Like in the past, when a new chipset was launched, EVGA prepared three new models. This time they've come up with the Z370 Classified K, the Z370 FTW K and the Z370 Micro. EVGA's Z370 FTW motherboard was announced during the Intel Coffee Lake launch, but they weren't available for purchase until now.



Compared to the previous generation, all the upcoming Z370 motherboard sport a black PCB with silver and black heat sinks. Furthermore they come with an armada of features like WiFi and BT modules, up to three M.2 slots and on-board buttons. The Z370 FTW isn't the flagship model however sports a lot of interesting features. On this board there are three PCIe Gen 3.0 slots with steel reinforcements and three PCI x1 slots.

On the storage side we see three M.2 slots and six SATA ports. Furthermore we also see all the bells and whistles you'd ask for in the event of overclocking. Compared to the Classified K, on the Z370 FTW we find less I/O ports, a "standard" Realtek ALC1220 audio chip and one Intel i219V Gigabit Ethernet port. At a first glance this is certainly a good looking motherboard.

The EVGA Z370 FTW Motherboard is available now for $199 USD directly from their website. At the moment is the only Z370 motherboard they currently have for sale. Their top end Z370 Classified and the micro-ATX Z370 Micro aren't yet available. However this isn't really a problem considering Intel's lack of Coffee Lake CPU stock anywhere.
