EVGA is making its first motherboard for AMD Ryzen CPUs and it's nigh time

Blackball it being a cruel joke on enthusiasts, a abbreviated 9-second video clip uploaded by EVGA to YouTube pretty much confirms the company is acquiring ready to harbinger a motherboard for AMD's Ryzen processors. There's really nothing else it could beryllium, and IT's about time EVGA embraced AMD's moment of Zen.

AMD introduced its AM4 socket in September 2016, and shortly after, the Ryzen 1000 serial publication arrived. Now almost five years late, AMD has strike its stride with Zen 3, the latest generation of the computer architecture that denatured the landscape painting, and which underpins some of the best CPUs for gambling.

Curiously enough, EVGA has avoided making a motherboard for Ryzen processors all this time, though that's about to change.

The annoyer video is named "A hot Darkness is coming..." and through a plume of smoke, a Ryzen logo appears, encircling EVGA's "Dark" stigmatisation. While no product name is mentioned, I'd wager EVGA is getting ready to announce an X570 Dark motherboard.

Information technology wouldn't make a undiversified lot of sensory faculty to go with anything other than AMD's top chipset for Ryzen (X570). EVGA goes all-out on its Dark lineup. The Z590 Dark for Intel processors, for instance, features a 10-bed printed racing circuit display panel (PCB) and a 22-phase voltage regulator module (VRM), and is built for overclockers and "everyone other demanding the ultimate in carrying out."

"As a wise overclocker once same, 'Once you start down the Caliginous path, forever wish it reign your lot', and with the EVGA Z590 Dark, that destiny is sure to atomic number 4 filled with shattered records and countless victories on the battlefield," EVGA says.

That kind of over-the-tipto hyperbole would be a bit a great deal for the B550 chipset, and we can safely assume EVGA won't establish a board around the previous generation X470 chipset. The timing is just too odd for something corresponding that.

As our friends at Tomcat's Hardware point out, this won't actually be the first motherboard to support an AMD processor, just the first ace for Ryzen. More or less of you may recall the EVGA nForce 730a, back in the Athlon 64 era. That board was collective for AMD hardware as well, though was based on an Nvidia chipset.

To my knowledge, the upcoming Dark SKU will be the first to feature an actual AMD chipset. I expect EVGA to founde AMD the square-toed Dark treatment with a robust VRM, oodles of connectivity options (including USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, 2.5GbE LAN ports, and Wi-Fi 6), onboard diagnostic LEDs, and addressable RGB light. But, we'll have to wait and see.

He does not give birth any tattoos, but thinks it would be cool to get i that reads LOAD"*",8,1. In his off time, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only same of those is on-key).
