"There's no doubt EVGA is up against it in this market segment. It may have a silent board with three very useful PCI slots, but it's an unattractive board. The lack of additional extras, aside from automatic graphics card overclocking from a variety of just two graphics cards doesn't fair well in an extremely competitive mainstream marketplace.

What EVGA does do right is the bundle in the box, if that's important to you: EVGA has certainly got it right that's for sure. The boards it produces have a great warranty (on the condition you register), price and super solid, overclocking friendly motherboard. But it's all at the cost of other essential differentiating features and core performance."
