EVGA Z490 DARK (131-CL-E499)

- 4 -

Before You Begin…

The EVGA Z490 DARK sets the standard for motherboards based on the

Intel

Z490 chipset. Much like the EVGA Z390 DARK, its predecessor, the

Z490 DARK is designed for ultra-enthusiasts looking to pull every last ounce of

performance from the new 10th Gen Intel

10-Core CPUs. The Z490 DARK

features an 18-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 Z490 DARK contains Realtek Audio with EVGA

NU Audio, one Intel

2.5 GbE NIC, one Intel

Gigabit NIC, mini-Display

Port, onboard power/reset/CMOS buttons, PCIe disable switches, triple BIOS

support, 8 smart fan headers, and many more premium features. If you’ve been
holding out for a serious motherboard to upgrade, the time is at hand.
Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z490 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.
