We had no issues running any of our three kits (the fastest is DDR5-7200) on this board. EVGA supports up to 64GB of DDR5 8000+(OC), one of the highest speeds listed on ATX or bigger boards. The two unreinforced DRAM slots sit just above the socket area with locking mechanisms on both sides. We couldn’t hear the tiny VRM fans underneath during testing over the test system, only during POST when they quickly spin up. On top of the actively cooled VRM heatsinks is a plastic shroud with black grating to hide the unsightly bits below. These can benefit the hardcore/extreme overclocker, but for most, this will just be bright white and green LEDs. Just to the right are a slew of informational LEDs that show the status of several onboard items, including PCIe slots, M.2 sockets, Vcore, and several other voltages. You can measure CPU Vcore, CPU VCCIN, VDD, and other voltages critical to overclocking. This 10-pin plug allows users to easily read voltage directly (which is more accurate) from the board by connecting your probe to the tendrils, each reading a different voltage. On the top half of the board, we start with the upper-left corner with the ProbeIt connector. Below is a complete list of the included accessories. Still, you get what’s needed, plus useful tools for pushing the limits of your hardware. It’s a bit paltry for an $800 board, and half the items are geared toward benchmarking rather than daily use. That Dark Kingpin includes some accessories inside the box to get you started. Inside the Box of the EVGA Z790 Dark Kingpin Power/Reset/Safeboot, BIOS/Slow mode/PCIe switches 21 Phase (18x 105A SPS MOSFETs for Vcore)
