EVGA Z390 DARK, 131-CS-E399-RX, LGA 1151, Intel Z390, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, M.2, U.2, EATX, Intel Motherboard

The EVGA Z390 DARK sets the standard for motherboards based on the Intel Z390 chipset. Much like the EVGA X299 DARK, its older brother, the Z390 DARK is designed for ultra-enthusiasts looking to pull every last ounce of performance from the new 9th Gen Intel 8-Core CPUs. The Z390 DARK features a 17 Phase VRM design, along with two right-angle 8pin High Current connectors to provide maximum power for overclocking. Two SMT DIMMs enable high-frequency and low latency RAM overclocking. The 10-layer PCB is studded with multiple sensors to track a variety of temperatures and voltages across the board, which can be displayed on the dual-LED displays.
For its other features, the Z390 DARK contains Creative Audio with EVGA NU Audio, two Intel Gigabit NICs, mini-Display Port, onboard power/reset/CMOS buttons, PCIe disable switches, triple BIOS support, 8 smart fan headers, and more swagger than any motherboard should have a right to wield. If you've been holding out for a serious motherboard to upgrade, the time has is at hand.
