ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II LGA 1700 (Intel 14th/13th/12th Gen) ATX Motherboard (DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 2.5Gb LAN, 5xM.2, PCIe 5.0 x16, WiFi 7, PD 3.0 up to 30W)

This motherboard ROCKS. It flies. The blazing fast speed sucks the trail of exhaust smoke out of the room with it's processing capabilities. Something a bit confusing for me is the numbering of the M.2 sockets. The first socket, M2_1, shares the processor lane with the graphics card. If you use a G5 SSD, then the PCIe runs at G4 speed - okay fine - GPUs are G4 anyway. But you would think the very next M.2 socket would be M2_2 but no, it's M2_3. M2_2 is at the bottom of the board near the audio section of the board. Meaning if you're going to use a second SSD, put it in the M2 socket at the bottom of the board (not in the layout order on the Motherboard) in order for it to control it with the Intel core processor as opposed to the Z790 Intel chipset.The quick start guide included is really lame. Make sure to download the manual from Asus before you begin your build.Once the build is up and running - you're going to LOVE the experience! I know that I do!

The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II is a solid choice for high-performance builds. Paired it with an i9-1200k and Corsair Dominator DDR5 RAM—runs flawlessly! PCIe 5.0 support is a huge plus, and the WiFi 6E is super fast. Build quality is top-notch, and setup was smooth. Highly recommend for gamers and power users!

1 semana de uso y todo parece estar en orden

A nice update to Asus's STRIX series, future-proofed with WiFi 7, and plenty of USB inputs, with 2x Type C and plenty of USB-A.Some of the newly manufactured versions of these boards come with the Intel chip fix that was released over the summer, but this one came installed with the factory BIOS (v0801) from early in 2024.Before doing any installation, I made sure to flash and update to the latest BIOS (v1801) - Asus makes this super simple with the EZ Flash 3 feature that just lets you plug in your PSU to the 24- and 8-pin connector, then flash with a USB stick.After that, I proceeded to seat my CPU and other components. You could probably get away with booting it with the CPU straight into BIOS, but given Intel's issues the past year, best to do your first boot with the BIOS fix already in place to avoid any damage to the Raptor Lake CPU.Currently running an i7-14000K, works great, board fits perfectly fine into my Corsair 4000D case. Versatile for both work and play.
