Computex 2013: Day 2 - Visits with Roccat Corsair and EVGA

When it comes to US based motherboard and video card manufactures there is only one name, EVGA.  In keeping with traditions they are once again pushing enthusiast gaming and overclocking systems to the limit with the addition of three new Z87 motherboards and new X79 Dark later this month.

The new Z87 Classified will support 4-way SLI thanks to a PCI Express 3.0 PLX chip and once again features 90 degree connectors for power, USB 3.0 and localized fan headers.  The PWM on these motherboards is considerably smaller than what you would find on a high-end Gigabyte or MSI motherboard however the secret is knowing when a PWM design is usable or just showing off.  For EVGA small and efficient is the best and is what we see reflected in their board offerings.

EVGA has been known to release a few custom overclocking video cards in the past with one of the most famous being the GTX 680 Classified.  For 2013 EVGA is ready to launch a new GTX 770 Classified, based on the same design and, a new GTX 780 Classified.

Both of these cards should be available later this month making them one of the first to offer a custom PCB for the GTX 780.  Oh and the GTX 780 Classified comes with an EVBot connector!  

LN2 here I come.
