EVGA showed us its latest slice of cheesecake at its CES suite - the EVGA nForce 780i SLI cheesecake motherboard.

that picture makes it look like the PCIE slot is inaccessable. why are they going with an Acronym for the name?

Its a bad use of cheesecake.

I have always liked EVGA, ever since the days of the M-ATX SLi motheroard (hopefully they wil make anoher one), they seem to direct their products in the right direction, sorting out what is useful for buyers from what they don't need.

Can't wait to see this on the market.

changing memory when you have one of those new gt x2 cards should be fun

Its a forum thing, the mods i think got fed up with people using FT W far to often, so eachtime you put FT W it replaces it with cheesecake.

Onto the mobo, looks good, just hope it doesnt have as many issues as the 680i did (the one Tim couldn't get to work but i could

)

Is this cheesecake as in For The Win?

I can just imagine on tech forums like bit-tech: "Hey which mobo should I get?"

Some random nub: "eVGA 780i SLi cheesecake"

"lol thanks!"

Not the nicest looking board, but the extras are nice. However this is another board with the floppy connector 90 degrees instead of the IDE. Meh I'm all SATA now.

Looks like it's quite hefty and the fan looks unnecessary. They couldn't move the northbridge up a bit?

If you've ever been around the EVGA forums, people are like "oh no, I'll be waiting for the cheesecake" version of the motherboard! While all those northbridge options seem nice (assuming they can fix it), and stability is always good, I'm not sure it's going to be worth the premium unless it comes in at the current 780i price and the 780i current drops.
