Hi all, just asking for all expert opinion here, I've seen a very rare post of the folks that have 10980xe on Dark board and I don't know the latest 10980xe will work well on the Dark ? I'm on the latest bios 1.21 this should work with the latest 10980xe because i have a friend who is working for intel and he can buy it with an employee discount so I consider going for it, any suggestion! Thank you !

The 10980xe should work fine on the X299 dark with latest bios. The reason you don't see very many people with them is for two reasons. 1. Intel is having major manufacturing issues so not very many were or are being made, Intel also knows it is not a big seller so can focus on producing more lucrative products with its limited resources. 2. Amd's 3rd Gen Threadrippers are much faster at every conceivable task with out extreme overclocking and even then the 10980xe is only barely faster in gaming. This is not to say its not a good cpu, in a vacuum it's a wonderful cpu, just not compared to the competition, so its a catch 22. The people that actually do want them can't get them and Intel doesn't make but just a handful as it doesn't seem to be a competitive product.

Thanks vegajj51 for the info. I agreed and know that AMD recently has slightly topped over intel. The reason I plan to move on 10980 is I love the X299 Dark, secondly, my friend can buy 10980 with nearly 60% off for employee instead I buy with 100% as the current market price that is not bad ( but it is not available to stock for employee now ). Also, i don't know how much improvement 10980 over my current 7940 so i ask people's opinions. Thank you for all opinion/suggestion! I hope all of EVGA Folks be safe due to the COVID-19 !!!

Question was If i9 10980XE work on X299 Dark??Nobody was asking you to do a comparison between intel and AMD??? It's all over Places if someone wants to find out? And i9 10980XE is selling like a Hot Cake? And last don't forget about C2D CPU lineups where AMD were Destroyed?

I did answer his question while also explaining why he is having a hard time finding reviews of people with the X299 Dark and a 10980xe. Intel has made very few of them, can't sell like hotcakes if you made less than 1000 units worldwide.... :-p

You need to read buddy. The OP said" I've seen a very rare post of the folks that have 10980xe on Dark board" Which is true, where are these tons of X299 dark with 10980xe reviews? This is an EVGA forum.... so where are they? Anyways the OP already thanked me for my post and moved on, no need for trolling and muddling up his thread after the fact.... so just to end this you can believe what you want, Intel is selling tons of 10980xe's... so many they can't keep them on shelves contrary to everything posted on the internet about Intel's struggling 14nm manufacturing.

Is Intel screwed? You could justify a 9900K. But the justifications just got smaller and smaller and smaller. Yeah, it's gaming now, right? Like that's it. It's gaming with a 2080 Ti. Right, right, right. With a high refresh panel. At low res... lower "normal" res. And that's... it's tough. Who's going to give up 12 or more cores for that? In bold for relevance: 10980 XE is flying off the shelves! (sarcasm) I do wonder how they are selling though. Ahh... not well! I know that motherboard manufacturers, from what they have told me, have warehouses full of X299 and can't get rid of them. That's not good. It's grim. It's bad. Right? It's bad. But that doesn't mean.... They (Intel) haven't run out of money yet. They are not done. Summary: Short term, Intel is screwed. Long term is not very certain. Intel's roadmap is bleak, but who knows. 2021 will be an interesting year. 2020 will be AMD's year, for sure.

Setting platform arguments (AMD / Intel) aside, it should work great. The Dark's VRM is actively cooled and it has multiple 8-pin inputs - that's a big part of why on my X299 Micro I went with a 10920x instead of 10980XE (not a huge price difference at that point) - the Micro's VRM is so-so and the single 8-pin would limit to maybe 300-something watts on a good day, and a hardcore OC on a 10980XE can draw > 500.
CaseLabs SM5 mATX, Intel 10920X @ 5.0Ghz (Watercool Heatkiller IV black copper), EVGA X299 Micro, 64GB (4x16GB) G.Skill 3200Mhz CL14, Founders 2080Ti (Watercool Heatkiller IV Acrylic Nickel), 2x HW Labs GTS radiators, Watercool Tube + D5 pump/res. Lucky to leave near ModMyMods, using their ModWater Clear!
