Excelente Motherboard!! para su precio es de las mejores opciones Z790

This ATX motherboard has excellent features for its price. I am running an i7 13700k , with a 3070ti, 16 GB of 5600MT/s DDR5. Overall- Twin 16+1+１ Phases Digital VRM, with 2 x8 pin CPU power supply. Which is perfect for overclocking I cannot find another reputable branded motherboard that had both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and 18 VRM for less than 450$ CAD not to mention DDR5 as well. The heat sinks are of solid, matte heavy aluminum, making the board looks sleek and of high quality. The wifi is 802.11ac, WIFI 5. I am getting 238 Mbps on a 1000Mbps network, about 20 feet from the modem. Bluetooth 4.2. There is a programable "CMOS" button and Bios Flash button soldered to the board. Some issues- I have had issues getting the system to post with XMP enabled on stock settings (5600), I'm thinking that with later BIOS versions the issues will be fixed as I made sure to select compatible RAM from manufacturarers website. Currently am running at 4800, which is the native speed for the motherboard, but not a big deal for the time being, will update my review if this changes. I personally would like to have more than 6 fan headers, and a separate CPU water pump header, not one that doubles as a fan header, which takes you down to 5. Connectivity- 1 x USB Type-C port on the back panel, with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support 1 x USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 1 support 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, 6 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 8 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports There is a 5.0 PCie x16 slot, and 1x 4.0 PCIe x16 slot and 2x 3.0 Pcie x16 slots and two PCie x4 slots. 4 DIMM Dual Channel DDR5 Ram, supporting up to 128gb, at MT ratings up to 7200Hz. 3x PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, one with a built in heatsink. Features a "Display Port" and HDMI port on the back side of the motherboard. Has 6 Fan headers one doubling as a water pump header, 4 LED headers, two are addressable. There is a 3 x 3.5mm MIC/LINE IN/LINE OUT ports. PS/2 mouse port.

Well it is working fine so far , can get you going with the cheapest price yet no compromise over VRM. But lacks some stuff I was used too like debug panel , SPDIF/out. wireless is a + , didnt have it before. Some printing are so tiny and not so clear where you connect the power switch and leds. It just gave me a hard time as I have old GPU and it wouldnt pick up signal ang the vga led was always on. I paniced but searched the forums and it was a BIOS thing to adjust took me a while though as I had to order a DP Adaptor to HDMI. Yes beware! you need a DP Cable or Adapter

Packing was great , all components are there , thanks seller delta computer supplies

When buying computer hardware like this, a buyer should really be doing their own research online over the many sites that cover hardware. I suggest Tom's Hardware, LTT, Gamers Nexus etc all as a good resource to use. What you need to know for buying from Amazon, is that the item comes as expected, properly packaged and protected and with Amazon's legendary customer support, should you need it. I've been using this motherboard for a few months now, and it's been really great for me. I use its features to manage my overclocking and cooling config, as well as taking advantage of the 3 NVMe slots for solid state drives. This board supports pcie gen 4, which means, to get the most out of it, you should also get a cpu that supports the same.
