EVGA X570 DARK OC motherboard gets official - 17-phase digital power supply
The X570 DARK motherboard from EVGA is the company's first Ryzen-compatible motherboard. It is an OC product from the DARK series, the chipset is the AMD X570, with the form factor being E-ATX.
The power supply is a digital circuit with 17 phases that allows for more efficient ventilation to be achieved by turning the CPU socket 90 degrees. The stability of the heat sink under high load is further enhanced by placing two cooling fans on the huge fin-shaped heat sink. Additionally, it has capabilities such as "ProbeIt header," which allows you to measure various voltages with a tester, "POST indicator," which allows you to capture system information, and "ELEET X1," which allows you to fine-tune your system from Windows.
DDR4-4800 x 2 (maximum of 64GB) memory slot, SATA3.0 (6Gbps) x8, M.2 x 2 (PCI-Express4.0 compatible) storage, and a PCI-Express4.0 expansion slot (PCI-Express4.0 compatible) are the primary specifications. x16), PCI-Express4.0 (x4), and M.2 2230 x1 are the secondary specifications. The network is equipped with dual 2.5 gigabit LAN ports provided by Intel I225-V and wireless LAN + Bluetooth 5.2 capabilities provided by Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200. The Realtek 1220 audio chip, which supports 7.1ch, is included in the package.

not surprised of your comment about EVGA but it might surprise some
well known influencers : EVGA is awesome !
owners all over the internet in forums and comment : sh.t quality lots of failures
other than that it's an overclocking board and absolutely nothing else, it's one of the worst X570 aside from that
considering memory overclocking on AMD is idiotic as it makes the computer unusable for anything else than fake benchmark scores, real life performance gets way worse once you go above 3600Mhz and that CPU overclocking except on LN2 is non-existant, you are now sold an "as best as it can go" cpu with zero slack
either you have a lot of money to burn or you will regret buying this, it has no point, on an actually overclockable Intel CPU+memory sure..for AMD no
if you don't know what to buy get an asus crosshair VIII dark hero or one of the newer ones
not an Asus fan my last ones were MSI and Asrock but it's a very good X570 board with enough rear usbs, up to 8 sata drives, plenty of pcie bandwith (enough for a x16 4.0 gpu, x4 3.0 10gbe nic and a x1 pcie soundcard + 2 nvme M.2) 2.5Gbe nic etc..and it has an available vrm+cpu combo block from EK should you want one
with it my VRM is sitting at 36°C here and worst case it's at 43°C for a 29451/1609 cinebench R23 score
in combo with a 10gb intel nic it gave me this..when I say it has very good "bandwith" I mean it

That's all you. Plenty of other sites, forums and users say otherwise.
Im just happy to see another AMD Evga board.
Last one I had was a AM2+ 590 SLI
Was a solid board. Ran GTS 640mb SLI really Had a X2 5000+ BE in it @ 3.4, 4GB DDR2 800@ 1000

The board design looks great, but the built quality is another issue. all the EVGA that had were consing issues or were dead after 1 year. EVGA is only popular dude to their Marketing and board design.
