I'm going to be truly biased, I'm loving the all the beautiful shades of grey on these boards!

I think the boards look awesome. I wish they were all black, but even with the white cover they still look really good to me. I'm into sleek understated looking hardware. I hate the RGB and flashy stuff. Great job EVGA
I would consider the FTW, but I don't like the M.2 placement on these boards. Seems like they would get hot right under the graphics cards. I hope someone will tell me I am wrong about that.

RGB on any motherboard can be disabled in the BIOS. Depending on the GPU you have, it could blow hot air right onto the #2 m.2 spot. I like how ASUS puts a m.2 slot on bottom right away from the PCI-E slots.

These new boards are hideous. Z97 and Z170 evga boards are much better aesthetically.

I'm liking the board designs!!     The PC Gaming hardware space has gotten too flashy & busy with RGB everything.    ugh!
 
I've always liked minimalistic designs..    so these boards look to be exactly what I was looking for.
 
I haven't 100% decided yet on a motherboard..      I was semi-decided on the Asus ROG Maximus X Hero, but I'm holding off until I see some more details and prices on these EVGA boards.
 
 

then they need to charge a minimalist price then, for the same price you alot more with some other brands. honestly if i was going to build a 370 setup i would go with the asus board, the features and look just have evga beat.

Yeah, I agree with you on that these new z370 boards are not the best I have seen. All the other board makers offer a lot more features, wifi, B/T, RGB and enhanced sound software but the customer service EVGA provides is still a strong selling point. The other issue is other than the x299 micro, you can't get the FTW or Dark that were announced months ago and who knows when they will be available. You can buy z370 boards already from competitors but EVGA's are no where to be found. So if one is champing at the bit to upgrade, how long do you wait?

To me the best customer support is the one you dont have to call, of all my asus, gigabyte and evga boards ive had i never had one with hardware problems. Sure i have asked questions about certain things but other than that no problems. Evga big drawback is the small niche market they serve, at one time you would wait because you wanted the best enthusiast board, but asus and gigabyte have really closed that gap now.

Kind of thinking (Deleted for Foul Language) here myself.   EVGA I dread buying pc parts without the quality of your customer support, even if your warranty policies have changed since I bought my fist evga videocard a GTX 285 and you denied me a step up on my latest card because I didn't purchase it three days later. 
 
But.. the FTW was released later than the competition, at a price point higher than some of the competition while offering less features. My 8700k will be here today or tomorrow.  I've selected a case with RGB fans, cooler with RGB fans..  and pretty much all of my visible components are will be EVGA as I love the modular power supplies.. and my video card are EVGA.    But currently.. there's going to be one component looking a bit out of place because it says AsRock, or Asus, or MSI, or Gigabyte.  I
 
I'm having to build my rig over the next few weeks for budgeting reasons.  mobo will probably be my last decision... part of me wants to stick with EVGA just in case I end up with a dud and need to RMA within the warranty period.   The other parts of me disagree with paying more for less, as I've never really had many issues with motherboards in general in my lifetime.. built in wifi sounds like hey I could move my office and it still be okay that my fiber optics jack is on a wall in the room I'm currently in.  ANd sure, I could still do that by buying a usb wireless receiver or something else.. but if it's built into the mobo that's one less thing I could possibly lose.   RGB sounds like it would match my new case and fans.. and for all the people who don't like RGB?  Personally.. there's always the option of turning the lights off. 
 
I'm assuming the classified whenever it comes along will be more expensive than the FTW.  And while built in Creative audio sounds nice.. my usb headset doesn't care about it.   I'm a little disappointed.   My Power supply has an EVGA Logo, so does my video card.  And currently, my z68 is still running my 2500k @ 4.3ghz and running strong.   That Asus logo is going to look out of place through tempered glass.   I considered myself EVGA for life.. abandoned Asus from the moment I built my first intel system with EVGA parts.    But.. asus/msi/asrock are all  seeming like the better bang for the buck at the moment, at least for 300 series motherboards.
