I love how you breakdown every aspect of the item you’re reviewing to help people that don’t have the knowledge understand things better. Also this mobo is so beautiful!
That motherboard is so clean i feel like so many boards kill aesthetic but this is so neutral it would just fade to the back but if you look close you can still see its a nice looking board
My favorite part of this video is probably the CPU. I plan to build a system with an I9 10900k in it when I have enough saved, and seeing the leaps that Intel has taken in just 3 generations of CPU is wild.
I'm new to computers so I like that you go through everything and anything about the motherboard makes it very easy for someone new to learn alot before buying I found you on tiktok and have learned tons since finding your videos! Grade a content! Thank you!
I know why they provided display port cable.... DP goes from gpu out to DP in on the motherboard, then video goes in/out through the 2x thunderbolt ports to monitors (with attached hubs)
Thanks for the great video presentation. I haven't done a build in a long while and you just gave me a massive update. You have a great voice for these type of presentations too (I have some inner ear issues but had no problem interpreting your voice). I look forward to looking at your other reviews and training stuff.
I think this 2024 Pro Art series is the best ASUS has done, now having a ProArt Case and GPU to go with the motherboard just tops it off. I do wished they made a mini itx case and motherboard for those who have Small Form Factor builds. But oh well
Just pulled the plug on this board.. Thank you for this thorough review sir. However, I do not see the second video on your channel.. Can you please add the second video link to your description?
My favorite part might also be my least favorite part. The 13900k gets warm, to say the least. Is this a trend we won’t be able to avoid going forward? If so, it’s going to change a lot of builds in the future. Lots of AIOs and larger cases with room for bigger AIOs. Performance is king though. The 13900k definitely has it.
Great video, came to all the same conclusions about the board after a couple of weeks of tireless research. Had I seen your vid first I would have saved myself all the trouble!!! haha. I have to say, as a macuser and first time builder, the extensive io makes this a great board, I can share thunderbolt drives with my macs. FWIW I went with a Fractal Design case
"I bought so much cool stuff, I couldn't afford a pen or pencil as a pointer, so forgive me I picked up this twig from under my spruce tree." 🤣 Sorry, I had to razz you. Good build, good walk through.
You're actually using 4.0 at 8x at the highest with the 4090, which is PCIe 3.0 x16 speeds which is more than fine, no card at the moment right now can actually do PCIe 5.0, it's an almost useless overkill futureproofing feature for marketing right now, PCIe 5.0 SSDs have come out but they're at 2x to save you lanes. The displayport cable is for the DP in on the motherboard allowing display output via thunderbolt, so by interesting setup you mean using displayport through USB-C/thunderbolt, then yes. You mentioned the motherboard can do 7200 but I don't think it will do it with 4 sticks of ram. That part should've been mentioned. Overall a good overview but I recommend viewers to do their own research as well if possible.
Nice video and board 🔥 😍 I find a lot of people don't read the manually fully or at all. Since I have gotten my kids into pc gaming and building/upgrading their own systems, I try to teach them to read the manual. You are right, you don't know all what your specific board can do unless you read the manual 😉 💜
I do love the motherboard, but I'm gonna have to go with the ram. I used the ddr4 version you recommended, and it's made a crazy difference. So I can't wait until I can go to the ddr5 platform.
8 sata ports is nice, asus cut down sata ports from 6 down to 4 on a bunch of their z790 boards, this board is probably the cheapest asus z790 board that has at least 6.
I liked this video because I really love how Asus focuses more on its user base of content creators and gives them a chance to unleash their creativity.
Hello, Thanks for very good video. Where the ProArt_Z790-CREATOR_WIFI on board battery is located? I am experiencing a situation in which in every AC disconnection (unplug) there is no display and clear RTC is needed.
There’s not many videos on this motherboard but this is good. This is the one I’m picking up along with the Asus pro art 4070 ti gpu. Mainly for photography and possible video later. Still deciding on ram
@@DaPoets DDR5 wit compatibility has been questioned in quite a few reviews. I’ve decided to stick with 2 but xx MHz?? It’s the same for my daughters gaming/streaming build
With the PCIe5 cards unavailable on the market,,, the Z790 will run PCIe4 but, the first slot for PCIe 5 is bifurcated 1x16 and 2x8x8. The Pcie5 is dedicated to the graphics but they claim a gen 4 video card will share memory in the 2x8x8 config. Can you tell me,, it sounds like the video card 'must' be in for this 2x8x8 split in order to utilize that second x8 lane for actual CPU storage. Is that the case can you clarify?~ The other PCIe gen 4 slots are much harder to determine the proper configuration for a raid. Slot 4 is a sata drive and there is a special config to use that drive which eliminates other drives. Other than the slot 1 PCIe 5 , what other (2) slots can be used for two different NVMe M.2 gen4 drives(one for OPs and one for orchestral samples. I am hoping there are at least 2 drive internal for these uses???
Hello and welcome. Great video! I have one question for you, do these 4 DDR5 RAM sticks work in XMP mode or is there still a problem and only dual channel works?
They work perfectly fine in XMP. 64GB is easy in XMP for DDR5-6000. It's when you get towards 128GB that things start to get tricky and greatly depends on the lottery quality of your CPU.
@@DaPoets Thank you very much for your reply. So if I put 4 sticks of RAM 16GB ddr5 5600 MHz into this board, I can expect that with XMP enabled they will work stably at slightly higher clock speeds, such as 6000 or more?
I'm running 128gb ddr5 4800 on the z690 of this board. Their virtually the same after asus released the firmware allowing for better stability in terns of ddr5 ram. It's why I won't update to the 790 proart because coming from the z690 proart you don't get anything worth the difference in price
I'm not sure if this is true😉. The latest applications and games are already taking advantage of DDR's potential, and future ones will do so even more. Of course, it all depends on what applications you use@@GoldenTeeTV
@@VankillaVanilin terms of z690 vs. Z790 ProArt wifi the only difference is the Z790 has 1 PCIE 4 x16 slot where the Z690 has 1 PCIE 3 x16 slot. They have the same PCIE 5 slots, same ram and capacity, same everything. Unless I missed something then I don't see a reason to go to the ProArt z790. As for ram speed I in the real world do not experience a difference between 4800 vs. 6000 on my DDR5 modules . With that said after doing some more research it does show that gaming as of late does benefit from it. I'm talking DDR5 4800 vs DDR5 5200 or 6000. Not DDR4 vs DDR5. That's a huge bandwidth difference. But unless you have the CPU with enough cores the difference is minimal. But yes I will say you're right I'm terms of ram speed even when your at the top like 4800, 6000, 7200. I just don't experience much of a difference when in CAD or CD4 or CC....

Hi, I just bought ASUS ProArt Z790 CREATOR WIFI for 14900K but I'm unsure about RAM. Can you help me out by providing advice if I don't do any XMP & install 32GB X 4 stick total of 128GB RAM, what would be the bus speed then if considering 14900k & advise which RAM to buy, and what combination?
I am looking to maybe swap out my AIO for a Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance with the Side ARGB strips. Would those be able to connect to the connectors shown on page 1-2, item numbers 11 or 12? (also on page 1-16)
Curious if anyone else has ran into this. I build my new rig yesterday, spent 12 hours on it only because it kept getting stuck on the green light and wouldn’t post to BIOS screen. The board would keep going through its normal boot cycle(red, orange, white) then got stuck on green and no display on the monitor. Monitor would show its getting signal, but no display. Tried different monitors, HDMI&DP cables. Even tried onboard graphics while disconnecting the GPU. Rebuilt the entire PC 3 times just to be sure things were built correctly. Still nothing changed. Tried booting with 1 stick of ram, nothing. Tried booting without M.2, nothing. Even tried booting with a M.2 with windows already installed, nothing. Did BIOS flashback update. Nothing. Spoke with ASUS and they were dumb founded. Parts are as follows: Intel i7 13700k ASUS Strix 3070 ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator Wifi: NZXT Kraken Z53 G.

@@mpers be prepared to do an RMA. ASUS made me do one to send in for repair or replacement. They do not give an option for refund or exchange. They also will have you pay to have the item shipping back to them. 7-10 business days. Then they have 7-10 business days to resolve the issue or give you a replacement. My MOBO just went back to them yesterday. I’ll update here once I hear from ASUS.
@@StefanWiesendanger ASUS ended up sending me a refurbished warranty replacement. Thankfully its been fine since. Crazy thing is my CPU went bad as well. I just had awful luck with MOBO and CPU. ASUS replaced the MOBO, Intel replaced the CPU, so all is well now.. knock on wood
Thanks for the review! What about memory stability z690 vs z790? That would make the z790 worth the extra $$$. I've been avoiding DDR5 motherboards because DDR5 is unstable at 128 Gigs of ram. Does the z790 board's new advertised AEMP II memory technology solve that? As an After Effects user I'd love to see a memory stability test with 128 gigs of ram at different speeds and settings. Thank you!
Z790 boards have improvements (especially ASUS boards) to allow for more stable DDR5. Kingston at CES showed their ram at 128GB 6000 w/ 4 sticks. Check out my video on that.
I'm currently on the z690 with 128gb of ram stable. They have released a few firmware updates making the z690 and z790 almost identical so I won't be going to the 790. But yeah in the beginning it was a nightmare but asus provided me beta firmware until eventually they had it stable which is the firmware you can download now. However, I am using 128gb at 4800ghz since I see no difference in anything faster but for power and heat use for my type of work which is editing, rendering and vfx
Great review, I was blown away by that 4tb NVMe, with insane ram cpu and storage I think it’s only right to put a 4090 in the build ! Also I bursted out laughing at 06:30 when u just threw the CD 😂😂
Thanks for the most detailed explanation video for the ASUS ProArt Z790. I am looking for the most featured gaming motherboard for a specific budget. Comparing this ProArt to the maximus extreme, I found the only two differences are the maximum RAM OC "7200 vs 7800" and sound codecs of rltk S1220A vs supremeFX, is that really a big difference ?to make ProArt half of the maximus price, or am I missing something?? Thanks
The ProArt Z790 is a creator motherboard due to it's 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10GbE & 2.5GbE. If you don't need those specific features then you are wasting your money. Any modern motherboard can handle gaming as that's very easy, it's content creation that can press a motherboard due to long rendering times which will have a CPU/GPU on full load where games typically won't.
@@DaPoets Thank you very much for quick response As a network eng. I actually considered it just because it's the cheapest with10GbE 😆, but I will use it for hard gaming too, so I guess from your answer that its specs can best utilize my 13900kf CPU, and RTX 4090 GPU. Or are there better high end motherboards that can better utilize my CPU and GPU?
I am planning to build a system with this motherboard but the RTX 4090 gpu I am planning to use is not available currently. Can I use an older gpu which has PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface in the meantime?
Frustrated I upgraded my computer to PC Win 11 with a ASUS Pro-Art 790. The MB supports TB 3 but how do I connect my Apollo Twin X with TB2 ?. I tried the Apple TB 3 to TB 2 but my MB doesn't see my Apollo. ( yes TB is set to ON in the BIOS ) Any help would be appreciated
I'm interested in getting this board but I'm wondering what's the point of the DisplayPort-Input to Thunderbolt 4 output? Why not just connect the graphics card directly to the color accurate display via DisplayPort? I've never owned a color accurate display before so I don't understand why this is useful.
You can daisy chain thunderbolt 4 cables to multiple devices and displays. 1 cable string to rule them all instead of a bunch of cables coming from your monitor to multiple devices.
My b760-creator d4 starts normal, then checks for failures (Q-LEDs), turns off by itself and then starts again. Is it normal? It's my first Asus computer. Are Those steps correct? or Is there a problem?
Can you create a NAS inside your tower with enough hard drives inside your case. I plan to use this motherboard inside a Lian Li Evo tower? Newbie here, but I have watched tons of videos, which unfortunately just create more questions, in a good way of course, but makes for much confusion. I have heard the term RAID many times, but no one seems to touch on that subject as a possibility inside your existing tower. Any advice or direction would be extremely helpful. Thank you and have an awesome day!
Hello nice video. I have the same board and CPU. I also wondered what the 6 power pins near the front USB-C port were for, so thank you for covering the topic. Instead I would like to ask you about the CPU power supply: with my PSU I only have 8 pin cables instead in the Proart Z790 there are 8+4 but my power supply (Seasonic Prime GX1000) only has 8 pin cables and I have not connected the cable from 4pin on the board. Can this be a problem? Thank you :)
@@DaPoets Hello thank you very much! How could I fix and also connect these 4 power pins on the CPU? Having such a system and not exploiting it 100% in my opinion is a real shame. Thanks again :)
@@SimoneCamela I wouldn't worry about it. If you're not sure about power supply issues like this then overclocking is something you need to learn a lot about first
Do you have stabily issues with that build? I'm using the same combo since few months, changed all my components and still having terrible bugs such as most of my programs closing themselves. If someone could give me stable BIOS settings for this mobo it would save my life!
I purchased this board and the Kingston 4TB NVMe drive. Put it all together and Windows absolutely will not install. Called Asus and was told the board does not support that drive. Did you install a Linux distro or something? If you installed Windows, how did you do it?
im thinking on getting the i7 13700k with 32fb ddr5 rtx 4070ti still not sure which cooler tho i want the pc for music production and gaming . right now i use a thunderbolt card pcie . but i would like a native connector to avoid any compatibility issues.
This MOBO does not supply either USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 type C module or the 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 2.0 modules. Where do you purchase them? You state at 18:25 that by plugging in the atx 12v power, that the adjacent front panel port is now enabled to supply the Type C module in the front panel case as a 3.2 Gen 2x2 (my case is a Lancool III)? No other connections needed? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying? Thank you for your reply.
Can you let me know if the motherboard exhibits any coil whine? Either under load or maybe a faint buzzing which modulates in the background with system activity and present most if not all the time (can be caused by c-states). Can maybe someone run Aida64 copy memory test and latency/ Prime95, Cinebench r23 to see if any of those induce coil whine? I have Gigabyte Z790 Master, which is a fabulous board but has coil whine as described and i read that Asus Maximus Hero is the same... so how is it with ProArt? Many thanks
if it fits it sits. depends on the heat sink. Many you can remove to just use the motherboard heatsink. Performance will be similar unless it's a gen 5 PCIe NVMe
Honestly I hate this thing running the same everything you ha e and get blue screens and failed flashbacks, havnt been able to work for a week now because im dealing with this cancer. GG.
The reality is, even hard-core video editors won't see any difference between Gen 4 and Gen 5. You can raid Gen 4 to get faster than Gen 5 speeds if you want very easily on this board.
Can the ASUS Proart Z790 use the newest 48GB memory sticks? I want to run 2x48GB (96GB) in only 2 of the 4 available memory slots if that is possible. I know the MSI Z790 Godlike motherboard can do this configuration but can all Z790 MB´s use these new DDR5 memory sticks?
4090s barely max out PCIe 3.0 in average use so the industry had no reason to come out w/ PCIe 5.0 GPUs this round. You will start to see some at the end of 2023 into mid 2024.

The board would keep going through its normal boot cycle(red, orange, white) then got stuck on green and no display on the monitor. Monitor would show its getting signal, but no display. Tried different monitors, HDMI&DP cables. Even tried onboard graphics while disconnecting the GPU. Rebuilt the entire PC 3 times just to be sure things were built correctly. Still nothing changed. Tried booting with 1 stick of ram, nothing. Tried booting without M.2, nothing. Even tried booting with a M.2 with windows already installed, nothing. Did BIOS flashback update. Nothing. Spoke with ASUS and they were dumb founded.
Parts are as follows:
Intel i7 13700k
ASUS Strix 3070
ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator Wifi:
NZXT Kraken Z53
G. Skill Trident Z RGB DDR5 64GB
WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X SSD
Lian Li SL120 V2 fans
Silverstone SX1000 PSU
I am having the same exact issue!!!!
@@mpers be prepared to do an RMA. ASUS made me do one to send in for repair or replacement. They do not give an option for refund or exchange. They also will have you pay to have the item shipping back to them. 7-10 business days. Then they have 7-10 business days to resolve the issue or give you a replacement. My MOBO just went back to them yesterday. I’ll update here once I hear from ASUS.
@@crimsontheorie7190Did you (or ASUS) got this resolved eventually?
@@StefanWiesendanger ASUS ended up sending me a refurbished warranty replacement. Thankfully its been fine since. Crazy thing is my CPU went bad as well. I just had awful luck with MOBO and CPU. ASUS replaced the MOBO, Intel replaced the CPU, so all is well now.. knock on wood
@@crimsontheorie7190 Ok that’s good to hear, thanks for getting back!
Thanks for the review! What about memory stability z690 vs z790? That would make the z790 worth the extra $$$. I've been avoiding DDR5 motherboards because DDR5 is unstable at 128 Gigs of ram. Does the z790 board's new advertised AEMP II memory technology solve that? As an After Effects user I'd love to see a memory stability test with 128 gigs of ram at different speeds and settings. Thank you!
Z790 boards have improvements (especially ASUS boards) to allow for more stable DDR5. Kingston at CES showed their ram at 128GB 6000 w/ 4 sticks. Check out my video on that.
I'm currently on the z690 with 128gb of ram stable. They have released a few firmware updates making the z690 and z790 almost identical so I won't be going to the 790. But yeah in the beginning it was a nightmare but asus provided me beta firmware until eventually they had it stable which is the firmware you can download now. However, I am using 128gb at 4800ghz since I see no difference in anything faster but for power and heat use for my type of work which is editing, rendering and vfx
Great review, I was blown away by that 4tb NVMe, with insane ram cpu and storage I think it’s only right to put a 4090 in the build !
Also I bursted out laughing at 06:30 when u just threw the CD 😂😂
Nas? When that video coming out I built my first pc 3 months and didn’t know nun bout dat
shortly
Thanks for the most detailed explanation video for the ASUS ProArt Z790. I am looking for the most featured gaming motherboard for a specific budget. Comparing this ProArt to the maximus extreme, I found the only two differences are the maximum RAM OC "7200 vs 7800" and sound codecs of rltk S1220A vs supremeFX, is that really a big difference ?to make ProArt half of the maximus price, or am I missing something??
Thanks
The ProArt Z790 is a creator motherboard due to it's 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10GbE & 2.5GbE. If you don't need those specific features then you are wasting your money. Any modern motherboard can handle gaming as that's very easy, it's content creation that can press a motherboard due to long rendering times which will have a CPU/GPU on full load where games typically won't.
@@DaPoets Thank you very much for quick response
As a network eng. I actually considered it just because it's the cheapest with10GbE 😆, but I will use it for hard gaming too, so I guess from your answer that its specs can best utilize my 13900kf CPU, and RTX 4090 GPU. Or are there better high end motherboards that can better utilize my CPU and GPU?
Does iGPU out thru HDMI port only or TB4 ports also? Thanks
I'm looking to purchase this. Can I fit 2x 4090s and 2x NVME Drives. It seems that they might interfere with one another?
Of course you can, but it depends on what 4090s as there is no standard size. Check your measurements and compare.
Link to electric screwdriver you're using? 😊

@@DaPoets thank you and great vid, I'll be using this mobo in my next build. It's been ten years since I've built a comp.
I am planning to build a system with this motherboard but the RTX 4090 gpu I am planning to use is not available currently. Can I use an older gpu which has PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface in the meantime?
Frustrated I upgraded my computer to PC Win 11 with a ASUS Pro-Art 790. The MB supports TB 3 but how do I connect my Apollo Twin X with TB2 ?. I tried the Apple TB 3 to TB 2 but my MB doesn't see my Apollo. ( yes TB is set to ON in the BIOS ) Any help would be appreciated
but the bad thing it supports only 128gb ram...its said at this price point
It supports up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM.
I'm interested in getting this board but I'm wondering what's the point of the DisplayPort-Input to Thunderbolt 4 output? Why not just connect the graphics card directly to the color accurate display via DisplayPort? I've never owned a color accurate display before so I don't understand why this is useful.
You can daisy chain thunderbolt 4 cables to multiple devices and displays. 1 cable string to rule them all instead of a bunch of cables coming from your monitor to multiple devices.
Do you have links to the rest of the build?
any down side to using this as a base for a gaming pc? i want thunderbolt AND 10gbps, i also do a lot of file processing and software development
None.
My b760-creator d4 starts normal, then checks for failures (Q-LEDs), turns off by itself and then starts again. Is it normal? It's my first Asus computer. Are Those steps correct? or Is there a problem?
Can I plug the rtx 4090 to the PCIe 4.0 slot considering it only has 4 lanes? Will the card's performance be dramatically reduced?
Can you create a NAS inside your tower with enough hard drives inside your case. I plan to use this motherboard inside a Lian Li Evo tower? Newbie here, but I have watched tons of videos, which unfortunately just create more questions, in a good way of course, but makes for much confusion. I have heard the term RAID many times, but no one seems to touch on that subject as a possibility inside your existing tower. Any advice or direction would be extremely helpful. Thank you and have an awesome day!
Watch videos on building a TrueNAS setup. My NAS has 6 HDD with an 8700K CPU, 16GB RAM, and 10GB ethernet.
@@DaPoets thank you, I will do that. Have an awesome day!
Hi I have the b760-creator motherboard intel 14th gen ready can I use 1gpu or 2 ? Is it
I have basically this same set up and something I am still confused on is the top CPU power connectors. Am I supposed to plug in both or either/or?
Yes both are best for power stability
@@DaPoets Thanks! just plugged in the other one.
Hello nice video. I have the same board and CPU. I also wondered what the 6 power pins near the front USB-C port were for, so thank you for covering the topic.
Instead I would like to ask you about the CPU power supply: with my PSU I only have 8 pin cables instead in the Proart Z790 there are 8+4 but my power supply (Seasonic Prime GX1000) only has 8 pin cables and I have not connected the cable from 4pin on the board. Can this be a problem? Thank you :)
As long as you're not overclocking you're perfectly fine
@@DaPoets Hello thank you very much! How could I fix and also connect these 4 power pins on the CPU? Having such a system and not exploiting it 100% in my opinion is a real shame. Thanks again :)
@@SimoneCamela I wouldn't worry about it. If you're not sure about power supply issues like this then overclocking is something you need to learn a lot about first
Do you have stabily issues with that build? I'm using the same combo since few months, changed all my components and still having terrible bugs such as most of my programs closing themselves. If someone could give me stable BIOS settings for this mobo it would save my life!
I purchased this board and the Kingston 4TB NVMe drive. Put it all together and Windows absolutely will not install. Called Asus and was told the board does not support that drive. Did you install a Linux distro or something? If you installed Windows, how did you do it?
Very odd because it just installed as normal. Should be no reason why it won't work. See if your bios needs to be updated.
2:35 😂
how is the power phases delivery on this motherboard? do you think it can handle gaming too?
im thinking on getting the i7 13700k with 32fb ddr5 rtx 4070ti still not sure which cooler tho i want the pc for music production and gaming . right now i use a thunderbolt card pcie . but i would like a native connector to avoid any compatibility issues.
Gaming is far easier on motherboards than content creation.
This MOBO does not supply either USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 type C module or the 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 2.0 modules. Where do you purchase them? You state at 18:25 that by plugging in the atx 12v power, that the adjacent front panel port is now enabled to supply the Type C module in the front panel case as a 3.2 Gen 2x2 (my case is a Lancool III)? No other connections needed? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying? Thank you for your reply.
You need a compatible case or update your current case w/ that capability. Easy mod if you're familiar w/ modding a PC.
For cables check moddiy
@@vlefteris Thanks
@@DaPoets Thanks
Can you let me know if the motherboard exhibits any coil whine? Either under load or maybe a faint buzzing which modulates in the background with system activity and present most if not all the time (can be caused by c-states).
Can maybe someone run Aida64 copy memory test and latency/ Prime95, Cinebench r23 to see if any of those induce coil whine?
I have Gigabyte Z790 Master, which is a fabulous board but has coil whine as described and i read that Asus Maximus Hero is the same... so how is it with ProArt?
Many thanks
That can happen with any GPU, PSU, Motherboard. It's random. But no not on mine.
If i have a samsung 980 ssd with a heateink already, should i place the one that came with the motherboard back on top too?
if it fits it sits. depends on the heat sink. Many you can remove to just use the motherboard heatsink. Performance will be similar unless it's a gen 5 PCIe NVMe
Honestly I hate this thing running the same everything you ha e and get blue screens and failed flashbacks, havnt been able to work for a week now because im dealing with this cancer. GG.
Wow! Are you sure it's the board? Mine has been flawless and running 128GB of ram at DDR5-6000 speeds...
Ports ports ports galore
What are the advantages of having those display ports?
passthrough for Thunderbolt 4 features
If you put a pcie4 m.2 drive on the top slot will that reduce the gpu lanes from 16 to 8? I want to avoid reducing my gpu performance
no, and this is PCIe Gen 5 so even at 8x it won't matter.
Hey! Did any one have problem with 4 Rams?
Trying to beat it with a stick 😂😂
Thanx. Disapointing this board doesn't support Gen 5 NVMe
The reality is, even hard-core video editors won't see any difference between Gen 4 and Gen 5. You can raid Gen 4 to get faster than Gen 5 speeds if you want very easily on this board.
Dont be disappointed... its not worth it trust me
@@DaPoets True
Ahhhhh
does it affect if u game on this instead?
Can the ASUS Proart Z790 use the newest 48GB memory sticks?
I want to run 2x48GB (96GB) in only 2 of the 4 available memory slots if that is possible.
I know the MSI Z790 Godlike motherboard can do this configuration but can all Z790 MB´s use these new DDR5 memory sticks?
You will have to contact Asus to see if they have validated this RAM
Core i9-13900k with DDR5-6000?
I read it supports DDR5 upto 5600.
Can anyone tell if Core i9-13900k really works with DDR5-6000 without any problem?
Anything faster than stated is an overclock so your results will vary
i don’t think any of the 4090s support pcie 5.0 yet i’m pretty sure it’s just pcie 4.0
4090s barely max out PCIe 3.0 in average use so the industry had no reason to come out w/ PCIe 5.0 GPUs this round. You will start to see some at the end of 2023 into mid 2024.
Rtx 4090 does not work on PCIe 5.0 O.o so work on PCIe 4.0 x8 will be a 5% slower than on x16
Does anyone have a case that they would recommend for this motherboard?
It fits all standard cases so you pick a case based on your own style. O11 Dynamic EVO is a favorite of mine if you're water cooling.
@@DaPoets Thanks... I ended up going with the Phankets NV7. Doing the build right now - so far i'm really liking the case.
Is core i9 14 gen good for this ?
Indeed it is
