EVGA Z170 Classified K Motherboard Review @ Legit Reviews

EVGA makes some really good motherboards and none are better than the "Classified".  That is unless you are into LN2 overclocking then you will want the "Dark" or need something smaller then maybe a "Stinger" is in your future.

Either way EVGA has something for everyone including Legit Reviews.

With a change in Intel Chipsets we get new motherboards based on that chipset.  When the Intel Z170 chipset came out, EVGA provided us one of their three ATX Z170 based motherboards, the Z170 FTW.  We found that the motherboard provided the basic features that we were looking for in a basic Z170 motherboard; good overclocking features, USB 3.0, and M.2 NVMe support.  However, we found that it lacked some of the more advanced features that advanced enthusiasts were looking for; dual M.2 NVMe, and USB 3.1.  For these features, you need to look at EVGA’s more advanced Z170 ATX motherboard, the Z170 Classified K. Read on to see if it has what it needs to be your next motherboard!

I have already reviewed the EVGA Z170 Classified K and found it to be an exceptional overclocker and not bad in the performance department either.  I was curious to see how they tested overclocking and found this little gem.

Following our standard process, we were able to get the Intel i7-6700K to boot up at 5GHz, and successfully run the benchmarks.  Going beyond that, we would have various failures to boot or run the benchmarks.

Ok, so I know a few things about overclocking and while I can believe they got a Core i7 6700K to run at 5Ghz I'm not sure how successfully run the benchmarks they were.  I mean, there are no overclocking scores and no confirmation on what cooler was used.

Wow!
