysullavin]

yes. you can do crossfireX on any Mobo that has more than 1 PCI-E x16 ports

[davidxu1019]

You can do crossfirex on any mobo that is crossfirex certified. i wouldnt run crossfirex on sli certified board...........

[thefamilyk]

Thanks. But you can't do crossfireX on nforce chipset motherboards right?

[3HaloPlayers]

i think on this you can do crossfirex and sli

[denyag]

not on nforce motherboards. but this is x58 it supports both

[angrysake]

how do you know if your supposed to use all those connectors and if you plugged them all in and there are no use for some of them will it mess up your motherboard?
