WATCH THIS Before Wasting Money On Z790 Motherboards

I'm building a new PC withi9 13900k, but I am worried about the lack of NVME and Sata ports as I was going to get a ROG Maximus Hero Z790. I have x3 NME drives.

These are just Asus boards....

You keep saying Zed790.... but all I see is Z790??

How are those lights in the back not in your description?! I need those, anyone know what he's got setup?

also watch out some z790s are not future proof for 14th gen

Just upgraded from a Rampage IV 2011 with a 4930k to an Asrock Steel Legen z790 with a 13900k. The upgrade better be noticeable because my bank and wife sure as hell noticed. Also I am amazed everything still is ugly as sin with rediculous marketing. I always wonder, who are the target buyers for this stuff - do they even care. I assume the designers are just skiing on their nose for a decade and creating these designs for gaudy Internet Cafes in upscale China. My 4090 from Palit was the most "affordable" i could find for my business and the name is Game Rock in guitar hero font and some rediculous plastic bs on it. The marketing text on the box is written by someone in the middle of an ayahusca experience, talking about how the crystals are plucked from the night sky and imbued with magical black energy.... I am not even going to start on the RGB that NOONE NEEDS. I guess as the world goes deeper into sthi humans get more reiduclous on get "creative" and come up with some postpunkposthumanpostsanity designs like its roaring 20s and we are into dada art again.

Asus STRIX Z790 Gaming-E and is a great base for an Intel processor, unless someone wants something overkill or something on a budget, it has almost all the necessary extras that even a more demanding user needs

Asus Maximus Hero Z790 sucks!!!! I'm about to throw mine in the trash!

Aioshield is bulshit, still weening noises from audio… never trust built in audio buy external

Asus maximus hero just died on my pc. Just no isgns of life no pos nothing compelatly dead after normal shutdown. Paid extra thout gona be relyable. Asus has crap audio aswell avoid it

Stopped overclocking years ago, my systems now last for years and no lost data...

I could not find what does the A and E means behind the Z790- and I could not find the difference except the colour

I have an msi z790p i9 and 4080 oc. Is that ok

First question should be: are you a creator, gamer, or other?
Why no Asus ProArt board?

hi, nice overview and comparison with other boards :)) one question though, does this still have the ethernet issues of i225-v/i226-v? such as the the disconnect issue, low speeds, dropping packets etc.

You have no idea how useful those charts were to me. The business of shared lanes and M.2 slots that don't work if a PCIe socket is occupied, or if all of the M.2 slots are used, you lose half of the SATA ports has been doing my head in. I still don't understand it all, but I think I'll be reasonably safe if I spend large on the Maximus Hero board. That's if they can find one.

i been using Z270-F for over 6 years now and i just bought Z790-F i cba looking for diffrences and to try other motherboards i didnt have any issue for using Z270-F i loved it but its time for an upgrade!

Did he just said i need an extra brain to understand the USB 3.2 gen 2x2? ... wow.

can you sum up and suggest a good budget motherboard for intel i9 13900k

I had a z170 mobo from Asus (old mobo) and upgraded to a new pc, z790 from Gigabyte. WARNING : the onboard sound is poor compared to my old mobo. I have been forced to get a soundcard probably.

why do you have so many motherboards bro

So what is even point of any of these board, i mean if in "future" i have 1 PCIe 5.0 card and 1 PCie 5.0 M.2 SSD, somehow for Z690-E will not be able to give 16 Lane to My PCIe 5.0 card, because i will be utilizing my M 2.1 slot to use my gen 5 ssd. On the other side of the spectrum Hero version does have 2 -16 lane support, but in this case also my PCIe 5.0 card will not get 16 Lane.

Point of these board is "future proofing". Really?? Gen 5 devices cant even run in thier potential due to Lane Limitaion - Then why buying any of these.
Apart from this being early adopter we will be gifted with most unstable tech.

Is my understanding correct though? i am not sure on that.

where are the micro-ATX board? I've been waiting for it to come out! WTF?!!!

Would be nice to see an Asus z790 Maximus Extreme Glacial

Should I get Strix B760-f or Z690-f if I'm going for a non K CPU? Both boards only have a little difference in price with Z690-f being slightly more expensive in where I live.
Also, If I somehow the K CPU price drops and I decided to get one, is Z690-F still worth it even if I'm not going to OC?

I cant relate the topic and the content of this video. It says "wasting money on Z790" but there is no point that you clarify this sentence.

I liked this channel and this guy right away, we really can use tech experts that do not behave like clowns these days. please don't mind me too much, person getting old talking here.

A 790 is only 30 euro more compared to a 690 and i dont need to update the bios. So guess what i will buy..

I future proofed and it wasn't smart. I ended up switching to Intel today after "future proofing" an AMD system with a 5950X and 3090 lol
You never know what direction life will take you sometimes.

which is better?

I just picked up a Z790 PG sonic board. Im building my first gaming rig in honor of my first game console and games, A Sega Genesis Model 2 and Sonic 1, 2 and 3.
I even bought a AIO pump with a led screen so I can play a gif animation of sonic running. Im even planning on painting my MSI ATX case in white/blue with sonic on the back case.

even the cheapest z790 mobos here in denmark is about 260 dollars!the 13600k was to be my next build, but the big power consumption and todays electric bills are too much for my wallet!

is the z790 bios needs to be updated first too to support 13 Gen !!

I dont understand, if you use M.2_1 pcie 1 works x8.
BUT pcie 5.0 x8 is just as fast as pcie 4.0 x16 so why not use M.2_1? Its not degrading the gpu's performance at all.....

the z690 series is a waste of money, because if you want to upgrade stuff next year and not swap out the mobo, you will need a z790 vs Z690 all the way.

thier is currently a best mobo out their but its price is obviously not cheap, the asus z790 maximus apex thier is no better mobo in existence today then that one currently,

z690 is just junk, dont waste cash of that garbage stuff. buy a z590 series if you need to save a few bucks but do not spend on z690 at all its garbage.

Are there any motherboards that offers two M.2 ports?

Bro that m.2 16 lane or 8 lane stuff is so confusing and such a dealbraker

Straight to the point. and good content. Thanks for now wasting my time like linus or 2cent

Let me make sure I heard you correctly, I am planning to used nvidia 3080 to, which is a pcie 4 x 16. So if I do not used nvme slot 1, but skip and start with slot 2, I should be ok to ensure the gpu has all of its pcie lanes available ? Or this is only limited to a spec Asus z790 mb model ?

Is there a point to get Z790 over Z690 for an ITX format since such small motherboard can't have more than 1 PCIe slot?

moving from imac after 14 years to a PC. For coding/programming, is the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX a good option in combination with a i5 13600K? Or a Gigabyte Z790 aero G atx. Thanks

Is there much a difference between the ASUS Prime z790 vs the ASUS Prime z690?

where on ROG STRIX Z790-I GAMING WIFI is PCIe5.0 M.2 slot and a PCIe 4.0 I mean is the bottom 4.0 or 5.0 and can I put my ssd m.2 pci 4.0 on 5.0 and whats happen

If I generally choose to buy first-gen of a technology to base my computer on for the next ten years and upgrade as necessary, which would you say is a better option for overall value?

I bought my z790 boards (z790-I WIFI and z790-Extrerme ) mainly because of TB4

Does it support rxt 3070 it ddr6 ?

Two words: Memory Controller. Z790>

What would be the perfomance difference in games vs z690?

why is building a pc so damn complicated with compatibility

so there are only asus z790 motherboards?
