The EVGA Z390 DARK is the first motherboard to feature both the 24-pin power connector alongside both 8-pin CPU power connectors on the side of the board. The Z390 DARK features a very friendly design for cable-management enthusiasts which includes the 90-degree CPU socket with memory slots running parallel to the top of the chassis. The entire VRM is cooled with a large passive heatsink that sits close to a standard case’s rear exhaust fan.
