I just wish they would create a full product stack using that BIOS. Just think about it, a $250 motherboard with that kind of user interface would be an instant success even if it's not the best for over-clocks.
would buy it in a heartbeat
most OCs are limited by cooling solutions... any half-decent board with good VRMs should let you push your CPU to 99% of what you can achieve using ambient cooling, including water. We're not talking about HEDT systems here.
I agree. If they came out with a full product stack, and even charged a little bit of a premium for that BIOS, people would throw money at them, me included.
Id even be fine seeing that effort on 300-350 range
I have a crosshair hero VII( non-wifi)
And its Bios is ass
@@thorsong1 if the 8 the X570 one thats what i have 2 ( i can never remember how many i's after the V) i got it for all the USB ports( back IO is stacked XD). Most those ports are in use to
Keyboard,keypad,mouse,controller(Xbox style), arcade stick, and 2x usb hubs( from my monitors). Those port are normally used for External HHD or SSD i use to mod games for friends. Note im not making cheats im just handling the mod setup for skyrim and such. Im the groups IT guy. Aim stuck handleing everthing from window reinstalls.
This layout makes more sense in terms of airflow.
Almost every case has air intake on the front and it blows across the MB, but normally your ram blocks it near the CPU. I'm glad we get to see a new layout.
I just made my case more like a chimney, than a horizontal flow through. Those unused expansion slots under my 3080 now have an intake fan instead (double sided tape, mounted outside on back). Air coming in front and rear low, meets in middle, up the board and out the top. Heat wants to rise, help it do that instead of going sideways.
I've got 8 Sickleflow fans packed in a Neo Air. My "hot spot" right now is 52c and fans set on "silent".
@@yourhandlehere1 That’s pretty toasty. Is that temp the max you see during stress testing?
@@kylesmith904852 is not "toasty" for a 3080. it'll hit 66...That's the "hot spot" not the GPU temp. GPU temp runs about 10 below that.
@@yourhandlehere1 Oh my bad! I read your first reply terribly wrong. My mind was on CPUs because of the original comment (Dillon’s) and completely skimmed over “3080”.
tatorcam.
EVGA really seems like one of the few companies in the PC hobby who acutally care for their customers. They almost always release amazing products. Their FTW 3 Ultra cards are so good
Totally agree
It should say "EVGA went BACK to AMD?" My 1st motherboard from EVGA was an AMD Socket 939 board.
Most likely on an nVidia chipset! :D Even harder to imagine now.
Noobs bro. Dont mind them.
exactly
@@ryersonfitzpatrick7955 Oh boy I still remember the days of nVidia nForce chipsets.
not my 1st motherboard, but I had an EVGA AMD socket back in 2005
the ram on the top actually looks freaking awesome and then you got all the cables at the same place to the right making a build look more clean with this mobo
@I love you but it has 2 slots.. how could you get 8 sticks in that board? Can't see the relevance of the comment.
@@christophermullins7163 I guess it has to do if you implemeted that as a standard w/ more memory slots
RAM on the top might work well in a test bench, but if you're trying to top mount a radiator it's just going to get in the way in many cases.
@I love you but this isn't an HEDT motherboard or socket. I've never seen an AM4 motherboard with more than 4 slots.
@I love you but absolutely not. AM4 (for Ryzen) is the mainstream socket. It only supports dual channel RAM. sTRX4 (for Threadripper) is the HEDT socket.
I could never afford that board, nor would I ever get my money's worth out of it..... But it is fun to watch these videos and dream a little :)
Same 🙁
Yep!
It's like my phone. I've been getting the same line of phone for ages and in the last 5 years or so the prices have gotten out of hand. As an example, my last phone was $300 less. The new model of my current phone is $600 more? If only your employer increased your pay at the same rate.
You said it.
This comment exemplifies my life lol
As someone who is a huge fan of repairable devices, I really love the extra labeled board, that's a neat inclusion.
I loved that as well, it makes breadboxing super easy and safe AND it's a great reference. I would have it framed.
That bios looks awesome. Wish they'd make some standard "consumer" tier boards with it
*cries in laggy Gigabyte bios*
I'd love to see a "standard" motherboard VS this bad boy.
Slap a 5950X on it, but keep using consumer grade cooling gear like an AIO.
See how far you can push the CPU and RAM on both boards. I'm actually wondering how much better the EVGA would perform
Yeah, I love the design/layout of the RAM and stuff. So many times in a case, the RAM placement blocks the aio pipe or Cpu fan and you have to buy specific ram to account for it.
Yet that layout would make things so much easier. A lower tier evga board with that layout would be great
Gamers Nexus probably gon' do that.
Great video idea. Let's upvote this and make it happen!
@@TheArsenalgunner28 With the ram slots in that position you can forget about adding an AIO to the top of the case, pretty stupid IMO.
I've also been wondering the same thing, do these make a difference for everyday oc and not extreme ones, like on my asus x570 Pro I can only get a 4.7 all core on my 5950x stable 4.8 requires to much vcore and increases to much temp, could I get more with this board, it's tempting to find out lol
Every time the camera left Jay then returned to him he would find another peel on the MOBO lol
I am glad he took off that last peel, I was seeing it that entire time
@@khaledm.1476 oh god yes lol
Thumbnail: "EVGA Went AMD!"
My Dyslexia: "VEGA Went MAD!"
That in-bios robot oc (this implementation, not the stupid buttons or switches) and stress test should be way more common
I just can't wait for the EVGA X570 FTW motherboard. It's cheaper, has more features for the everyday user, all while still keeping the amazing EVGA quality.
Are they going to make one?
@@bothellkenmore Yeah I read an article talking about how EVGA told GamersNexus they were working on 2 AMD motherboards which is the Dark and FTW boards. Should be out Q3 of 2021 they said so now that the Dark is out I'm sure the FTW X570 is around the corner.
@@PabzRoz That makes a lot of sense because they didn't have an AMD team b4 and have undoubtedly had to form one, hire, do RnD and put money into it. I was initially thinking they'd dip their toes in with the dark and then wait for AM5 but shit, the work is done on AM4, get some of that investment back!
Same
@El Cactuar I've been building computers for the past 20 years and have only ever used evga gpus and psus. Never had an issue--no manufacturer is flawless but EVGA is known for quality
I would definitely give consideration to the EVGA Dark for AMD in a future build. However, at this point would probably wait for the next generation of processors and chipset.
Never get first Gen of new platform, see Zen1
@@kolecava you say that, but Ryzen 1 was a totally new architecture, and a dramatic upgrade to the previous at that. Also, I think we can trust AMD at this point 😉, don't ya think?
@@lio1234234 We thought that about CD then... well at-least they are still trying.
Evga made the best 775/771 board with their nforce 970i, not many others had a good enough South bridge to support the triple way sli back in ddr2. They would make a good of any architecture because of how far beyond the mark they want to push it
I was thinking that, seem a bit late to the party given the current CPUs are the last of the AM4 socket
I'm glad AMD is getting love, Been tough on my all AMD build through the years to find a motherboard reasonably priced and still feature rich. I sit on a X570 Aorus Elite and it's one of the best boards I've ever owned. It's good on the red side these days.
I totally love how EVGA makes the angled 24 PIN power delivery :D
That alone is enough reason to buy it.
i want this board just for that reason
I wish more MOBO's would have that kind of bios, so much easier
Wish they had had a more reasonable product stack, because their rotated connectors and design are great qualities
Yes, I thought that was great to see and it suggests they had their design team to brainstorm/consider issues and annoyances of typical mb design and how they can improve upon the design.
Right!
That EPS power alongside the 24pin is LOVE.
I have evga p2 750w. But their gpu caught fire, and 3090 faulty product killed by New order pc game.
1:38 - Me every single time I get any sort of instructions for anything I buy.
Also me 2 minutes later: Where in the actual fuck does this thing go?
I really wish evga would make a $250 version of this board with that awesome bios and features that regular people could use, like a good 12 phase vrm, as opposed to the freaking 20 phase on this Dark board.
EVGA’s bios: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Or more like: If it’s perfect, don’t change it.
dude i love that bios. i wish EVGA did more motherboards. like a mid and enthusiast class board. edit - i would pay a premium over other boards for em too.
You can pay a premium for this one man lol what ?
@@anthemsjam he means a different level of premium lol 300 bucks is still a high end board
@@cosmic_gate476 yo my b thanks fam
Id love a x570 ftw3 or xc3 motherboard (I know ftw3 has existed for intel MBs)
they need something that can compete with the x570 tomahawk price point and low temp vrm/chipset. But offer 3 nvme support. That would be a HUGE seller at
6:15 to see the motherboard
9:44 to see the back I/O (lacking imo)
13:22 Jay having fun with the board
Who uses much of the back I/O anyway. Anybody buying this board and know what it's about wouldn't settle for back panel
Love the tweaking on the bios without jumping into other settings to get to ram etc... extra steps wish it was like that on other motherboards
I never thought i'd see the day where EVGA made an AMD product. This is huge
Also Jay just yeeting components onto the board because he wants to see if it's gonna be good is a mood
Evga do not deserve our support on that. They never supported AMD. Evga was fine with an intel nvidia monopoly.
@@PyromancerRift Yeah, why support one of the better MB manufacturers? It isn't on EVGA to break monopolies...
@@fubarace1027 evga is mediocre and there are tons of reasons not to buy one of their boards, the ridiculous overpricing being the major one. It isn't on any enthusiasts to support monopoly supporting corporations with their money, you know, halfwit, those monopolies end up hurting the enthusiasts whose money evga wants.
They made them in the past. Socket 939, Socket AM2 and AM2+
@@PyromancerRift I'm guessing those Intel subsidies are starting to dry up or aren't enough these days to compensate for the loss of sales because they're not providing any products for the massively more popular platform of our times. Too little too late imho. There's but 50 people who'll buy this board and the rest of them will be shipped off to "influencers" for them to peddle it, as Jay put it.
I mean this board must really suck if they think the VRMs need that sort of cooling. Most of the high quality mosfets are so efficient that even if you put 500W through them they'll lose less than 10% to thermal inefficiencies so that's 50W we're talking about.
It's about time EVGA starts making AMD based motherboards. Now if only I could get my hands on a graphics card from them, then I could complete my all EVGA computer.
Ew you have a shitty EVGA PSU. Their PSUs are literally garbage tier
@@captinsparklezremix Umm... no? They're literally top tier. Most of the PSUs use Seasonic circuit boards which are usually top tier boards. Do some research. Why do you think all the tech channels use EVGA PSUs in so many of their vids?
Its not their first ever AMD motherboard
@@michaelperugini4199 I know.
@@turgsh01 Ive had two die on me but i keep buying them because they keep replacing them when they break. I also have an evga gfx card no issues, its great.
I feel like you were genuinely excited with this bit of kit. At least it sounded like it and I loved it! Just a real nerd nerdin' out :)
Thank you EVGA for finally re-inventing the board setup for a more simple wiring setup and more efficient power delivery. I can't tell you how much I can't stand the modern standards of today's motherboard setups.
I have two EVGA Nforce 680i sli motherboards and they are still going strong all these years later
I got one too, has a q6600 in it, lasted me until I got my 4790k all those years later lol 😂
@@What_In_This_World Both of mine have E8600's 8gigs of ram. One my 6 year old son uses and the other is being used as a file server for the house.
Can't wait until they release the more normal consumer friendly version with a x570 FTW-K. Gonna be niceeee.
I doubt they will. They'll wait for Zen 3 and the new socket I believe
@@davidmadera8577 were on zen 3

I would love to see that, but even if they wait till next generation I'll probably get a FTW Mobo as my upgrade path.
This hits different 11 months later.

The nerd in me was laughing as well. A little too hard. Total woman repellent type laughing.
@@friedclutch97 I break out that laugh sometimes.
XOC is not really my use case, so I can't justify a $600 motherboard. Looks Hella neat though.
It really does look damn good. That solid aluminum fin-stack on the chipset is beautiful.
@@AlphaMachina oh yeah, it's gorgeous to be sure. It's just way more board than I think I'll need for the foreseeable future lol.
There are people saying that there will be a FTW x570, so that would be a good one to get too.
@@icaruswindrune7116 I already have my board and CPU, so that just isn't that exciting to me lol. But I guess if I build a second tower down the line, it could be useful information.
@@ariyanadumon4549 yeah this is what im saying also ddr5 coming out soon so i don't really recommend going all out right now maybe in a couple years. then again i would never buy such a thing unless it was like 200 lol but yeah its dam nice looking
Honestly, I'm considering buying this motherboard just for that bios. That oc robot and stress test is amazing.
Edit: maybe not at that price but.. Still a great bios
I thought the exact same thing.
Maybe when I upgrade my 5900x to a 7900x (or 8900x) I'll get an EVGA board cause DAMN!!! Just not at that price. lol But it looks like their entire product line has the same BIOS. I'd hope the stress test would at least still be included on a cheaper board.
heres to hoping go figure a 4-500$ b550? lol
huh didnt this feature apeare on ASUS boards as well? I mean I had something in the past on my boards or was it MSI? I really cant remember ...
I hope you are an EVGA member or are active in the manufacturer’s social networks because from what I just read about the Dark board, this board is only available to those few.
I'm thinking you were saying yeah let's put affordable parts in it first but your soul was having a Tim Taylor moment and screaming MOAR POWWAR 😂
6:50 - I'd shake the hand of the person who made that change. They deserve a medal.
I would highly consider one if they made a lower version for mild overclocking. That bios is killer for sure.
im a bit of an EVGA fan boy so this was so exciting to see..not that i can afford this ultimate enthusiast X570 board but it bodes well for the consumer because this set a precedent, hope to see more AMD boards from them as we head into next gen tech
EVGA fan boy? The fact that you shouldn't be a "fan boy" of any company aside, with the exception of their power supplies and completely impractical products like KingPin GPUs and Dark boards, everything EVGA makes is cheap garbage that looks like shit.
@@jeph7442 Thats fine, not saying everyone should love their products but i do. Its mostly their customer support that makes my panties wet for them. They dont have the flashiest hardware, their software is admittedly below par but ive had nothing but positive experiences both when their products work as promised and when they straight up dont work at all, the RMA process is painless and effective.
Ive bought from plenty of other companies who basically said "oh well, not our problem, best of luck" so yeah, i put a big bias on customer support.
I try to use EVGA as much as possible. I've been using EVGA since the early 2000s and I've rarely have had an issue with their products.
@@RarestAce Had soooooooo many issues with their products and their customer support, but I do still use their PSUs in almost every build (I build systems 4-6 times a year for personal use or friends/family).
@@jeph7442 cool opinion, much edge
thankyou for everything you do to help us all with our pc building and problems, you are the reason i built my own pc and i had issues but by just watching your videos you helped me alot. cheers bro
Good video. Real good to see the sensible orientation of the ram slots. And the power connects all together on the edge of the board is a great idea too. Now I'm thinking about dumping my Aorus X470. No EVGA X570 available on ebay or amazon as of 9/28/2021
I would love more trimmed down versions of EVGA's "Dark" motherboards just to have the same BIOS. That BIOS is so good.
evga's ftw motherboard, check it out. not sure if it has the exact same bios but im sure it's similar. edit: I just looked into it and it looks like their ftw motherboards have a near identical bios which is nice.
Also I want all CPUs rotated like that now. That's a much better design for every reason.
I think the way it is now is left over from when intel created ATX in 1995 and most brands saw no reason to change it. Kinda like how qwerty on keyboards is left over from typewriters but since everyone is used to it 99.99% of computer keyboards left it like that.
Would cause a lot of clearance issues with a lot of cases and top mounted radiator/fans. Airflow is also a consideration because front fans usually blow air onto the ram. This setup is designed where ln2 is cooling the immediate vicinity, so airflow isn't a problem.
All threadripper pro boards are flipped like that too... I now know why
@@Wheres_my_Dragonator the airflow would be better from the front over the ram.
@@benruss4130 I’ve just looked at the Threadripper MB range and they cost as much as $,000 AUD, surely it’s only for specific commercial use. I could at a stretch buy a mb up to perhaps $1,000 AUD but not as much as these boards. Are they darn expensive because of the huge amount of cores?
This MB, combined with appropriate complimentary hardware, is my dream MB. This is just a plainly beautiful beast of silicon and metals.
That test bench set up out of the box is pretty cool. The RAM tuning is pretty cool.
This is actually a big deal. I can't believe it either. Alright Jay, its time, do a skunkworks type build with this thing if EVGA will let you.
@@Pops1970 Exactly, it's his board now lmao
Seeing this really makes me miss the overclocking content! It was always so enjoyable and interesting to watch
Great review I'm loving this board it's absolutely amazing I would love to test bench and just when I'm bored fiddle around with all the hardware like this.
Legend has it that Jay is still pulling pieces of plastic off the X570 Dark motherboard
Now that they're getting "first gen" AMD issues out of the way, I'm really looking forward to an EVGA Dark board for socket AM5 and DDR5...
Looks really nice. Would like to see some builds in both large, and small cases with the new Evga AMD Motherboards.
great unboxing review, hopefully, Jay put it to work doing something to test performance & stability over time.
EVGA, please continue making these kinds of motherboards. I'll be building my very own first rig with this soon.
Holy balls! I’ve been waiting for this moment for years!
looks like it's your lucky day then
@@deminybs i’ll agree when they are actually attainable. My guess is these will be scalped just like every other cool thing in the past 18+ months.
@@TheBeardofDOOM true....lol but hey if anything I haven't been spending any money my PC and can finally afford to do some work on my car 🤣
Motherboard costs $689 what the heck...what why??
@@TheBeardofDOOM Being a mainly XOC motherboard they might but it would likely be a bad move. Very limited target market. Most people at the high end want the flashy 4 sticks of ram, tons of needless stuff on the back and GAMING smeared across the front with 400 rgb headers.
As a brand EVGA kind of let me feeling 'meh' with my 3090 FTW3 & a whole RMA experience... But motherboard wise I enjoy seeing this kind of attention to detail & quality, definitely looking forward to seeing more AMD boards from them.
Obviously this board is for a certain demographic. That said, it's exciting because it opens up the possibility for a new line of boards under them that isn't only for world-class overclocking (likely LN2) stuff like this one lol. Think, an Asus Hero but improved & made better in most areas. It's a win for consumers.
My first & longest purchase from EVGA was a pair of 980s (yeah, remember those lol). Bit of an opinion but I've always enjoyed their "less is more" in the way of color schemes, the all blacked out PCB, just aluminum, no tacky random colors for "Epic", "Extreme" etc. Is nice.
I just got the EVGA 3080ti This board would be nice 👍 to add to the build
Could you detail the RMA experience? I've only heard good things from people and have had a good experience myself.
This is definitely a brand "halo" product, like a Ford GT or Dodge Viper - not meant to sell in volume nor even to make a profit, it exists to give the rest of EVGA's motherboards a cool factor. It could be cool to see some of the features trickle down onto a new line of EVGA AMD motherboards.
@@poipoi300 I didn't have that 3090 problem, but around the same time I had a 2080 Super fail. I contacted them, told them what I tried, and they came back with something along the lines of "Yeah, that sounds like a dead GPU. Would you like to wait for a replacement, or pay for an advanced RMA?" I asked them how that worked, basically they placed a hold on the current street value for a 2080 Super, and sent the replacement. It was there in a few days, I returned the defective one immediately, and within 3 weeks total the entire process was done, hold released, everything. Could it have been quicker? Possibly. But I had no trouble at all with the process. They did me right, and I have my shiz working again.
@@waldojim42 Yes that sounds like a pretty good process. Pretty much what I'd expect from EVGA but not many other manufacturers. Gigabyte makes you just want to give up the RMA if the issue isn't extreme.
Not related (but totaly) to computers but as a watcher for years im so taken over. As someone who struggles jay can truly say hes a life changer. I struggle but I keep going. Not just him but others as well. I see people that went from extreme hardship to making it.
Looks to be a very well thought out and built motherboard. Great review Jayz!
"tell us if you'd buy this 600$+ MB"

I just got x570 aorus extreme last week and i love it. No complaints so far. $700 bucks
@Ladioz
Not really... As when u buy high end GPU and CPU (consider Ryzen 5800X and the rest 5900X and 5950X, and for Video cards RTX 3080/ 3090, RX6800XT, 6900XT) they need to be paried with a high end PSU, MOBO, CASE, CPU cooler and so on... So there to be complete High end system, not some BS peasantry system where ur GPU is RTX 3080, ur CPU is 5900X, and they cost 70% of the whole system, and the rest parts are some cheap garbage... No thanks...
Not that i say 700$ is good price to spend for a mobo, no no it is not... But if i have high end GPU and CPU i will just buy high end mobo for sure and high end other parts too...

@@jaysail8783 don’t know how long you been following Jay or if you follow him at all but if you did you’d know even a good case makes a difference so yeah, there will be a huge difference between a 30$ and a 300$ case. Same as between a 100$ mobo and a 600$ mobo. Adding a high end cpu and gpu to a 100$ mobo is like adding Wish tires on a Ferrari. Works but sooner or later you gonna get rekt.
looks cool, good to see evga branching out. I'd like you to use it in a real world scenario(s) and tell us your verdict
I've never related more to a youtuber than when Jay opens the envelope, reads "Install guide" and throws it away.
For my x570 Build I went for the x570 Aorus Xtreme because it seemed to be the only board with Armor and I prefer my motherboards with armor.
But I want this one as well for my Caselabs Builds !
It's been a while since we've seen Jay this excited about a new component.
Love the board btw.
Everyone’s forgetting EVGA used to make AMD boards in the past. I had a nForce 730a for awhile, cool board and way ahead of its time in a lot of ways.
Yup. I still remember their weird yellow/green Socket 939 nForce3 and 4 boards
You really have some great videos. I really feel like I am in the age of information when I watch you. Thank you for all the information.
Year 2022 - This video got recommended after EVGA left Nividia. Let's hope they go full AMD GPUs
Phil laughing in the background is something I need in the rest of my life.
Just have children they will laugh at you all the time.
cringe
@@livebig6414 for real. Who says sum shit like that about a grown ass man....
100% would buy this board if it had more than like 6 USB. Gimme at least 8-10.. why is that so much to ask for more USB than an ITX board?
You can add a PCIe usb card if the only thing preventing you from buying it is usb io.
I don't need this hard core of a motherboard but I really like the settings you are showing in the bios. I would definitely consider evga for my next mobo in the future if the come out with lower end models, say 200-300 range.
I've had EVGA units before and lasted 10+yrs... Glad to see they stepped up to AMD.. What needs to be done is their temps on their components so we all can compare to Godlike & Tomahawk, etc...
My X58 E762 Classified ran 24/7 @ 4.5ghz for over 5yrs (it still works and I kept it for a backup), and I'm currently typing on my X99 that has been running 24/7 @ 4.5ghz since 2015. I'm due for an upgrade, and all I can say is it'll be EVGA, although I'm waiting another year for DDR5 and PCIE 5.0 to be well established and stable. AMD or Intel, I don't know, depends which one is better when the time comes, but it's pretty badass they make boards for both now.
I'd love an EVGA AMD board. Sadly this ones a bit outta my price range.
maybe FTW model in the future
This one is just stupid, make no sense unless you chase numbers.
I'm just sad Jay doesn't digress anymore... :(
@@Lloyd-Franklin - That in itself is a digression...
But he does digest.
i love that they move the eps header, that really helps since it's a pita to get to it when you have a rear fan and aio top mounted rad installed but then why the hell did they put the usb port for the bios flashback up top, when it will be covered by your top mounted rad? So now if you want to update your bios you have to remove your rad everytime, unless you have a bigger case like an 011 Dynamic.
As I understand it, that port is just for bios recovery if you FUBAR it rather than the primary update method.
a be quiet tower cooler on that board with that big heat sync and a vertical mounted GPU would make that board look sooo aggressive and i can wait to see what you do with it
EVGA always have a nice thought out very esthetic products and I'm glad they are dipping into the AMD pool. I hope they get into AMD graphics cards too at some point. I'd really consider buying those in my next upgrade round.
It can be a risky move for EVGA. they most likely did not want to repeat XFX mistake. Also AMD current AIB also will not going to like big brand like EVGA to enter their market.
EVGA made a ton of AMD motherboards for 939-am2/3. They used Nvidia Nforce chipsets for AMD.
I never really cared about Dark Series. I enjoy living vicariously through other people to see them overclock. But it's not a product for me. But I look foward to Jay doing some LN2 overclocking on this board some time soon
luv the pcb and standoff test bench board i think they should start implementing that on all future motherboards, encouraging peps to build out of the box to test b4 installing in the pc case. great to see the EPS with the 24pin together i luv that.
Love those michelin's in the background jay!
Wow. All my years in the industry and I always looked away from EVGA boards and most of my personal builds are AMD or intel Xeon based workstations... This is indeed very intuitive BIOS EVGA. This is how you make an AMD Board and this is how you make your First Motherboard. Great Job EVGA! The amount of time it saves being able to stress test inside the bios cannot be understated.
EVGA mobos always could do that though. I had the EVGA classified SR2 back 9 years ago and it was meant strictly for the OC community, like this board here is. This isn't meant for gamers or for workstations, this is strictly enthusiast overclocking tier stuff. You can use it for gaming and workstations, but it's really a waste of money for that kind of stuff (because the limited RAM options.)
@@MrHunterseeker it is still a good feature for both workstations and gaming. Whether extreme or on air, overclocking is overclocking. Being able to verify your OC in bios without having to waste time with crashes and more testing in the OS would be a God sent.
i smell a full EVGA build in the future.
This RAM explanation makes me feel better about the fact I'm running one stick in each channel in my asus ws ace x570. I had four matching sticks but it wouldn't work with all or even the usual single pairing, but now I guess at least I'm getting the best stability and latency I can get.
I have 6 x570 dark heroes running in the office and I love those ....but this dark one from evga has something to it....that bios is really a winner...
Now if only they would make a ITX version.
that's what I'm waiting on. I think they will have a complete lineup when Zen 4 releases next year.
I understand the excitement about Evga making an AMD motherboard but call me when they make a Radeon GPU. I've never had a problem with ASUS motherboards which I've used since the AMD Athlon "Game Cartridge" CPUs.
BtW, ASUS just released a whole line (4 boards, from Crosshair VIII down) of new "Windows 11" compatible X570 motherboards...
The beefy radiator that's between the two 16x PCI-e slots, are designed to cool the m.2 drives that can be installed underneath it.
I would really like to see more of your reviews of EVGA mobos that are out now and into the future. I have a new build with X570 Aorus Master. I'd love to get your reviews of EVGA's line to see more of what they offer in detail. It's easy to read up on something, but you and your team have a way of showing those things as end users and highlighting the real use case for a particular piece of tech. Hope to see more of these types of things from EVGA, like you I am a fan of that company, but for the regular consumer market. I know You Can Fixit!! 🤓👍
Now I want to see an EVGA Radeon RX 7000 series or maybe 8000.
It'd be wise not to piss off Nvidia as we've seen from the past
@@kionera96 nvidia are not the only problem. amd existing AIB will also not going to like it for another big brand like EVGA to compete in their market.
Mosfets for the CPU are still on the left side, which makes the "shorter runs" invalid for the CPU power. I think its rather that its cleaner when working with pots on the cpu
Nice looking, love the BIOS setup/look (wish all where that easy), I stopped over clocking so would be a waste for me. Would buy if I had more money than sense. Will see what the reviews say down the road.
really like the the simplified bios - good thoughts Jay
What I'm mostly interested in motherboards these days is actually how fast they can handle the mobo portion of boot time. With modern SSDs and a lightweight OS, the OS boots in 2 seconds flat... but only after a 30 seconds of combined POST, splashscreens and bootstrap time. We should be doing better, boot times are massively bottlenecked by the mobo now, not the hard drive, yet it's not even measured in reviews or sales specs.
My X570 Dark Hero with a 5900x boots from button press to login screen in 9 seconds. If you are looking for something quick this board is nice.
My 3900x boots in 8.4 seconds and my 5950x boots in 6.8 seconds so I'm not really seeing your point
@@Klairity the point is that it's basically just a crapshoot, because there's no available data for this, and it can vary wildly between motherboards.
@@LordSoulSicarious not that wildly, largest changes are better power delivery, better sound chip, extra connectors etc. from low end to high end of a lineup, they're all using the same chipset and lower number of phases is fine compared stock to stock, the beefed up power delivery is more for overclocking but a 5950x will boot in about the same time in any x570 motherboard.
@@Klairity the big factor that you're missing is the BIOS/firmware of the mobo, and how quickly the physical hardware handles POST. A faster CPU will process all the boot stuff faster, and can hugely improve OS boot performance (though not as much as the boot media performance) but that's just one factor. I want to know, for a given CPU, which mobos will result in faster or slower boot times.
It is NOT EVGA's FIRST AMD MoBo, they had made some before. Have a deep look in their history ;)
CPU running at 200 C
Jay: It's fine.
Dude I was literally on Corsair iCUE while I was watching this video on the background. Crazy.
Yessss a ultimate motherboard available at the end of life of AM4. Great succes :)) Just wait for AM5.. better idea :) Good Product late to party tho.. :)
I mean, realistically they wanted to release them *at some point*. A few folks wanting to squeeze the life out of their 5000 series CPUs will be enough to make a market for this thing. Converting the board to a new socket's probably not as much research as starting off from scratch with a manufacturer that your company's never built for before. I imagine there will be an AM5 version of this fairly soon.
It's expensive, but damn does it ooze with build quality.
end of life come on mn relax youre that rich ?
@@gamingbigfilipp Yes, and yes since am5 will release am4 will become end of life.. eventualy :D
My thoughts exactly. I'm actually excited about this board for AM5
@@gamingbigfilipp End of life doesn't mean obsolescence.
I'd love to see a B550 version of this board, for the vast majority of us gamers who don't need the X570 features. A cheaper price and no whiny chipset fan would be an insta-buy for my next system.
There's no reason to go to an interior chipset. At this point the x570 is paid for itself and the price will drop down. And you don't need active cooling for it, you just need a heat sink. A lot of other motherboards would put these massive chunks of aluminum on that are more for style than actual thermal dissipation. That's why the ended up with those small fans. Newer motherboards don't have fans. They can live with passive cooling
Arent there enough B550 and sub X4-570 boards for the mons already?
Let these guys focus on the "1%" Not everything can be about the basic folk
Can't wait to see you get your hands on the MSI ek collab board.
Hey Jay, while you’re on the topic of over locking, do you have or will you do a video on something like Ryzen Master?
I wanna see Jay try 5950X and 2x 3090s using LN2 on this board
Jay: "This isn't a paid for video."
Also Jay: Advertises EVGA product and gets 700€ mobo for free. 🤣
How would you review a product without "advertising" it??
I like it they have huge gap between GPU's not like 1 nex to another (thermal throttle all the time) and cmos reset in front panel
Finally gave up on my Gigabyte Aorus Elite. Will look for the standard ATX EVGA Black. Thanks for the presentation.
