Awards of the EVGA Z68 FTW w/ EVGauge and ECP V4 (160-SB-E689-K2)

The EVGA Z68 FTW (160-SB-E689) is an overall great performing motherboard. The added features like the compact flash slot simply add to the package! If you are looking for an Intel Z68 Express chipset motherboard the EVGA Z68 FTW should definitely be on your short list at or near the top of it
Overclocking itself was a breeze, you can manually select how to overclock, preferably you simply increase the Turbo multipliers and find a corresponding stable CPU voltage with it. Our limit on this processor is varying from 4800 to 5000 MHz differing per motherboard. With this eVGA motherboard we had a stable 4.9 GHz and as you have seen we included the results in our benchmark suite. Superb cooling and better yield CPUs will no doubt go higher easily on this motherboard.
