    I got this motherboard as an upgrade and what an upgrade it was! This board has mutiple ssd slots which makes adding storage easy and then its capable of high internet speeds as well which my old motherboard lacked. Not to mention the BIOS flashback button makes updating the BIOS even easier. And my top favorite part of the board is the Q-Code that makes troubleshooting a breeze! Would definitely recommend this board for anyone who wants a major upgrade.

    Hey, did you just read an amazing review of the 14900k and thought to yourself “man that guy has a point but which mother board did he go with”…well i went with this one and it’s awesome. Do you like fool proof instillations… this one. Do you like cool free stickers and a key chain…this one. Do you like RGB…this one kinda. It has lights that like do things when you take the time to set them, it has a button that i presume resets the bios i dunno I didn’t read the directions, alls i knows iz it plays my video games and it looks cool. AND it has built in WiFi, that will work….after you update the drivers, you can put some m.2 in it but I can’t cause i blew my extra money on the 14900k which i totally would recomend.

    Best Motherboard out there! I had to replace my MSI Z790 Pro-A-WIFI after the CPU Socket (Bens pins not even sure how that it possible) and 2 DIMM Slots were destroyed due to poorly made latches. Bye Bye MSI! But anyways this MotherBoard here worked right out of the box (Intel i7 14700KF) no bios update necessary (BIOS updated to April 2024). Performance is incredible and tons of options (BIOS) and Flashback BIOS and Clear CMOS buttons on I/O Panel are handy so you don't need to open your PC and mess with up potentially damaging something. Even the lights on the DIMM slots are more vibrant and gorgeous to look at. Of course it is equipped with a RTX 4090. Very happy and ecstatic with my purchase!

    I recently built a new PC and went with the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E motherboard — and wow, I’m impressed. Right out of the box, the quality feels premium, and setting it up was super smooth. It has everything I needed: DDR5 support (which makes a big difference in speed), tons of M.2 slots for storage, and built-in Wi-Fi 6E that works perfectly. I’m using it with a 14th Gen Intel i9, and the performance has been flawless — fast boots, no lag, and great temps even under stress. The RGB lighting looks awesome in my case, and the BIOS is very user-friendly. I also love how future-proof it feels, with PCIe 5.0 and all the latest tech built-in. If you’re building a high-performance PC, this board is totally worth it. It’s been super reliable so far, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone serious about gaming or heavy workloads.

    EXELLENT QUALITY MOTHERBOARD

    Overall, the board was a great selection. The startup issue in previous year problems in the bios were resolved. The board fits nicely in the Corsair 7000x ATX case. You have to research the board to make sure you put the M.2 into the correct location, or your video card lanes will be reduced. Also, the 1st slot for the M,2 is for 5.0 M,2. Not Generation 4. One thing I noticed about the Z790-3 Wi-Fi for the 13th Generation CPU's is the board has additional capacitors that are eliminated on the newer 14th generation boards. Was a nice addition for the thermal pads located on the plates for the M.2 drives. And also, the swing bolt brackets for the M.2 drives to hold them in place was a game changer over having to try to get that tiny screw in there. Well presented in the packaging. My son loved the key chain that was in the box. The board Lighting is great, and the board just looks beefy, and quality made. I Have had nothing but positive builds that last many years without problems with ASUS boards. Thats why I keep coming back. They last forever and even hold a re-sale value when it's time to upgrade. I Have tried other brands through the years, but the top-notch ASUS keeps on ticking. Will never buy another brand other than ASUS. There just Quality. Period. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Buy it! All our Houshold computers are ASUS Boards. Their quality and value are well worth the price!
