Hi,
 
I know that a launch data is not yet known for the Classified K and the Micro, but I was wondering if EVGA could give any information about the VRMs used in these designs. I know that it's been said that both the Classified K and the Micro were built for overclocking, so I'm very interested in this, especially for the Micro.
 
The Asus Z370-G and the MSI Z370M both have so-so VRM selections despite both (I think) being 8-phase, so I have big hopes for the Micro (and the Classified K). Is there any information that can be divulged regarding the quality of VRMs used in the Micro/Classified K, or does EVGA have any guidance on the maximum acceptable power consumption an overclocked 8700k will be able to push under these boards?
 
Thanks very much! Alternatively, I would absolutely loved an estimated launch window for the Micro  the FTW has already launched! Will we be seeing the last two boards coming shortly?

    Asus Z370-G is 10 phases VRM (I have one).
    Micro is 8 phases if I'm not wrong.
    FTW is 10 phases.
    Classy K is 11 phases (?).
     
    It's said that, for OC, resistors are more important then the VRM itself. Would like to see one of the tech staff to confirm this as well for the phases mentioned above.

    Good question, txDrumsticks! I've been thinking the same. And thanks to Pietro too for that info.
     
    I will buy one early next year, but not fixed on brand yet so all info is relevant. Hope to get EVGA, but I will get the one that reviews best with a focus on Resistors, and VRMs. I want a really tough long life board, don't need all the LEDs and what not. In the past I have had good results with GIGABYTE Ultra Durable boards, but that was a while ago. Need to check all for a serious build!

    Correction,
    Classy K is 13 phases, not 11.

    Case: Asus Z370-G Box / MB: Asus Z370-G / CPU: Intel I7 8700K / Mem.: 16GB (2x8) 3000Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 / GPU: GTX 1080TI FTW3 / A.I.O. W.C: EVGA CLC280 / PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W

    I only can say EVGA Z370 Micro VRM is perfectly enough to push i7-8700K to Silicon Limit.
