EVGA Goes Red, Teases The First Ever Motherboard Made for AMD Ryzen Processors
EVGA Corporation, or simply EVGA as it is known in the community, is the maker of various PC components and peripherals. As many of you are aware, EVGA has historically been focused on making products based on silicon coming from NVIDIA and Intel. The company has used NVIDIA products exclusively for its GPU portfolio and used Intel chipsets for its motherboard solutions. In the past, EVGA made motherboards for AMD processors, however, these boards used NVIDIA's chipset so they weren't technically full AMD motherboards. Starting today, that is about to change as we got some very juicy teasers from EVGA. In the nine-second video teaser on YouTube titled "A new Darkness is coming...", EVGA showcased a simple animation showing the AMD Ryzen logo surrounding EVGA's.
And of course, that only means one thing. EVGA will officially be joining the ecosystem of AMD and offering motherboards for their Ryzen processors. While the company is "one of the top NVIDIA authorized partners" in GPUs, on the CPU front it is officially joining Team Red and marking an important milestone for everyone. It is still not clear what kind of motherboard we will be getting, however, we can expect to see EVGA's best engineering applied in the form of a possible X570 Dark motherboard.

Also i speculate it will have 90 degree angled 24pin and 2x8pin EPS connectors side-by-side. I love that design.
2 memory slots most likely and dual-bios, dual-debug LED's plus other goodies.
Honestly i did not think my eyes would see this day but i guess EVGA is starting to feel the heat with majority CPU's sold now being AMD.
Uh, are we forgetting all their AMD nForce boards? Maybe change the title to "First time in over a decade" or something...

Edit a day later:
Since I'm going to get ridiculous replies from people who didn't see the original title to this article:
The title was changed. Thank you for fixing the title.
Did you get the L-shaped adapter they offered for the GPU power connector? As it was a freebie they were giving away, but alas...
It wasn't much fun swapping out the thermal pads on my card either, but at least they sent those over, after a lot of back and forth, despite it being their fault.
Locally purchased and registered card.
Ex colleagues review of one of their recent boards. Sorry, he's a bit dull, being British and all.
"Hey bro - do you want to buy EVGA's FIRST AMD MOTHERBOARD EVER!?!?"
*runs to Asus*
Never gotten any freebies.
But then chipsets dont matter that much nowadays
EVGA getting on with AMD boards is pretty sweet news though. Unlike just about everyone else who releases a complete dud every now and then EVGA seems to be pretty consistently good and if not the best and I really appreciate their no-nonsense aesthetic.
