Sweet! Thanks for giving us a look at the new DARK. Looking forward to seeing you put it through it's paces! And Buildzoid's analysis. I sure wish the EPS connectors on my X79 DARK were in the same spot as the other DARK's. At least the 24 pin is still a recessed 90 degree connector though. I should be able to do an X299 DARK build sometime this winter. Probably put it in a Thermaltake Core WP200 case, since I can put the X79 DARK in there as well. Yeah, EVGA has has top tier customer service. Any time I have contacted them, they get back to me within a matter of hours, and always do their best to help me out, even with older products or ones I have bought used. A standard that other companies should strive to achieve.
The ISL99227B's are my favorite smart power stages still. 60A with a metal heat transferring tab. The only other mainstream motherboard to use these specific ISL99227B 60A SPS is the Z370 Aorus Gaming 7. Kind of funny that the only other mainstream board that uses these 60A $5.50 SPS has the most RGB out of any other board, and the polar opposite, which is the DARK, doesn't have any... Usually, eVGA boards have full x16 wired PCIe x16 slots all the way down the board. So, technically you should be able to run a GPU at x16 even on the second or third PCIe slot.
A very Educational, & very Informative video. I did not know. There was a *(New EVGA Dark Motherboard). You sir have a new subscriber. Dam.. Awesome video hands down..
KP is a newer revision and is a bit better on memory. The non KP was made in late spring and it was not wanted to go to the trash bin so they want to sell them as cheaper version.
No, I bought it from a another friend in the oc community from Germany. Galax sells these special kits from time to time on their website and in the oc lab facebook forum.
@@LuumiJuhani ah ok there was a guy on ebay with the same kit.. has ES sticker on.. claimed it was from computex.. but wanted payment outside ebay.. redflag. ill keep an eye out..im in the ln2 heaven discord.. maybe throw out a post next time you see it available.. id appreciate it
I'm sure the Dark will hold its own in the overclocking department and over all. I'm most curiously looking forward to seeing how this EleetX1 works. If it works without being buggy I'll add it to my collection and test it against my Apex XII
Hi luumi, I have a z390 Dark with 9900k, do u think it's worth buying the z490 dark with 10850k for me? Im only doing custom water cooling and gaming and I want to pair it with EVGA 3080, 1080P ultra wide and 1440p standard size.
do u know if its possible disable speedstep/speedshift on z490 and turbo still on ? on z390 u cant only the boards that can do it is msi unify and xii apex
Whats the difference between the normal dark and the kingpin Edition? Will the normal dark run 4600 c18 dual rank bdie just fine for daily with 1,5v? I want the dark kingpin but in germany there's only the normal dark z490
He used custom water cooling: "short glimpse of what is coming. Intel Core i9 10900K passing the very common Cinebench R15 test on the upcoming EVGA Z490 Dark at 5.5GHz across all of the 10 cores and 20 threads using just relatively strong custom water cooling."

Yahoo!!! Finally
Can't wait to see it put under LN2
This is the board I hope to put in my new build!
Finally! :)

Thank you :D
I wish they made an ITX version for Z590 or even 490! I really want someone to make beefy VRMs on a small board.
Would the noctua NH-D15S be compatible with this motherboard?
Aww, no more BIOS chip socket :( I'd wish you got some close-up macro shots of chips and bits on the board, it would be nice to see pretty details.
Yeah not bad idea, I think I would need better lens for my camera.
Super.👍
Just bought one on sale:)
I wonder how this board handles RAM ICs other then B Die
Do you have any specific IC in mind?
@@kovacspis Mainly DJR but also Rev. E and Rev. N
@@Cheese-n-Cake16 I know about rev. E, but haven't heard a lot about DJR and rev. N. May I ask for a quick insight on the two?
Still a better thumbnail than buildzoid's
What CPU Cooler you are using? Thx
so whats the difference between the kingpin edition?, 100 dollars more for his signature on the box?
KP is a newer revision and is a bit better on memory. The non KP was made in late spring and it was not wanted to go to the trash bin so they want to sell them as cheaper version.
Wait for this one to get in stock or apex?🤔🤔
Can buy now
@@LuumiJuhani not in EU sadly. Anyways as much as I like EVGA, I went with the Apex instead. Great mb I have to say
did you get that galax 4800kit from the ebay guy in australia?
No, I bought it from a another friend in the oc community from Germany. Galax sells these special kits from time to time on their website and in the oc lab facebook forum.

@@skoopsro7656 Haha I inquired about buying that kit you're talking about and the guy said the same to me!
@@dustinthomas2998 yea i didnt trust dude.
The question is: Will it beat Asus Apex xii?
I love you're videoes!
No ofc
Evga is trash
I'm sure the Dark will hold its own in the overclocking department and over all. I'm most curiously looking forward to seeing how this EleetX1 works. If it works without being buggy I'll add it to my collection and test it against my Apex XII
Will eleet X1 ever be available for Z390 dark users?
Have to ask, I don't see reason why it wouldnt work on every dark...
Is this motherboard PCIe gen 4 compatible?
No, need Z590 and Rocket Lake.
What RAM sticks are those?
Galax Hall of Fame OC LAB 4800MHz CL19, but my Kingston Hyperx 4133 CL19 are actually a bit better.
@@LuumiJuhani thanks!
What is the most ideal DAILY memory configuration for z390? 4500-4600 c17 CR2? What SA/IO voltages are usually required?
This 4600-4900 CL18 is really good. SA/IO voltages depend on your CPU, but expect about 1.35-1.4.
Do you know if this board supports the double capacity ram modules? 32gb per dimm?
I have not confirmed that, I can ask but I think it should do.
I haven't found out where to buy it yet
evga.com
Luumi Every time I go to see and it is out of stock
Yh, and it's not even in the EU store at EVGA 😭😭
would a 10850k work on this mb?
Yes
What's the RRP?

I want the dark kingpin but in germany there's only the normal dark z490
4800 C14 1t ?
Yes
@@LuumiJuhani that's damn good.
What's the difference between the z490 dark and z490 dark kingpin?
4800MHz vs 5000MHz DDR4
The winner of 3090 sli overclocking
5500 MHz R15? Wow...how?:D I can get over 5250 MHz on my chip :) (AIO cooler)

Wayyyyyyyy too late on the launch lol!
I dont like evga boards but their grafics cards are nice
