Before You Begin…

EVGA welcomes you to the next generation of Intel Enthusiast performance:

the 299 MICRO! The 299 platform supports the newest Skylake- and

Kaby Lake- processors. EVGA 299 motherboards further refine high-

performance with multiple options for all the latest SSD options with support

for U.2, M.2 and PCI-E drives and is Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready – a

revolutionary higher-density memory interface, based on 3D Point

Technology, delivers a new generation of SSDs designed to obliterate loading

times for gamers. However, the 299 platform also supports all the features

you’ve come to expect from EVGA, including up to 64GBs of Quad-Channel

DDR4 memory at maximum memory speeds of up to 3600MHz+for Skylake-

, and 4133MHz+ for Kaby Lake- (OC), Gigabit-NIC support, USB 3.0 and

USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C support, an updated UEFI\BIOS GUI, PWM fan

control and a variety of SATA options to fit everyone’s needs. The 299

MICRO is built with a 8-layer PCB, featuring a CPU socket with 150% higher

Gold content powered by an Advanced 12-phase Digital VRM (10 Phase

VCore, 2 Phase Memory PWM), providing industry-leading stability for all your

applications.

Furthermore, this board is designed not ONLY for overclockers, but also for

gamers with NVIDIA® 2-Way SLI + Phys Support without the need for PL

chips, blazing-fast networking featuring an Intel i219, M.2 Key-M, U.2, 6 SATA

3/6g and much more!

Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA 299

MICRO features an updated UEFI\BIOS GUI with a focus on overclocking

and functionality in a lean, straight-forward package. You won’t need to be an

expert to configure your motherboard, but if you are, you’ll find features

unavailable anywhere else.

Combining the best of current technology with the latest innovations, EVGA is

further refining motherboard performance!

Intentions of the Kit

When replacing a different model motherboard in a PC case, you may need to

reinstall your operating system, even though the current HDD/SSD may

already have one installed. Keep in mind, however, you may sometimes also

need to reinstall your OS after a RMA even if your motherboard remains the

same due to issues that occurred prior to replacing the motherboard.
