Also, both the 2.5G LAN and Wi-Fi 6E are both Killer NICs. It's one of the few motherboards that support "DoubleShot Pro". It's a Killer branded software that will combine both connections into one. Therefore, you get 2.5G plus 2.4G for 4.9G total bandwidth. It will also choose which connection is the fastest for gaming, etc. The software lets you customize it as well. Very cool features! This and the 24+1+2 power delivery are some of the key features that make this board the best Z790 high-end value board out there. The Nova is a close second, but doesn't have DoubleShot Pro support. You need two devices on the supported list, not just one and whatever.
Regarding Asrock z790 Taichi lite , identical to yours, where in the mobo's headings can I connect my Arctic 360 AIO. After several conflicting opinions in the internet, I would like to know yours as you are truly an authority in the matter. Love your beautiful city!
Hi Gerry T, welcome to my channel and thank you for your valuable feedback. I do know that Arctic LF2 has only one connector which controls all these, the pump, the vrm fan and the radiator fans, I normally will remove the radiator fans which is connected at the 4pin pwm connector just below the radiator hose. On the AIO pump, I will connect the 4pin pwm connector to CPU_FAN2/W_Pump (2A) and the radiator fans which was separated to CPU_FAN (1A), this way is to ensure that there are enough ampere going to 1) the pump and vrm fan and 2) the radiator fans. Most of the time when I do this. I get better thermal results this way as I set the pump and vrm fan in UEFI to PWM mode at full speed. As for the radiator fans, I will set to PWM mode and to performance profile.
Great detail! Love the review! I would add that the yellow "Lightning Gaming" ports are designed to lower input latency from your keyboard and mouse. Therefore, use those two instead of the black.

A fantastic review, which I am looking for. You've given details and in-indepth explanation of what this board can do. I wish other reviewers will follow your standard, which is good for us consumers. The price of this board is expensive but after watching, I am going to get one. Thank you kleo for the effort and your energy is countless. Keep it up with your good work. 😍
Incredible board. I love that your favourite feature of the Advanced setup was the coloured logo in the background... lol. But seriously, this board has so many extra feature that I would never need, and yet the one feature that I would like to have is an external BIOS Flashback button. (Just as you mentioned). The Reset and On button on the motherboard seem odd. Mostly the board is going to be inside a case and they will not be reachable. But using one as a BIOS Flashback would make much more sense.
Hi Julie Fisher, welcome back. How have you been. It’s good to see you again and yup, this board is a content creator’s dream with its features. You are right too as I am thinking the same. It make sense if there is a flashback bios button. As for the rest and start button. This will be good for overclockers doing LN2 overclocking in and open bench. One again thank you for your feedback 👍
Cheapest board that isn't mini sized that has built in 2 thunderbolt ports. Now that I have seen I can use a hotkey for legacy mode to disable e cores on the fly, this is the perfect motherboard for me. Will also be doing audio and video production, and apparently these boards have great (i.e. very low) DPC latency, which is crucial for my workflow. Excellent! So far it's looking as: Intel 14700K Nvidia RTX 4080s 1000W Gold PSU (Silverstone DA1000) 1500VA True Sine wave UPS 64GB DDR 5 @ 6000 MHZ (really good compromise on price vs performance). 2x2TB 990 Pro SSD with heatsink 1x4TB XPG 4TB NVME SSD with heatsink (tlc model with high TBW). Shadow Base 800FX eATX case in black 8 total light wings 140mm fan 360 or 420 AIO, mounting in front or on top still to be decided, and which model to buy still a TBA. This is where the stall is, as I can't decide on a cooler. It's not that easy to simply find the best AIO cooler currently on the market. I have watched so many hours of reviews and most are just in a terrible format with useless info. I don't need to overclock, but I want to be able to run all cores at factory turbo speeds of the 14700K without any thermal throttle in Cinebench sustained. I will be audio editing AND video editing. Win 11 Pro The Thermalright CPU Contact Frame to improve a few degrees of cooling again One final decision still to be made is also regards to cooler, whether to just maybe use AIR (Corsair A115) + Liquid Metal + Contact Frame instead of AIO. Everything else is locked in, so if anyone has any advice on coolers, please let me know. So far the one I am leaning towards is the Lian Li Galahad 360 for Liquid, or Corsair 115 for Air as it is performing really well with Intel CPU. The only other bummer is I really wanted an internal BDRW drive but it's so hard to find a good case that still has a 5.25 slot, so I gave up on that. This should be a really good compromise gaming/audio/video workhorse. I am on a 1440P G-Sync (real module) monitor and 4080 is absolutely fine for years to come at 1440P.
Hi Teddy M, welcome to my channel and thank you for sharing your experience. Yes this board will be good for video editors which the advantage of the 2 x Thunderbolt pot. now as for cooling they system you have. I would still do an offset to -100. you wont suffere much from performance and it wtill still run rock stable. As for power limit, you can leave it as it is or to set default 253watts. for liquid AIO I personally will go with performance. these will be my choice of liquid AIO which I've tested. Lian Li GA II LCD 280 with push pull configuration as for 360, I will go for Deepcool LT720 , Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 or even the EK nucleus 360. A personal reason why I have pick these AIOs as they have proven for their durability, especially Arctic and EK. I have not tried Aircooling so can't really comment in this aera. For a case that carter a 5.25slot. I have no experience on this, so again I can't comment. sorry.
Hi Alex's Letsplayz, welcome to my channel. It happened to me on the X570 Taichi and what I did is to reseat the CPU and to clean CMOS. www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=Debug , if that doesn't work, you might want to refresh your bios using the bios flashback and not through the UEFI/BIOS.
Great review Kleo 👍Slightly better spec than the Strix Z790-F Gaming review you did recently, looks a good platform to build on. I have noticed that on the Z790 chipset boards when you use the Gen5 M.2 slot the primary PCIe slot for the GPU always drops down to x8 from x16. If your mostly gaming is it better to use M.2 Gen5 and the GPU at x8 or M.2 Gen4 and the GPU at x16?
Hi Wayne, welcome back. To be honest, you will only feel slight difference in load time if you use a Gen 5 m.2 with a GPU that runs at 8x. GPU performance you won’t feel the difference. I will only recommend to do this if you need to work with video editing and compilation. If only for gaming or doing 3D rendering. Gen 4 m.2 with a GPU at 16x will be of a better setup. I do believe in future, a better architecture to run m.2 on gen 5 with the GPU at 16x. The only concern is the heat, which might need active cooling on the armour shield for the m.2 and maybe an active fan to cool the PCIe slot too.
Hey Kleo ! thanks for that detailed review - love it ! i do have one question tho and maybe you could help me out - i updated the bios to 5.13 but since then - my boot time increased up to 40 seconds from a cold start to windows, stopped with a timer. Even the "ultrafast" option didn't bring any difference. do you know what could cause the issue for the extended boot time ? sadly i didn't measure the boot time before the update - but it felt way faster than now
Hi Naiden, welcome to my channel. I like to check which memory ddr5 kit did you use? If your ddr5 kit is above 32G. It could be the ram training which is taken up the time to boot. Maybe try clearing the cmos and to reconfigure the settings on UEFI. If that does not work, you might need to approach ASRock at their reddit forum www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/, thank you!
@@KleoYan thank you for your answer ! :) i do have 64 GB ram corsair (CMT64GX5M2B6800C40) i already did the bios to default but it didn't change anything
@@Naiden7 hmm, how long does it take to boot up to windows. for me it takes about 45 seconds on my X650M MSI Mortar with the 32G Kit from Teamgroup. as for 64GB it will take approximately 1 minute 15 or 20 seconds. Thats what I've experience. If it takes even longer, you might want to appoarch ASRock reddit forum, where their might be someone experiencing the same boot time as yours. Also there might be a solution from other PC Builders at that forum. I am so sorry that I have no other clues to aid you.

*Sir an offtopic question , I hope you will answer , I was using MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard for past few years but recently my motherboard died and RMA has been rejected by MSI for severe burn after overclock.

Hi YKR, welcome to my channel. I am not able to answer your questions as I do not have any gigabyte boards to fiddle with or to test with. I will like to advise you, if you do get a new replacement, you should undervolting with PBO 2 settings + offset of vcore which able to yield even better performance and at lower wattage (lesser heat) as to default or to overclock it. I personally don't think is worth doing overclocking which draws more power, generating more heat and to get that little level of performance.
@@YKR3 I don't think I can adivse you on this as most boards I play with are of mid tier boards, I don't go cheap on mobo due to prolong life reasons. If you don't mind mid tier which are of 200 to 300 USD, the MSI B550M Mortar is a good board.
@@YKR3 your best bet will be Gigabyte as the model you have mentioned, it comes with wifi as for ASRock will be the B550 or B550M Steel legend. but both do not have wifi, which you will need to purchase separately.
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me clarify the dimensions. The Asrock site says 30.5 cm x 26.7 cm - but which is the width and which is the height? I'm interested in using it in a NZXT H5 Flow which states a maximum motherboard width of 27.7cm. Thanks for your help
Hi bilbs87, welcome to my channel. the measurements are at timestamp 2:08 which I have measured. if ASRock spec is 30.5cm x 26.7 cm the 30.5cm is the height and 26.7cm is the width. To make things clear on the width .. from motherboard 24pin socket to the rear I/O is 26.7 cm.
