EVGA - EU - Products - EVGA Z490 DARK, 131-CL-E499-KR, LGA 1200, Intel Z490, SATA 6Gb/s, 2.5Gbps LAN, WiFi/BT, USB 3.2 Gen2, M.2, U.2, EATX, Intel Motherboard

The EVGA Z490 DARK sets the standard for motherboards based on the IntelÂ® Z490 chipset. Designed for ultra-enthusiasts looking to pull every last ounce of performance from the new 10th Gen IntelÂ® 10-Core CPUs, the Z490 DARK features an 18-Phase VRM design, along with two right-angle 8pin High Current connectors to provide maximum power for overclocking. Two SMT DIMMs enable high-frequency and low latency RAM overclocking. The 10-layer PCB is studded with multiple sensors to track a variety of temperatures and voltages across the board, which can be displayed on the dual-LED displays. The Z490 DARK also contains one IntelÂ® 2.5 GbE NIC, one IntelÂ® Gigabit NIC, a mini-Display Port, PCIe disable switches, triple BIOS support, 8 smart fan headers, and many more premium features. Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z490 DARK features EVGAâ€™s newest UEFI/BIOS GUI with a focus on overclocking and functionality in a lean, straightforward package.
