The ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero is a pretty cool board. We’ve done a full write up of the Best Z790 motherboards to Buy in 2022 covering a variety of options: Featuresġx x4 PCI-E 5.0 Slot (via ROG Hyper M.2 Card) This will hopefully provide some context about the sacrifices you might have to make when picking a particular motherboard.
In order to gauge the true difference between a Z790 chipset board and a Z690 design, we’ve compiled a table that highlights the main features of two boards on each chipset. For a clearer overview on the differences, we recommend you check out our Z690 vs Z790 article! We don’t mind this incremental upgrade, given the cost similarities between Z690 and Z790 designs, and how far ahead of its time Z690 was this time last year. DDR5 also seems to be more of a commonality now that the tech is starting to mature. You will find PCI-E 5.0 support, and the inclusion of more USB 4 ports, dependent on the board you’ve chosen. For those looking to push the new i9 past 6GHz, this will be a crucial step!įor the most part, Intel Z690 and Z790 chipsets haven’t changed much in the 12 months separating their release. This means if you’re opting for an unlocked ‘K’-series chip, you’ll want to pick up a ‘Z’ series chipset board. It is also the chipset that allows you to overclock both your CPU and RAM, with other designs restricting overclocking to memory only. This means you’ll get access to the most amount of ports, widespread next gen features and more support for DDR5 RAM. This isn’t to say that B760 or H770 motherboards are bad, but manufacturers tend to push the ‘Z’ designated chipset more than other options.
