  • I just did a Z790 upgrade, and I started with a Z790 Maximus (Around $500) which I had to RMA, threw in a cheaper Z790 Plus-Wifi (Around $200).

    The major differences in the more expensive board were

    - Substantially better io (more nvme, way more ports on the back, higher speed ports)

    - Way cooler RGB (if that’s your think)

    - Board niceties, I.e. Q Code display, Start/Launch button on the motherboard.

    Is it worth $300 more? Probably not to most. I find the IO useful myself. Having things like the Q-Code display were useful when diagnosing the need for a RMA.
