EVGA jumps into motherboards with both feet
While the EVGA 680i SLI Black Pearl sounds like it has something to do with Jack Sparrow, it’s only link to that series is that is has been designed with watercooling in mind. These boards are extremely rare, as EVGA inspects their A1 line and only takes the best to be promoted to the Black Pearl line. That promotion involves the addition of compression fitted waterblocks, specifically a VREG block, CPU block, SPP Block, and MCP Block. Make sure you don’t have anything in your mouth when you get to the price in [H]ard|OCP’s review.
