No USB Type-C, and as an H370-based board, it's unknown at this time if this would support overclocking K-series CPUs (initial announcements indicate 'no'). It also lacks support for faster system memory. That's two, potentially three major downgrades over my Z270 stinger.
 
On top of that, it looks like EVGA's engineers are still struggling with:
 

• getting the USB headers around the edges, where they should be, and where everyone else places them (Kudos for at least moving the 3.0/3.1 gen 1 header to the edge this time)
• pre-installing the wifi card and antenna connections, like literally everyone else

Pricing has never been the strong suit of the Stinger series. You paid for a product with fewer features than the competition, but better warranty and customer service. But potentially lacking overclocking and support for > DDR4-2667, it's going to be VERY hard for EVGA to sell this at the typical Stinger launch price of $179-$199 when you can get the Gigabyte Z370N for ~$150 and have been able to for awhile. So I'll be curious to see what the MSRP is for this board. At $99 it has a market, but the Asrock Z370m is only $15 more at that point.

H370 does not support overclocking, so K sku CPUs would literally be a waste of money. That took 2 seconds to find on google. I can not wait to see all of the complaints about not being able to overclock from people that don’t research the simplest of things.

B85 can't overclock either, but the Gigbayte G1 Sniper B6, which uses B85, can overclock K-series CPUs.
 
In the past, gamer-variants of non-OC chipsets have allowed overclocking in some cases. So it would be foolish to assume that just because the main chipset doesn't natively support overclocking, that someone won't get it working.
 
Might want to spend more than 2 seconds on Google.

Question asked and answered. So, as stated after 2 seconds on google and then 5 on twitter, no.

I saw that you were the one to ask the question on Twitter. Also, you deliberately misrepresented my stance. All this because that 2 seconds on Google didn't show you that even if a chipset doesn't natively support overclocking, a 3rd party vendor can add in support, and thus, it was a viable concern.
 
But thanks for doing the legwork for me :)

Does it support HDCP 2.2 over HDMI in order to play 4k UHD like Gigabyte does with there itx boards?

These chipsets don't 'officially' support overclock nor do they 'officially' support SLI

This should be a good 4K UHD BD ITX board,
since other 4K UHD BD available Z370 MBs (except ASRock one & EVGA Classified K) have VRM overheat issue or TDP limit.
(You know 8700 needs a very good VRM design because its power consume is 172 watts during the Prime95 Small FFTs's stress test)
But H370 has no X.M.P .....

H370 uses CNL-P PCH which is expected to support the future i7 9700 8C16T.
But Z370 will support i7 8700K 6C12T only.
For this feature & all 4K UHD BD requirement & better VRM for current my 8700's AVX2 workload, I'm considering having it.

But one suggestion: Can EVGA add the replaceable BIOS back?
My EVGA X99 Micro2's BIOS has been destroyed once by rebooting a foreign Windows 10 installed from a CSM-off PC so if it doesn't have the replaceable BIOS function it will make an RMA more complicated.

According Intel leaks shows that H370 will support next gen. intel processor! Only their Z370 will not! Time for me to buy new motherboard if it comes with a reasonable price-tag

The MB is starting to be the new build part that costs the least :-(
 

It seems like it used to be that way when I started to build computers. Seemed like graphics cards and CPU was most of the build cost.

prices are OK in the US at 159$ and right now 139$. 

Price in Europe is coming in at a whopping 180€  There are Z370 m-itx boards that goes for less... 

Please keep in mind that our website does not always list pricing correctly when a product has not yet been sold or placed in stock.  Since EU has not yet sold this for the first time, the price may very well change before it goes in stock.

I will be looking forward for the price once it launches to the european market.

You guys going to make a mITX Z board?

No Z mITX board (who knows, maybe in the z390 line up). It was said somewhere in Reddit that they wouldn't do a mITX MB for the Z series.

Also, congrats on the new build you're going to do.
I want to see the picture of the dual system
