I love it. It’s amazing how giggly we all get with these things. I’m about to move my 3080 from my 3770k over to my 12900kf. Sadly, not on an EVGA board…for now. I did a bunch of benchies, and I have a feeling I’m going to be picking up my lower jaw from the floor with the differences.

Hello EVGA,
 
I like to thank you cordial for the Z690 Classified. Especially your engineers, who designed it. It's a true "Classified". It's something special - like your boards from back in the days! I'm very glad I bought it. Please, keep on with your good work, and stay healthy, safe and sound!
 
- Regards

Will there be any promotion on Z690 motherboards the same way there is one now for X570?

Will there be any promotion on Z690 motherboards the same way there is one now for X570?

They ran a 50% off promotion for 6 months or so that ended a few days before the 13th gen launch.

They ran a 50% off promotion for 6 months or so that ended a few days before the 13th gen launch.

I missed that promo. Do you think there will be another promotion in the future? Black Friday or Cyber Monday? How was it with z590 dark if anybody knows?
