ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi D4 LGA 1700(Intel 14th & 13th & 12th Gen) ATX motherboard (PCIe 5.0,DDR4,14+1DrMOS,3x M.2, WiFi 6,Bluetooth v5.2,2.5Gb LAN, front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB Type-C,Thunderbolt 4(USB4) support,Arua Sync)

Pros: this board outputs phenomenal sound, even when not using 7,1 , i have determined that i dont even need my soundblasterX4 external DAC. AMP, just don't connect it to a pair of cheap stock speakers... i highly recommend the klipsch 2.1 THX certified computer speakers .. nothing less than 100 dollars really. also... out of curiosity..and giggles i put a Pentium gold Processor (Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold G7400, 3700 MHz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) ..i did so with the thought.. that it would perform so poorly , that i would have to take it back out, i was surprised at its performance especially that it was not bottle necking the rest of the system., i was especially floored by its benchmark numbers (still not finished) ,the worst it has done is 79th percentile . so this board provides excellent support for low end processors.. providing more options for gamers on a budget ..

Cons: nothing big as of yet. just have to make sure you get the correct power supply . this board requires an ATX power supply . the placement of the battery is inconvenient.. ive been dealing with asus motherboard forever... i do like them . but they can be a bit fussy configuring new memory . which often times requires resetting CMOS by complete battery removal and using a jumper. but this battery sits pretty much under the graphics card... so in retrospect one may want to configure memory before installing card... however that brings another caveat . the CSM in bios cannot be configured . if your using the integrated graphics . these aren;t big issues to me but i can see the beginner getting frustrated

Overall Review: awesome deal for the price... if your just as demanding about having great sound as well as great graphics as i.am ... this board is it... and for the love of sound... don't buy cheap speakers. i got a couple more processors i would like to try out this board. just to compare.. perhaps i. ll do so.( thank you for powering through bad typing..... i spilled beer on my keyboard last night..I dont think its gonna pull through .,,,,

Pros: looks nice

Cons: quite literally just bricked

Overall Review: coming back after about 13-14months after installing this to say it worked fine and then completely killed itself. Saturday night turned it off fine, Sunday morning dead. Computer was maintained super well and nothing else was the cause. Just a weak board I guess. Buyer beware!
