The Ultimate Z590 Motherboard Guide

EVGA

EVGA is hitting the market with a fairly limited selection, but that’s pretty much what they always do. Rather than a full range of motherboards, you get an extremely high end one, and then one that’s even more extreme than that! These are both hardcore extreme performance and overclocking motherboards for bleeding-edge gaming performance and world-record-setting. Beyond that, they’re overkill for most PC users.

The Dark is one of the most highly tuned boards I’ve ever seen, with a 22-Phase VRM and a heatsink and copper arrangement that looks like it has enough cooling potential to freeze the sun. This motherboard is purely designed for overclocking world records. Sure, some with deep pockets may put it in a gaming rig, but it’s unlikely to see its full potential without some LN2 on top of it.

While the Z590 FTW is the lesser model, it still seems extremely overpowered compared to most consumer boards from other brands. Basically, this one is Extreme, and the other is XTREME!!!! It still offers up a 17-Phase VRM, an 8-layer PCB, and absolutely enormous head sinks and armour. 4800 MHz+ memory support. 7.1 audio, Gigabyte NIC, and all the other usual top-end features are more than accounted for too.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
