EVGA X570 DARK Motherboard Pictured, Fully Loaded

Here's the first picture of a production EVGA X570 DARK motherboard, the company's flagship Socket AM4 motherboard targeting overclocking features on the latest "Zen 3" processors. The board prioritizes CPU and memory overclocking headroom above all else. The orientation of the Socket AM4 is rotated 240°, such that the memory slots are located on top of the socket. There's only 1 DIMM per memory channel, which is the most optimal topology for memory overclocking. The angled power inputs, along with onboard buttons, switches, POST code display, and voltage measurement points, are conveniently located in the top-right corner of the PCB, with the power inputs being angled to reduce cable clutter.

The CPU socket is wired to two PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slots (x8/x8 with both populated), and an M.2 NVMe slot with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring. The X570 chipset (not specified whether it's an X570S), is cooled passively, by a large heatsink that extends into heatsink over the board's two M.2 slots. Connectivity likely includes two wired networking interfaces, a Wi-Fi 6E wireless interface, and EVGA's highest-grade onboard audio solution. The board's BIOS is optimized for record-breaking CPU and memory overclocking, using sub-zero cooling solutions. The company didn't reveal availability or pricing.

zlobbyAM4 at the dawn of AM5?
AM4 is the only way to go today.

It will be many years before AMD will be able to release anything meaningful on the AM5.
Of course, if the sanity in their management wins and they get rid of the silly idea of integrated graphics instead of making more cores for the lower product tiers.

I mean, I know there is still some lifr left in AM4 but I thought AM5's launch is rather immenent.

Ferrum MasterThat's some 18+ content...

W1z portably drooling on this one...

For those wondering, those Bipolar caps are used in audio circuit and only they add distortion, depending where they actually sit, so it may be a case where they do absolutely nothing... they are there only for the looks.
ah ... i was about to ...

well you know ...


in short,
DANG THAT'S ONE SEXY MOBO! (no i did not swap B and F letters ... )
and yeah i was about commenting on how those audio related caps act and look ... and DANG THEY LOOK SEXY!


the price is not going to be sexy ... tho ... like a expensive escort (no not the car ... )

Their hardware support for intel during x58 was nothing special and yet abysmal, they better step it up if they want to price their stuff higher than Asus

Most manufacturers have had bad products. ASUS had bad thermals on some of their AMD cards. Same with MSI.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, unless something has changed AM5 is slated for the later half of 2022. It's certainly not imminent anyway.

dont whant to set it"'
Splendid , superb , so now this design has me raise a question related to potential performance differences if any with the placement of CPU atx4+4pin/eps connectors ,both all on the "opposite" side of the vrm on the motherboard.

Hi,
evga x299 dark was released so late and expensive as hell 600.us I believe
Not too long later they were dumping them on their ebay store for a fraction, 150.us I believe then on the main evga site to.
So yeah evga late to the mother board party is normal.

Always bothered me that the text on the cpu lid is sideways on amd cpus. With this board it would read correctly if i'm not mistaken

It's cool but I guess It's for deep pocket enthusiasts. I'm so happy with my Tomahawk

I remember them revising a board and leaving fans high n dry. So EVGA as a recommendation? The Eff no.

Are the CPU lanes to USB excluded? that might be a deal breaker for me

T1beriuThere's no such thing as an X570S chipset.
Are you sure about it?!
