I think they just want to be damn sure Classy work fine before they start shipping to customers and in main time they work on BIOS or something. I am pretty sure that we will got something on www.evga.com website before end of this week.

Well here is an image of the long awaited EVGA P67 FTW, looks like right angled 24 pin (as promised), red and black color scheme, 2 SATA 6Gbit/s, 4 SATA 3GBit/s, sweet looking passive coolers, Note that it is lacking the compact flash that was promised in the Classified (Jacob said the FTW = Classified except in name). While we still don't have a ship date, Jacob ignored my "tweet" about it...I can say that he said before/on (as of 2 weeks ago) the 20th of April. As for the P67 SLI we have little information on it other than what EVGA has provided here, I think we should look for some sort of announcement about the FTW/SLI in the next few days (by which I mean in the next 7 days) and release soon after. Anyway other than a few little changes it looks a lot like the Classified we were shown several months back.
Shipping version will have compact flash connector.

I need to upgrade bad but I feel like the longer this takes, the closer we get to socket R. And that makes me want to wait it out.

My biggest fear here is I will get this board and there will be no updates to the Bios, really no support other than RMA and Jacob stepping in when your RMA replacement board is sent with wrong bios and no one believes you until you send a photo of the Bios screen. and the 790 comes out with DDr3 weeks later. I really wanted that Classy. In my mind I tell myself grow up and take it like a man and wait for the FTW because I am not getting an ASUS board again (After what was posted after tyhis post I may have to eat my words and go with a MaximusIV)! My CPU will be here Thursday I have the MEM I Need the board and Chipset waterblocks so I still will have to wait a while. I just want to see how fast my Vertex Shreders are!

My last 2 mobos and my last 2 video cards were all EVGA. I consider myself a very loyal customer but I can't honestly think of a reason to wait anymore. They haven't even released the specs for the FTW so we don't even know what we're waiting for!

I can't figure out what the big secret is on the two boards. At least they went back to the drawing board and did a overhaul. Don't think they will blow other products out of the water, hope they do. Will be getting mine free so I can't complain as much, even though I am tired of waiting with no info.

KP is Kingpin, he has a thread on his site http://www.kingpincooling.com He seems to have a fairly good inside track of whats going on. Based on the new timeframes, it looks like my Dad's build this weekend will be Sabertooth or UD4 and my P67 will wait until the EVGA mobo is released. Since mine is under no time pressure I will not build that one until the EVGA mobo is out. Since that computer is my daughters gaming and my 24/7 folding rig anyway.

Okay...this is what I found with my amateurish digging: - ARCTIC_EAGLE @EVGA_JacobF k|ngp|n claims that the EVGA p67 line up won't be out till May, is that true? about 8 hours ago via web - EVGA_JacobF @ARCTIC_EAGLE Yes, it is looking more like this will be the case. about 2 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to ARCTIC_EAGLE

Deep Purple,
Why wait for an EVGA P67? I see no reason to do that. We don't have the specs, we don't know when it's coming, and EVGA clearly huge issues in their mobo department. I can't think of a single reason to wait and I'm a big EVGA fan. My last 2 video cards and my last 2 mobos were all EVGA.

Yup I saw that too...I'm sooo very dissapointed with evga and I really don't want to wait till may. I may send back the stuff I already bought and wait the last 5 or 6 months for x79 and go that route, cause this just the most unacceptable behavior from a hardware company! It would be nice if anyone from evga could at least come on and say what's going on, why certain things are happening or not and give us some kind of shoot for launch dates. Instead we have to hope we mite catch something from a Twitter account and of course its not official so it could happen or not happen...its starting to feel like I'm dealing with bugs bunnys/road runner ACME company!!!!

Well, to start off the first thing I need to say is that I am becoming irritated with EVGA's lies. While they may not be direct lies they go something like "The current ETA is April 20th", "sometime in February", "early March", "Sometime in April", it has become very irritating. I understand that there are many things that go into a system board but lets assume they started January 1st of 2011...everyday (7 days per week) they did 1 square inch and an EATX board is 12*10.6 so 127.2 square inches. lol I know this weird but just keep on following, 127 square inches = 127 days so May 7th is the release day  Anyway the only other motherboard I want is the Asus IV whatever...the cost and lack of availability makes it impossible. So I have to wait for the EVGA boards but with a release of May 7th (?) what's the point of getting an EVGA P67 board when the Z68 will release around May 10th.

Its also cost, I am unwilling to spend $350 in a motherboard. Just an FYI I have changed the title of the thread to "EVGA P67 FTW/Classified Discussion" to better reflect what we are discussing.

ARTIC_EAGLE, I have been trying to follow the new stuff but this Z68 will it be dual channel? Are you talking about the chipset or a CPU? I just purchased my Memory and new 2600k CPU and I really don't feel like sending them back since I got a great deal on them. But if waiting this long like you said maybe we should just get the next great thing coming out, that just may be the way to go. I really want a Classified Board!!! I am going to school at the age of 49 @ITT-Tech hoping to lean a bit more about our hobby. I have a great ideal for a rig and involes a old school gas pump. I could go on but I don't want to give it all away. I have learned alot here at EVGA and I am not ready to give up on them. Yes they are having issues, I really think we all can thank NVIDIA for that since they stopped making Chipsets. You do not see BFG anymore do you?

The voices keep saying buy something to put that GTX590 Hydro Copper and OCZ Vertex 3 in and crank it up, but then reason kicks in and says wait...be patient x79 is just 8-10 months away   The only benefit to waiting is then I have a motherboard with PCIE 3.0 with what 32 Express Lanes, Quad memory channels, along with that massive 2011 pin CPU. Hopefully I can keep it together till then.....

Im not suprise when z68 releases before Evga p67, and folks with x58, don't get excited to upgrade to x79 any time soon if you choose Evga. If Intel release in Q4, then u gotta wait Q1 of 2012 for Evga board, lol wat a joke.

Z68 basically equals P67 except with a few "new" features. DDR3 and a 2600K CPU will work fine with the Z68 system boards. Link to more information here. Currently the ETA for Z68 is May 10th, and we should see a full complement of boards by the end of May or early June as long as everything goes well. As for nVidia's chipsets, well the NF200 is used on some high end P67 boards. The issues at EVGA are not related to nVidia in my opinion, its simply down to EVGA not being able to get their products to market (possibly due to some of their motherboard team leaving). At this point I don't see much point in buying P67 with the release of the Z68 just ~27 days away. EVGA has failed to release the P67 line up to make it relevant in the market, their only hope is to release Z68 boards on the official release date, failing that EVGA would stand to miss large numbers of sales. I'm guessing the Z68 motherboards will be almost the same as P67 ones except with a few different chips, so it shouldn't be to hard to get Z boards out quickly.

Deep Purple,
Why wait for an EVGA P67? I see no reason to do that. We don't have the specs, we don't know when it's coming, and EVGA clearly huge issues in their mobo department. I can't think of a single reason to wait and I'm a big EVGA fan. My last 2 video cards and my last 2 mobos were all EVGA.
My reasoning for waiting is simple. The changes on the Z68 chipset don't really effect me. The SSD cache is not an issue and the quick sync is not going to help me in what that computer does. Therefore, there is no reason for me to wait or move to the z68. The computer it is replacing is a P55 with a 875K, therefore, I can wait as I'd rather have an EVGA mobo. It's just a personal preference. The computer I'm building for my Dad this weekend however, is different. I'm flying out to his place to build it, so I need to use a mobo that I can install on Saturday. That means I need to go ASUS or Gigabyte.

I found some more information about Z68 during school. First I appears the release date will be the second Monday in May (the 9th). Pricing will be almost the same as P67, this may indicate that Intel will be phasing out the P67 boards. "Intel Smart Response" which is the SSD caching seems promising, although its mostly targeted at SSDs around 40GB its still a pretty cool feature. In addition Z68 will have "Quick Sync" which uses the on board (on CPU) GPU to accelerate video transcoding. Z68 will take the on-die GPU function of H67 and merge it with the CPU overclocking of P67...We are left with one important question: Will EVGA get their Z68 boards out in the month of May? I don't see the point in P67 boards when they are targeted to release in May, its pointless especially if Intel really is phasing out P67. If EVGA doesn't get Z68 boards out quickly, within 3 weeks of Z68 official release, then I think we can count them out of the motherboard sector. We already know they lost huge amounts of money by missing the P67 release entirely (both of them ) and if they miss the Z68 release then they stand to lose millions in total.

I really feel sorry for EVGA.
I have put off my build for to long and I will now just wait it out and buy a Z68 for one reason and that's the resell value.
It will be easier to sell than a P67.
I do love EVGA products but there is so obviously some sort of internal problem at EVGA.
They need to scrap P67 and go straight to Z68. If they announced a Z68 classified to be released 2nd May then I would wait but alas I fear my doubts would come true.
Good luck EVGA, I hope this is a stormy weather you can push through. It would be a real shame to see EVGA give up the MB market.

I love my X58 Classified and I would have certainly bought the P67 if it had come out with the others, however with the time frame they have given, there is no since of even releasing it. As such i just picked up the Asus p8p67 Deluxe.
