Great video, looking forward to my Z790-A and i9 14900K build. Wondering, what is the purpose of installing the black bracket at the beginning behind the cpu on the MB?
Thank you for the kind words. The black bracket is a mounting bracket for the all in one kraken cooler. The cooler screws to that bracket to keep it in place.
Not at all, they click in easy enough. Make sure you have them seated the correct way and the clip open and they will click right in with a-bit of pressure.
Flipping the PSU would be worse, the case has a vented side panel. I am awaiting some fans to come in stock then it's all going in a new case with a new cooler.
Yeah the only issue I had was the bios was flagging up saying no CPU fan installed as I use an AIO cooler so I just plugged one of the fans in the MB as I didn't trust disabling the monitoring for it.
How is the Ethernet port on this board? My z590 intel i225 was bad. Great video. Did you consider the Asus Z790-F ROG wifi II? This seems like the I version.
I would highly recommend updating bios. Mine did boot up fine with no issues without a bios update and that was on Februarys bios but I did update bios to latest version afew weeks back just to be safe. Really simple job, just make sure you have a USB stick and it's formatted to Fat 32 then just download the bios from the Asus website and then update in bios its a 10 min job max.
Did you get the XMP profile on RAM running? I bought the same setup some time ago, and it didn't boot after setting up XMP, needed to change RAM for different from G.Skill.
Sorry for the delay. Yes XMP is running fine with the Kingston DDR5 but I have heard a few people struggling with G Skill. Have you got the latest bios?
Mine runs around 60 idle. When streaming and running the full system flat out I set the cooling high and it doesn't see more than 80 but the systems keeps it 60-70 on average which is very good with the i9s because they run very hot which is why alot undervolt them.
@xNarniex humm, i have a i7 14700k, i think they also run on high temps as the i9s right? I still think the Nvme mounted close to the PCH may also impact temps.
With the current cooler I see no more that 80 Degrees Celsius in all my testing but I am awaiting more parts for my new case which will have a new cooler and better flow set up. Stay tuned for another build.
@@xNarniex i see , i will order the i7 14700k in february and looking at tests the max load went up to 100 degrees which is quite a lot ,would dark rock pro 4-5 be able to cool it down or is it worth water cooling anyway ?
The dark rock is a great cooler but also remember that's its not solely the cooler but also bare in mind case flow. The good thing with an aio cooler is it usually draws the direct air from outside the case thus cooling the radiator and water around over the block.
hi just wanted to ask you if i7 14700 k is good enough with rtx 4080 super at 1440p for gaming and some productivity and will xpg lancer rgb 32 gb 2x16 6400 mhz ddr5 cl32 work with asus rog strix z790 f gaming wifi 2 motherboard also its xmp profile
@@gavancorrigan8813 I am no expert but I wouldn't see why you would hit any bottle necks with a 4090 especially if you are running a 13/14 gen I9.

Hi, does 14th gen cpu works good with this "old" motherboard? Is it worth getting new motherboards with support for the new gen or does it make no sense and is it better to just update the BIOS on the old ones?
@@S3rvantMax Very true but I got a great deal on the 14th gen so for me it was a no brainer. If I was suggesting which one to buy I would say 13th gen to save the cash. Same can be said with GPU's also

It all depends on what you are aiming to achieve. Going to a 14900 and still having a 3090 will then flip the bottleneck but again other things like memory and hard drive may also hinder you. If you are playing 1080p you don't need to go crazy. A 13900 is more bang per buck.
Hold up. I know 14th gen is LGA1700.. but it booted just fine without bios update? I had a Rog strix z690-f and I had to update bios in order to have 13th gen work. I want to exchange this 13th for a new 14th.

Is the asus rog strix z790 F working good because im thinking of going with it but people say there can be problems with setup.
It’s absolutely spot on mate. No issues at all my end. I push it hard with 4k gaming, streaming and video encoding and it has been perfect.

@xNarniex my bad g, didnt see that the case was actually made like that. Apologies, looks sexy tho
Hello! Did it work directly for you without updating the bios? THANKS! 😬
Yeah the only issue I had was the bios was flagging up saying no CPU fan installed as I use an AIO cooler so I just plugged one of the fans in the MB as I didn't trust disabling the monitoring for it.
So it was no problem using gen14 cpu with that board?
@@twoeyejackNo problems at all and it's been running smoothly. It does have February's bios so I will update it today incase they tweaked something.
How is the Ethernet port on this board? My z590 intel i225 was bad.

Ethernet port works a charm. I stream so don't trust WiFi. Have not had any issues at all since building.
