I bought and built this for my new pc last night and I absolutely love it. :) Don't care about the price, it's cool as hell. Everything on this board is beautiful and such high quality, it was a joy to build.
I have the Z790-E on order for my PC upgrade after 4 years. Am upgrading from a i9-9900K to i9-13900K so hope to see a big jump in performance. Was surprised to see Asus mobo prices almost doubling.. i used to use their Maximus (Code/Hero) series but they are way too ex now so i crossed over to the slightly cheaper Strix series. More worried of the 13900's heat issue than the mobo's performance sigh ...
Keep in mind that the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot will only run at x8 if you populate the the top M.2 slot. From Asus' website: ** When M.2_1 is occupied with SSD device, PCIEX16(G5) will run x8 only.
Hi Nick & Klaire, Thanks for the overview, super useful! Did you remove the VRM heatsink prior to filming the board walkaround? Beginning at 4:48 it really looks like there is a mounting screw missing just up at the 2 8 volt EPS connectors corner side. I was wondering whether that was you or if Asus QC missed something? Cheers!
I just brought and built my new computer with this motherboard. The previous one had a glitch in it so I upgraded to this motherboard and I'm so happy it's amazing.
i have this board with a 13700k and 3080, i added 4 16GB of corsair dominator DDR5 and was crashing my pc, took 2 out and crashing has stopped. Any idea why?
someone told me that asus prime z790 p wifi dont work good with i9 13900k and dont maximize full potantial of the processer and going hot is it right plz help i have this motherboard and i hope i didnt make mistake.. i got the i9 13900k
I have the rog strix Z590 e variant, definitely an upgrade from my previous MSI z490 gaming edge. Rog strix is such a good mobo brand , cant see myself going back to any other brand especially now that im planning to go for a 13th gen upgrade :)
@Taylor i did watch the whole video but i didn't hear him say anything about it. probably my mistake but it doesn't matter now i bought the motherboard its good
Another great overview! Wondering if you might be able to get hold of the Gigabyte B650I Aorus Ultra and do an overview of it. I'd love to see that one.
It's not expensive if you look at all the features, I always liked the solid foundation for computer in form of great board and in this generation finally top intel boards are not $1000 anymore and also amd boards in last 2 generations are becoming solid whereas previous were bunch of crap until late zen2... so things are looking good, I only hope intel stops with that continuous chipset and socket changes and sticks with one for 4 gens if they release new gen every 12 months...
These mobo prices are killing me. At $500+ I want thunderbolt, 10Gb Ethernet, and at least a x16/x8/x4 expansion layout. Guess I am just an old man yelling at cloud.
The fact that the AUS Dollar is called a Dollar doesn't imply parity. The AUS Dollar is worth half what a US Dollar is worth. It's a conversion, not a tax.
You clearly don't understand Australian Taxation on imported products. I suggest converting then seeing how expensive it is before trying to sound smart. 499 USD to AUD is 749 AUD not 959 AUD. MANY TIMES in the past the AUD has been stronger than USD.
I just purchased the Z790 Maximus Hero (absolutely amazing board by the way) which would be the higher tier version of this board. The Maximus make this motherboard look like a thrift store purchase when comparing the price.
xcelent my dear. i no understand english to strongly but i enjoi computer. you are gr8 man and xcelent mustash like my father. please make video fouur hindi. please speaking more less speed. my familee four you. xcelent!
@@GearSeekers sorry dear my english no strongly. i mean tranlashin. sorry no angry four me. i try four my best. i no you from special part of astralia.
After reading your comment, I did a little RUclips research. I was able to get CC to translate the video into Hindi. Click on CC and then Settings. After clicking the down arrow at Settings, you will be given a long list of languages to pick from. Hindi was on that list. RUclips has features that many people don't know. Let me know if this helped.
@@outlet6989 thx u my dear. wen he will make this settings fouur hindi? i wait four hear him speak four the hindi so enjoi even muchly more four gr8 convenience my beauty
Love how nobody mentions that if you use the useless pcie5.0 M.2_1 socket on the board than your video card will only run in x8 lanes instead of x16. So this board in theory does support pcie5.0 m.2 but if your not a gamer and dont plan on using a graphics card at its full capacity!
In conclusion : - Too many useless USB ports - Gaming Republic of gamer childish design - Poor placement of sys fan - Ugly"gAmiNg RoG" BIOS and that is not practical - High Price for nothing - Not better than Unify-X for OC RAM - Cost double of the price than a Tomahawk Z790/ or Z690/2790 Aorus which are more sober, cheaper with a better BIOS. Overkill board and useless, ofc, imho.

What your specs ?

Got this board paired with my 13900k, gskill 6000mhz c30 2x16gb & 4090 and i love it
did it melt

** When M.2_1 is occupied with SSD device, PCIEX16(G5) will run x8 only.
A 4090 will barely fill out a PCIE gen 3x16. That is like what, 4 lanes of Gen 5? Not that big of a deal.
I appreciate someone that understands the difference between a review and an overview. A+ creator!

That's for a VRM fan, the mount is included the fan is not.

you missed the T_sensor
Nice that it has a start button on it, should be on all boards IMO…
i have this board with a 13700k and 3080, i added 4 16GB of corsair dominator DDR5 and was crashing my pc, took 2 out and crashing has stopped. Any idea why?
if you are using 4 sticks of ram than lower your overclocked ram speed to a lower speed to make it more stable
I needed it for the number of usb ports as i have 5 external hhd and 2 portable hhd, and i need the thunderbolt header
is asus z790 rog strix better than z790 aurus master gigabyte
Nick, do you intend to showcase the B650E-E? I'm thinking about buying that one and switching to AM5.
Excellent overview fams. Keep up the hard work #RoadTo200K
someone told me that asus prime z790 p wifi dont work good with i9 13900k and dont maximize full potantial of the processer and going hot is it right plz help i have this motherboard and i hope i didnt make mistake.. i got the i9 13900k
Who ever told you that knows nothing about PCs
@@GearSeekers thx bro i take the asus prime z790 A
i9 13900k
4070ti
and all work perfect
If only using one m.2 slot are you supposed to use the top one?
I got the Z790-i, will be making my build as soon as the AiO arrives.
ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming DDR5 Wi-Fi Motherboard still a good board?
I actually just did a build with this exact board! Total overkill build but totally worth it since Asus makes such killer hardware 😎
Yes killer indeed like burning sockets, incorrect SoC voltages, bad BIOSes, not honouring their warranties, and caps soldered backwards...........
Sad it’s says 7800 ddr5 online but when you get the box says it’s only 7200
I put my SSD in the top slot above the GPU.. Is that a bad thing to do?
Perfect timing for this video. I'm planning on getting this motherboard and I was on the fence about the 690 board.
Quick question: How long do motherboards like these last in years? If not overclocked?
usually forever
Thanks and I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing your understanding of upcoming hardware. Best wishes.@@GearSeekers
I have my asus p7p55d-e from 2010 and still using it wiith oc 3.8ghz i5 760
I have the rog strix Z590 e variant, definitely an upgrade from my previous MSI z490 gaming edge. Rog strix is such a good mobo brand , cant see myself going back to any other brand especially now that im planning to go for a 13th gen upgrade :)
do one for msi mpg z790i edge wifi
Thanks for review. Very cool board
After You Told About 4 Sata Ports You said ‘You are About to see that in a minute” Soo is there anything you wanted to tell related to that
@@taylor___ Apparently not 😂
@Taylor i did watch the whole video but i didn't hear him say anything about it. probably my mistake but it doesn't matter now i bought the motherboard its good
What is the average mobo temperature for this? mine stays at 60-65 while gaming. Fluctuates 40-55 idle.. Is this normal?
Great vid again. Just subscribed. I’m an Aussie in Seattle
Thanks for joining us!
can you please do an overview of the ASRock Z790 Pro RS DDR5 motherboard
I wonder what's better this or the z790 aorus master
Banger of a motherboard overview fams. Keep up the hard work. #Roadto200k
Wish there was a thunderbolt port in rear io.
Nice video man. Keep up the good work. Got one today and i love it.
What's your thoughts about ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming (WiFi 6E)?
I read that its onboard ethernet plug is unstable over 100Mb/s.
Gear Seekers, can you please review z790-H
I want to see you go over the MSI Z790 Ace! Great videos!
He didn’t mention bifurcation
Gaddayum!
I wouldn't know what to watch in a world where Gear Seekers never existed.
I peek, but who will seek? 🥺
😂😂
Another great overview! Wondering if you might be able to get hold of the Gigabyte B650I Aorus Ultra and do an overview of it. I'd love to see that one.
Literally filming that today lol. It arrived yesterday
Funny how those things work out. 🤣
Great video as always, would love to see a overview of the z790 Maximus apex and aorus master!
We've done the aorus master already
It's not expensive if you look at all the features, I always liked the solid foundation for computer in form of great board and in this generation finally top intel boards are not $1000 anymore and also amd boards in last 2 generations are becoming solid whereas previous were bunch of crap until late zen2... so things are looking good, I only hope intel stops with that continuous chipset and socket changes and sticks with one for 4 gens if they release new gen every 12 months...
Nice. I like that they put the start button back on this level of board. Recently they have been keeping it on the max water cooling level boards.
Any board worth more than $300 should have it.
it's sad to see asus reducing sata ports from 6 to 4 on all gaming series z790 boards.
It's not really necessary to have that many sata ports due NVME drives being the common go to on gaming builds.
These mobo prices are killing me. At $500+ I want thunderbolt, 10Gb Ethernet, and at least a x16/x8/x4 expansion layout. Guess I am just an old man yelling at cloud.
I want to build a PC that will last me for a decade and this motherboard is my top choice.
Also double the price of the the old Gaming E boards

I got the 690 for my 13600k and saved a few hundred bucks
I just purchased the Z790 Maximus Hero (absolutely amazing board by the way) which would be the higher tier version of this board. The Maximus make this motherboard look like a thrift store purchase when comparing the price.
bro the aud price 💀
I got one
If you don't care for error code display, you are better off with Z790-A, less expensive.
This motherboard is killer
I hve it coo
i brought that motherboard with my 13 intel i7 and four sticks total 64 ram lol i need to upgrade my gpu is 3060 😂
Too overkill risking the depreciation value to go lower once 14th gen comes and this be obsolete like how z590 fares
Prices are absolute bonkers. Strix is dead for the average users. MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk will be the next best thing.
xcelent my dear. i no understand english to strongly but i enjoi computer. you are gr8 man and xcelent mustash like my father. please make video fouur hindi. please speaking more less speed. my familee four you. xcelent!

Yeah but how do you install it. Everyone's talking shit on it but there's zero guides
You don't need a guide to install a motherboard. Read the manual
nice board rog make some great gear
