Very interested, looking to build a 13th gen Intel rig.  Was looking at the Z690 Dark but I'm gonna wait to see how the Z790 Dark benchmarks.  I'm shooting for 6Ghz on a 13900K chip and EVGA seems to be the only game in town for that.

...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Ordered CLX360, which should be arriving at the same time as my 13900K. I'm eyeballing some highly reviewed G.Skill DDR5 memory as well, but I'm also after the corsair M700 or similar, so my holding pattern is all over the place. Upgrading from 8700K, so really looking forward to new build. I'm really happy they're working towards release close to the CPU launch though. I was starting to worry I wouldn't have enough EVGA parts in my case.

Is the Classi going to to have the pcie setup like the Dark this time? x16 support for both slots would be nice.

I saw Jacob mention on twitter that the launch goal is mid-November for these.

APEX launching nov 15th 

hype! just a few weeks!

So with the z690 dark kingpin being $829 how much do you guys think the z790 dark kingpin will be? $1000?

Any word on if EVGA Z790 boards will support OCTVB or be able to set core multipliers based on how many cores are being utilized? Would be nice with how hot these chips are running.
