Included Applications
- EVGA E-LEET Tuning Utility X
- Intel® Rapid Start Technology
EVGA includes a minimal amount of extraneous software on the driver disk, little more than their branded Windows performance and monitoring tool and driver applications.
E-LEET X
The EVGA E-LEET Tuning Utility X applet is a re-skinned version of the CPU-Z applet with EVGA branding and additional performance-related tabs. The applet gives user access to board information, CPU-related settings, and performance settings. EVGA even includes the ability to load and save settings profiles from with the Options tab of the applet. A Capture Screen button is available at the bottom of all tabs, automating taking a full sized capture across all active monitors and saving to a bitmap file in the applet's base directory (normally C:Program Files (x86)EVGAELeetX).

My favorite product of all
My favorite product of all time is a bit different. I love the EVBot I got to push my Classified cards to the max… or whatever classified products I happen to be holding.
Nice write-up. My only gripe
Nice write-up. My only gripe is with EVGA going with angled connectors at the edge of the boar. This is clearly meant to be setup as a benching system or a very top-end full size ATX or EATX case with plenty of room.
The lack of a cmos jumper
The lack of a cmos jumper shouldn’t be listed as a weakness, considering there is a cmos reset button on the motherboard backplane.
CMOS reset button just clears
CMOS reset button just clears current CMOS settings but retains profile information and any internally configured settings. The reset jumper physically shorts the CMOS to reset it to factory defaults, including profile information, time, and internally configured settings (like memory and cpu-dependent settings that are not user configurable). That is why it is listed as a weakness.
Unfortunately, it seems to be the norm with x99 boards rather than the exception. You can remove the CMOS battery for the same effect most of the time, but I have seen boards retain profile and time settings even after removing the CMOS battery for elongated periods (> 20-30m)…
Weakness indeed. I tried
Weakness indeed. I tried every possible way to reset Cmos but it just doesnt work.
