Hey Guys,
could anyone tell me the release date in Germany / Europe?
I have to apologize, not reading al 21 sites of this thread ;)

Halo_003

Good news on a program, my only advice to EVGA is just keep in mind how many hours of troubleshooting and downtime current X79 boards have cost customers. 

KimbaWLion Having looked and read what little there is on the Dark, it looks good and there are a number of hardware improvements that should solve a lot of problems. Jacob says the Bios was done from the ground up and hopefully that will make a real difference. It is coming out later than first anticipated and want to believe that is a good thing for new builders as well as those who participate in whatever EVGA offers. Will everybody be happy, I THINK we know the answer to that. I come from the school that as long as something is done and its done as fair as possible that is a good thing.

I'd check the fine print.. chances are there's a 30-day return policy or something similar (depending where you purchased the motherboard from), which you agreed to when you made the purchase. If you chose not to return the motherboard in those first 30 days, then offering repeated RMA's would mean EVGA are keeping to their contractual obligations, so you wouldn't have a leg to stand on legally (IF those were the terms of purchase). That doesn't mean EVGA shouldn't do something for you, if for no other reason than to maintain arguably one of the highest levels of goodwill in the industry. Just saying... best to check that out before threatening class-action lawsuits etc..

You're not doing yourself any favors mate, for a variety of reasons. I suggest you talk to your 'awesome lawyer cousin' before you mouth off here any further - he should quite easily be able to point out how you've already shot yourself in the foot as far any any chance of a successful lawsuit goes, primarily because of what - and more importantly when - you have commented on this thread. If he is any good at all, his first advice would be to tell you to stop posting here.

Just an fyi, yes, I do have experience in this field in my employment.

My MB finally "broke" down  couple a days ago, need a new one, preferable the EVGA Dark due to my earliar experience with EVGA MB.
As I understand now Dark eta is at least 4 weeks away ? Thats  a long time . Can it be sooner?

No need to tell me that  "you" think there is better options out there for me. Due to my past experience on several levels I prefer EVGA over anything else.
Thats is how it going to be if its not to far away.
Any way in Norway  web stores  have a least 14 days return right without give any reason and get your money back.
Also RMA to the store gives normally you a choice between a new part(also from different brand) or money back. So little or no risk involved.

Just to be clear, my present MB is not EVGA, but a Asus Rampage III Extreme that have giving me nothing but troubble for nearly 3 years. I had none accept for it earliar, neither from ASUS or the store that sold it. But now when it got a easy noticeable fault the store gave me my money back. This is not the first Asus MB RMA for me, I had several.

I am hoping for some really cool features from the Dark.  Back in January EVGA was planning on releasing this motherboard in March.  They have delayed this board 3 months for what I am hoping is a fantastic MB right out the gate.

Will Dark be able to run the PCIE in 3.0 mode with todays CPU's, just by change settings in bios or will it need the "hack"?

When is the earliest/most likely eta of lga 2011 cpu that support pcie 3.0 without using tricks and hacks?

Also read in a Norwegian forum www.itpro.no that DDR4 is coming this summer and it will probably not support todays version of the 2011 socket, any comments?

I suggest going to the Intel site and doing some reading on processor specs.

Still will need the hack, this is an NVIDIA driver limitation, not board.

Thx Jacob for answer, I was lost in the belive it was an CPU/Intel missing of official support for 3.0.

I feel maybe my next question is a little dumb: Evga and other x79 MB makers have a remark similar to this about the pcie 3.0: "Pending/depending on pcie 3.0 suported CPU"
What am I missing/not understanding about this?

Thx for the hint Dustingg.
I knew that Intels spec sheet says support pcie 2.0 for i-7 2011 cpu. 
So with 2011 Xeon cpu one can run pcie 3.0 on 2011 C606 Series MB(?), is xeon also working on x79 MB  to get pcie 3.0?
Cant se any Xeon cpu listed for EVGA x79 MB in CPU Compatibility List

Some use: "Pending" on cpu, when I used google translate "pending" was = "Wating":  In Norwegian, so I asumed one was waiting on a 2011 cpu to arrive that support pcie 3.0

Can we expect to be able to run pcie 3.0 with 2011 i-7 cpu on x79 MB without the "hack"? if so, when? Soon?

The Nvidia driver thats roadblock pcie running in 3.0, what is it  for?
