I have a NIB EVGA Z690 Dark Kingpin, I bought it 7-30-2022. EVGA - Articles - EVGA-Z690-DARK-K|NGP|N

I never got around to building the system, and it's just setting on the shelf. PM if your interested.

The EVGA Dark is a MUCH BETTER motherboard than a Classified. Plus, it is also better because of only 2 DIMM slots. 4-DIMM motherboards suck for overclocking. I refuse to purchase 4-DIMM motherboards. They sucked for DDR4 and suck even worse for DDR5. EVGA Dark motherboards have always been the best motherboards that I have owned. For many years they put ASUS to shame.

From what I understand, Z790 Classified can do 7600 pretty reliably. Luumi said something about 7200 with 4 sticks in one of his videos, but that is hard to believe.
 
That's an awesome board, @townending @Braegnok !
I miss mine. I never should have sold it. The fear of losing EVGA support drove an irrational decision to replace it with an inferior ASUS Apex. When you own something made by ASUS, it is the near equivalent of having no support.
