Wish there were more Z690 vs Z790 comparisons like this! I want to point out that the Z690 had a whole year of use in the wild so it has all the BIOS updates and manufacturers' tech supports have resolved more of the bugs than with Z790. Your videos helped save me from blowing money on Z790 and DDR5 - I have a higher level DDR4 board now because I had extra money in my budget from using the older tech. Thank you!
I have the Z790 board. It's pretty awesome, working with 4x16GB 7200MHz DDR5, i9-13900KF and the MSI GeForce GTX 4090 Gaming Trio 24G. This thing is fast and stable AF. As a full time professional photographer and videomaker I needed this. Having it for a month now: loving the performance.
@@jgvtc559 Could be any reason. I've done it before on a different brand board because I overlooked the size of my air cooler which prevented my high profile 2x32GB sticks of ram from sitting in their recommended slots. There were no low profile 32GB ram sticks in stock at my local dealer to replace them so I bought 4x16GB low profile ram sticks to compensate which just cleared my oversized cooler. Moving forward about a year, I could've moved back to 2x32GB ram and sold the 4x16 sticks once I purchased my AIO but instead chose not to as they were already installed in my mid-tower build and worked just fine. I sold my 32's to a friend who purchased an E-ATX board.

Great info. I have heard that, with z790, if you have an m.2 in the top pcie slot, it will cause the bandwidth of the your graphics card to reduce from 16 to 8 lanes, slightly reducing it's performance? Is this true? If so, might it be better for a creator to go with z690 - considering that GPU performance is more important than ram speed for video editing?
i can say this happen to me on my aorus x570 xtreme motherboard. i have 3 2tb m2 pci 4.0 drives. i had all 3 filled. i have my 6900xt and 5950x. I notice a drop in performance. then i removed the 1st m2 drive and put it in the second m2 slot , the 2nd one to the 3rd slot. so now i have just 2 drives installed now. I had noticed a big jump in performance and stuttering stopped as well. so i can say having that that using that top m2 drive with a high gpu will cause performance loss.
The one aspect that you can't see whether it is different or not are the PCB layer architecture. The difference there could be what allows the faster ram. It is something that is nearly impossible to check unless companies release that info which I don't see them ever doing.
I was looking forward to your review of the z790 ProArt and I'm disappointed because you basically said "go watch the z690 review". The problem is that review is not accurate at all for the z790. For example, you say there that the M.2 driives and the SATA drives are totally independent, but on the z790 there are some important differences. Refer to the "Connectors with shard bandwidth" page in the z790 ProArt manual and maybe (hopefully!) you do a full review of the z790, which I know many users were waiting for. Thank you for all your work!
Mine had issues after three weeks. Red and Amber LEDS's started flashing. Managed to get it to boot and it worked fine during the day (I was able to turn on and off fine) the next morning the issue repeated itself. This repeats every morning, currently back with Asus for investigation. Interestingly, the CMOS battery is not visible as it is located next to the HDMI ports under the plastic cover. You have to remove the mobo to undo the screws at the back of the board to remove the plastic cover which reveals the battery. However, Asus support has told me the battery is not designed to be removed? So what happens when the battery runs out? :( Update: Asus support have issued me an update by way of an apology and retracted their original statement and have confirmed the battery is removable...... I'm still awaiting the result of their testing the board.
Nice review. Really wish motherboards would focus on PCIe 5.0 M.2 over the PCIe slot the GPU will be going in. By the time GPUs saturate PCIe 4.0 these boards will be very old, while drives are already being designed to use that bandwidth.
The issue isn’t the motherboard vendors the issue is the pcie lanes directly into the cpu itself. Alder lake and raptor lake only have 16 lanes of pcie5 bandwidth and 4 direct lanes of pcie4. So motherboard manufacturers are restricted from the start.
I read an Amazon comment from a customer that said : "4 memory slots just won't work! It doesn't even boot with 128GB of RAM, despite Asus saying it supports 128GB of RAM! I've contacted Asus support and they tell me they haven't tested this motherboard with 4 RAM modules, so they can't offer any support." So as I need 128Go, I'm wondering. Have you tested ? Does it work or not ?
Can anyone tell me where the bios battery is located on the motherboard? What part of the motherboard is it on? (ASUS ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard)
Sentence of the day, "Exactly the Same". I liked the review, it bothers me when details like this are missing from the official site. I've been looking at the X570 creator for a server board but there is so SOO much missing from the documentation and no one has done a review for it as a server board to answer my questions. I know one other person in the same situation, we're both waiting for each other to buy it and tell the other the answers to our questions haha.
YES!! I kinda knew they were very similar. But I'm gonna go for the Z790 just for the extra gen 4 PCI slot for extra m.2 on my DAW built. Thank you 👍🏻.
I'm not running a graphics card, I'm kinda hoping the built in graphics of the 13900k will be enough for a DAW system (Recording music) nothing gfx intensive.
Hmm, you should expand your channel to a large segment of PC builds market that is being greatly overlooked and under served. The Traders (Stock, Futures, Forex, and Crypto Traders) all need and build or have custom built for them high grade PC’s. The ASUS Z790 ProArt Creator boards are about the perfect for traders. High speed stable performance with fast internet connections on the board everything we need. The only thing different in our builds and needs from your Creators builds and needs is the high dollar high heat graphics boards, we don’t need them, we need very stable and reliable enterprise graphics boards and the best I know of is the Nvidia T1000 8GB which has 4-DisplayPorts able to run four 4K monitors at once with no issues and low heat. It would be nice if Intel and ASUS would get together and design the future Z890 ProArts able to support 256GB DDR5 or even DDR6 at 6000 or even 8800. Another thing Traders and Creator builds have in common is we don’t need or care for the RGB gaming crap, we need fast stable systems that are quite too. So would be easy for your to include Trader builds and optimal components for our builds in your vids which would increase your views and subscribers. Thanks and looking forward to your next vids.
I purchased and rebuilt my computer with this Mobo and I have a question. Can you, or should you keep the wifi turned on while using the ethernet connection? And by the way, thank you for pointing me toward this Mobo. I am very happy with it's performance. The Noctua cooler, I thinks works very well, as it maintains the CPU temp at about 80 degrees Celcius. Looking forward to your reply.
Does Z790 support 128 GB with XMP profiles? I have a Z690 and I can't get my 4 Dims of 32 GB Kingston Fury DDR5 RAM to run at 5600 MT/s without a random blue screen, they only run at a "stable" 4800 MT/s (because in games, the PC crashes) . The only way to run at 5,600MT/s is by placing only 2 dims, that is, 64GB of Ram. With only 2 dims installed I have no problem.
Hi! Great channel. Love the detailed reviews. Question: how would the ASUS Z790 ROG Maximus Formula rank against the Z790 Pro Art for Creative purposes? While it loses the 10 Megabit internet and 2 SATA ports, the Gaming Motherboard (Maximus Formula) can hold more memory (196 GB) and has an extra USB 3.2 port? Looking for the best specs creator board but for a WHITE build. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for the chance to get my new W10 OS. I fixed my motherboard and lost my W10 key, so I was able to replace it with the one you allowed me to buy with your discount for $16, again thanks!
I suggest the GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Master above the ProArt. It has better IO on the back than Asus and is a little cheaper. It's an E-ATX board, but has almost same size like a regular ATX board.
@@matthewwalsh2530 Was not aware of that but these are some very legit points from a professional standpoint. Gigabyte offers, for consumers I guess, a free 4 year warranty if you register your product btw.
@freejack159 I'm wondering between these two (Asus ProArt Z790 / Gigabyte AORUS Master Z790), but it's not so obvious decision, very hard choise to be honest and price in my country is exactly the same. For me IO on the back is much superior on Asus than on Gigabyte (there is HDMI 2.1, two DP 1.4, one more LAN 2,5Gb and two Thunderbolt ports and more audio outs (not important for me) on ASUS, on Gigabyte there is no HDMI at all, DP is 1.2 and no Thunderbolt) On the other hand I suppose there is better power control for the CPU on Gigabyte, but i dont know how much it could influence overall stability. Furthermore m.2 cooling with double sided thermopads on Gigabyte looks nicer than Asus where we can mount cooling only from one side of SSD.
Great video, I like your topics! Does it have a 10GB lan or not? You have to mention that the thunderbolt is actually not 40GB, because it is split and then resulting into 10GB at the end! This is in general an issue that asus is aware and didnt fix since z690. Not sure if it really makes sense then to invest such an amount if they sell u smth that doesnt deliver the performance you are paying for.

Hey I don't know if you know but for the ASUS ProArt Wifi Z690 you cannot update the BIOS without also having access to a 12th gen CPU. I should correct myself; you CAN update the BIOS without a CPU installed, however, the BIOS requires Intel ME to be updated before you update the BIOS and for that you need to be running Windows on the machine first. The effect is therefore that you need the system up and running with a supported CPU from the 12th gen before updating the BIOS to add support for 13th gen. My guess is that most or at least some people who buy this might not have a 12th gen CPU lying around. I should say that there are threads on the ASUS ROG forums discussing workarounds for this, but ASUS does not support any of these methods and if you decide to go for one of them, to quote the support tech I talked to, "you are on your own". If you are lucky and the motherboard you bought is from a later batch that has already been preinstalled with a later BIOS supporting the 13th gen CPUs out of the box, then this isn't an issue, but I don't know if ASUS has actually shipped any Z690 with a BIOS supporting 13th gen directly from the factory. I would not take a chance on it anyway. Another alternative is to ask your retailer if they can help you with the BIOS update before they ship the motherboard. Just know that it is not as easy as popping in a USB with a BIOS update. For me, I got an older BIOS with my ProArt Z690 and I opted to get the cheapest 12th gen CPU I could get to use for the Intel ME update before swapping for the actual CPU I intended to run with the system. It's still a lot cheaper than going for the Z790 edition in my case, but a lot more work, so it might not be worth spending the extra time for some.
Thanks for the review, I've been very curious about this. Can we see benchmarks?! I've seen benchmarks online that say Intel 13th Gen CPU's are 25% less powerful on z690, and some benchmarks that show virtually no difference- and would love to confirm this.
One of the things I feel like is being missed about this motherboard, and made me not go with it in a recent build, is it's lack of a 7 segment POST display. I think it is extremely important to have this on any system that is designed for any kind of work/production. I really don't understand why it is missing on Asus ProArt motherboards for LGA 1700 and I assume it is missing for the AMD equivalents. These do have diagnostic LEDs and I assume they still have beep codes, but who wants to deal with either of those when a POST display can be much faster, easier, and granular in what information it can give you when troubleshooting a system. The POST display is useful for overclocking, sure, but I would also argue that it is very important for people who's main machine is integral to making a living. I think more people should be talking about this because that is the best way to get Asus to add this feature to future motherboards. Also, I think you should review the w680 Asus motherboard since it also seems like a solid option for creators and might better fit some workstation needs and that motherboard basically has no UA-cam content.
Hello, Thanks for very good comparison. 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.
Thanks for the review. Been thinking of using this for my next build but considering the Gigabyte Aero G Z790 as well. A comparison would be a nice as they both target the creative market. Cheers
just wanted to thank you for this vid, helped me build my current build with nearly identical parts - fyi i just used your code for a win10 key also! thanks again from Syd
I was on the point of swapping to this from my ROG Z690 Hero in order to get the additional 10GbE port (instead ofthe expansion card I'd been using), but then realised that this comes at the cost of only having one internal USB3.2 Gen1 header... Solution: a second hand ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme and all is good with my i9-13900k hitting clocks I wouldn't have thought possible a few years ago on air!
Your vids rock! 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!
I have 128GB of Corsair Dominator (bought as 2 twin packs) on the Z790 - I let the board handle all the settings. Not run into any stability issues yet. It passed several passes of MemTest86, and a few renders / games work fine. Haven't really tested it more than that though.
All I really want to know from this comparison is which has the lowest DPC Latency. I hope that's something you'll start bringing to your comparisons as it's one of the most important hidden features that XMG are really hot on with these Asus boards.
If you connect this motherboard's USB 3.2 gen 2x2 front-panel header to a Lian Li O11D EVO's front-panel connector which is specified as "USB 3.1 Type C" what speed will the front-panel USB-C operate at? 20Gbps or 5Gbps? As far as I have been able to decipher the mechanical and electrical connectors should be the same with identical wiring between USB 3.1 gen 2 and USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and my logic would say that the connector is 'dumb' and the motherboard's capabilities should define the port speed, but it wouldn't be the first time my logic fails the reality check test. Also is there any power delivery limitations with the Lian Li's front-panel I/O cabling since the ProArt Z790 board can support up to 60W of PD charging?
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

For 20 bucks you get the button for the gpu and improved bios out of box. And expanded ddr5 speed compatibility? (or do they have the same once the 690 bios is updated?)
What is the function of Display Port (In)? I have a macbook pro 16 inch. Does it mean that I can just connect the TB3 to the TB4 USB-C slot and then connect a DP cable from the monitor to that motherboard board and it works?
? Is there a board that ticks all the z790 creator boxes but also has Gen 5 m.2 slot? Thanks to anyone that can help, also around the same price if possible.

Hi, I would like to know if ASUS Z790 memory certification topped at DDR5-7200 because DDR5-8000 was not yet available in time for the tests so they did not updated their certification specs so this motherboard can overclock to DDR5-8000 ?

I just built with the z790. Finished it yesterday. I’m setting it up today and so far I can’t get my Asus TUF gaming RTX 4080 to show up. I’m new, and kinda lost. First build and I went all out. Any ideas?
I'm curious, would the combo of Intel Core i9-13900K + ASUS ProArt Z790-CREATOR WIFI LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard + Crucial 64GB Desktop DDR5 5200 MHz + ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF Gaming Graphics Card, be a good idea for a build?
I have the same CPU/Mobo. 5600MHz ram though (not interested in overclocking). The main issue is that no reasonable cooler seems good enough to handle that CPU. I have a Corsair h170i and even then the CPU goes straight to 90+ degrees at full load. Avoid M.2 cards with integrated heatsinks.
@@Alex_Greu_de_gasit It depends on the M.2's heatsink 9:43 When he takes the mobo M.2 heatsinks off you can see a large square black standoff pad. They are meant to support the M.2. in the middle. And they didn't seem detachable to me. If your M.2 has an integrated heatsink (that covers the underside, not only the top), such as the Seagate FireCuda 530 (there is heatsink and non-heatsink version), then that square standoff MAY cause the drive not to lie flat... and it needs to lie flat to use the new Asus Q-Latch system to secure the M2 to the board. FireCuda instructions say the integrated heatsink is not meant to be removable and also says that because of the heatsink the FireCuda does not conform to M.2 specification (something a retailer may not mention). Other M.2 manufacturers may have removable heatsinks or heatsinks that conform to M2 specification and they might be fine... be sure before you buy, or be safe.
@@sherry8444 Thanks for pointing that out. I'm going for a Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink, which also covers the underside, as you said. But I checked the motherboard manual and at some point it says "For 2242, 2260 length - optional - Remove the M.2 rubber", so I guess those preinstalled standoff pads are removable. I trust the SSD manufacturer's heatsink rather than those on the ASUS motherboard, which look quite cheap.
Hey ive been searching everywhere for this comparison. would you please put z690pa z790pa comparison in the title or decription so ppl can find it easier ? Appreciate it, thank you 🤟
When I saw the price difference, it was only about $50 as of 1/15/23. Me personally, I don't really care about which one to use. I don't care about ddr5 memory. So I would likely use the z690 just so I can spend the $50 saving on ram.
it's crazy how this is probably the cheapest asus z790 board if you want 6 or more sata ports, all those cheaper f-gaming, a-gaming series boards cut down their 6 ports on z690 to 4 on the z790.

I was looking forward to your review of the z790 ProArt and I'm disappointed because you basically said "go watch the z690 review". The problem is that review is not accurate at all for the z790. For example, you say there that the M.2 driives and the SATA drives are totally independent, but on the z790 there are some important differences.

Mine had issues after three weeks. Red and Amber LEDS's started flashing. Managed to get it to boot and it worked fine during the day (I was able to turn on and off fine) the next morning the issue repeated itself. This repeats every morning, currently back with Asus for investigation. Interestingly, the CMOS battery is not visible as it is located next to the HDMI ports under the plastic cover. You have to remove the mobo to undo the screws at the back of the board to remove the plastic cover which reveals the battery. However, Asus support has told me the battery is not designed to be removed? So what happens when the battery runs out? :(
Update: Asus support have issued me an update by way of an apology and retracted their original statement and have confirmed the battery is removable...... I'm still awaiting the result of their testing the board.
Nice review. Really wish motherboards would focus on PCIe 5.0 M.2 over the PCIe slot the GPU will be going in. By the time GPUs saturate PCIe 4.0 these boards will be very old, while drives are already being designed to use that bandwidth.
The issue isn’t the motherboard vendors the issue is the pcie lanes directly into the cpu itself. Alder lake and raptor lake only have 16 lanes of pcie5 bandwidth and 4 direct lanes of pcie4. So motherboard manufacturers are restricted from the start.
And a single PCIE 4.0 SSD has yet to saturate the bandwidth due to the controller.
Me looking at 3.0 that only barely is dying out. Meanwhile current 4.0 isn't pushing the limits. Lets be real 3-6 years 5.0 might be in full force
@@9manny99 all about patience tbh; PCIE 6.0 and 7.0 probably are already in development 😂
@@RJBuildsPcs With that kind of silly logic of yours one should always wait with upgrading.
I read an Amazon comment from a customer that said : "4 memory slots just won't work! It doesn't even boot with 128GB of RAM, despite Asus saying it supports 128GB of RAM! I've contacted Asus support and they tell me they haven't tested this motherboard with 4 RAM modules, so they can't offer any support."
So as I need 128Go, I'm wondering. Have you tested ? Does it work or not ?
790 actually supports 196 GB of RAM...check the website (vs the box)
Can anyone tell me where the bios battery is located on the motherboard? What part of the motherboard is it on? (ASUS ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard)
It's under the plastic shroud that houses the i/o ports. It sits in between the 10G ethernet and HDMI port.
Sentence of the day, "Exactly the Same". I liked the review, it bothers me when details like this are missing from the official site. I've been looking at the X570 creator for a server board but there is so SOO much missing from the documentation and no one has done a review for it as a server board to answer my questions.
I know one other person in the same situation, we're both waiting for each other to buy it and tell the other the answers to our questions haha.
if you want 3 usb 2.0 headers the proart x570 is perfect. finding boards with 3 of these headers is kinda rare now.
Nice to know the difference, and a question, can I put i9 14900 on it?
YES!! I kinda knew they were very similar. But I'm gonna go for the Z790 just for the extra gen 4 PCI slot for extra m.2 on my DAW built. Thank you 👍🏻.
Well that extra PCIe will still run through the chipset unless you are willing to run the GPU at x8 instead of x16
@@cybyrd9615 At x8 PCIE gen 5? Because that’s equal to x16 PCIE 4.0 which is more than enough for any GPU.
I'm not running a graphics card, I'm kinda hoping the built in graphics of the 13900k will be enough for a DAW system (Recording music) nothing gfx intensive.
Hmm, you should expand your channel to a large segment of PC builds market that is being greatly overlooked and under served. The Traders (Stock, Futures, Forex, and Crypto Traders) all need and build or have custom built for them high grade PC’s. The ASUS Z790 ProArt Creator boards are about the perfect for traders. High speed stable performance with fast internet connections on the board everything we need. The only thing different in our builds and needs from your Creators builds and needs is the high dollar high heat graphics boards, we don’t need them, we need very stable and reliable enterprise graphics boards and the best I know of is the Nvidia T1000 8GB which has 4-DisplayPorts able to run four 4K monitors at once with no issues and low heat. It would be nice if Intel and ASUS would get together and design the future Z890 ProArts able to support 256GB DDR5 or even DDR6 at 6000 or even 8800. Another thing Traders and Creator builds have in common is we don’t need or care for the RGB gaming crap, we need fast stable systems that are quite too. So would be easy for your to include Trader builds and optimal components for our builds in your vids which would increase your views and subscribers. Thanks and looking forward to your next vids.
Only downside for me is that there is no S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) optical audio output since I have premium audio DAC
You said , good antennas .. how did you test these in particular and did you compare them? thanks
I purchased and rebuilt my computer with this Mobo and I have a question. Can you, or should you keep the wifi turned on while using the ethernet connection? And by the way, thank you for pointing me toward this Mobo. I am very happy with it's performance. The Noctua cooler, I thinks works very well, as it maintains the CPU temp at about 80 degrees Celcius. Looking forward to your reply.
Does Z790 support 128 GB with XMP profiles?
I have a Z690 and I can't get my 4 Dims of 32 GB Kingston Fury DDR5 RAM to run at 5600 MT/s without a random blue screen, they only run at a "stable" 4800 MT/s (because in games, the PC crashes) .
The only way to run at 5,600MT/s is by placing only 2 dims, that is, 64GB of Ram. With only 2 dims installed I have no problem.
Hi! Great channel. Love the detailed reviews. Question: how would the ASUS Z790 ROG Maximus Formula rank against the Z790 Pro Art for Creative purposes? While it loses the 10 Megabit internet and 2 SATA ports, the Gaming Motherboard (Maximus Formula) can hold more memory (196 GB) and has an extra USB 3.2 port? Looking for the best specs creator board but for a WHITE build. Thanks for your help!
Is this still worth it en 2023? Or is it better to wait for the next generation?
Great stuff. Thanks for keeping these reviews and comparisons coming!
Awesome, have you or are you going to do the best B4B creators laptop video?
Thank you for the chance to get my new W10 OS. I fixed my motherboard and lost my W10 key, so I was able to replace it with the one you allowed me to buy with your discount for $16, again thanks!
Glad I could help!
I suggest the GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Master above the ProArt. It has better IO on the back than Asus and is a little cheaper. It's an E-ATX board, but has almost same size like a regular ATX board.
@@matthewwalsh2530 Was not aware of that but these are some very legit points from a professional standpoint. Gigabyte offers, for consumers I guess, a free 4 year warranty if you register your product btw.
about the same price.
@freejack159 I'm wondering between these two (Asus ProArt Z790 / Gigabyte AORUS Master Z790), but it's not so obvious decision, very hard choise to be honest and price in my country is exactly the same. For me IO on the back is much superior on Asus than on Gigabyte (there is HDMI 2.1, two DP 1.4, one more LAN 2,5Gb and two Thunderbolt ports and more audio outs (not important for me) on ASUS, on Gigabyte there is no HDMI at all, DP is 1.2 and no Thunderbolt) On the other hand I suppose there is better power control for the CPU on Gigabyte, but i dont know how much it could influence overall stability. Furthermore m.2 cooling with double sided thermopads on Gigabyte looks nicer than Asus where we can mount cooling only from one side of SSD.
ProArt can handle a dual 4090 GPU setup (suprim hybrids). Great for rendering. Gigabyte can not!
been waiting for this vid
Excellent, honest and mind blowing review. You cleared my doubts.
No dual Thunderbolt though 😕. Is there a newer Intel version equivalent to the X670E?
Finaly! Thanks man
None of the influencers has mentioned a thing about the type and placement of the CMOS battery. The manual doesn't even show one. So where is it?
Great video, I like your topics! Does it have a 10GB lan or not? You have to mention that the thunderbolt is actually not 40GB, because it is split and then resulting into 10GB at the end! This is in general an issue that asus is aware and didnt fix since z690. Not sure if it really makes sense then to invest such an amount if they sell u smth that doesnt deliver the performance you are paying for.

Hey
I don't know if you know but for the ASUS ProArt Wifi Z690 you cannot update the BIOS without also having access to a 12th gen CPU. I should correct myself; you CAN update the BIOS without a CPU installed, however, the BIOS requires Intel ME to be updated before you update the BIOS and for that you need to be running Windows on the machine first. The effect is therefore that you need the system up and running with a supported CPU from the 12th gen before updating the BIOS to add support for 13th gen. My guess is that most or at least some people who buy this might not have a 12th gen CPU lying around.
I should say that there are threads on the ASUS ROG forums discussing workarounds for this, but ASUS does not support any of these methods and if you decide to go for one of them, to quote the support tech I talked to, "you are on your own".
If you are lucky and the motherboard you bought is from a later batch that has already been preinstalled with a later BIOS supporting the 13th gen CPUs out of the box, then this isn't an issue, but I don't know if ASUS has actually shipped any Z690 with a BIOS supporting 13th gen directly from the factory. I would not take a chance on it anyway.
Another alternative is to ask your retailer if they can help you with the BIOS update before they ship the motherboard.
Just know that it is not as easy as popping in a USB with a BIOS update.
For me, I got an older BIOS with my ProArt Z690 and I opted to get the cheapest 12th gen CPU I could get to use for the Intel ME update before swapping for the actual CPU I intended to run with the system. It's still a lot cheaper than going for the Z790 edition in my case, but a lot more work, so it might not be worth spending the extra time for some.
Thanks for the review, I've been very curious about this. Can we see benchmarks?! I've seen benchmarks online that say Intel 13th Gen CPU's are 25% less powerful on z690, and some benchmarks that show virtually no difference- and would love to confirm this.
There are no CPU performance difference on z690 vs z790 :)
Is Asus Rog z790 extreme also best for creators or not? For i9 13900k and rtx4090
One of the things I feel like is being missed about this motherboard, and made me not go with it in a recent build, is it's lack of a 7 segment POST display. I think it is extremely important to have this on any system that is designed for any kind of work/production. I really don't understand why it is missing on Asus ProArt motherboards for LGA 1700 and I assume it is missing for the AMD equivalents. These do have diagnostic LEDs and I assume they still have beep codes, but who wants to deal with either of those when a POST display can be much faster, easier, and granular in what information it can give you when troubleshooting a system. The POST display is useful for overclocking, sure, but I would also argue that it is very important for people who's main machine is integral to making a living. I think more people should be talking about this because that is the best way to get Asus to add this feature to future motherboards.
Also, I think you should review the w680 Asus motherboard since it also seems like a solid option for creators and might better fit some workstation needs and that motherboard basically has no UA-cam content.
I have a msi gtx 1080 gaming x , is it compatible with the z790 motherboards?
Hello, Thanks for very good comparison. 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.
Thanks for the review. Been thinking of using this for my next build but considering the Gigabyte Aero G Z790 as well. A comparison would be a nice as they both target the creative market. Cheers
Question about the flexing ILM. Z790 fixed the Z690 problem or not? Thanks in advance.
Which motherboard do y'all recommend for the 13700k. That isn't this expensive. I sometimes edit videos and I'm a gamer.
just wanted to thank you for this vid, helped me build my current build with nearly identical parts - fyi i just used your code for a win10 key also! thanks again from Syd
I was on the point of swapping to this from my ROG Z690 Hero in order to get the additional 10GbE port (instead ofthe expansion card I'd been using), but then realised that this comes at the cost of only having one internal USB3.2 Gen1 header... Solution: a second hand ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme and all is good with my i9-13900k hitting clocks I wouldn't have thought possible a few years ago on air!
Wouldn't a USB3.2 split extension cable solve the one internal header problem?
so are the proart motherboards better for content creation than say like tuf z790 mbs?
I am looking for Intel 12th gen motherboard it should be white and silver any suggestions?
Your vids rock! 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!
I have 128GB of Corsair Dominator (bought as 2 twin packs) on the Z790 - I let the board handle all the settings. Not run into any stability issues yet. It passed several passes of MemTest86, and a few renders / games work fine. Haven't really tested it more than that though.
You have it running at 6000mhz?
All I really want to know from this comparison is which has the lowest DPC Latency.
I hope that's something you'll start bringing to your comparisons as it's one of the most important hidden features that XMG are really hot on with these Asus boards.
Very nice video, man ! Totally appreciated
ITS HERE!!! :D YES! love all of it. Thanks mate.. you are the best...
I am going to buy this motherboard, does anyone have problems with this model?
But why no support for Gen 5 M2 SSD???????
If you connect this motherboard's USB 3.2 gen 2x2 front-panel header to a Lian Li O11D EVO's front-panel connector which is specified as "USB 3.1 Type C" what speed will the front-panel USB-C operate at? 20Gbps or 5Gbps? As far as I have been able to decipher the mechanical and electrical connectors should be the same with identical wiring between USB 3.1 gen 2 and USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and my logic would say that the connector is 'dumb' and the motherboard's capabilities should define the port speed, but it wouldn't be the first time my logic fails the reality check test. Also is there any power delivery limitations with the Lian Li's front-panel I/O cabling since the ProArt Z790 board can support up to 60W of PD charging?
Does iGPU out thru HDMI port only or TB4 ports also? Thanks

Is ASUS Z790-Creator ProArt compatible with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 ? Do I have to change something or it is ready to use out of the box ?

I have the same CPU/Mobo. 5600MHz ram though (not interested in overclocking). The main issue is that no reasonable cooler seems good enough to handle that CPU. I have a Corsair h170i and even then the CPU goes straight to 90+ degrees at full load. Avoid M.2 cards with integrated heatsinks.
@@sherry8444 Why avoid M.2 drives with integrated heatsinks? I am about to order one and I would appreciate your answer. Thanks.
@@Alex_Greu_de_gasit It depends on the M.2's heatsink
9:43 When he takes the mobo M.2 heatsinks off you can see a large square black standoff pad. They are meant to support the M.2. in the middle. And they didn't seem detachable to me.
If your M.2 has an integrated heatsink (that covers the underside, not only the top), such as the Seagate FireCuda 530 (there is heatsink and non-heatsink version), then that square standoff MAY cause the drive not to lie flat... and it needs to lie flat to use the new Asus Q-Latch system to secure the M2 to the board.
FireCuda instructions say the integrated heatsink is not meant to be removable and also says that because of the heatsink the FireCuda does not conform to M.2 specification (something a retailer may not mention). Other M.2 manufacturers may have removable heatsinks or heatsinks that conform to M2 specification and they might be fine... be sure before you buy, or be safe.
@@sherry8444 Thanks for pointing that out. I'm going for a Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink, which also covers the underside, as you said. But I checked the motherboard manual and at some point it says "For 2242, 2260 length - optional - Remove the M.2 rubber", so I guess those preinstalled standoff pads are removable. I trust the SSD manufacturer's heatsink rather than those on the ASUS motherboard, which look quite cheap.
Hey ive been searching everywhere for this comparison. would you please put z690pa z790pa comparison in the title or decription so ppl can find it easier ? Appreciate it, thank you 🤟
Done!
When I saw the price difference, it was only about $50 as of 1/15/23. Me personally, I don't really care about which one to use. I don't care about ddr5 memory. So I would likely use the z690 just so I can spend the $50 saving on ram.
Z690 is ddr5 as well...
