EVGA Readies Z77 FTW Motherboard

This photo made its way to the Internet and it might be the first sighting of the EVGA Z77 FTW platform, powered by the LGA 1155 socket and compatible with Ivy Bridge CPUs.

Folks around the net have started to see the photo, but they can't guarantee it is the Z77 FTW or some other platform.

At any rate, it boasts the LGA 1155 socket and Ivy bridge CPU compatibility, plus five PCI Express x16 slots.

Also, there are four DDR3 memory slots and four SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, plus four SATA 3.0 Gbps ports.

Furthermore, Gigabit Ethernet is present, along with some USB 3.0 ports, PCI Express disable switches, a debug LED, 7.1 channel audio, a Thunderbolt port (apparently) and 10-phase power.

Finally, Power, Reset and Clear CMOS buttons exist as well, which means that the motherboard is clearly suited for overclocking.

No prices or availability date have been revealed yet, of course.
