Buildzoid does his VRM analysis for GamersNexus on the EVGA X299 Dark - "Ridiculous Overkill"
their doing overkill stuff man, it is awesome though.

Love this board and thought about building a system with it, but not for $500. Then to add you have to spend almost $1,000 to get more then 28 PCI Express Lanes.

Now you know why I went with a Threadripper purchase.

Does your ASRock X399 Taichi allow bootable NVMe Raid 0?

Yes and as a matter of fact I have 2 SM961 Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs in Raid 0. The X399 Taichi can actually hold 3 M.2 NVMe M.2 SSDs but I only had enough cash for 2 M.2s. It would be nice if I had 3 M.2 NVMe SSDs for raid 0 instead of 2.

Nice. When did you win the lottery?  I remember you used to run low end systems and now you're running top of the line gear.

Well I'm doing a lot of trading and swapping to accumulate funds. I hope I can save enough for 2nd gen Threadripper.

Way too many bad memories of amd chips of old. Staying away until threadripper proves itself after a couple generations.
Admittedly, insanely better specs than chipzilla however.
I used to mine. Now I compute.

AMD stock manipulators most like. :) Back on topic. Disagree with "ridiculous overkill". Given observation of 7980XE running core, mesh, and 64GB memory overclocks, I would describe as "barely sufficient". :p Dark VRM maybe:  But 7980XE:

EVGA is the only Mobo Manufacture in the World came up with this wise idea to installed active VRM cooling in their Mobo and it's work 100%, not to mention those Fans are really quiet for theirs high RPM.

I saw a video of the Dark prototype: it did not have VRM heatsink fans and the heatsink itself looked to have been chosen by the marketing department rather than the engineering department. Thankfully by releasing later than the "usual suspects" EVGA engineering could see this would have been a problem and changed it.
Thing is, if you are going to water-cool your CPU, there are plenty of monoblocks solutions for X299 boards that will address poor VRM heatsink design.
I've been thinking about a totally unnecessary upgrade from X99 to either X399 or X299... X399 I have been put off by numerous bios, memory and latency issues experienced by others. And X299 put off by value for money (vs X399) and SK-X IHS paste. If they solder the Skylake X refresh, maybe that is enough to push me. And the Dark is my favourite X299 board.
(Currently on X99 Micro2 which works great).
