First off its a $100 motherboard with a big heatsink, BT 5.3, PCIe 5.0, two 4.0 m.2 slots, comes preloaded with WiFi and BT drivers
Pros are the blue tooth and wireless built in. They board also allows flexibility in storge types
- Lots of quality of life features (tool-less m.2, pcie quick release, integrated IO shield) - Good I/O for the price (thunderbolt 4, wifi 7, 5GbE LAN, quad m.2 slots) - Clean easy to use UEFI
The company who builds my PC's are very good. They had nothing but issues with the mother board and cpu. Newegg were nothing but great and made things so much easier. I know have a great PC and will be sure to pass along the highest recommendation to everyone I know in the industry.
As usual, at least in my experience, ASUS products have been solid performers. I use ASUS motherboards in all my computer builds, never had one mal-function.
Happy it comes with a digital BIOS Q-Code display along with pins for a beep speaker. Gigabyte appears to be using a new and updated BIOS interface, which is different from the Z370 and Z390 Aorus motherboards that I have.
Great high end mobo for bleeding edge components (when purchased). Combined with a Core 7 265k, 48gb of UDIMM memory and an RTX 5080 it has been rock solid as a gaming machine.
I recently upgraded my PC with the MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard, and I've been quite pleased with it. While it might not be the absolute top-of-the-line, it's been a dependable workhorse for my gaming and daily tasks. The performance is strong, the design is simple yet stylish, and I've found it to be a great value for a mid-range system. It's become the heart of my gaming rig, and I'm happy with the results.
- easy to set up lots of space
Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?
PCI-E 5.0 and just glad it worked as intended as other manufacturer's don't seem to uphold quality well.
Easy to install Smooth M.2 drive installation Built in I/O shield Great BIOS ui Push connect wifi, not screw In
nice board, top choice for 13600k, Got 5,6 all P core OC
I was upgrading two PCs to run Windows 11. Inexpensive with plenty of USB 2 and 3 ports. Meets my needs - I am not a gamer
Well built with quality parts.
- Easy to install everything - The manual was helpful in understanding the board layout and wiring hookups - Plenty of room for installed parts (graphic card, radiator and cpu hub, ram, and 14th generation Intel CPU
Easy to install booted up immediately with easy to follow bios settings. Board is basic but good power delivery
- Visual appealing - Ample USB and M2 ports - Excellent build quality
Plenty of ports and options for any build. Alot of fan plugs and rbg plugs. I love how the pci express is reinforced for the heavy video cards. and the heatsinks are tool less with their own thermal pads. This board is made for cool temps. The led's are nice to. GCC software is excellent with the bios updates and the rgb. Very impressive that they now have GCC. Their software has come a long way from the older style control center.
