Great unboxing and overview of the motherboard! I really appreciate the detailed explanation of its features and build quality. Looking forward to more content!👍😊
I LOVE the looks of this mobo and the price is just perfect because the Z790 are expensive. Does this one works out of the bof with the 13700k and the 4080? I'll be using DDR5 6000MHZ cl 30 or 32
Great video. This convinced me to get this motherboard. I do have one question though. Will the board automatically detect the i5-13600KF or does it require a BIOS update before this CPU can be used? (asking since the board does not have a flashback port)
M.2 rookie here. Correct me if I'm wrong. An M.2 with a built on heatsink will not fit under that cover you removed? (Crucial P5+ 2TB w/heatsink) Is that cover a heatsink itself?
It is a cover yes, so you can either install the drive as is and leave off the one with the board (but it'll look a bit odd as its shorter, or remove the one on the drive (which I would do as it would look better).
Trying to find a solid board to pair with the i5-13500. I don't care to overclock, and I would like the thing to POST right out of the box. Any thoughts?
@@jordanash appreciate your response. I have this motherboard paired with tuf 4070ti. Do you think its still a good idea to use all 4 m2 slots? Or should I only use 3? Again, thank you.
To be honest I can't remember how many it'll take before going to Gen 3. I *do* remember that there is a part in the motherboard manual that states the limitations, I'd check that out
I'm about to buy a new PC next week and I'm buying it through a company that builds computers and it has come down to either: ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI DDR5 or ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI DDR5 I would like to know if it is worth spending around $135 more on the ROG STRIX over the TUF.
It's not, no. If you've got all the features you need on the TUF then get that. The Z790 H came out after 14th gen so is a bit newer giving it a higher price.
Hi I came across with this video and after building this pc, the power, the fans, basically everything was working but some of my friends were saying that it needed a bios update due to it not working but I have this exact ddr5 asus tuf z790 plus Wi-Fi motherboard. Does it support the Intel I5 13600k?
thank you for your helpful video , i bought mine yesterday but it doesn't have driver disk , so do you think is it used before or some box don't have CD's ??
@@jordanash yes exact same model , also the it didn't had a circle label to ceil the box , so the box and the cover was open but the motherboard it self looks fresh 🤔
Oh none of the ASUS boxes come with a seal nowadays. Also, my board was one of the first samples so the drivers might not have been on the site and that's why it might include the disk.
Nice board since you can get it for cheap open box or even new these days. The only meh is the wifi. For the price I found it to not be lacking anything I needed.
Yeah it's great. I always say if you *need* to make something wireless then get powerline adapters, they're always faster and gives you almost wired speeds.
Nice review. I recently returned the DDR4 version and ordered the DDR5 version, and 6400 cl32. It'll be replacing an Asus Formula VIII. Fair winds and following seas to all.
So that has a hub, you need to connect the fan lighting connector into that, and the other to a 4pin header on the motherboard for power (Or into a 3 into 1 adapter first). The hub connects to the PSU with SATA for power, then into the USB 2.0 Header (or into the 2 to 1 adapter first) on the motherboard, control with NZXT CAM software.
I've got an issue with this board, maybe you have an idea? I cannot turn of the LED of this board, in bios i turned it off but it keeps on! also sometimes it skips the bios option and goes directly into windows/logon (even with fast boot disabled) driving me nuts.
@@jordanash Yes, it totally skips it and del doesn't do anything. Now if I switch fast boot off i can enter the bios, but after that it still skips it again when I reboot.. it's like it's resetting itself (it also idles the monitor when I can't "hit del to enter bios") and it goes directly to the windows login screen. And when i am in bios turning all the rgb off it stays on.. cmos has also been reset, and i can't figure out why this is happening. (has the latest bios, it's all updated)
I'd get a drive with one already installed, or make sure the drive you're using in it isn't one you're constantly using, then it just won't get as hot.
Yep, you *might* need a BIOS update depending on where you get it from as this launched for 13th Gen., but if it had a BIOS flash button on the back (I'd show if in the video if so) then it's easy to do.
I did see the price of one product (LC240) go up, but that was due to lower stock, then it went back. This looks like it could be the same thing as the D4 version is still the same price.
@@jordanash Brother, the question is, if the transfer bus is not lost, why does this board say that it supports only 4600 MHz? I have memory that reaches speeds of 6400 MHz, are the 1800 MHz difference lost?
That's the speed it supports before using an "overclocked" speed I believe. Even a 3600mhz kit in my system is classed as a "overclock" and not official support, it's weird
@@jordanash What I mean is a image / text what points to what is what / highlight it to get a overview. Or number it 1-2-3-4 and so on, to getter get a image what do what on the motherboard and zoom in on it so all can see.
@@jordanash super the issue is for all when building a pc. Where do all the tings go to, and cabels. Alot off videoes out there are fast talking, but hard so see where 1:1 all goes to from and to and names. Like Controller hubs, power, and the list goes on. Nice to here you will do it in the future. Alot better for people to follow along whit pointing and names for it.
welp, shit I brought the DDR5 version, and I bought the DDR4 ram instead the DDR5 O_O, thanks god I didn't force it I saw the difference and was okey time to return the DDR4 Ram and get the DDR5 Ram instead . Should i keep the DDR4 ram in case i want to build a pc with ddr4 ram instead of the ddr5 unless ddr5 is better in the long run for future build U_U,.
@@jordanash thanks for the fast reply, i didnt mean an actual Thunderbolt port, i meant the header on the motherboard where you could connect a PCIe Thunderbolt card.

Just about to build my first PC and I chose this board. Every review seems to be positive!
Yeah it's a very solid motherboard from what I've seen.
Awesome unpacking!! Will be getting this board, thank you for the video!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it. You're welcome.
Great unboxing and overview of the motherboard! I really appreciate the detailed explanation of its features and build quality. Looking forward to more content!👍😊

I do have one question though. Will the board automatically detect the i5-13600KF or does it require a BIOS update before this CPU can be used? (asking since the board does not have a flashback port)
Thank you! Yes, it should. The 13600 was one of the first chips to release on 13th Gen, so they should be supported no matter what bios revision.
@@jordanash Thank you!
Hi, I like your channel. But did you get the WiFi antenna in the package? Also, the box was completely open. Does this happen to everyone or just me?
Thank you! I did yes, also the majority of boxes aren't sticker sealed anyway, I think only the ROG ones are.
Very good review but what's the difference beetween this and the PRO wifi version ?
The Pro didn't come out till a year after this, check out the Pro video as I compare to it in that - ua-cam.com/video/LPNyuMme4Nk/v-deo.html

No probs
Would you recommend this board for my first gaming pc

I'd go for the TUF B760, especially as you don't have an overclocking CPU /don't want to OC anyway
Nice overview! Question, is there a downside if I use all 4 M2 slots? Thanks!
Thank you. If you're using a GPU at fill speed (X16), one with be Gen 4, the the others will run Gen 3, as there are only 20 PCI lanes

Asus Tuf z790 v/s Asus Rog Strix Z790-H

Not used the Strix Z790-H

@@jordanash I got one last question before I order my PC it's about CPU's which is better overall Intel Core i7-14700KF or Intel Core i9-14900F
The 14900KF, but it's a lot hotter, so you'll need a very good cooler.
Hi I came across with this video and after building this pc, the power, the fans, basically everything was working but some of my friends were saying that it needed a bios update due to it not working but I have this exact ddr5 asus tuf z790 plus Wi-Fi motherboard. Does it support the Intel I5 13600k?
Hey! Yeah, 13600k should be fine as that was an initial SKU that released. I used one with this board in my "TUF build" (video on the channel)
thank you for your helpful video , i bought mine yesterday but it doesn't have driver disk , so do you think is it used before or some box don't have CD's ??
You're welcome. Hmm, that's odd, do you have the *exact* same model? I know not all the TUF boards have driver disks.
@@jordanash yes exact same model , also the it didn't had a circle label to ceil the box , so the box and the cover was open but the motherboard it self looks fresh 🤔
Oh none of the ASUS boxes come with a seal nowadays. Also, my board was one of the first samples so the drivers might not have been on the site and that's why it might include the disk.
*sorry i mean a circle Asus label that attached to the box
Yeah I've not seen Asus use sticker seals for a while now, at least not on motherboard boxes.
Nice board since you can get it for cheap open box or even new these days. The only meh is the wifi. For the price I found it to not be lacking anything I needed.
Yeah it's great. I always say if you *need* to make something wireless then get powerline adapters, they're always faster and gives you almost wired speeds.
Is it suitable for a 13900KF and 2*32GB profile. No overclocking intended initially. Can it run stable?
Yep, all good
So I can buy Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4 pair with i7-12700K and everything will work amazing ?
Yep, I used this with the 13600k (so pretty much the same SKU) and it worked great
@@jordanash Thank you.
Most welcome.
whats the difference between this and the Tuf z790 PRO-WIFI?
I've got a video on the Pro WiFi and I cover the differences in it ☺ ua-cam.com/video/LPNyuMme4Nk/v-deo.html

Fair winds and following seas to all.
Thank you. Sounds like a good combo!
does this need a bio update for the i5 13600kf or i can put cpu right away in the motherboard with any problem
No it's fine, I said it supports 12th and 13th gen at 2:05
What is better This board or z790 tomohawk?
Not used the tomahawk, just get which has the best features for your use case and or budget
Hello, I am using the same motherboard. How can I connect the cooler and exhaust fan RGB controller to the motherboard?
What cooler and fan are you using?
@@jordanash nzxt kraken 240 lcd
So that has a hub, you need to connect the fan lighting connector into that, and the other to a 4pin header on the motherboard for power (Or into a 3 into 1 adapter first). The hub connects to the PSU with SATA for power, then into the USB 2.0 Header (or into the 2 to 1 adapter first) on the motherboard, control with NZXT CAM software.
@@jordanash What I want to do is to create the entire RGB system via Asus software. I do not want to use 2 separate programs.
Well you've got an NZXT aio so that's not possible.
I've got an issue with this board, maybe you have an idea? I cannot turn of the LED of this board, in bios i turned it off but it keeps on! also sometimes it skips the bios option and goes directly into windows/logon (even with fast boot disabled) driving me nuts.
As in the one on the boot sequence?
@@jordanash Yes, it totally skips it and del doesn't do anything.

@@jordanash It has the latest bios.
Where you say it skips the bios option, do you mean the Asus splash screen?
Do you know if this motherboard supports 2 monitors?
That's down to the graphics card.
@@jordanash oh alr ty
The middle M2 Slot(80mm) has no heatsink. How to cool the Drive in it? Thanks.
I'd get a drive with one already installed, or make sure the drive you're using in it isn't one you're constantly using, then it just won't get as hot.

Should I get this for a rtx 4070 and an i5 13600kf
Yeah that'll work well
Kompatibel mit i9 14900k doch normalerweise 😊?
Yes ☺
Is this compatible with a 14700k and an 4080 super?
Yep, you *might* need a BIOS update depending on where you get it from as this launched for 13th Gen., but if it had a BIOS flash button on the back (I'd show if in the video if so) then it's easy to do.
@@jordanash if I buy the pro wifi edition of this Motherboard is It launched in 14th gen ?
Yeah that was launched for 14th.
Is there a bluetooth and wifi point at once? do you need to buy anything else?
If you get this one then you'll get the antenna, then that and bluetooth connects with windows.
Hi does this motherboard supports ddr5 8000mhz 32gb ram?
It's covered in the video - 2:20
Where there be an issue if my boot drive is 2280 M.2 since the one closest to the cpu is 22110 is expensive and hard to find?
I can seem to see a two locks at different positions. I wonder if it supports both 2280 and 22110?
That's it mate, it just gives you options over *needing* that size
Does it need a Bios Update for the 14th gen ?
Yep, I would expect so.
Works great with DDR5 6000 and i7 13700kf, by the way.....Asus just released latest BIOS version 1210
Nice! I used this in a build on the channel recently. Same spec ram and the 13600K recently
@jordanash I bet it's fast too. I haven't benchmark anything, just played games. All smooth 😎
Oh yeah, really pleased with how that came out. All TUF themed too, if you fancy a watch. Nice, love to see it
Anyone using this motherboard ? Is it good with 6000mhz cl36 ?
I used this in a build recently (latest build video). I used 5600mhz @CL36, I can't see any issues with 6000 though
Will this board be ok with a 4070 ti tuf i7 13700k 6000mhz 32gb sn850x 2tb ssd? or should I go Rog Strix
Yeah, for sure! TUF fits this board a lot better visually too.
This or the Z970 DDR5 ASUS PRIME A?
Not use this generation prime boards, the last were good though.
@@jordanash ? might go for the tomahawk instead, thank you
Scan have jacked the price up to £379.00 so over paying by £90 to get a £35 discount!!! Great move Scan.
