EVGA Corporation
EVGA Corporation is an American computer computer hardware company that produces Nvidia-GPU-based video cards as well as motherboards. Since 2010, the company sold other computer components, including gaming laptops, power supplies, All-In-One Liquid Coolers, computer cases and gaming mice. Founded in July 1999, its headquarters are in Brea, California.

Products 
EVGA products include motherboards, graphic cards (including factory-overclocked models), power supply units and related accessories. Initially motherboards were limited to NVIDIA reference designs, but expanded to non-reference designs based on NVIDIA chipsets, and are based on Intel chipsets following the exit of NVIDIA from the motherboard market. The first EVGA motherboard based on an Intel chipset was the X58 SLI, supporting 3-way SLI, and was announced in November 2008. Factory-overclocked graphics cards included the SC, SSC and FTW editions (as well as special KO editions in the past). Other products, such as specialized VGA coolers and VGA water blocks, are also available from EVGA.

In March 2009, EVGA released the X58 Classified (E759), an EVGA specialized board with a NVIDIA NF200 chip (the E760 Classified does not have the NF200 chip). It is an Intel X58-chipset based motherboard with many overclocking-friendly features.

In September 2009, EVGA released a motherboard (XL-ATX form factor) which allows up to four GPUs to run in a 4-way SLI configuration. The first graphics processing unit to support 4-way SLI was the EVGA GTX 285 Classified; more recent GPUs like the GTX 980 also support 4-way SLI. The company released a dual-socket motherboard based on the Intel 5520 chipset with overclocking features. Named Classified SR-2, this motherboard supports dual Socket LGA 1366 Xeon-based Intel CPUs and 4-way SLI. It was the first HPTX form factor motherboard.

In August 2010, EVGA released the Classified SR-2 power supply with 1200 watts of power at 6 +12 volts.

In May 2011, EVGA entered the CPU air cooler market with the introduction of the Superclock CPU cooler.

In November 2013, EVGA released its first tablet computer, the EVGA Tegra Note 7, in the United States. It is a 7-inch Android tablet powered by a Tegra 4 processor.

In May 2016, EVGA released its first gaming laptop called the EVGA SC17.

In June 2021, EVGA announced its first AMD based motherboards starting with the X570 Dark (A579). Later that year, EVGA would also release the X570 FTW (A577).

Customer support 
As of January 1, 2009, EVGA agreed to honor warranties in the Asia Pacific region. 

Products purchased since July 1, 2011 are automatically covered by EVGA's 'Global Warranty Policy', which stipulates a minimum warranty period of 3 years for all products regardless of region or method of purchase. The warranty coverage is transferable between owners and product registration is optional. Warranty starts when item is sold from an official re-seller to anybody else. If somebody buys from an unofficial re-seller, warranty will be less than 3 years. Product can even come with zero warranty.

On August 24, 2018 EVGA altered its warranty requirements for products purchased after May 25, 2018.
A proof of purchase must be included for warranty purposes, even if within the manufacture warranty validity period.
An additional request from EVGA for secondhand owners is to prove that the products was bought from the original owner.
It is still unknown how this change will affect the financials of the company, in a competitive hardware arena with other major companies present, such as Asus, Gigabyte, Palit and others.

EVGA offers a program whereby users of select graphics cards purchased from certain vendors may upgrade their GPUs to more advanced models at a discount equivalent to the cost of the original card.
