Introducing the EVGA Z790 motherboards, the pinnacle of high-performance computing. Featuring the Z790 DARK K|NGP|N and Z790 CLASSIFIED, these motherboards support the latest Intel® Z790 chipset and are built for extreme computing with 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Series processors utilizing PCIe Gen5 lanes and DDR5 memory. Those familiar with EVGA motherboards will recognize the powerful digital-VRM design, VRM and M.2 cooling, and sturdy low-loss PCB construction.

Dream Team of Overclocking

Lead by Vince “K|NGP|N” Lucido, EVGA has gathered some of the best Overclockers around the world to push the limits of what a motherboard can do. Through non-stop overclocking, their results and feedback have directly helped to improve performance and create record-setting hardware.

The EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N rises once again. Built on a 14-layer low-loss PCB with a 21-phase VRM – this board will squeeze everything out of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. This board supports up to 64GB DDR5 and up to 8000MHz+(OC)*, PCIe Gen5, and PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe support. The Z790 DARK K|NGP|N auto-switches the x16 PCIe Gen 5 CPU lanes between slots 1 and 2 to give your PCIe device maximum bandwidth no matter where it’s installed**. This board also includes 10GbE and 2.5GbE NICs + Wi-Fi 6E / BT 5.2, 7.1 HD audio, 3x M.2 Key-M slots, and 2x pump headers for CPU AIO. The Z790 DARK K|NGP|N remains the choice of those that want a board capable of unbelievable performance.

* Achievable speeds may vary depending on memory configuration and CPU memory controller.

** x16 lane support if only one PCIe slot (PE1/PE2) is populated. x8/x8 lanes if both PE1 and PE2 are populated.
