 What's up internet? Intel 4th Gen came out around a month ago and you might be wondering what motherboard to pair with that upgrade that you're going to get. Well, the latest and the greatest motherboard spec you can get right now for that CPU is the Z790. And we have the ROG Strix Z790 here. We're going to examine it if this is perhaps the board you want for your premium high-end build. Pero since hardware sugar to, ididiskas din natin. Ano ba yung pakaiba ng Z690 and Z790? Intel has made it easy for us this time as there is very little difference between the Z690 and the Z790. The Z690 has 12 PCI-E4 chipset lanes compared to 20 for the Z790. On the Z690, you can have a max of four 20 gigabit USB ports versus five on the Z790. For memory, the Z790 theoretically supports slightly faster memory, but most users just set the RAM way higher than those specs anyway. So the ROG Strix Z790a gaming Wi-Fi is a DDR5 motherboard. We've had some difficulty with DDR5, but the stability on this particular motherboard solid when it came to our testing for memory and it is rated at a bonkers 8,000 MHz for RAM. The MOBO has 16 plus 1 plus 2 VRM stages, which is what you would expect from an upper-tier board. And the VRM's job is to make sure that each component is getting the power it needs at the timing that it needs. Things can get hot. That's why you want VRMs with good cooling. We stress tested this guy and stability was flawless, even on a 4900K, which is pretty much as hot as you can get right now for a CPU. This board is Wi-Fi 7, the latest standard, which is capable of a theoretical max speed of 46 gigabits per second. Wi-Fi 7 is of course backwards compatible with all other versions of Wi-Fi, but if you want the latest speed, stability improvements, and other upgrades of 7, your other devices need to be Wi-Fi 7 also. Kung baka backwards compatible yung Wi-Fi, para yung benefits ng Wi-Fi 7 hindi backwards compatible. It's also one of the first motherboards I've seen with a PCI-E5 slot, so that's where you want to stick your graphics card into. Along with all of the belts and whistles are the usual refinements from ASUS that we really like for their motherboards, so for the graphics card, you just need to press a button, no more fiddling with the release lock at the base of the GPU, which can be really hard to find if your GPU is large. And for the M.2 drives, instead of using a screw to keep it in place, there's a simple latch. Again, very simple things, but super useful, especially for builders. There's a lot to like about the ROG Strix Z790A gaming Wi-Fi 2, and I'm tempted to call it the board which will position a new build well for the future. Except that the Z790 chipset is the last gasp of the socket 1700 of Intel. That's a socket which covers 12, 13, and 14th gen CPUs. But the next generation and up, 15th gen pataas, ibang socket na siya, the Z790 won't be compatible. But if you're thinking of getting a new rig centered around the 13th or 14th gen CPU with DDR5 RAM and you don't plan to upgrade the CPU at least for the next five years or so, then the Z790A gaming Wi-Fi 2 has a lot of value. On paper, there isn't much difference between the Z690 and the Z790, but in terms of actual hardware experience, this motherboard really impressed with its rock solid stability. We tested it with a 4900K with DDR5 memory. That's really at the bleeding edge currently of technology and some other boards would falter, not the Z790A gaming Wi-Fi 2. On a practical level, this is the kind of board you would want to have for high-end rigs. And it comes with useful bells and whistles like 5M.2 slots and heat sinks for all of those slots and Wi-Fi 7. It is the end of the year where people like giving out best-off awards. So in that spirit, I think the Z790A gaming Wi-Fi 2 deserves an award. Our inaugural, the last motherboard that you'll ever need award through to the ROG Strix Z790A gaming Wi-Fi 2. With the caveat that that complete title is the last motherboard that you'll ever need for socket 1700. Thanks for watching. Sama na rin yung excellent table management namin and CPU cooler repasting sa cleaning. We also clean and repaste GPUs. Nasamakati yung physical store namin and you can also buy from our site www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up-to-date yung inventory dun. Kung instock yung item sa amin, available yun sa site. We also ship nationwide. Thanks for watching and maybe one of these days, magkita tayo sa shop.
