Pros & Cons
Pros
Gigabyte z790 motherboard goes on sale for just over a quarter of the price. Fast startups are a feature that you absolutely need to have on your build then you definitely need to look elsewhere.
Great backdrop for the rgb lightshow in my corsair 4000d (black) case. Seems good quality, seems good quality. Other than that, no complaints. Corsair.

Packaging/appearance
Very poor packaging, the board arrived twistedluckily it works flawlessly
Ordered the i7 13700kf (no graphics unit on the chip)5.
Competitiveness
Looks beautiful has a ton of options alots of usb ports on the back so far so good.

I will be selling it because i’m just going to spend the extra money on a aorus master board because it has the things this doesn’t like the bios flashback on the rear mobo code display more rgb now personally i don’t even need to over clock anymore because the instant 6ghz on 2 cores is enough for me but again i want more rgb but this board is good enough
