EVGA X99 Motherboard Prototype Shown Off At Computex 2022

While motherboard makers piece of work on their new X99 chipset based motherboards, EVGA'southward Jacob Freeman has shown off their upcoming X99 motherboard prototype at the Computex 2022 booth which looks abominable. The Haswell-East platform which launches in September 2022 will feature the high-operation Core i7-5960X CPU featuring 8 Cores, xvi threads and a $999 US price tag. EVGA X99 Motherboard

There's no name provided for the EVGA'south X99 motherboard but Jacob has mentioned that the board is an early prototype and that is obvious by the color scheme and odd DIMM colors equally mentioned. Looking at the features the motherboard offers, we can say that this one falls towards the X79 FTW in terms of design scheme rather the more high-end classified variant.

From a technical perspective, the EVGA X99 motherboard features the LGA 2022-iii socket which is massive in size and supports Intel's upcoming Haswell-E processors which include the Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K. The motherboard is powered by an 8-Pivot CPU power connector which provides juice to the socket while the 24-Pin ATX connector powers the rest of the board. The VRMs are cooled by a massive heatsink and same for the X99 PCH even so these aren't final designs and nosotros tin look at better colors and designs on the terminal variant.

The EVGA X99 motherboard prototype has a black colored PCB and retains the red and black color scheme which EVGA has become fond of in the recent years. Eight DDR4 DIMM slots are located on the board, four on each side of the socket which tin support Quad Aqueduct DDR4 retentiveness with speeds of 2133 MHz like the i we saw yesterday from retentivity makers Crucial and Corsair which are impressive from their blueprint scheme. The memory slots are powered by a iii Phase VRM located on their sides, the left mitt corner has a few power switches for OC back up, a V-Check Point and a Diagnostic LED. You can discover that EVGA retains the right angled design scheme to allow easier cable direction.

Expansion slots include five PCI-e 3.0 x16 and a unmarried PCI-east 3.0 x4 slot, these are powered by the 40 PCI-e lanes from the processor itself, a 6-Pin PEG connector adds additional power to the expansion slots in instance users want to use multiple graphics cards. At that place'south no cheesy sound scheme on the motherboard but we can promise that this existence a paradigm didn't include one yet. Correct next to the PCH heatsink and a variety of ports, the 10 SATA 6 GB/s ports along with a few fan headers and USB iii.0 headers. A USB 3.0 right-angled header is also situated on the lesser of the board. The I/O scheme includes a vairety of USB ii.0/3.0 ports, Dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN and an audio jack. EVGA didn't reveal the launch date or pricing on the lath simply nosotros tin expect it to be similar to a performance oriented X79 motherboard effectually the $299 - $399 US range.
