Asus Prime PRIME Z790-P WIFI Gaming Desktop Motherboard - Intel Z790 Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - ATX - Core, Pentium Gold, Celeron Processor Supported - 128 GB DDR5 SDRAM Maximum RAM - DDR5-7200/PC5-5

It works great, using it with the Ultra 7 265k. The only complaint I have is drivers are a bit of a pain if trying to install them the old school way of downloading and installing manually but if you let it run the automatic installer it will find them for you. I found some of the drivers weren't even available for download on the Asus website but the installer did find them. Sometimes I feel these companies are trying to over-simplify things a bit too much. I was wondering about the reliability of the Realtek 2.5gbe LAN but have not experienced any issues with that. It is a bit of a headache to get setup and running but once you do it's fine.Do not pay attention to the other reviewer for the missing screws, new motherboards do not even come with them anyways.... you either reuse your old screws or they come included with the case itself. The only screws that might be included would be whatever is needed for securing the m.2 drives but certainly none that would mount it to the case.

So far this motherboard is working perfectly. I installed an Ultra 7 265K, 64GB memory, one 1TB M.2 drive, and a 650w Seasonic power supply. It had the headers to connect 2 USB 3.0 and one USB-C port on the case front panel. It came with lots of hardware like screws and stuff. I've not yet tried the Wifi because I have wired Ethernet from my router.

After a less-than-ideal experience with the Ryzen 7900x3D CPU and Gigabyte motherboard, I made the strategic decision to change course and try the ASUS Prime Z790-A WiFi 6E LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard, coupled with the Intel i7 14700k CPU.

I bought this Asus board to replace my Asus TUF board from 2017. I had no issues so upgrading to another ASUS board was a no brainer. I mean, they seemed to have a great reputation and I had a good experience last go around. But Man, this thing had issues.My intention was to upgrade my MB, CPU (i7 13700K), RAM (DDR5), m.2, and AIO cooler together. Everything installed easily, however, upon boot I received several RAM errors. After troubleshooting for an hour I played around with the RAM slots and found that only B2 was working. While having 1 stick in B2 the PC booted up and I installed Windows and my other programs and games.I immediately noticed a big issue when I went from a game to another monitor. A 20-30 second cursor freeze, then it would work again. I thought it was my RAM sticks so I bought 2 more 16GB corsair and tried them in the slots. The RAM worked but I still had the freezing issues so I reinstalled Windows. Same problem, then suddenly upon a bootup I had stopmemory errors once again and found the RAM in A2 was no longer working again. Swapping RAM, it seemed like one of my new sticks was faulty. I replaced a 3rd time. I was able to, again, get the 32GB of RAM to register, but I still hand the 30 second lockups when switching screens, closing games, restarting the PC, and coming out of sleep mode. I have a feeling the DIMM slots (or at least A2) are faulty. It's just my guess after hours and hours of troubleshooting.It's frustrating to upgrade to an i7 13th gen CPU and have your mouse cursor freeze for 30 seconds in various situations. Other troubleshooting methods I used; updated the BiOS and drivers, played around with XMP and set RAM to correct and default speeds, reseated the CPU, replaced thermal paste, messed around/adjusted the AIO and screws, ran CCleaner and Bitdefender, checked connections to the MB, ran diagnostic testing. Frustratingly, nothing improved the issues. I searched REDDIT and reviews on Amazon only to find that others had RAM issues with this board as well.After 3+ weeks and hours upon hours of working on fixes and reinstalling Windows twice, I replaced the motherboard with a Z790 from a different manufacturer (MSI MPG Z790 EDGE). Since that time I have had no issues. My computer is running like butter, as intended when I decided to upgrade the majority of my components. I also notice a slight difference in gaming as well with my 3080. Most importantly, my PC boots up in 30 seconds, comes out of sleep immediately, does not lag or freeze when switching between monitors during gaming. It's perfect. I'm so happy I decided to bite the bullet and take out all the PC components and replace the board again before my return window ended. It was my last option, other than living with it. I wish I would have went with my current MB now to save me from all the time and trouble I had with this ASUS board.As Jaytwocents said in a recent YouTube video: "I'm sorry ASUS, but you're fired!" In that video he reveals quality control issues from this brand who sponsored him. So that right there should tell you something. ASUS needs to get their stuff together!
