Introducing the EVGA Z690 DARK K|NGP|N Motherboard

The long awaited Z690 Dark has been revealed.

We have already seen photos of the motherboard and visually the board looks much like the previous edition Dark boards.  The CPU socket is rotated 90 degrees with the DDR5 memory being positioned across the top.  This locates the power connections along the right side with a more direct route for cable routing and airflow control.

The board comes with only two 16x PCI Express slots with a huge heatsink in the middle for M.2 drives.  Of course, the real power is the 12th generation Intel processor support and with past Dark motherboards focused on memory overclocking you can be assured that the advertised 6600Mhz+ (OC) memory support gives you plenty of room to play.

  1. Intel® LGA1700 CPU Socket
  2. 2x DDR5 DIMMs
  3. 3x M.2 Gen4 Key-M Slots
  4. PCIe 5.0 x16 (x8) Slot

Introducing the EVGA Z690 DARK K|NGP|N - The Motherboard Designed by and Used by Professional Overclockers. EVGA DARK motherboards blaze the trail for other boards to follow, and the Z690 DARK K|NGP|N is no exception. The ability to destroy world records is insignificant next to the power of a 21-phase VRM and a 10-layer PCB – capable of driving the most powerful 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. With support for 64GB of DDR5 memory at up to 6600MHz+(OC), PCIe Gen5, and PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSDs, a new DARK age of overclocking will rise as quickly as new hardware becomes available. The Z690 DARK K|NGP|N is today’s choice for the future of overclocking and gaming.
