Last time I found a rare evga item (GTX285 classified), I was not aware of what it was.  A few people reached out to me asking if I would sell it for their collection.  Unfortunately, I had already sold it.

This time, I want to see what I have and make sure it goes to the right person.  This is what appears to be an EVGA X79 SLi board with gray connectors.  I bought an old gaming PC and was surprised to find this inside.  The processor on it now is a i7-4870k.
 
It would not boot at first, until I removed the rear 2 memory modules.  I'll have to swap modules and see if it they are the problem or possibly the sockets are damaged in some way.

I have not seen such a high build quality in person.  I like the power button, reset button, and cmos clear right on the board.  It is currently paired with a corsair 120mm AIO. 

Hopefully I can do some stress tests on it and make sure that it still works properly before the new owner takes over.

    Can you grab some pictures of the setup?

    I am on my phone at moment. I think I have to be on desktop to add pictures. I did list it on Jawa as well.
