flanker Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I think, more realistic price is 499 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted May 9, 2020 Crew Share Posted May 9, 2020 wild guessing in between hero and formula so that would be around 550 euros at launch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted May 9, 2020 Crew Share Posted May 9, 2020 Great price too bad for us, Euros, with 45 USD shipping plus import taxes probably 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jab383 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That $399 is the sort of competition that will have an impact on the other manufacturers. It may be worth watching a while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed.fastest Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Here in Indonesia, Asus Maximus XII Hero (Wifi) is priced US$500 for pre order price. This price is ridiculous and i may stay on 1151 for longer than it should lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a promising looking board for sure. My biggest concern is BIOS ready for C14 action? as well as voltages being fully open or not. I would really enjoy a good memory-clocking board that doesn't break the bank. That would interest me too. Since Apex won't be directly avaiable at launch this one could be a cheaper option for time beeing. The Z390 Itx from MSI was pretty good at mem oc.

SparkysAdventure Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It seems the Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite is acceptable for mem oc. 4800 14-14 without much fuss, not bad at all for a $200 4-dimm board. I have heard someone mention they got 5000+, but I have not seen screenshots of that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted May 23, 2020 Crew Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yep seems Gigabyte have got a great board there too, think HiCookie already shown 5400 on fakebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted May 23, 2020 Crew Share Posted May 23, 2020 Well the board seems to be able to do it, so the limitation is the CPU IMC Looking forward to retail nrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@ro Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Well check the performance as well, some subs on 4 dimmers to hit 4800c14 are horrible, tcwl 18 and stuff like that.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! Also loose RTL (i.e. 65 65 14 15 etc ...) Still think 4 dimm might be interesting for full bank, sure the clocks won''t be there but I think the performance could be nice if tuned correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullant Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I thought the new Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite was looking pretty good, considering price and performance......it’s a board I’m considering buying Edited May 23, 2020 by Bullant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoTSkill Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Apex like always. Dark is pricy and usually EVGA boards have slow bios support to non existant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Z390, Apex was cheaper then Dark. Yes, Asus releases more BIOSes than EVGA, but both boards run great (I have both of them), so I don't see the relevance of release timing. Also, Vince is uploading XOC BIOSes periodically, so support is far from non existent. Moreover, EVGA warranty is international and covers OC while Asus not on both matters. Maybe Z490 Dark will be cheaper and available in Europe faster and wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I agree with you. We'll just wait and see how expensive it will be Yet, the problem with Z390 was the availability in Europe. Maybe EVGA will fix that from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_o/c Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 EVGA has always seemed to focus more on the US market, lots of availability problems in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince hasn't done 2D in years, will have to be someone else like Luumi. PR says the board has XP support tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashtan Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=131-CL-E499-KR 550 USD Evga Z490 Dark - versus 400USD for Apex XII. Dark is better? With ship to Europe and fees - easy to 650USD can up his cost. Apex right now on local markets and much cheaper without trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
