EVGA Releases X299 DARK Motherboard
EVGA has outed a new mobo for their Intel Extreme lineup, the EVGA X299 Dark. The unit is based on an all dark design, but however, does come with active cooling in the chipset as well as two fans on the VRM area?
There is much to be said about a beautifully-engineered motherboard designed to handle the highest loads or the most extreme conditions, let alone the rigors and abuse constantly demanded by the best overclockers in the world and still look good doing it. Although the X299 Dark does not feature RGB LED support, it politely reminds you that you can't see pretty in the Dark. Keep your SSDs cool under even the longest gaming or benching sessions with the X299 Dark's I/O and expansion slot cover. This cover provides direct airflow over your M.2 devices and exhausts away from the rest of your components. Multi-Function POST Indicator - Fully configurable in BIOS, these LEDs can be configured to show temperatures, voltages or cycle both in real-time.

I feel there is a big design flow in that 24 pin cable when one tries to remove it.
