- A: AnswerThis board only has 3 PCI sockets available. One PCIe 5.0 x16 and two PCIe 4.0 x16 (with a 4x mode available.) I got that information off the owners manual for the board, you should be able to grab it from ASUS's website as well to verify anything else. I also did only see those three slots when building with it, so wherever it listed 5 was incorrect. For what it's worth, the board does have 5 M.2 expansion slots. Not sure if that number was incorrect used for PCIe slot count.

Strix z790-e gaming wifi
this is the latest build that i did but encountered so much on it. i dont know if its an old stock but i had to flash the bios first even before i can install windows on it. second, drivers arent auto install while installing windows so i had to download manually. third, from a 64gb ddr5 max rams at 128gb but never boot. had to run 1 ram at a2 slot then disabling mrc fast boot at bios just for it to load 128gb.

Still tinkering
First glance the ascetics are phenomal performance is absolutely unbound with this board its an ATX that was matched with a 4080 overclocked and i9-13900K makes sure if you do go with this build absolutely go with a full sized chasis! Overall expansion on this bord is that it has the space / ports for everything Thunderbolt usb-c ports living up to expectations as well love the board

Attractive design, great product
This is a great motherboard. Goes well with my full ROG Strix build. Instructions are excellent compared to competitors (such as Gigabyte). ASUS exceeded expectations yet again with this one. The RGBs on the motherboard can also be controlled by iCUE which was a huge +++ for me.
