EVGA Z87 Classified Motherboard Review

We have come to expect more goodies from our high-end motherboards to help justify the additional cost.  EVGA includes a good amount of parts with the Z87 Classified to get you up and running.  These are shown below.

In terms of documentation you will get a rather thin users guide and fold out quick start poster.  Combined, these two will help you locate all of the key components on the motherboard and even help troubleshoot POST codes in the event you have problems booting.

For those of you interested in trying out GPU Link there is a multi stranded cable that will connect your video card to the motherboard.  You also get a set of voltage test leads that will work with any voltage meter.

An EVGA branded I/O shield is also included along with three SLI bridges for 2-way, 3-way and 4-way configurations.  A cool new item is an anodized aluminum I/O cover.  The cover is an optional decorative item used to cover the I/O connections and clean up your system builds.  It attaches to the motherboard using the existing motherboard screws and can be installed at any time.
