* affordable * Good performance *Easy bios upgrades *Linux compatible *Does it's job *Two nvme ssd slots as well as a pcie 4.0 port. One of them has a heatsink called "thermal guard" as it's brand name to keep your SSD cool. But it's not the best thermal guard and you have to use it if you want to have two ssds. *Ethernet port * Very small, but not too small which means it fits extremely well with a micro ATX case.

- Sturdy, feels tough, well built - No BIOS update needed for latest 9000 AMD series processors. - Easy to apply CPU under-volt with performance presets in BIOS. - Built-in IO Shield - Wifi Antenna holes - 1 USB-C port and 1 header for future upgrades

- 22+1+2+2 power stages and massive VRM cooling kept my Intel Core Ultra 9 285K rock-solid even during long Cinebench runs and 4K gaming sessions. - PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim + M.2 Q-Release made dropping in my RTX 5080 16GB Prime and three PCIe 5.0 SSDs completely tool-free in minutes. - NitroPath DRAM Technology let my G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 64GB (2×32GB) DDR5-6000 kit hit full XMP speed on the very first boot with zero issues. - AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, and AI Networking II made tuning effortless through Armoury Crate while my NZXT Kraken 280mm AIO stays at a ridiculous 30°C liquid temp. - Six M.2 slots (three full PCIe 5.0), native Wi-Fi 7, dual Thunderbolt 4, and premium build quality make this board 100% future-proof. - The Polymo Lighting II on the I/O shroud looks incredible in my Fractal Design Torrent Black case and syncs perfectly with Aura Sync (check the attached photos for real-life red glow).

Solidly built! No lane sharing of PCIe! Fast BIOS

Dual HDMI 2.1 output. (Need an APU to use) Wifi 6 Good amount of USB for an ITX board Sturdy back plate that helps dissipates heat, also raises the board so there is more air for the back m.2 port.

Worked first time. Board is easy to install and comes with an instruction book! I droped in the CPU, ram, nvme drive and my GPU and boom off to the races with no issues. Supports 6000 ram, and the newest AM5 chips. Windows found the drivers right away and no issues.

Solid board, booted right away, no issues what so ever. Beyond easy just plug and go out of the box, didn't even have to manually load bios.

-AM5 -good mix of lower and upper tier specs. -

Full speed Wi-Fi 7 5 Gbps Ethernet two-digit debug display

This motherboard ACTUALLY supports 128GB of RAM.

Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.

The options of components that you can put on this motherboard without worrying about taxing it are great. We're testing games that have not yet been optimized so will be putting it through the paces but it's more than capable to build a great system. Having visual post errors helps. The USB4 is great for running a full frame camera for presentations.

initally after building it out i flipped the switch and nothing. i troublshooted several things. and still nothing. i even posted a DOA on newegg but today 1dec24 138pm dst. i looked again at 1 issue a 3rd time and corrected something. i am embarassed to say what it was but i corrected it. replugged some components i had previously unplugged and FLIPPED the swich and an OH MY G-D MOMENT OCCURED.! lights fans and after it shutoff briefly and on again SCREEN DISPLAY!. even a multiple times pc builder lik me can F_UP. AND just as an apologetic it took me about 25 hours partially because i kept running into issues mostly fitting components to tower. AND though i had lots of fun doing it it did take me 25hours probably a little less to build the thing. in my defense i was adding components that i was not familiar with and therefore took longer to make do. ... i coulod go on and on and on even making a fool of myself. if i havent already. when i mess up i admit it. and i did. and i corrected it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IN CONCLUSION the ASUS PRIME line of mobos does not disappoint specifically the asus prime Z890M-plus WIFI

had to sweat a little, but got my gpus working when loaded new windows 10 from flash drive. I didnt even had to touch now bios just loaded new version of windows on flash :)

Very good power delivery and lots of features for the price range

My first Tuff motherboard was a X58 that last thirteen years and my second Tuff motherboard was a Z87 which still runs today after ten years. The bios is easy to navigate. I paired this board up with a i9 i12900k and it is as fast as a Hellcat. I did have some issues with an internet connection while loading Windows but I did some research and got it taken care of. Hopefully I can have the same luck with this Z790 as I have with the other Tuff motherboards. Since I have a rare and unique Cooler Master Nvidia case, I did a retro fit with this motherboard and I think it turned out fine.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is phenomenal. I want to start by mentioning the attention to detail and the build qualityit's on another level. The board feels very solid, strong, and heavy. The main reason I decided to go with this board is that it allows me to run two Gen 5 SSDs at full speed without losing GPU performance, keeping the graphics card running at x16. I do lose the use of the 40Gb USB-C ports, but honestly I dont use them anyway. Working on the board was super easy thanks to all the EZ-Latch mechanisms, which made installing components quick and hassle-free.

Great product and price. Delivered on time and in excellent condition.

Great product! Exactly as described, meeting all expectations. Easy component installation and high-quality materials..

Super pretty, pretty easily modified
