Now I normally dont write reviews for many things however this product warrants it. For the price of this board it is nothing worth the money spend to have this many problems. First had trouble getting windows toboot on this board to ddr5 ram not working properly. Loading the xmp profile in bios with ram given in the bundle kit with it fails and crashes not making it past the bios. As if that wasnt enough to my usb ports in the back of the board failing after only 1 week of using it. Buyer beware stay far away from this product as someone who builds computers this is one I would never recommend.

Works fast and easy

Causes random blue screens with Ram set at anything but stock speeds. cant use XMP at all which was the whole point of upgrading. Stay far away

La placa es bastante buena y en combinación con los componentes de nueva generación, vuela.

It works well for gaming, but it literally takes minutes to post! Thats on fast boot, but I feel like that doesnt apply. I know its doing some checks before fully booting, but when cooking something quickly can be done in the time it takes to post, ya done something wrong! It shouldnt be at 00s standards! Christ! Plus, it really hates intel rapid storage configuration. It disabled ALL of my hard drives and I nearly went insane! Definitely gonna stick with MSI in the future.

Plenty of M.2 slots, Pcie, Pump & Fan connections. Good hardware to support High end cpus. I benchmarked my computer with this Mobo and it ranked 99% in the world against other computers.

after setup, a fresh install of Windows started getting a blue screen of death running stock, with no overclock. updated all drivers and firmware which reduced the constant bluescreens to daily instead of every few minutes. Searched online, and all error codes say bad Ram, returned a brand new Corsair Vengeance 5200 for Corsair Dominator which was specifically on the list of supported ram. After getting it back online with the new ram, still bluescreening daily. The system is completely unreliable.

4 slots for m.2 is great since I have stopped using SATA altogether, has all features to overclock but I havent overclocked yet, running my i7 12700k smoothly, has the usb-c type E Thunderbolt for my PC Case Header, has everything I need, had to update bios again for stability but is expected since it is new to market.

ME GUSTA POR TODA LA NUEVA TECNOLOGÍA QUE TRAE, PERO A LA VES NO ME GUSTA PORQUE SI ES DE NUEVA GENERACIÓN QUE APENAS SALIO EN OCTUBRE 2021, NO PUEDAS ELEGIR EN ESTA TARJETA USAR MEMORIAS RAM DDR 4 O DDR 5, NECESARIAMENTE TIENE QUE SER DDR 5. ENTONCES; PARA QUÉ EL PROCESADOR INTEL ALDER LAKE SOPORTA DDR4 Y DDR5 SI NECESARIAMENTE DEBES USAR UNA U OTRA PLACA NO LA MISMA, DEBERÍAN DE HABER DEJADO LA RANURA DE LAS NUEVAS MEMORIAS EN EL MISMO LUGAR QUE LAS DDR4 Y HACERLAS COMPATIBLES CON AMBAS GENERACIONES, OTRA COSA, TAMPOCO PUEDES USAR SSD M.2 GEN. 5 EN LOS SOCKET DE LA MOTHER PORQUE NO HAY AUN NINGUNA PARA ESE FIN, NECESARIAMENTE TENDRÉ QUE COMPRAR UN ADAPTADOR PARA PCI, Y SI USO UNA TARJETA DE GRÁFICOS, ENTONCES DONDE CONECTO ESE ADAPTADOR PARA SSD M.2 O DONDE CONECTO LA GPU?

There is not a bios flashback feature on this board. You need the current bios version before you can use 13th gen i9 13900k. The only way to get the bios update is by installing a 12th gen cpu and updating the bios then install the 13th gen cpu. Z790 ddr5 boards are hard to find and cost around 630 dollars. If your stuck at a dram yellow error light like me, buy a cheap cpu for 100 bucks and update bios.
