The only way that I can see EVGA making an X399 board is if a couple things happen.
1, Threadripper smokes the i9 series both in price and performance and has at least 1 geewhiz feature intel doesnt
2, AMD approaches EVGA and makes a good offer on the licensing and other gobbledygook needed to legally make an X399 board
3, Enough people start requesting it from both sides of the aisle, meaning people who want it are hammering AMD and EVGA both to make it happen.
Maybe then, but only maybe. I would also imagine that should this happen, it would be a CPU only deal, no radeon cards. Nvidia has shown itself to be vindictive in the past regarding previously exclusive companies picking up radeon.
