X299 DARKPart No: 151-SX-E299-KR

INTRODUCTIONEVGA introduces you to the ultimate in raw performance for the next gen Intel® Extreme lineup: The EVGA X299 Dark. The Dark is craftedfrom the ground up to be the performance apex with everything you need to make a record-breaking benching run or a 24/7 number cruncher, and nothing you don’t – a board that is as reliable as it is fast. The EVGA X299 Dark has all of the current gen top-tier component support,multiple M.2 slots, Intel® Optane™ support, multiple U.2 ports, up to 128GB of 4000MHz+ (OC) Quad-Channel RAM on a Skylake-X or up to64GB of 4133MHz+ (OC) Dual-Channel RAM, dual Intel® GbE LAN, USB 3.1, and a full-featured GUI UEFI/BIOS.
There is much to be said about a beautifully-engineered motherboard designed to handle the highest loads or the mostextreme conditions, let alone the rigors and abuse constantly demanded by the best overclockers in the world, and still look good doing it.
This was achieved, in part, by using a 12-layer PCB, a 16-phase Digital VRM (12 VCore, 1 VSA, 1 VCCIO, 2 Phase Memory PWM), 100% solidstate capacitors, a CPU socket with 300% higher gold content, and an external BCLK. The X299 Dark proves once again that until you haveused it, you don’t know the power of the Dark side of the EVGA motherboard lineup.
