ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming (WiFi 6E)LGA1700(Intel14th,13&12th Gen)ATX gaming motherboard(DDR5 7800 MT/s, PCIe5.0 x16 with Q-Release,4xPCIe 4.0 M.2 slots,USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C,front-panel connector)

This motherboard made for a super easy upgrade. Hardware install was simple, with good instruction manual tips, booted without any issues on the first try. The BIOS was easy to navigate and had really solid defaults (REBAR was on by default for example), easy overclocking / XMP profiles / iGPU settings. This mobo also recognized my windows boot drive and automatically set that first in the boot order. Upon initial boot, ASUS software automatically loaded and installed basic drivers, such as my ethernet adapter, then allowed further updates. Windows pulled in previous SSDs and kept the mapping from my previous build without trouble. Having 4 pcie gen4 lanes with m.2 ssd adapters, all with heatsinks will allow this motherboard to be useful far into the future. If you are looking for a painless upgrade of an older system, this motherboard has familiar base features and makes for a seamless experience. Tip: Create a Microsoft account to bind to your windows license key to avoid having to buy another. Changing hardware invalidates the existing install's license.

Paired the motherboard with 13900K and 64GB of DDR5 5600Mhz RAM from G.Skill. Unfortunately, I had hiccups when installing Windows, where it BSODs halfway, causing installation failure. Updating the BIOS did not fix it. What fixed it however, is I let Windows install with only 1 stick of RAM. Windows installed successfully without BSOD. So, I plugged in the 2nd back in didn't cause any more issues. Ran my benchmarks and everything is working fine! I can't guarantee this will work for everyone, but seeing as DDR5 is new, maybe 64GB is a little too much for Windows 11 for now. Overall, the motherboard is great. 4 M.2 Slots that can accommodate different sizes is awesome, and it even has it's own heat sink. Surprisingly lots of RGB Headers for all your RGB needs, take note it has two types of RGB Headers, one is their 4-pin one that's proprietary with 12V and a 3-pin one for other RGB that only uses 5V. Be careful when to use these pins or otherwise you will damage your motherboard.

Have been using this motherboard with an i5 processor for video editing with good results. I presently have 2 installed SSD 2GB drives and an external 1GB drive, no issues, thermal or otherwise. It is wise to have good technical knowledge for assembly and selection of power supply as well as case.

I like everything about this board, well, except one niggle. Overall this board offers 4 NVME drive slots, 4 SATA ports, all in a good looking package. This is a compromise board, cutting out a position between high end boards and entry level units. It offers a lot in an affordable package. The niggle... I was an idiot and didn't check for compatibility between this board and the Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler. I found interference on the edge side of the board and the plastic cover over the heat sinks. After some very careful inspect, I determined that the plastic over this section did nothing but look good and if anything may have hindered air flow, so I very carefully cut it off. The cooler tubes now had clearance, and all is well. I have built hundreds of computers in over 30 years.. so I can say I know what I am doing.

I have encountered the same defect in both an Asus TUF Gaming z690 motherboard and this ROG Strix Z790 motherboard. I am doing my build with an Intel i5 12th gen processor that does not have integrated graphics, so I have to use a separate graphics card. After having an issue with the TUF Gaming motherboard, I started to pay close attention to the sequence of events as they occurred. During POST, I've observed the white QLED light comes on, indicating the motherboard was unable to identify VGA, I guess this is expected since the processor doesn't have integrated graphics. What happens next in a perfect world is the white light goes off, I assume when the motherboard detects the installed graphics card, then sends instructions that all's well, continue with the boot sequence. What's happened to me though, for the first motherboard after a month and 4 days of use and on the second motherboard after only 4 days of use, is that suddenly the motherboard refuses to continue with POST after the initial VGA detection fails, regardless of the video card installed (I've tried multiple when the issue occurs). It's like the knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who refuses to let anyone pass. What then occurs, not just to me, but I've seen other reports of this, is a comedy of trial and error. In one case, I read moving the video cable from one port to another may resolve the issue. In another case, I learned reseating the video card may resolve the issue. In another case I saw it reported that the system would give the one long beep and three short beep error indicating a VGA detection issue, but then boot up anyway. In my case, moving the video cable and reseating the card only helped temporarily and the next day the problem would reoccur. Talking to Asus support, they seem to want to default to RMA'ing the motherboard, I don't know if this is just the easier route, or they know this is an issue. In the other cases I read about, I don't know if they are all using processors with or without integrated graphics, so it may or may not be related to what I encountered. I did my best to work through this issue, I am a die hard Asus fan, as I have done multiple builds over the years and like to hang onto my systems for a long time. Asus seems to have always been the best for reliability. Not sure what is going on here, or if technology has become so complex it's simply difficult for manufacturers to build with the same dependability as before to keep up with the technology. At this point I'm contemplating all my options, including switching to another brand such as Gigabyte or MSI as I'm reading others have been doing.

I like the Asus board but the description of the item by the seller was misleading considering if the item is an open box it is usually marked as so in bold letters in the item header. I did not know this until the Amazon box was opened and I saw the sticker say “ thank you for giving this item a second life” ( something like that). I looked at my receipt and almost needing a magnifying glass I see in the small font “condition New” what a joke, the inside packaging was torn, no heartsick for the M.2 drive, and almost worse no driver disk and the CMOS battery on the board was dead. I had to get this computer built so I worked past this so buyers beware.

Memory could not be clocked to Spec, had to clock quite a bit lower. Power light connector on motherboard doe not work. USB port on I/O connector does not work.

Bonne carte mère pour remplacer une rog strix Z790-F Gaming qui a claqué d'un seul coup. (croisont les doigts pour celle la) car gros problèmes chez Asus avec cm Z790, plusieurs bios pour "corriger" et qui retire des fonctions voir crash les cartes mère. Donc attention lire les forum ASUS

OK!OK!OK!

No issues whatsoever with this board, very good with an i9 13900k. Only issue I had was Windows overwriting the WiFi drivers during an update and then WiFi not working which resulted in reinstalling Windows. I swapped from an MSI Z790 Tomahawk, purely for GPU compatibility.

Este producto lo compre de segundas vidas, y llevo 1 año con ellos, me ha funcionado de maravilla, precio calidad te la recomiendo.
