Can anyone give me some info on these pins? This is the bottom right between the USB2.0 Header and the Front Panel Headers. May not be them but looks as if they are labeled JEC1 and JC2

I originally ruled that out as I have a Gigabyte and MSI TPM board and they are 11 and 13 pins, but I guess it's all down to the vendor. So I looked up TPM pinouts and saw a few with 19pins, so its very possible thats what those pins are (at least the larger bottom block, still not sure the 6 pins above that) Either way no proper labeling on the board or anywhere in the manual to confirm this - that I noticed. But so far that's the best guess

I received my notification at 1:30 MST today. You can scratch my name off the list (or add a yes to that line). I sold my 5950X and Crosshair mobo so I don't have any use for it now. The next person under me that hasn't received their notification will get it when my time runs out. I went back to Intel... got tired of all the issues I was having with WHEA errors unless I limited FCLK to 1900, horrible memory latency and USB dropouts. Decided Ryzen 9 wasn't worth the nonsense that I needed to endure.

^ This lol You are aware that everything above 1800MHz is considered overclocking? With Intel ADL there is even less headroom for overclocking and not worth the work

I am not into casual overclocking and what you say is only true if that is how one approaches the hobby. Had it been pleasing to me I would not have gotten rid of it. It was very disappointing product and didn't impress me as a competitive overclocker. AMD 5950X can barely handle a 20-25% overclock, (which I find very boring,) runs way too hot at lower clock speeds, has horrible memory latency and a few other quirks that really ruined my AMD experience. In stark contrast, I run my Intel systems with a minimum of a 40% overclock as a daily driver speed. They are more reliable, more stable, and more fun. On chilled water much higher than 40% and chilled water got me maybe another 2 to 3% more headroom on the 5950X.

I tried several different memory kits. Crucial Ballistix 4400 CL19 and three different Samsung B-Die kits. Patriot Viper Blackout 4000C17 and G.SKILL Ripjaws 4000C15 (both single rank 16GBx2) and a G.SKILL Ripjaws 4000C17 dual rank 32GB kit. Of those, the Ballistix kit was the worst and it was returned for a refund. The motherboard was a Crosshair VIII Hero.

Which I might add is running pretty high clocks compared to before(as well as tight timings though it's at 2t cr)

I did but I'm not clear on something. Do they start the notify list immediately or do make stock available day one and go to notify upon selling out?

Since October of 2020, they have been just starting with an "auto notify" button, even on the first day of launch. For all of these motherboards (except maybe the z590 FTW if I remember correctly), they have had inventory to send out on launch day. That looked like: 1. auto-notify button goes live. 2. later in the day first people that clicked that button (for however many stock they had that day) get an email to purchase. 3. if people skipped, those boards go back into the queue for the next day. 4. next day, people next in the queue list get an email for however many boards they still have to send out. 5. steps 3 and 4 repeated when new inventory comes in until they catch up. Button goes green after that happens with the words "in stock" for live ordering. Because of this, and the fact that it doesn't come with any sort of transparency about where we are with the queue, we just help each other figure it out. If you look on the beginning of any page of this thread, I've posted a list for the Dark boards for people that have let us know their notify time and then let us know when they get that email to order it (whether they order it or not). For the x570 FTW board, that list is over here. They've sent email invites to purchase to everyone who hit that notify button in the first ~5 hours of the launch day so far. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the clarification. Even EVGA customer service didn't answer succinctly. Now, I just have to decide as I received the FTW notification today if I go for it or chance it and wait for the Dark. I'm not an "extreme" overclocker but I would like the OC Robot software. Wait...now I see that it does list OC robot on FTW....

Basically the dark has the best possible vrm design as well as shortest traces for memory ensuring highest clocks/tightest timings If you don't care for best possible performance like extreme overclockers as you mentioned, then go for the ftw board Biggest difference is dark has 90 degree turned socket to improve stability and clocks for the most extreme enthusiasts 😆 Also only two physical slots for ram as that is best for stability/also no space 🤣

Well, I won't be doing liquid nitrogen on a test bench so I might take advantage of the FTW if it does have OC Robot as I'm sure it's probably sufficient for water cooling.

Guess I'm going to hold out for the Dark. I've waited this long and it would sit on my brain that the FTW subtracts features such as the 2.5gbe that competitors have. Just hope EVGA won't make me wait much longer.
