Review: This MOBO is a beast! - I bought this motherboard because I wanted one that had coolant waterblock made for the VRM (EKWB does it). Whilst it most definitely satsfied me in that regard, the specs are also impressive as it comes with 5th gen PCIe slots, DDR5 slots (and dashing 256GB RAM capacity!), and gen 5 NVMe slots. I updated the BIOS and used XMP2 profile, then tweaked CPU clocks a little bit. No issues with the MOBO itself so far, a bit annoying that it won't see keyboard from USB hub for the BIOS, but maybe one day ASUS will address that trivial issue. If you have high performance setup this MOBO will not only serve you well, but do more, and it is a great investment also because it is ready for next gen tech (whenever they come out, prob in 2025). I highly recommend getting VRM and PCH (chipset) for this MOBO as they tend to run red hot!
Review: Top of its kind - Top quality and aesthetics, full of features, interface includes more connections and ports than required by the average user. Only problem is the 4090 is very thick and interferes with the second PCI that I could use for M2 additional NVMEs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the maximum ram memory speed? It says 7000 however will it go up to 7600?**
A: I installed 7600 RAM and it is fine. You can google to see the approved RAM for the motherboard.

**Q: How many ram slots does this have, it only says it has one, or does it have like 8 4x32gb slots?**
A: It has 4 slots.

**Q: Can you still use DDR4 with this motherboard?**
A: Actually the (z790-a) is ddr5. The (z-790-a D4) is ddr4.

**Q: What is the minimum power supply needed to get the motherboard running?**
A: This is a high end motherboard that has lots of expansion possibilities.  I'm building one soon and will use a Corsair RM1000x, 1,000 watt, power supply.  The power supply affects everything in a build permanently, si it doesn't make sense to cut corners with a component as important as a power supply.  If you don't use a high end GPU originally, you might upgrade later on.  If your power supply is not up to the task you will buy one then.  I will not build for a customer with less than an 800 watt, Gold rated, power supply.  Remember everything that is attached to your motherboard will draw power from it.  It just does not make sense to go cheap on the PSU in a thousand dollar build.
