The algorithm needs to be better because people like you who actually put effort into videos are left in the dust by RUclips even though they deserve way more than the bigger ones hope you get big someday once RUclips gets it together.
Thank you so much! That means the world to me.
Planning to install, been waiting for nzxt's z790, thank you for the first unboxing, very helpful, keep it up man
Glad I could help, will do!
Do you plan to review it's performance? The BIOS options, coil whine, benchmarks compared to other similar ones.
This will be primarily for use in builds, but I could always look at it in the future. I'm still working out my testing methodology for motherboards though.
Great review, video editing, setup! keep up the great work! you've got my sub and like for more videos like this.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it that!
I've been looking into this board - Should I avoid RGB Memory due to the issues with CAM Control or is it worth having to manage two different pieces of software?
I mean if you don't change it every five minutes, it's worth having two I think.
Thank you for this first-look review - I've been using NZXT boards since the very first N7 Z370 - planning to upgrade to this one in a next few months.
Btw - I stumbled across your channel accidentally, and I must say that I really like your review style - straight to the point, not too brief and not too long, and, most importantly, no stupid cringe s*it like many other reviewers are doing these days just to squeeze out some extra likes from stupid teens. I very much prefere channels like yours - thnak you for keeping up your standarts and quality of videos! Cheers, mate!
You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words. I did debate things like that a while back but thought I'd stick to my guns and stay with my usual style, so I'm glad it's enjoyed!
@@jordanash It indeed is enjoyed - as I said in my comment above, watching reviews like this brings back some hope that maybe RUclips these days is not an absolute pile of garbage, and there are still some decent reviewers out there. Once again thanks for the quality content, best of luck to you and your channel!
Sorry only just seen this. Thank you very much, thank you for watching!
Quality video mate!
Most of the time I just check random videos from different pc components and can't linger for so long, but this time somehow your showcase really kept me! Glad I clicked!
Things I love to see! Thank you
Could i put some cooling pads on the M2 slots where its missing the cooling pads? I got 2 980 pro NVMe SSD's that i think cant work at their best without some cooling.
Also do you think that this motherboard will work well on a 13900ks CPU, 64GB DDR5 6200MHz ram?
Yeah I don't see why not, I think there's enough space.
As long as you have a good cooler and some airflow around the VRM, I don't see why not.
@@jordanash Thank you. What thickness thermal pads do you recommend?
I can check but I bought a selection on amazon for $/£6, had loads of different thicknesses
@@jordanash Im gonna try a 2mm one.
Good luck
I found in a retail website shows the z790 hdmi 2.1 only can support resolution up to 4K 60hz. Is this true?
That sounds about right, but you'd be using a GPU which would support more anyway. I'd only use the onboard for troubleshooting if you have a supporting processor.
I have an H7 Flow case I just bought as the start of building my own pc and was wondering if this N7 Z790 Motherboard will fit the case? I seen on NZXT's website that the RAM accepted is DDR5 at speeds of 6000MHZ and up to 128GB of memory, have you been able to confirm which DDR5 brand works best under 128GB? I'm also looking to make mine with RGB lighting and was looking at the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 64gb ddr5 6000mhz c40 RAM but getting 2 sets of these cards to max out my RAM at 128gb. I have a Razer Tomahawk Gaming Desktop that I maxed out with 64GB of RAM it can barely handle my 4k 60Fps Content that I make even with my Invidia GeForce RTX-3080 FE Graphics Card. So I figured I try something with more power.
I'm using this in the H7 Flow in a build soon, it fits no problem. In terms of 128gb memory, G-skill, Corsair and Kingston are all quality, you shouldn't have any issues.
@Jordan Ash sounds awesome thank you so much! I can't wait to see your next video. I'm learning so much from you and it's because of the way you explain things. Greatly appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad, that means a lot to me, thank you.
@@jordanash can it run g skill 6400 32-39 stable ?
Are we able to use regular 5v 3 pin RGB in the NZXT RGB connectors? Is there an adaptor or something? Thanks
No, that's just for the NZXT devices that have that header. There are two other 5v which you can use 1-to-3 adapters on for example. You can find adapters, but they're not officially supported, so I'd stick to what's officially supported.
@@jordanash Yeah I am already using the 2 5v headers.. Oh well guess ill get a splitter.
Do we need to update bios (without bios flash button on this board) for Intel's 14th gen i9 14900k and can the memory speed run up to 7200 mhz?
Yes I'd expect so, you might be able to do it without an older CPU as it might recognise it just as a different SKU. Memory speeds are covered in the video.
@@jordanash Thanks! The only thing youve mentioned about the dimm slots are size up to 128gb and xmp 3.0 support, but I didnt hear anything about the clock speeds. And what exactly did you mean by doing it without an older CPU?
Oh, I usually mention speeds, sorry. Try googling for that. You'll likely need to update the bios as these came out for 13th gen, but *sometimes* you can use a new CPU and the board recognises it as a different SKU, so it allows you to update without the need for an old CPU.
@@jordanash NZXT is mentioning 14th gen compatibility though, so i should be fine no?
I expect that's to confirm the socket is the same. If not it could mean *with bios update. Also units that have been on shelves for a while won't be updated. You could just send them an email and ask if you want to be 100% sure.
Dude where did you get this? It's been "coming soon" since September!
NZXT sent it out. I've had a couple of comments from people who have bought one from third parties, so you can find them
lol they cant even give 2 extra thermal pad for m.2 slot 2 and 3? what??? i thought of getting it but this corner cutting is too much of a shame, yea its cheap but it speaks volume
How would I get this motherboard to work with 14900k? If it’s a bios flash how exactly would I do this?
Yeah it would need a flash if the factory haven't done it. They will all have updates in time, but depending where you get the board it might have been sat for a while. Details of what to do are here, I expect you can use the 14th Gen CPU to do it, it just might register as a different SKU until the update is complete. - support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/11652846587803-Updating-your-NZXT-Motherboard-BIOS
@@jordanash ok thank you!
No worries, please consider subscribing if you liked the video.
@@jordanashI already am don’t worry!
Great, thank you!
When and for how much will it be possible to buy in Poland.
What is the network card there - exact model??
They should be available very soon. I don't know Poland pricing or availability, sorry.
Network is Realtek: RTL8125BG according to the website.
@@jordanash Problemy z kartą sieciową Intel I226-V
Sprawę naświetliła redakcja TechPowerUp, która testowała płyty główne Intel z chipsetem 700. W niektórych, lepszych modelach zastosowano nowy kontroler sieciowy Intel I226-V (to szybka karta sieciowa 2.5G LAN).
Zastosowany kontroler ma problemy ze stabilnością połączenia sieciowego - chodzi o chwilowe, kilkusekundowe spadki szybkości połączenia. W większości przypadków taka usterka będzie niezauważalna, ale w zastosowaniach wymagających stabilnego połączenia (np. gry sieciowe, wideokonferencje, pulpit zdalny) już może powodować irytację.
Karta sieciowa Intel I226-V jest stosowana w następujących płytach głównych:
ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme

Na forach wsparcia technicznego od grudnia pojawiają się posty, w których użytkownicy nie kryją oburzenia problemami z "sieciówką". Sprawa jest o tyle poważna, że na ten moment nie ma żadnego rozwiązania usterki. Jedynym wyjściem jest przepięcie się do innej karty sieciowej (o ile taka jest dostępna na płycie głównej) lub po prostu podłączenie dodatkowej karty sieciowej.
I don't speak Polish sorry, I will have to translate and reply when I'm in the office tomorrow.
@@jordanash The controller used has problems with the stability of the network connection - it is about temporary, several-second drops in the connection speed. In most cases, such a glitch will go unnoticed, but in applications that require a stable connection (e.g. online gaming, video conferencing, remote desktop) it can already cause annoyance.

On the technical support forums, since December, there have been posts in which users do not hide their indignation with the problems with the "network". The matter is so serious that at the moment there is no solution to the fault. The only way out is to switch to another network card (if one is available on the motherboard) or simply connect an additional network card.
There are already biod updates available for the board, so issues might have been fixed already. I think the last build pc is realtek but I didn't have any issues with it.
Thank you for the overview. Any idea on market release date?
You're welcome! As far as I know it's anytime from now
It’s out now just got it today actually
@@Mauwe that's good news! Can you let us know which retailer has it?
@@jamesali10 hello yes I can I order it on Amazon currently it says it’s unavailable.
@@jamesali10 it’s on amazon I just ordered mine today.
i use ddr4 ram can i plug in this main?
I covered in the intro that this uses DDR5.
Will a corsair h80i v2 cooler fit with this motherboard?
You'll need the newer mounting kit, but I'd get something newer. That's only a 120mm cooler and all the 13th/14th gen are a lot hotter. I'd say *minimum* 240mm for the i3/i5, then 360 for the i7/i9
@@jordanashthanks was planning on getting an i5 13600k
Yeah I'd go at *least* a 240mm, a 360 would be even better.
Have you used one so far in a build?
Not yet mate, but I'll be using this in one in the next couple of weeks.
@@jordanash alright ^^ imma look forward to it
so i cant use DDR4 on this mother board?
No, the Z690 uses DDR4 though
@@jordanash ok thanks one more question please. Can I pair an i5 13gen with a 12gen motherboard?
Yep, sure can. You may need to update the bios first though
Fire vid man just woundering. I wanted to get a kit of ddr5 Corsair dominator ram at 6000mhz however I cannot find it in white anywhere and I won’t let myself settle for the black kit. If I were to buy the 6200mhz kit is that completely safe to run or is anything above 6000mhz bad. I’m running super end parts like the 4090 and 13900K so I’m hoping 6200mhz works ok with this beautiful board
Thanks mate! Oh it'll be fine, you just might find you need to manually set the RAM speeds instead of using XMP.
@@jordanash perfect man that’s great news. Only reason I’m getting the 6200mhz kit is cause the Corsair dominator white kit In 6000mhz isn’t available anywhere that I’ve seen. The closest one is the 6200mhz version. But if the 6200mhz version is completely safe to use with the NZXT N7 Z790 board I’m more then happy to go with that.
Yeah it'll be fine mate. Just make sure to set, otherwise it will only run at like 4800MT/s
@@jordanash perfect man thanks so much. Should I run it at 6200 or 6000. Since the boards max is apparently “6000mhz”
When motherboard manufacturers say a max, that's when using XMP, so setting manually you can go higher and use 6200.
do u need to update bios for 13th gen cpu
No, this Z790 came out for 13th Gen
ok ty :) i just wanted to make sure i didn’t need to borrow a older cpu to update the bios
No worries, you'll be fine
Accesories and boxing is a bit dissapointing. As well as the wifi antenna's. Missed chances here for 300+ euro's...
I don't know what they could include that wouldn't bump the price up a lot though 🤔
@@jordanash well, for the same price or less tou could get a way better equipped bord from Gigabyte, MSI, Asrock and Asus.
Yeah that's like I mentioned with the price bracket, but none of those have the sleek/stealth aesthetic this board offers. Some people will choose this for looks alone.
@@jordanashn your honest opinion bro is this a decent board to have. I’m currently going for a new high end build with things like the i9 13900K and 4090. I’m guessing it’s not a crazy strong board but I was woundering if it’s still a very strong decent board. Cause In terms of looks this board stomps everything else
I really like this board to be honest, plus the beefy power stages would work well for the 13900k I think. I'd happily use this in a daily PC.
They take so long to release this stuff and everything’s always out of stock
You can find these through third paries now ☺
Only 6000+ RAM on this mobo? Seriously? Even cheapest ASRock Z790 supports up to 7200+
It could just be that there will be a bios update for higher support, and it's just lower for now until the board officially launches. There will always be bugs to iron out as it's a new product.
For the next time, when you try these type of comparison video, please use the white edition to educate, people love now a days white editions... if suppose you use white edition to demonstrate you hit million viiews. Try it !!
I had specific colour themed for builds with the boards I had that's why they're both black, and asking for another £350 motherboard just for a comparison is talking the mick. I did get the AM5 board in white.
Nzxt N7 z790 v/s Asus Rog Strix Z790-H v/s Msi Z790 Tomahawk
Not used the others, try googling one vs the other. That's all I'd be doing to tell you, so you just as well do that yourself ☺
@@jordanash 👍
I've used the z370, and z490 versions of these boards, and its the same shortcomings/cut corners to keep the price down on an overpriced board. Its obvious that most of the budget goes into the armor, but at the same time, you'd think that the fact they've been doing this since 9th gen intel, they would have found a way to make that cheaper through the revisions. It's disheartening to see yet another year of lackluster rear IO, no dual 8-pin CPU power, or PCIE gen 5 m.2 support. The boards look good, but yet again, there is no reason whatsoever to get this board outside of looks as it's more akin to a b660 or b760 board because it doesn't utilize the features afforded to it by the CPU you would expect to be dropping into it at this price. I thought the z590 board was actually a step in the right direction fixing my biggest grip about the rear IO by having a similar amount to its competitors, but when z690 rolled around they undid it.
It's strange as the B650E has a Gen 5 M.2 slot, yet this which is the highest chipset for Intel doesn't, very weird. I expect the price of this will drop pretty quickly though to allow for the features this is missing.
i have th b650e i love it
Aweseom, it's a great board
Yeah a motherboard without RGB garbage! Just what I was looking for!
People used to pay more for rgb now we're paying more to not have it!
@@esotericjahanism5251 Yeah, I actually bought this motherboard not too long after posting that comment lol
But motherboards in general have skyrocketed in price too.
Nice vid thanks for evrething
Thank you, thanks for watching!
apparently people dont use two screens? ill pass on this one lmao 😂😂
Are you referring to the Hdmi on the rear I/O? You plug monitors into a graphics card not the motherboard... It's mainly used for troubleshooting
why nobody's talking about display port?? Why there is no displayport in this motherboard?? It's 2023 outside. Come on guys
Probably because you'll only use it to troubleshoot, not powering high resolutions
oooo asrock hard pass, thank you for this info. big yikes.
What issues have you had with Asrock boards? I've not had any with mine.
@@jordanash wait until it kills your cpu
Hmmm 🤔 What PSU/wattage, motherboard and CPU was it?
@@jordanash asrock motherboards are garbage bro. Bottom of the barrel parts, some just come dead. I will never trust them after it killed my cpu. I actively avoid them.
Can you tell me the combo though, just curious what you were using.
