Before You Begin
…
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.
Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z390 DARK
features EVGA’s newest UEFI/BIOS GUI with a focus on overclocking and
functionality in a lean, straightforward package. You won’t need to be an expert
to configure your motherboard, but if you are, you’ll find features unavailable
anywhere else.
