Hell yes! 100% I finally got my hands on one and on its way to me in Australia. I'm so freaking excited as I've always wanted an evga motherboard. I'm also switching over from intel to AMD for the first time too. My current rig will stay alive and serve another purpose but won't be thrown out as it's stilk decent and will set it up for family and friends to play on and have their game library on it etc while being a storage server on the network but this evga board looks awesome i know it'll work well I can't wait to get it and put it all together with all new parts!

Glad you managed to get your hands on one! Is a great board!

EDIT: Is the board compatible with a Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black?
 

Are you asking because of RAM clearance?
Prob depends on the the kit more than anything...

EDIT2: 243 micro second DPC latency, ouch

What are you referring to? Latency from mouse click to action?
Where did you get this info?

Why do you ask?
 
The real killer is no CPU PCIe to USB ports.  But I haven't seen the EVGA Dark Block Diagram.  Dang, can't upload an image of the Xtreme X570 Block Diagram.  The Xtreme has CPU to USB Host Controller rear USB ports, the other USB Host Controllers go through the X570 hub which also has integrated sound, integrated NIC, etc.

I just managed to get some parts to get it running. I love the board however I am new to Evga motherboards as well as Amd so I do apologise there. I ended up with a 5950x, 32gb g.skill ripjaws 3600 14-14-14-34 ram and have carried over my titan rtx for now until ada love lace is launched. Am waiting on a cpu block for custom loop but have a spare 240 aio for the time being which i know isn't exactly ideal but better than nothing. If someone can direct me to the right forum etc I'd like to learn about Amd cpus and how to get the best out of it for example overclocking and working around the Evga bios too, any tips and help be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Congratz Getting the Board. Hello to down under. Get your gaming on

Just received my Board! Can't wait to put together my new PC in the coming days!

Anybody know - this mobo have got external clock gen for OC on BCLK ? This option is important for OC of 5800X3D.

X570 DARK should have an external clock gen.  I would be careful trying to OC that chip, however.
 
Both X570 motherboards use an internal clock generator.

So happy with this board running my R9 @ 4.2GHz and my GPU @ 2710MHz!!

Does the DARK 1.08 BIOS have the VID bug where if your EDC is higher than 140, your VID is limited to 1.4v?
 
I'm thinking try 1.04 but 1.08 overclocks memory better so I'm torn.

im looking at this board on newegg and after some reviews it says sound is not that great. does anyone know anything about it. i guess i could buy a sound card. im not into overcloking so i might should stay with my asus rog b550 f mobo. any thoughts. thanks

Hey! I have the X570 DARK for over a year now, but haven't had any sound related issues so far. Mind you i only use the rear audio which is Realtek HD (the EVGA NU Audio is limited to the front ports).
You can find detailed information on it here: https://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/121-VR-A579.pdf Page 88 for Realtek HD and Page 106 for NU Audio.

thanks do you think it would be upgrade from the asus rog b550 f. and my current setup im using 2 nmve m.2 so if i change mobos would i have to reinstall everything

It's an XOC X570 board, so it's definetly an upgrade. But just like me the 5800X3D tuning is locked/limited (can't make use of the built in OC Robot either). But still everything is beefier on this one.
I'm also using double NVME on this currently, one Gen4 and one Gen3 (you want the faster/main drive in the top slot btw).
Ofcourse as with any motherboard change, you would want to start with a fresh windows install, as even with "uninstalling" old drivers doesn't always get rid of the previous platform footprints.
We now also have ELEET X1 with fan curves, so you can adjust it from Windows (needs latest BIOS and latest ELEET X1), i found this one a very nice addition!
Ohh and lastly, the RGB was the least effortless to control/handle on this board compared to any other vendor i tried (which is ironic, considering this isn't really about that kind of marketing and features)! 

can it take the 5800x3d out of the box and whats the digital counter at top. dont think i had a high tech board like this before. and i really like how the 24 pin is sideways and the cpu connect is on the side. but im not an overclocker so it might not be worth it.

does anyone know if the screw hole pattern is same as atx. i have a asus rog b550 f in a corsair 5000d case and would want to make sure it will fit. evga is 1.3 inches wider.

It's an EATX board, so you will need to make sure it fits the case (it's wider than your current ATX, look for SSI-CEB on google, thats exact size).
No, it can't take the 5800X3D out of the box, you wanna update the BIOS first. Support starts from BIOS 1.07, but you should flash to 1.09 since that is latest (don't forget that you need a flash drive and format it to FAT32 and only put the BIOS file on it, then follow instructions in manual how to flash without CPU!).

X570 Dark with 5800X3d upgrade. CPU clock says 0.54 in the v1.09 bios. Windows 10 barely runs. What am I missing?
