Have three alternatives for my new rig.
I will use it with 14700K, 64gb ram and 4080.
Z790-E is a bit pricier than I prefer. Actually I don’t need WiFi on desktop computer but all of them have it.
The only difference between Z790-A and Z790-E looks like support for Gen5 SSDs. At this moment I’m going to install a Samsung 990 Pro, i may do without Gen5 SSD in the future, I guess.
Will Asus Rog Strix Z790-A be enough, since it is the cheapest one?
Asus Prime Z790-A Wi-Fi Intel LGA1700 DDR5
Asus Rog Strix Z790-A
Asus Rog Strix Z790-E
so all i want is DDR5 7200. i have been using a 10gbe intel NIC for years so onboard wifi is worthless to me. i won’t overclock a 14th gen and will set the PL1/PL2 to intel spec, possibly even undervolt. what mobo out there should i be looking at?
If you want to undervolt then you need a z790 chipset. It’s the only one that lets you mess around with voltage
