EVGA has formally launched its first AMD Ryzen Motherboard primarily based across the AM4 CPU socket, the X570 DARK. The motherboard goals to be an enthusiast-grade motherboard with all of the nuts & bolts to make it the most effective overclocking experiences with the Ryzen Desktop CPUs.
EVGA Lastly Launches Its First AMD Ryzen Motherboard, The X570 DARK, Priced at $689.99 US
The EVGA X570 DARK motherboard is not a conventional motherboard and as a result of a number of causes. It’s designed purely for enthusiast-grade AMD Ryzen Desktop CPUs and carries an enthusiast-tier construct high quality and a horizontally positioned socket which performs a key function in pushing reminiscence overclocks to the very restrict.
The X570 DARK from EVGA options the AM4 socket with help AMD Ryzen Desktop CPUs as much as Zen 3. The CPU socket is powered by two 8-pin connectors that are positioned subsequent to the 24-pin energy connectors, all of that are right-angled for simpler cable administration. Jacob Freeman of EVGA has confirmed that the chip is an ‘X570S’ variation because it would not function an active-cooling answer.
The board has a powerful 17 Part Digital VRM, a ten layer PCB, and probably the most notable factor subsequent to the facility supply are large aluminum finned heatsinks. There are at the very least three units of those heatsinks protecting the VRMs and the PCH, all of that are interconnected through a large copper warmth pipe. These heatsinks are coated by a pleasant metallic body which ends up in the I/O plate that options an RGB lit ‘X570 DARK’ brand. Moreover, EVGA has built-in twin PWM followers throughout the I/O plate that blow air in the direction of the heatsink for elevated cooling.
Coming to the reminiscence slots, there are two DDR4 DIMM slots on the EVGA X570 DARK which can be rated to help 4800 MHz+ (OC) speeds. The explanation for placing them horizontally in an untraditional method is to maneuver the lanes nearer to the CPU socket, permitting for higher signaling and in return, larger reminiscence speeds than the standard design. You’ll be restricted by simply 64 GB capacities however that is greater than sufficient for a mainstream platform. As for growth, EVGA has supplied two PCIe Gen 4.0 x16, a single PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, and a couple of M.2 slots of that are Gen 4 compliant. All M.2 slots are located between a cumbersome heatsink plate that has the ‘DARK’ labeling on high.
We’ve already seen some spectacular overclocking numbers and benchmarks put ahead by KINGPIN utilizing the EVGA X570 DARK motherboard on AMD Ryzen 5000 & Ryzen 5000G CPUs. A few of them are posted under:
German overclocker, DANOCP submitted his personal overclocking numbers on the EVGA X570 DARK motherboard and posted an FCLK of 2066 MHz (1:1) and an overclock of 4.8 GHz on the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X clocked at 4.8 GHz (all-core) which is fairly spectacular contemplating this was finished on commonplace water-cooling and never LN2 cooling. You possibly can see the check outcomes under:
Some important options of the EVGA X570 DARK motherboard would come with:
- 150% Elevated Socket Gold Content material
- 2-Manner SLI Assist + PhysX

- Sluggish Mode change locks CPU multiplier to lowest potential setting to permit customers to modify between max OC and low speeds in real-time.
- SPI flashing through USB lets you flash your BIOS and not using a CPU
- Helps AMD Ryzen 5000 Processors
- Triple BIOS Assist
Storage choices on the EVGA X570 DARK motherboard embody 8 SATA III ports and a single U.2 port (all right-angled). For many who will probably be pushing the PCIe lanes on the motherboards, there is a supplementary 6-pin energy connector supplied subsequent to the audio PCB. I/O features a 7.1 channel audio jack, 4 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Sort-A, 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Sort-C, 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1, PS/2, Twin-Antennas, Twin Intel 2.5GbE NICs, HDMI/DP ports. There are additionally Twin Probelt headers and multi-function POST indicators subsequent to the BIOS reset and Energy switches on the motherboard.
The EVGA X570 DARK Motherboard has been priced at $689.99 US, making it some of the costly AM4 motherboards.
