Introducing the EVGA nForce3 250Gb Mainboard
EVGA's first entry into mainboards begins with the 115-K8-NF31-AX, an nForce3 250Gb based mainboard. During the development of this mainboard, we applied the same principles of quality and reliability that we are known for with video cards.
First we made sure that the layout of the motherboard made sense. We looked at how easy or hard it was to install the mainboard into a case and kept changing the layout of the various components until we got it right. After that, we examined the components that we were going to use on the mainboard and determined that the capacitors would be doing a lion's share of the work. Because of that, we made sure that our capacitors were the best we could use - in fact they are substantially better than what almost anyone else uses:
| SPEC |
THE STANDARD |
EVGA |
Heat Tolerance
(Higher Is Better) |
85°C |
105°C |
| Material |
Electrolytic Based |
Polymer Based |
MTBF
(Longer Is Better) |
About 2 Years |
More Than 10 Years |

With all of this, the EVGA 115-K8-NF31-AX promises to be one of the most stable and reliable mainboards available for the 64-bit AMD Athlon64 and Sempron line of CPUs.

UPDATE (03/29/2005): Although the NVIDIA nForce 3 Chipset does support the Dual Channel memory feature, the AMD processors that this mainboard supports cannot take advantage of this. Therefore, for all purposes intended, this mainboard can only effectively be used in Single Channel mode, not Dual Channel, as was previously advertised.
