I have not seen any discussion about EVGA motherboards, question to EVGA motherboard owners, are they any good?

Yes, in general. If your in any other country than the US the RMA customer service is def not as good, but the hardware itself is built to overclock and they will last a long time if taken care of. I still own a 780i FTW that still works great and the P67FTW i used for 10 years and JUST replaced with the x299 Dark in the last 6 months that still works just as good as when i got it. Actually, i still have 33 days of warranty left on my P67, lol. 

Really? My experience with EU support has always been good. Although, would not know if it is now.

EVGA is notorious for disregarding EU customers.
 
Kind of how they also disregard AMD for motherboards.

it depends on what motherboard and for what

Any particular reason evga not doing any AMD boards? I would think with the uptick in market share from amd they would want something out there to be competitive? Just a thought any one have any insight into why no amd? Maybe Intel agreement? Or some such

I think agreements have been mentioned before, but there are also factors mentioned about how they only have so many people and not enough to put sufficient resources into designing quality products for both brands. Their long-term customer-base is used to overclocking Intel CPUs and they'd lose some following if they just cut those off probably. Their motherboards are generally targeted to overclocking users and Intel is significantly more known for making chips that can OC well.
 
Another thing I think most people don't consider is that Intel's current lag is not permanent. AMD is slapping them around a bit right now, but it hasn't been that way for many years and Intel has a route back to the front ahead of them (probably Meteor Lake on the 7nm EUV node as it has the highest chance for being a major leap forward for them). So with motherboards being probably the smallest part of EVGA's business, it may not make financial sense (or be feasible with existing staff) to switch all the way over and do AMD boards for 2-3 years, especially when AM4 was already at EOL and they would have had to really learn two new platforms, then switch back to Intel after that when they already have a team of experienced designers, contracts, etc. for Intel. Also, if EVGA is all about overclocking and the AMD chips aren't really suitable for OC for most users, how are they supposed to jump in and take market-share when that's their main focus?
 
Of course, this is just conjecture on my part, but I am an engineer and work in product development...albeit in a completely different sector...so they are at best somewhat-educated guesses lol

Well, no AMD - so No?

I don’t have one myself, but a couple of my friends have EVGA Z490 and Z590 boards and they absolutely love them, was hoping to get one for myself for a new build but couldn’t get my hands on one unfortunately. If you can get one, EVGA motherboards are really good quality and overall solid motherboards

I would say so yes

Can't wait to get my hands on one.

It's not bad based on my experience.

Yes its so good

I want to know the same thing!

It also unavailable. And expensive.

Never tried one before

They're solid, but my go to has always been ASRock. I don't need the extra features that EVGA boards usually have.

i was wondering about the same thing. how do you justify the price of an evga motherboard?

I can say they are very good, I had one for my previous system (2014) and it is still working (not for gaming, but still)
