While you're there, we also recently had a look at a new MM case & Thermochill radiator. Here's the thread in the Cases & Case Modding section, if you fancy having a look.

The eVGA X58 Classified is jam packed with features, overclocking options, and a box full of accessories. While the price tag is pretty hefty, one is left with the feeling that it is money well spent. The only dark cloud was the defective unit received initially, but eVGA's customer support made the RMA process painless and quick, just what people that experience a problem expect.
Most enthusiasts that purchase this motherboard do so with the intent of overclocking it heavily, and the eVGA X58 Classified will not disappoint. Our overclocking adventures yielded great results with minimul effort. For those hard core overclockers out there, you will find plenty to keep you occupied for quite a while as you take this Motherboard to the extreme limits. In fact you will find both BIOS settings and motherboard jumpers that can be set for extreme cooling as well. Further evidence that the extreme overclocker was the target audience.
Pros
Cons
- Bundled Accessories
