EVGA is like, the consumer who went into business for the consumer but knows they need to make money to stay. We cannot let these guys go away. Seriously, top tier company.

[holenjd]

I just hope EVGA never goes out of business or sells. That company has always been good to me. Hopefully, they will expand into more mainstream motherboards in the future so they can grow that part of their business.

[mistermudpie]

I wish they would some upper-mainstream boards, still for enthusiasts, but maybe not so geared for extreme overclocking. They could expand their motherboard business that way and also more people would get to enjoy EVGA goodness.

I remember I had a EVGA card that needed a bios update, I took to their location in La Habra CA, not far from me, and they did right there. Apple did the the same for me replacing a old white MacBook when I was in Las Vegas doing a major presentation. You appreciate companies that actually do something for you and understand it's important to you. I still use a EVGA 1050ti in my Ryzen 5600G build as card for using handbrake to encode, not for display. That was the magic about EVGA, knowing that you as a individual person, took care of it without a RMA form, or playing email tag. One call to a live person, and the problem was solved.

It’s definitely a specialized board and it looks great. I hope they release sort of “XC” class of motherboard at some point. Their engineering is amazing, but it’s way beyond what I would ever use.

[Shadowbot]

I hope they do make am5 boards eventually. Would love to have one whenever I upgrade

[weroliera]

I want to have a Evga board in a future build. Really hope they make consumer boards not just these ultra price boards

[casedistorted]

Oh EVGA. I had all my GPU's from you, so seeing your name just makes me sad that I can't get GPU's anymore :(

[jmeistr]

Their motherboards are really hard to find in europe (including their own store) so i understand why they don't sell that many. I would love to see some AM5 boards in the future with better supply here.

[Maysh.]

I'd really love it if the 24 pin and 8 pin being on the right side of the board became the norm for all mobos in all price ranges. It makes the 8 pin more accessible and having them turned makes for much cleaner cable management. It could end up being just the GPU cable/s that are visible in builds.

Seems simple to me. EVGA is out of the GPU market, blow up the MB market. High end to low(er) end. The last EVGA MB I had personally was the EVGA X58 SLI Classified, so that was a while ago. I'd have gone EVGA for my AM4 setup but they were late and limited. I have always appreciated the thought they put into their products, for a long time they had a pretty good edge over others. Also their customer service has completely outshown the competition. Jacob has been incredible. I honestly am not sure what I'm going to do with them out of the GPU market.

I really hope EVGA picks up on AMD stuff. I would love to have a solid, reliable EVGA AMD motherboard and possible AMD graphics card. The last PC I built was a 5930K system with all EVGA parts. PSU, motherboard and GPUs, which were dual 980ti (that I still have). It all seemlessly worked. I wasn't crazy about the motherboard not having 4 pin fan headers, but I used a fan hub anyway. I'm still holding onto my EVGA 3090ti until its no longer viable or it dies.

[KnivesTV]

EVGA is one of those companies that seems to obsessively care more about their products than anyone else, even if it costs them extra to make something. It is a solid company.

[scottgardiner]

evga excelled in the main stream GPU market. They could really do the same in the MB market. I wish they would participate more in that arena.

[vitaliyklitchko]

The only brand that deserves its price tag - EVGA! Keep it up and even better, if it is possible!

[randomdesign]

Cool to see the new Z790 getting out there for reviews. I was lucky enough to be able to buy one when they launched it during their overclocking stream and so far it's been fantastic.

[Xeonzs]

Very cool board, even though I don't care much for all the overclocking and tuning things, simply having all those cable management features and space optimizations makes it awesome

[oldtoby]

My very first build I bought an EVGA board off ebay in addition to 2x evga gcards brand new. The board was physically damaged on arrival and the good folks at EVGA made an exception for me and repaired it for me through rma. I will always remember their service and for that promote them positively.

[ElfGreatTree]

I really liked Jay's comments about the board plus the modern history of mobos, some of which Id missed because its been something like 15 years since I built a new machine~

(i went from an Opteron 1200 series to a Ryzen 5, its a hell of a leap...)

Id love to see EVGA making AMD mobos for AM5 and beyond...maybe something down in the lower price tiers so the average builder can get one....(with 3+ NVME slots pls)

[theftking]

I'd love to see EVGA make some non-enthusiast boards that compete with Asus Prime series. I'd happily pay an extra $30-$40 for an EVGA board in exchange for knowing that if anything goes wrong they'll take care of me, but as of now like... their boards all kinda give me an ultra-enthusiast vibe.

I don't know anything about the motherboard industry or supply chains, so it's conceivable that a company like EVGA simply cannot compete on price on more budget boards, but if it's at all possible I'd be stoked.
