ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI

2023 Red Dot Product Design

ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI won the 2023 Red Dot Product Design Award, a world-renowned design award.

High-End Recommendation

The workmanship and the numerous connectivity options as well as the exorbitant equipment distinguish the ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI in every respect in our opinion.

9 out of 10

This type of card will appeal to specialists. Those who want to benefit - already - from an M.2 in PCIe Gen 5. Those who find it useful to have 5 M.2 ports, each with its own heatsink. Those who need an optical output, 5 x 3.5 mm jacks and a more sophisticated audio solution. Finally, those who are interested in overclocking or who feel more at ease with the idea of having a motherboard that is remarkably robust in every way.

Silver Award

We liked: excellent VRM temperatures, good stock performance, PCIe 5.0 on the first PCIe slot + M.2 SSD, DDR5-7800, nice design and automatic OC, and the ASUS software ecosystem

Editor’s Choice

It is one of, if not the thickest Z790 board without exaggerating in my opinion.

9/9

For me, it's definitely worth the extra money, and next to that you get a motherboard, design-wise just got a facelift.

OC heaven

The motherboard is intended more for enthusiasts and clockers, for ordinary users it may even be an "unnecessary luxury"

Approved

There aren't many reasons to criticize the ROG Strix Z790-E. Some may find the price high, but that's a general thing - all boards are more expensive than we would like. Looking at all the elements from a wider perspective, this board will also defend its price under the current conditions.

Editor's Choice

Excellent build quality, powerful power supply unit, rich equipment (two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports, WiFi 6E, five M.2 slots, 2.5-gigabit LAN, audio unit), UEFI interface, software support.

Recommends

If you're willing to put up with that increased cost, know that you're getting a board that has a powerful power supply unit, good cooling, a quality integrated sound card, a 2.5-gigabit LAN controller, a capable Wi-Fi 6E wireless network card, and top-notch UEFI.
