Question 1

can I use my RTX 2080 super in this?

Accepted Answer

yes, that'll work.  that's only a PCI 3.0 graphics card, but the slots are backward compatible.

Question 2

Is this motherboard compatible with windows 11?

Accepted Answer

Based purely on the specs listed, as I have not built mine up yet, it is listed as Windows 11 - Supported

Question 3

What’s the fastest DDR5 sticks you had success with?  I’m thinking of getting 7200.

Accepted Answer

i'm running 7200 as well, 2x16.  However, I have to choose between that XMP profile or AI-overclocking my processor.  I get instability trying to do both.  Officially, intel 13th gen (and 14th?) only support DDR5 up to 5600 MT/s.  You're playing the silicon lottery to achieve higher speeds past their memory controller.
Without XMP turned on, my memory's default profile was only 4800... i'm not smart enough to manually override ram settings somewhere in the middle and gain an overclock  possibility for the processor.

Question 4

Is it windows 10 compatible?

Accepted Answer

I would not recommend this board for Windows 10. I was able to install Windows 10 but the network controller was not listed in device manager. Attempts to install drivers failed. Decided to try Windows 11. Once 11 booted to the desktop a box popped up saying that network drivers were preinstalled and asked if I wanted to install Armory Crate.

Question 5

Will an M2 SSD drive with it's own heatsink fit?  Or is this Z790-H motherboard only for M2 cards without heatsinks?

Accepted Answer

The big heat sink that is included is removed with two screws in order to install the SSD, so you would just not put it back on if you have your own heatsink.  The user manual is very good, you should be able to find it online and see how the 4 M2 slots can be configured.

Question 6

Does the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming board have tpm 2.0 chip?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 7

Will this MOB be able to support DDR4 memory?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming motherboard supports DDR5 memory, not DDR4.

Question 8

What network chipset does it use?  Intel?  Realtek?  Something else?  Specs are glaringly vague about both wired and wifi chipset so someone please answer

Accepted Answer

The motherboard uses an Intel chipset for both wired and wireless networking. Specifically, it has an onboard Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet port and WiFi 6E (802.11ax).

Question 9

The specifications said this mobo can only use 128GB but ASUS's website said it can use to 192GB. Which is correct?

Accepted Answer

The maximum memory supported by this motherboard is 256GB.

Question 10

Will this motherboard be able to support 14th gen intel processors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is compatible with Intel 14th generation CPUs.
