With the layout, space for 4 dimms is not possible, as all the power ports are on the right side.
This is a track car, man...meant for racing. That said, it will support 64GB which is fine for 95% of users. Short traces is how they get those memory speeds.
I suppose it could be marketed as a "limited edition board for limited edition cpu's" or some silly shit like that ...:laugh:..:eek:..:laugh:
Depends if EVGA did place the nessesary redrivers on board or not.
EVGA is always late to the party
Have to check but asus apex has better m.2 design using the dimm_2 slot card it uses pch instead of limited pci-e/ cpu lanes
Of course apex also is 400.us and not 550.us
Yep third one only uses pci-e
Who cares about loosing some sata now days plenty left over even running two m.2's on dimm_2 card :-)
I think the only Z490 M.2 that are CPU based are boards set to support PCIe 4.0. Since the PCH is 3.0, it needs the CPU PCIe 4.0 capabilities.
That I've read only asus z490 board that might be pci-e 4 compatible is xii extreme and that is a big maybe.

Yep 599.us I don't see it when apex is 400.us but to each their own :-)
Guess we'll see the evga z490... dump sell off like they just did on x299 dark for 150.us a week ago lol :peace:
Yeah evga did a couple dump sellathons on their eBay store front too in the past but i believe it was around 250.us range.
SR-3 now at EVGA site drop $1000.
