EVGA Z590 DARK BIOS Overview & Overclocking Guide

[@RngmonsterX]

Your videos are awesome Luumi! I have finally managed to run my 10900kf with an 5.5GHz ALL DAY OC on all cores (1.38v), now i'm trying to get a 5.7GHz All Core CPU-Z Validation on my normal custom loop. You inspired me to go for big overclocking numbers! Keep up the awesome content dude!

[@Thomas_Aslaksen]

Love the sound of all of your fans. Thanks you for the good content. Keep up the good work.

[@brettkoski]

Thanks for the video! I'm messing around with my 10900KF today on the Z590 Dark and this helped tremendously!

[@mylittlepwny3447]

Finally got one ordered today! Cant wait! My wallet is crying knowing both X570 Dark and Z690 Dark are coming before the end of the year!

what spot were you in the evga queue?

[@mylittlepwny3447]

@@fireroc2 no idea. Had a contact in evga reinstate my notification as I missed it when it arrived due to being on vacation.

Great video!

[@LadiesmanAchmed]

Thank you for the video. It is hard to find any pictures of EVGA boards, let alone full video descriptions. keep it up 👍

[@eeraa]

that was an awesome oc

[@andrewtillery]

Very well done sir.

[@Grechieman]

Absolutely awesome, love these vids you make on EVGA motherboards Luumi, very informative and helpful, I reckon I have probably watched them a ridiculous amount of times over now, and thanks to your advice, I was able to push my 11900k all core of 52x102BCLK @ 1.480v (1.460v in windows and CBr23 load) with -75% droop on my EVGA Z590 FTW, ... it pushed my 3600 memory kit in Gear 1 to 3808, but I had to move up to 1.480v (DRAM) but I got 14-18-18-35-1 working in memtest86+... I hate to ask, but is the following safe for 24/7? I only game, don't do anything else. CPU 1.480v (1.460v windows with -75% droop) 75-80c max for CPU CBR23 on EVGA CLC360 VSA 1.30v (set manually) VCCIO AUX 1.250v (set manually) DRAM 1.480v (set manually and 1.530v is the actual displayed voltage) Keep up the awesome content, cheers!

Great guide. Thanks. Quick question, I just got this board but can't find any options to adjust the fan speeds and they're running very high all the time. Do you know ow how to tweak the fan curve with this thing? EDIT. Never mind. Figure it out. Shame for such an expensive mini thst you can't make a proper fan curve.

[@mron0903]

always posting great content! any links for those RAM heatsinks? Or recommendations?

[@lostalx]

Great video, always learn something from your videos. Thank you. Also a small question on the small VRM fans, were they running ? Those small ones which EVGA put on this Z590, apparently even the X570 will have the same since they are 1:1 in identical design. If this board didn't run those VRM fans and kept that temps, fantastic board for money. Esp the fact it has 10 layer PCB design over Apex's 6 layer. Also more long life on those VRM fans. Excuse me, I don't want to sound like a tape but please kindly find some time if you can for Win7 on this board. I'm a bit jumbled on the X570 Crosshair Dark Hero or EVGA X570 DARK or Z590 DARK but if this works EVGA X570 DARK will also work. Just a small info, not sure if you know or not, all new mobos on X570S refresh from MSI / ASUS (ACE Max, Crosshair VIII Extreme) all use ALC408x RealTek Audio codec GB Aorus X570S Master does use ALC1220 only thankfully and I cannot find any Windows 7 related info on those new chips plus they are USB not HDA audio AND they also have a ton of issues, even Apex XIII has that codec and I saw a few posts mentioning audio issues with that audio chip and it's drivers. Thanks again. Edit - I forgot to mention, RPCS3 the best PS3 Emulator uses AVX512. That would be best to test out the AVX512 performance if using 11900K on this board.

19:07 I have noticed this or something similar on my Asus max 13 Hero / 11900K? I'm not sure ifbits exactly what you are mentioning but it seems like the cpu ignores my set vcore & just gives what it thinks it needs. I'm fully aware of the preprogranmed VF curve but it seems to exceed that. Unfortunately I have to use Per Core overclock method, the asus mobo doesn't have override. Unless manual is the same but I haven't tried it yet on this board. Later at 23:08 you said it didn't go up cause you are using a manual override? But you can't use seperate or multiple ratios in manual/override mode right? I want a true per core overclock since on RL each core has its own discrete PLL. I don't think this is possible in manual mode but IDK

[@Metalhead-4life]

Sorry for the double comment but I have another question. I want to upgrade my bdie 3600 cas16 4x8gb ram kit but I know anything higher will require me to use gear 2. What 2x16gb kit should I shoot for to see an improvement in ram? I was considering a dominator kit but the fastest kit is 4000mhz c18 and I'm not sure if it would potentially overclock enough to justify upgrading & using gear 2? If not I suppose I could just use gear 1 w/ tight timings on the new kit. Or should I shoot for a 4400-4800mhz kit instead? For reference my current 4x8gb trident z rgb kit can do 3600 15 16 16 35 288 gear 1 (probably cause it's a 4 stick kit). It's over 6 years old.

The best!

[@fabriciocalil4569]

Hello, how to change z590 dark logo at boot ? i have a samsung G9 monitor so i shows very big and low res

[@Csavez79]

The r23 is not running down what? ;)

[@cybergift56]

I think Ur name Here on KZbin Should Be : Mr Beast! 😈❤️😁🔥

[@deeeezel]

thats strange, my 11900 ring can run 5ghz easily at with SA 1.325 and auto vccio

[@sneedsneed460]

Love the board, but I'd rather wait for Alder/Raptor Lake to spend that much on a board

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

wouldnt you get a z690 by then

[@mikkelsmikkel8070]

RGB on a DARK is bullshit, I dislike it.
