EVGA 132 CK-NF79 bundle and warranty

















Items
  • Users manual (English only)
  • Quick install guide (English only)
  • Drivers and utilities CD containing drivers for motherboard devices and motherboard manual (PDF)).
  • 1 x 80-conductor round IDE cable and 1 x 34-conductor round FDD cable (single-ended), 6 x latching style SATA data cables, 3 x Molex-SATA power adapter cables (double-ended)
  • ATX I/O Shield
  • USB expansion bracket with 4 x USB 2.0 ports.
  • FireWire expansion bracket with 1x 6-pin FireWire port.
  • Serial (RS-232) expansion bracket with 1 x DB9 serial port.
  • 1x 3-way SLI PCB-style bridge.
  • 1x 2-way SLI PCB-style bridge.
  • Optional chipset cooling fan


A pretty good bundle from most points of view. You can install the optional chipset fan if overclocking the board, and we expect most to do so. What's the point in buying an nForce 790i SLI and not overclocking it, right?

Warranty

The board is backed by an industry-standard two-year warranty that begins on the date of purchase. Initial queries are handled by the supplier that the board was purchased from, although EVGA maintains a service centre in Europe, which can be contacted directly, should matters go awry.
