Page 1 of 6 eVGA X58 Micro 121-BL-E756-TR Review
Introduction As eVGA celebrates their tenth anniversary, the company's penetration in to the X58 market continues with their latest release, the X58 Micro. eVGA recently challenged themselves to create a Micro ATX form factor motherboard with all the features and performance of the X58 Classified series. There is a humorous video describing this challenge that can be viewed HERE. Producing a Micro ATX X58 Motherboard that is on par with the X58 Classified series is a tall order to say the least. Can it really be done? Will performance levels equal that of it's big brothers? These questions and many others will be answered during this review. Many thanks to the guys at eVGA for providing the X58 Micro for review!
Pricing At the time of this review the X58 Micro is priced anywhere from $199.00 to $209.00 USD. For our UK readers, when available, the price should be around £120 to £125. The euro prcie should come in around €135 to €140.
Packaging The art work on the box is eVGA's standard X58 look, consisting of a black theme with iron gray lettering. The Motherboard box arrived wrapped in cellophane which is a nice touch, as it gives the customer confidence that the product was received factory sealed. Below are some pictures of the motherboard still wrapped in cellophane, and a couple more with the cellophane removed. Throughout this review, clicking on the thumbnail pictures will open a new window displaying a high resoluton image.
So, lets open the box and see what treasures await! Upon opening the box you are immediately greeted with a bright blue label telling you NOT to return the product to the store if you encounter any problems. eVGA prefers you contact them directly for any service or support. The contact information is provided on the label. Again, a nice touch as the customer is immediately informed of what to do should an issue need addressed. Here is a rundown of all items packed in the retail package:
The following group of pictures show the box contents as they are revealed.
