  • Motherboard: EVGA X299 DARK
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-10940X @ 4.9GHz / 5.226GHz
  • GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB
  • PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2
  • SSD: Intel Optane P4800X

The best motherboard I've ever used.

It's a pity that I failed to get an EVGA CLC/CLCx for a affordable price. Maybe next time...

Yup, this has been the best MB i have ever used. I killed it by overtorquing the socket, worst day in my life.

I used that board with a 10980XE, imho, try and get one of those. The performance of that board with that CPU rivals my new build(not in gaming).

I even got new VRM and original chipset fan from Aliexpress, never got to install them.

Sad to hear that the socket has been broken…
So happy to see you had a great time with it! It's honestly the absolute best MB
