It is OK for end user to perform a standard replacement of the fan-sink on the board.
Testing stability and performance after each and every modification will provide the best user experience while keeping your hardware safe and always benching over and over again.
Patience, attention to details and changing things in small steps is key for successful overclocking. Always pay attention to details and do some online research on these topics before doing any tuning alterations. Overclocking/overvoltaging your EVGA X299 DARK on any type of the cooling is usually safe for the hardware, as long as it’s done correctly. Proceed with caution and at your own risk as only you are responsible for the possible outcome of out of spec stress.
Table 1: Introduction to EVGA X299 motherboard lineup Warnings & DisclaimersĬonsider everything below as “educational material” and provided AS IS to aid in the understanding of the true power of your shiny new X299 system. Featureįull FCLGA2066 Core processor lineup, except Xeon-Wĭual-purpose backplane for custom coolingĢ-way (Kaby Lake-X) / 4-way (Skylake-X/CascadeLake-X i9) Table 1 provides brief feature comparison for all three motherboard models. X299 Micro (131-SX-E295-KR) – microATX board, 2-way SLI only, compact and powerful platform.Īll of these boards support full lineup of Intel® Core™ X-series processors, from entry-level 4-core i5-7640X to beasty 18-core i9-7980XE, however there is big difference in overclocking margins and I/O functionality available on different boards.X299 Micro2 (121-SX-E296-KR) – microATX board refresh, 2-way SLI only, compact and powerful platform.X299 FTW K (142-SX-E297-KR) – ATX board with 3-way SLI support, 8 DIMMs for every day performance demands.X299 DARK (151-SX-E299-KR) – full-size EATX board with 4-way SLI support, Extreme overclocking ready.Same board also supports Skylake-X refresh Core™ X-series 9th generation and CascadeLake-X Core™ X-series 10th generation processors.ĮVGA currently have multiple models available for Intel X299 platform. Intel® Core™ X-series processors are available for quite some time already, with highest performing 18-core monster Intel Core i9-7980XE processor released in the end of September 2017.
