it really doesn't work that way... there are only a handful mobos with z390 I'd trust with it

 

and even some z370's

 

and they're about the same price now anyways

Right, I see that's the case now.  Shows you how much I've looked in Intel's direction lately.

Right, EVGA used to have garbage support and now their support has gotten 10x better in that aspect. But the fact that they took a board that was basically obsolete and pretty old and gave me a new one back is where I was floored. 

I'd be curious how long ago this was.  I remember when EVGA was like, the off-brand video card maker in the 2000s.  They're way huge-r now with enough $ to support their product.  Not always the best product but the best warranty from what I've heard.
