Hello all,
as these have been requested for a bit and in several threads, rather than trying to find all and posting in all, I am making a new post here.  The manuals are in the regular manuals section, but here are the Direct links:
 
EVGA X299 Micro
EVGA X299 FTW-K
EVGA X299 Dark
 
For all wondering there is full PCIE (CPU and PCH) lane breakdowns per CPU type, Page 23 for the Micro, page 24-25 for the FTW-K, and Pages 27-30 for the Dark.

Awesome!  I expect EVGA will see a ton of bandwidth here in the next few hours.

"EVGA X299 FTW - K (142-SX-E297) - 6 - Motherboard Specifications  Size: EATX form-factor of 12 inches x 10.375 inches (304.8x276.7mm)"
 
Is the Size given (Height x Width) or (Width x Height)?
 
I bought a Corsair Crystal Series 570X RGB ATX Mid-Tower Case that does ATX (Up to 272mm) Wide.... 4mm is small enough to the point i doubt it will matter, but i want to make sure im reading the sizing correctly

Nice. But how about the Dark? Or could you maybe answer one question? Will the 3rd PCIe slot be functional with a 28 lane CPU on the X299 Dark? I am looking to use slots 1-3-6 all at 8x with a 28 lane CPU. Is this possible?

Most likely, in the motherboard maker's defense when the CPU maker says it's a 140watt and don't tell when you overclock it at +200-300MHz it shoots up to 500+ watts it's hard to make VRM heatsinks for it that does not take half of the computer case.  Especially if they give the motherboard makers the CPU spec a month before release or in the i9-7980xe's case tell the motherboard manufacturers that they are going to release a CPU that they themselves didn't know they were going to a week before.  /speculationsoff

Zach, it is taller than it is wide, about the same dimensions as the old X99 FTW/Classy

PE3 is disabled on 28 lane proc, and PE6 is 4 lanes from PCH with a 28 lane proc.  You will need a 44 lane for that setup.
