Nice improvement

by Promising upgrade star star star star star

Upgraded from a Z690 chipset to this Z790, keeping a 13700K and there is a noticeable improvement in performance, especially after fitting DDR5. The board is nicely laid out with the CPU fan/pump connectors at the top and most of the other fan connectors on the bottom edge. The BIOS layout may take a little while to get used to but that is to be expected. It's a very pretty motherboard. There is clear plastic on the M2 heatsinks but only one piece has a tab for easy removal, the rest has to be located and picked at with your fingernails, very annoying. Also the M2 do not have built in latches, they still use those fiddly screws so a magnetic screwdriver is a must. I'm not going to mark it down for the minor annoyances, it's a good choice.
