My friend this was such a joy to watch. I don't understand why you don't have more likes or subscribers because you provide excellent content. You explained so much that I'll have to watch this over and over to make sure I understand it all. ASUS should hire you to produce their videos. Just an awesome job and thank you so very much for providing this excellent service. Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks for the kind words - glad that you found the video useful! Just doing my part to hopefully allow folks out there to make informed purchases when it comes to their new PC builds! Are you in the market for a new Intel PC at the moment?
It helped a lot. Thank you so much 😊
It helped a lot .thank you
really really detailed information! love the video! 10/10. I was researching into this board to see if this it would have a software installed or compatable to be installed, like Asus Aurora, on controlling ARGB since it has a 5v 3 pin connector? (so ive read, im not a pc nerd)
Great that you found the video useful! The board supports AURA SYNC, meaning to say indeed, you can control both 12V RGB and 5V addressable RGB devices via the ASUS Armoury Crate app, which you've gotta download from their website!
I'm a bit late to the party, but thank you for a very informative video!
Hey,
great video, this board has a BIOS Flash button, for bios upgrade without cpu or out of the box can i use a i5-13600K CPU ?
This board should support the 13600K right out of the box!
I need a good walk through of all settings on this mb bios. 🤔 if you know please send link. Thanks
What is between the 2260 and 2242 in m2 slot expansion. Is that the rubber pad? It’s in the way of me putting a crucial drive with heat sink in. Yours also looks crooked where mine is square on the board
Yeap it's a foam/rubber "cushion" for when you've got a long M.2 drive installed (e.g. a M.2 22110 form factor drive that measures 110mm in length). No issues to remove it as long as your SSD fits securely into the M.2 slot with the appropriate standoff installed on the right opening!
How is the performance of this board?
This may be a stupid question but I just want to be 100% sure before I purchase it for my first build. I know in the video you said it has a type-c front panel header, so that being said if I had a case that had a USB Type-c port on it, would i be able to plug that wire into that slot in order to make the USB-C slot on the case work? (sorry for the poor wording and grammar)
As long as your PC case has a front panel USB Type-C port, you will be able to hook up the said port to the front panel header on this motherboard.
On an added note, this board has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C front panel header - it'd be good to get a case that has a Gen 2 (instead of Gen 1) front panel connector so that you can maximise transfer speeds!
@@ALKtech Thank you for replying with this good information, thanks for the help.
Really Really good video you think this motherboard is super with a 13600kf?
Thanks! This board will do great with a 13600KF for sure!
Really great review, I love it. Is the Bluetooth already available on the board or do I need to plug in the wifi antenna first
Thanks for the kind words! You'll need to plug in the antenna first - the Bluetooth and WIFI for this board both share the same antenna!
@@ALKtech thanks!
@@ALKtech not true at all. I didn't plug in the WiFi antenna because I don't care about or need it and I definitely still have bluetooth available to me. I use my DualSense controller wirelessly on my computer via Bluetooth.
@@iRegGun9 is your PC very close to your controller? I've personally experienced situations where my Bluetooth connectivity improved significantly when the antenna was connected!
Excellent Video bro! Really loved it. One question, how is the motherboard? Is it good when paired with i7-13700k and ARC750? or I should go with Asus Tuf Gaming Plus Z790 (DDR5 + WIFI) - Tuf gaming costs bit more. My use are motion graphics + 3D. ( may do a bit overclocking) I am confused between this two. Hoping for your reply.
How big is the price difference between both boards? If you're intending to do a spot of overclocking, the TUF Gaming has a better VRM setup that would probably give you more headroom, plus it has a better audio and WIFI 6E...
@@ALKtech the price difference is around $60
@@ALKtech thank you so much for replying ❤️😃
@@alvialyeadin8317 happy to help. $60 is quite a big difference in price, if you're only intending to do slight overclocking, I'd suggest just sticking with the PRIME Z790-P. Just make sure that you've got a good CPU cooler (maybe a good 240mm AIO) so that you won't thermal throttle!
@@ALKtech Thank you, I have chosen a corsair h150 360mm AIO. Thank you
Thanks for the video, im planning on building 13600K and a whole white powerful built. already have a 3060ti i will change in one or two years. Basically wanted to go on a rog strix B760-A gaming wifi ddr5 (7800mhz) for gaming streaming AND advanced editing (would maybe look for a bit of overclocking) what would you advice me, the high level B760 or this entry level z790 ? what would be the best for me ? Or maybe another z790 ? my budget is around 300 for the motherboard.
I also intend to have 9 lian li fans in the build with the AIO which I think are RGB and no argb, would it be ok for connectivity ?
An asnwer would really help thank you !
If you're intending to overclock, you'll have to get a board powered by the Z790 chipset, as B760 boards do not officially support overclocking, so that'll make the Z790-P WIFI the default choice, which should handle a 13600K with a small amount of overclocking just fine.
That said, given the number of fans that you're intending to have, you'll definitely need to get a fan/RGB hub for sure - depending on the model of PC case that you're getting, some cases do come with such a fan/RGB hub preinstalled. Hope this info helps!
@@ALKtech Thank you so much man, as I maybe would get more into overclocking later, I guess I am gonna wait more and go for a rog strix z790-a gaming Wifi d5, I wouldn’t want to be block because of my motherboard. Yes, I will have two rgb hub since I believe the pack of three lian li fans come with it, I am getting lian li 011 mini Thank you again it helps a lot 🙏🏼
Definitely not a budget motherboard. I'd consider this high value/mid-range with no frills. You get DDR5 support, 3?(I think) M2 drive slots, although only one has a heat sink. I'm using this in my mid range PC build with the i7-13700K for gaming/streaming.
I'd say, budget in the context of there being a wide spectrum of Z790 boards, with this board in particular being on the cheaper side of the spectrum with less bells and whistles - but it still has the features that matter!
This board is for broke folks. In all aspects this board is perfect for me, I can still use my previous DDR4 memory, GPU and storage all the while having the room for future upgrades.
I have the same cpu and motherboard
@@LyraniaLotharlmao ddr5 isnt significant enough either way yet to go for
@@LyraniaLotharwhat exactly makes it for broke folks? What separates this board
WoW, Its Great Job You Did, For GCC Gamers Where to Buy Asus Prime Z790-P WIFI D4 Motherboard in Dubai, UAE ?
i have a hp nvidia Geforce gtx 1660 super 6g single fan graphics card will this motherboard be compatible with it ? & awesome video you got a sub
For sure - just to check, the card was pulled from a HP pre-built system? Graphics cards usually aren't proprietary and can be used in other PC systems, so you should be fine!
@@ALKtech yes sir it was thanks for the reply
Hi can you do a review on ASrock Z790 pro RS as compared to Asus's? Any thoughts about it budget mobo?
Great review video, 👍 from a fellow sgrean
Thanks! I can't seem to find the Z790 Pro RS in Sim Lim pricelists, nor on Lazada and Shopee though, so I can't really comment on it price-wise in SG...
That said, taking a quick glance through the specs on ASRock's website, both the Z790 Pro RS and the Z790-P WIFI are pretty similar overall, with the key difference being that the ASUS has on-board WIFI while the ASRock doesn't. The ASRock also has more M.2 slots and SATA ports and perhaps a fancier looking aesthetic with an integrated I/O shield cover and onboard RGB LEDs. Pricing wise, I'm gonna guess that the ASRock will be cheaper, seeing as the brand's modus operandi is to offer up attractive specs at much lower prices than the rest of the competition.
Are you intending to build a Raptor Lake PC with a more budget-friendly Z790 board?
@@ALKtech Yes, comparing both the mobo and happen to see your informative video :).
Building a i5-13600k PC, on a budget end with a ddr5 ram even though its not wise to make that decision now
@@newbnest actually, if you're not in a rush, why not wait till Jan 2023 when Intel's mid-range B760 and H770 chipsets drop, alongside other cheaper Raptor Lake CPUs? Things might get more interesting then from an assortment and value perspective!
Ive use this board for a zotac 4090 and i9 13000k. I just play casual and play on stock, hope ill be fine with this board
So how is it holding up
Great board except for that IO shield
What’s wrong with the IO Shield?
@@TonyCantShoot i thought newer boards had built in io shield so buying this one miffed me a bit when i found the shield . In my first ever build when i was 13 i had bent an io shield pin thingy which made it stick into a usb connection frying it
I ordered a ASUS PRIME Z790-P with a i5-13600KF 6P/12 + 8E 3.50GHz w 32gbs of dr5 and a 4070ti do you think I will run into any issues?
Looks like a good combo - you'll be fine!
what is crazy is this "Entry" board is the one used on the Cosair Vengence i8100 for $4,600. Seems crazy they would use a entry level mobo with such a high price tag as their premium PC that has been getting very fast reviews.
Well the PRIME Z790 is entry-level in the spectrum of Intel Z790 motherboards, where the Z790 is still a high-end chipset for Intel 13th Gen builds. This board still has features that matter in making sure high-end processors such as the 13900K can perform to their maximum potential. such as a beefier VRM setup. No surprises here that Corsair chose a board such as this over say, a ROG STRIX board that has more bells and whistles but would cost much more, and would drive the price of their PCs even higher...
But $4,600 is very expensive for a Pre-Build. You would think a better board would be in order. But it may just be me..Thanks for the reply.
@@MasterTheNEC yeah I get where you're coming from - I suppose Corsair's gotta find ways to make sure it earns a decent margin from its pre-builts...after factoring in the need for post-sales service such as warranty claims and so on!
@@ALKtech I ended up at Xidax and got the MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi instead.
Sir do you mean i can buy a 7200 mhz ram and use it on this board? coz i have the same board and im confuse because the label on the box says up to 7000
Yes you can! ASUS updated its website to reflect DDR5 7200 support: www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z790-p-wifi/techspec/
Hi. Is it possible to connect a Razer Core X (Thunderbolt 3) to this mainboard?
'Always confused with USB-C, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, …
Unfortunately not - you'd need a Thunderbolt 3 port and above to support the Core X, which this motherboard doesn't come with..
USB-C as a term broadly refers to a type of physical connector,. and has several different standards (e.g. USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 etc). The Thunderbolt standard utilises a USB-C connector, and can be considered one of the fastest transfer protocols that the USB Type-C connector design can support. Hope this explanation helps...
Hi, would you recommend running a 13700k / rtx4090 / 32gb ddr5 6000MHz combo for this motherboard (Prime Z790-P WiFi) ? No CPU overclocking intended, just XMP enabled for ram. Thanks :)
Yeah I think this combo will work great! As always, just make sure you've got good airflow for your case and a good CPU cooler for the 13700K!
@@ALKtech Thanks for your advice, much appreciated. Do you know anything about installing a gen4 NVMe on the M.2_1 port on this mobo will steal pcie lanes from the GPU mounted on the pcie gen5 x16 port? Should I rather install the NVMe on the M.2_2 or 3 Port wired through the chipset? Thanks :)
@@brucewillixaspirinix9652 this board doesn't have any of that shared bandwidth stuff that some higher-end Z790 boards would have - such boards have 1x PCIe 5.0 x4-capable M.2 slot that shares bandwidth with the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a graphics card. This is because the Z790 chipset doesn't have native support for a Gen5 M.2 slot!
Seeing as this ASUS board doesn't have a Gen5 capable M.2 slot, you can install your M.2 drive in any of the three slots without worrying about losing bandwidth!
@@ALKtech Thanks for the help and advice :))
Planning to put in an i5 13600k with a rx7900xtx. Do you think this board is enough or should i go for the MSI MPG Ddr5 instead?
Oh this board will be more than enough for a 13600K, do make sure that you've got a good CPU cooler to keep temperatures at bay! That said, the MSI board that you are referring to is the MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI? It's way more expensive that this PRIME board with more features...if you don't need those extra features, stick with the PRIME and save the cash for the other parts of your PC!
@@ALKtech I was referring to the MSI MPG Z790 Edge wifi D5, It’s pretty much the same aesthetically but the features are a lot more like more fan hubs etc, and i think i’m running 6 fans with a AIO so i’m pretty scared it won’t be enough. especially as later on i’ll look to upgrade CPU and maybe AIO to a 360 aswell. You think i should go for the EDGE ? or the prime is still good?
@@kalidnasser8317 got it. The MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI does have a better VRM setup, and I do think it looks much nicer than the PRIME as well, along with a better audio codec etc...I'm guessing it costs much more than the PRIME where you're from?
In any case, since you're intending to upgrade the CPU further down the road (I suspect 14th Gen will be on LGA1700 stil), the MSI might be a better choice from a specs and longevity perspective, but again, the price difference between both boards is something that would factor largely in my decision!
Buenas! Tengo una pregunta, esta motherboard es compatible con la ssd m.2 PCIe 5.0 x 4? Las que tienen 10k a 15k de lectura. Por favor respondan 🥺
This motherboard will work with PCIe 5.0 M.2 drives, however, do note that such drives will not be able to run at full PCIe 5.0 speeds, as the M.2 slots on this board support PCIe 4.0 speeds only - installing a PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD into a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot would mean that the SSD would operate at maximum PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds only. Hope this clarifies!
I have this board in my first pc build, exactly how bad is the audio chip compared to others for common use like gaming?
It's not bad bad per se, just a very common chip that has been around for several years and all low-end motherboards use this codec too. In all honesty, if you're not a big audiophile, I think the audio will do just fine...what kind of audio equipment will you be using? A gaming headset? 2.1 speaker setup?
you bypass the chip if u plug your headset to usb or bluetooth/wifi, it's only for usb jack that the chip is entry level
Getting a PC put together with the Prime Z790-P and the Intel i7 13700K CPU with the MSI RTX 3060Ti graphics card and im wondering if this setup will be fine for playing games like ATS, Call of Duty, Dishonoured and Doom. Im having second thoughts of having this system put together. Please let me know what you think.
Is there a reason why you've chosen the RTX 3060 Ti? The 13700K is a pretty powerful processor that I'd probably pair with at least a RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti to get the most gaming performance out of it!
needed a 2 fan GPU as the 3 fan will not fit in my case and its due to budget and coudlnt justify paying $600 for one here in Canada@@ALKtech
@@sbrodie08 ah I see..have you considered looking at the secondhand market? You might be able to find say, a dual fan RX 6700 XT or RX 6750 XT for hopefully a good price and some manufacturer warranty left!
What about ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II compatibility with this MB? Has anyone ever tested it?
I would have been able to let you know if I got the right motherboard shipped from Amazon. It did fit in rog strix z790d4. But I'm doing a ddr5 build so waiting to get the right one.
I have it with the 420mm version and it's works with it fine.
Friend, what processor would you recommend to put on prime ASUS Prime Z790-p WiFi ?
I'd probably look at a K-series processor, perhaps a 13600K or 13700K, or even Intel's upcoming 14th Gen K-series processors, seeing as the Z790 chipset supports overclocking. P.S. this board will support 14th Gen with a BIOS update!
Hii, will this be able to contain an RTX 4080/4070Ti and an Intel i9 12900K processor ?
Yup this board will work with those parts that you've mentioned!
I bought this to go along with my RTX 4080 and i9 13900k raptor lake. Since I put so much towards my GPU and CPU will I be okay with this motherboard. I just didn't see the massive difference between this and the Hero model.
I see, how's your CPU temps so far? I'm guessing you're using a 360mm AIO to cool the 13900K? Did you get any signs of thermal throttling while under load?
@@ALKtech I actually haven't got my pc back yet from the upgrades. So I haven't gotten to test it yet
@@Chunter95 ah gotcha. Would be interesting to see how your new upgrades fare when you get your PC back!
Does this board have a bios flash button anywhere?
This board doesn't come with the BIOS FlashBack/flash BIOS button feature!
NOTE: This video was published before 48GB DDR5 memory modules were available - according to the ASUS specs page, this motherboard now supports up to 192GB of RAM with 4x 48GB DDR5 memory modules. Also, this motherboard now supports Intel's 14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors with a BIOS update available for download from ASUS's website!
Check out the written article version of this motherboard's review here: www.alktech.co/articles/review-asus-prime-z790-p-wifi-lga1700-motherboard
Regarding maxing out the RAM:
I just took delivery of a CyberPowerPC, that I purchased from Best Buy (Black Friday sale), that has this Z790-P motherboard.
It came with two 32GB RAM sticks (64GB, total).
According to Best Buy's listing, the maximum RAM supported is 128GB, which I was planning to install (via two more 32GB RAM sticks).
But your comment conveys that I should be able to run this motherboard with 192GB of RAM.
How can I verify that my motherboard is capable of 192GB of RAM?
Can I assume that all Z790-P motherboards are compatible? Or do I have to check for a certain version or release associated with my motherboard?
Any information you can provide would be appreciated.
Also, great video!
I learned more about my motherboard than what is in the manual or on any web sites that I checked.
@@NoEgg4u I suspect it's because Best Buy forgot to update it's specs sheet 😅 you can refer to ASUS's QVL list here regarding memory support: www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z790-p-wifi/helpdesk_qvl_memory?model2Name=PRIME-Z790-P-WIFI
Going by what's in the list above, it seems like this board supports Corsair's 4x48GB DDR5 5200 modules. You do give up speed for capacity though, and I must caveat at larger memory capacities, compatibility (at least from my experience) tends to become a bit of a hit-or-miss at times...
hey i have a 4070ti and im looking to buy i7 13700kf. Is this a good motherboard for the job? i found it for 250$
Yeap this board should handle the 13700KF just fine I'd think!
I just picked this up last week at Micro Center in a bundle. I7 13700k, 32Gb 6000 DDR5 and the z790 for $550. Only issue I had with it was that it didn't have the install DVD and I couldn't install the drivers off USB. My Win 10 flash drive was too out of date and couldn't install the drivers until it was updated and the network adapter would not work without drivers. Ended up having to make a new Win 10 install drive.
That's odd, I'd think that even early copies of Windows 10 should at least have some form of generic USB 2.0 driver support that would allow you to install drivers via a USB flash drive, after the initial Windows 10 install has been completed!
I literally just bought the same bundle at Micro Cente. Hope it works out 🤙

Glad you liked the video - and looks like I gotta do a review video for the screwdriver soon, you're not the only one asking about it 😂It's a Xiaomi Electric Precision Screwdriver - you can look for it on Amazon, I saw it being sold for US$44.98!
That said, yes, the metal panel is what's called a heatsink, and you will indeed install the M.2 drive first, and thereafter put the heatsink on top, and secure it by screwing it down. The purpose of the heatsink is to keep the M.2 drive cool!
@@ALKtech Ah okay thanks that makes sense I appreciate you :)
Is there a version of the same model with ddr 4 ?
Yeah, ASUS makes a DDR4 variant of this board called the PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4!
I am about to buy the I-7 13700k, 6000hz ddr5,and a motherboard would get the Asus Prime a over p. But, I'm not sold on this vs Ryzen. I am 75 percent, and upgrading from a 6800k, ddr 3 ram, while playing games on a 3080 and oled tv. Any advice? What would you do?
I take it that you'll be reusing the 3080 for your new build? Personally, and especially with AMD's recent CPU price cuts that seem to be holding still post-Black Friday, I find myself to be a little more inclined towards the AM5 platform, as it'll likely be supported for several generations (hopefully) of new Ryzen processors in the future, plus AM5 chipsets such as the X670E and B650E have native PCIe 5.0 for both the graphics card and M.2 slots. Just my two cents!
@@ALKtech ok thanks.
Even the i5-13600K outperforms some of the top Ryzen chipsets so the i7 13700K with 6000 MHZ DDR5 will chew through most applications without breaking a sweat. I'm personally using this board with the 13700K and 6000MHZ DDR5 (32GB 2x16) for gaming and streaming. I don't use AMD products, too many failures, driver issues, and poor quality control. I've never had an Intel or NVidia product fail on me in 20+ years of PC builds.
I went with 13600kf with this mobo and a G-skill trident z5 6000mhz cl36 rams .i don't have issues at all using Rtx 3080 in an Oled CX 55 inch . No need bios update for the mobo.
@@ajm872000 i used both, from 35 years on intel, and last years with AMD. Both are pretty good brands, and never got any failure or other issues with my last 5800X3D, never. And not only do I play or stream with it, but I work on a big professional 3D video software, I've never had a problem! It is not correct to assert and peddle nonsense such as saying that AMD has problems without explaining which ones are specific to them.
Is this board good for slight oc on 13700k?🤔
It'll handle a 13700K with a slight OC just fine I'd think!
I just ordered a i9 13900ks Z790-P prime and a h170i elite cappelix , i will have some problem with this mother board?
You'll get by, though I personally would have gone for a higher-end board with a better VRM configuration, perhaps something from the ROG STRIX series and above. That said, I haven't had the chance to test this board with a 13900KS, so take my opinions with a pinch of salt! The Corsair AIO should do fine cooling the 13900KS I'd think...do share how your experience is like with this combo!

Is there a reset button on this motherboard I cannot find any button or information on how to reset this motherboard. I’m having an issue where in the middle of a game my pc will just black screen randomly and the pc will stay on and my gpu fans will start spinning at 100%. I have a 4080 and I was told to try resetting my motherboard so any help would be greatly appreciated
There isn't a reset button on this board - you might wanna try clearing the CMOS by removing the CMOS battery (with the PC powered off and unplugged from the mains), and leave the PC be for a few minutes, before replacing the battery and powering it up again. You should find that the BIOS will be reset - simply restore your usual settings (XMP for memory, enable Resizable BAR etc), and hopefully the issue will go away. If this doesn't work, I suspect you might have a hardware issue!

This board (PRIME Z790-P WIFI) doesn't support DDR4, you'll need to get the DDR4-specific version which is the "PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4" instead!
Does this mother board have qled?
It has Q-LED CORE, where your PC case's power LED will double up as the LED indicator to help with the diagnosis of any boot-up issues. Hope this helps!
will this support 14th gen?
It absolutely will, though you might need to do a BIOS update especially if you're buying older stock that came shipped with an earlier BIOS revision!
which one do you think is better msı pro z790p wifi ddr5 and asus prime z790p wifi ddr 5 ?
Both boards are fairly similar, though the MSI does come with WIFI 6E and has an Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet chip (versus WIFI 6 and Realtek 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet for the ASUS). For me, it'll boil down to pricing, is there a price difference between both boards where you're from?
there is no price difference and i am from turkey
@@halilibrahim6090 I see. I would probably go with the MSI for its better WIFI - my two cents!
but my other parts are asus
@@halilibrahim6090 there won't be any issues with compatibility if you use a MSI board. But that said, if you're keen to "match" the components of your PC to be from the same brand, going the ASUS route won't hurt since the spec differences between the ASUS and MSI aren't that large.
Is this a high end motherboard?
It has a high-end chipset, but with a more budget-oriented set of features. If you're looking for a high-end board within ASUS's line-up, you should be looking at minimally the ROG STRIX series and above!
I have a pc with this monitor paired with RTX 4090 and i9-13900K
Sounds like a beast of a build for 4K gaming!
Nah I hope companies keep or keep making the dvd thing. It’s actually so much more helpful
I suppose it'll come in useful for instances where one might not have internet access for whatever reason!
Crazy how this board seems to cost 320-380€ since it's one of the only Z790 motherboards available globally.
All thanks to inflation too I guess - now that Intel's H770 and B760 boards are available on market too, such boards could serve up better value/pricing depending on your budget and use case!
320-380€? I bought this board 2 months ago for 290€
@@APARAT79 Yeah, at least in europe inflation took place for months in DDR5 motherboards. I'm lucky I could get one at 300. Now when I checked the prices have deflated to 284€...

Does it support 4K 120fps ???
It will if you've got a powerful processor paired with a powerful graphics card! Perhaps say, a 13900K with a RTX 4090..
I just placed an order for a custom pc using this motherboard. I don't know a lot about pcs so fingers crossed. Lol.
I think you'll be fine, so long as you're purchasing from a system builder that knows what they're doing! What processor and graphics card does your new PC come with?
It support widows11
Or no❤
Yes it does support Windows 11!
is this ddr4 or ddr5?
This is a DDR5 board!
A friend just gave me this for fixing his ps5 & I had no idea until this video 😭😭 my current setup is the og i52500 😭😭😭😭😭
What a gift! What processor and graphics card are you planning on using with your new toy?
@@ALKtech either a 12gen i5 or i7 & I have the Intel Arc a770 16gb card. My home cpu is mainly for music production & lite coding so it’s cool for a start lol
Where are the lights on this mobo
This motherboard doesn't come with built-in RGB LEDs unfortunately, if that's what you're referring to!
Can I install windows 11 on it out of the box?
Just to clarify, you'd need to have a processor, RAM, storage drive and a graphics card installed together with this board (along with a power supply and PC case of course) for you to be able to install Windows 11 - was this what you meant?
Why no ASUS logo sticker with this card ?
ASUS only includes the sticker sheets with its TUF Gaming and ROG series of motherboards! The PRIME series is more value-oriented and hence does away with these nice-to-haves...
Where do I get 4 cable and 8 cable for this motherboard? Wtf
Its for the ATX_12 and ATX_12_2 power input thats shown at 3:22
@@Toiarc your power supply should come with at least one 8-pin CPU power cable, which has an 8-pin connector that can be split into two 4-pin connectors. High-end power supplies usually come with two 8-pin CPU power cables...
You'll need to connect at least the 8-pin power cable from your power supply to the motherboard in order to power your PC up - the ATX_12V_2 4-pin connector is optional if you're using a lower-end CPU. Hope this helps!
This motherboard not support 4 sticks of ddr5. it's only works 2 sticks of ddr5 ram.
What is csm version
CSM=Corporate Stable Model. It's a feature that's targeted primarily at business/enterprise users where ASUS includes its Control Center app for stuff like remote PC management, software deployment and the like. If you're using this board for a PC at home, there's no need to get the CSM variant of this board!
@@ALKtech then which is the perfect for home pc. I want to have 13600k ,ddr5 ram and pcei 5 support.. preferably z series
@@TRENDINGTECHSCHANNEL Yeah actually this board would be perfectly fine with a 13600K. In some markets, ASUS may only sell the CSM variant, but if the non-CSM and CSM versions are available in your country, I'd save the money and get the non-CSM version of the Z790-P WIFI!
z690 is trash, never buy one, only z790 due to when the new atx and nvme 5.0 specs come out soon with 14k speeds the z690 will not work and be total waste of cash if you want pci 5.0 usage coming this year, z790 is the only buy right now, any older is total waste for future upgrades for those that will want the next gen drives and stuff in the next couple months
Don't buy it have Al 897 or entry level sound ...how I can explain ...buy with 1200 or 1220 only this sound from this MB suck just suck and suck Badly
for a professional sound designer perhaps, explain why ?
For almost guys, gamers, and others that just use you tube to play music or other simple application is this important ? I'd like to know.
what would you recommend then if i would put a 13900k on it ? i dont want to go crazy in spending for a motherboard but i want a z790 in my build
Personally, if I'm going for a 13900K, I'd probably get a mid-to-high-end DDR5 board; if we're talking about ASUS, their ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING comes to mind. For other brands, perhaps something from the AORUS series at least (for Gigabyte) or the MPG/MAG series (for MSI)!
@ALKtech ive seen z690 is pretty similar to z790 (and way cheaper) and it has ddr5 on it..hmm
Yeap! You did mention that you wanted a Z790 in your new build though - if you are open to Z690 while they're still available new, I'd go for a Z690+DDR5 board instead. The Z690 and Z790 chipsets indeed have minimal differences after all, key differences being the amount of USB 3.2 and PCIe 4.0 lanes, which doesn't really translate into significant value when it comes to motherboard specs. If you can score a Z690 board on the cheap, I don't see why not!
Do note though, that you might be faced with the minor inconvenience of needing to update the Z690 board's BIOS with a 12th Gen CPU first, before being able to use a 13900K! Of course, if the board has a feature that allows BIOS updates without needing to install a CPU/RAM/graphics card, that would save some hassle...
@@ALKtech thank you for the advice
@@ALKtech what about a 13700k on a asus prime z790 A? Is the MB good enough?
