I haven't been able to find anyone reviewing it yet, should they start showing up soon?

    I don't know that anyone has them just yet. The initial drop today for Elite members in the queue was dismally small. Fewer than 100 from the looks of it.

    All I can find via Google searches is old speculation based on press releases, and those are from around January of this year.

    Perhaps the reviewers are getting theirs as we speak, and we'll see something soonish.

    Looked at PC Part Picker over the weekend, and it's not listed, but that could be because it's not available 'retail' yet.

    Never mind, I mistook the original question..

    Do you believe any such review would be different from current Wi-Fi 6 operations on other older systems?  
     
    It does show to be an Intel AX201, which has a different interface (CNVio vs PCIe) with the system than most Wi-Fi cards..  Maybe they don't use Wi-Fi 6e because there is not yet an Intel 6e card available in the CNVio interface format..

    This isn't a review but I did post a video showing what I did with the build, see youtube video below. I'm still waiting for them to release the EVGA ELEET X1 version to work with this board, mainly so I can enable the onboard "Z590 FTW" RGB text.
     
    The OC Robot in bios was very easy to auto clock my i9-11900K to 5.2GHz on all cores. The bend of the main mobo power connector to the right is a very nice touch, helps keep the cabling clean. The mobo heatsinks are very heavy duty and thick. My video card barely snapped into the pci-e slot while the bottom of it physically touches the mobo heatsinks (maybe this will help with the cooling lol)

    Sorry to quote this, I cannot find much info on this CNVi Interface compatibility with PCIe. I want to run Win7 and there's no Win7 drivers for AX200 Wifi cards, only the old ones as for the Interface itself, I saw people remove the AX200 from ASUS Crosshair Dark Hero and other X570 and other WiFi6 boards and install an Intel 8260AC for Win7 installs. Not sure if this is still possible on this AX201 WiFi 6E since it's CNVio2 Interface which is damn proprietary garbage.
     
    I hope someone with knowledge can let us know if we can use the PCIe WiFi modules electrically on this new Interface. The interface physically is M.2 2230, I can see photos of the slot and Z590 FTW Manual also mentions Key E M.2 32mm similar to Z490 FTW  and Z490 Dark, looks like the CNVi has something in between.

    I used to be a die-hard Windows 7 user until I found Windows 10 LTSC. All of the bloatware from regular Windows 10 is gone and you still get the security updates and driver compatibility.

    I don't think there is any reviews for it yet.

    When I looked yesterday, all I found was the old speculative stuff from January. I don't think any of the 'review partners' have them yet. I'd have thought EVGA would have fired off a few to Tom's and other sites by now.

    I'd also love a review if anyone happens to stumble across one.

    Tom's finally did a review of the z590 FTW!
     
    Mostly stuff we've covered quite thoroughly here, but I did find it interesting that they only tested memory in gear 2. Also, they showed the EVGA board being behind in most productivity benchmarks, but ahead in gaming benchmarks compared to other z590 boards. Not by any significant % in any of the tests, but it was somewhat interesting I guess.

    6Q6CPFHPBPCU691 is a discount code anyone can use.

    who is rethinking intel vs. amd given the teaser video EVGA posted? I cannot wait

     
    If they had it available when I was ready, I would have either gone with a 5800x or tried for months to get a 5900x. That said, they didn't. Also, they announced the z590 Dark...6 months ago? It still isn't here. Who knows when they'll have some kind of x570s(?) board out? I got sick of waiting. In the meantime, I have what arguably the fastest gaming CPU on the planet. Will there be something faster in 6 months? Who knows...a year? who knows again? There's almost always something faster a year away. In the meantime, I'm having fun and have no regrets about it lol.
     
    My perspective is generally that you should upgrade when you need to assuming parts are available. This last year and change have been a complete mess, so the availability part has been a stronger role than normal. The only time I suggest people wait is when a launch is really close. That will either reduce prices of last-gen parts or allow access to something new and faster (in general).
     
    Of course, perhaps your question is for those waiting on the z590 dark? That would make more sense and wipe most of what I said lol. The hesitation would be what people intend to do with it. Dark boards are usually all about OC and benchmark/gaming potential. Intel still wins there right now, even though they draw twice the power to do it. So if people are looking to go after benchmark crowns with the board, and those benchmarks are game-related (3D-mark), I think the z590 with 11900k would still be the way to go. If they're looking to do more high-end CPU-productivity loads where they need the 12 or 16 cores, definitely x570s would be better. I don't think we really know how much improvement the new 5900x-+extra-cache versions are going to have and we don't know when they'll launch or what availability will be. It is only very recently (literally the last few days) that I've ever seen the 5900X in stock that you could just put in your cart and order and that's AMD's best gaming CPU. So I think the "how long do you want to wait" question is still very important here.

    ^ very well said. Agree with every single word.
     
     
    As for me personally EVGA means OC and Tuning, and for Ryzen how big of a window does it even have. All I read are PBO2 and XFR, these are better along with CO (curve optimizer) and some basic DRAM tuning. The VRM components and circuitry might be great but no idea on how much does it even allow. As for the X570 itself, my post might be negative but it's what that I learnt from the official subreddit and other places, anyone getting X570 should be prepared to do Corerecyler runs out of the CPU from the box to check it's core stability (due to WHEA codes in HWinfo and System log this is as per OCN WHEA thread in AMD subsection and supposedly it's fixed now I do not know) and if they tune with CO they need to do that again, if they use DRAM changes they need to do that again as well. Then we have the Windows 10 May 2019 update Ryzen Power plan and CPPC2 UEFI BIOS setting options, so if anyone running Win10 LTSC should look at all their options of testing the CPU with all of this.
     
    For the X570 BIOS thing, there is an ongoing issue of USB connectivity and USAP, I extensively use USAP drives for data transfer to the HDDs and after searching for the update AMD mentioned a recent update for BIOS should fix, unfortunately it didn't. OptimumTech Ali has a recent video of cleaning his main machine, he does mention one aspect of his rig that he had issue (he doesn't put stress but he did mention is my point) search for "USB" on subreddit.. So yep there are so many things to look out, and since EVGA didn't mention what board it is, is it X570 or X570S (no idea how things are on this board SKUs as they are just released onto market) or is it Threadripper based. I think folks should properly do research on what they are buying be it anything, from computers to X.
     
    And last but not least and most important of all things, prepared to be waiting for months. I have been waiting for Z590 DARK ever since it got debuted, waiting for manuals, photos and what not only info is release date for Elite is pegged at maybe 2nd week of July ?
