Review EVGA Z690 Dark KingPin Review: Overclocking-Focused Flagship

[Admin]

The EVGA Z690 Dark Kingpin sports a stealthy, black, RGB-free appearance, robust power delivery, and an expansive set of features including SLI support. Priced at $699.99, it’s the value option compared to its other flagship-class peers, but is well–equipped and prepared to push your PC parts to the limit.

At the time of writing this, Amazon UK list this board at £741.57. There are no circumstances under which I would remotely consider, paying so much for a motherboard.

RAM slots that go from front to back? Who is this? DFI? 🤪

😛EVGA makes some of the most ugliest, yet, most expensive motherboards. They need to improve those looks!

"cons: only three NVMe slots"

Seems to be a silly thing to complain about when that is just about the most NVMe slots one can possibly cram on an ATX board before either running out of PCIe lanes or space short of putting them on the back of the motherboard or standing them straight.

If you are really that desperate for more NVMes, simply toss an NVMe card in the second x8 slot. If you are really REALLY desperate for tons of NVMes, I'm sure someone will eventually toss a PM50052A chip on a PCIe card with 8-10x 5.0x4 NVMes somewhere and must have done so with its PCIe 4.0 predecessor.

Don't like them using bennic caps.... At this price their should at least use something better like mundorf.
