Z390 DARKPart No: 131-CS-E399-KR

INTRODUCTION

The EVGA Z390 DARK sets the standard for motherboards based on the Intel® Z390
chipset. The Z390 DARK is designed for ultra-enthusiasts looking to pull every last
ounce of performance from the new 9th Gen Intel® 8-Core CPUs. The Z390 DARK
features a 17 Phase VRM design, along with two right-angle 8pin 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, which
can be displayed on the dual-LED displays. The Z390 DARK contains Creative Audiowith EVGA NU Audio, two Intel® Gigabit NICs, mini-Display Port, onboard power/reset/CMOS buttons, PCIe disable switches, triple BIOS support, and 8 smart fan headers.
Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z390 DARK features
EVGA’s newest UEFI/BIOS GUI focusing on overclocking and functionality with brandnew features such as OC Robot and EVGA-only In-BIOS Stress Testing.
