    I am not even in the market for a new mobo, but it's always fun to keep updated on who makes good or bad products.
  • @41chemist19
    Why does everyone massively increase their prices? I don't get why they think the average consumer would go out and buy a board that costs 30% more for the same feature set.
  • @bcal5962
    I absolutely love motherboard round up videos and I don't think one has been posted for a while so this is great
  • @thestrykernet
    Thanks for doing roundups it seems like nobody else does these anymore and they're super helpful. edit: I'm not sure if it's accurate across the board for Gigabyte, but Buildzoid mentioned the cheaper Z790 refresh used an updated memory topology which was from a more expensive model original release.
  • Great informative video! Do you plan on making one comparing RX 7800 XT models?
  • @Qwepzy
    Where is the z790 all white mb from ASUS like with the Z690 Supreme?
  • Which of these motherboards will allow you to put more than one Nvme in them esp using the top one without sacrificing the GPU from 16 to 8 and I only want to use Gen 4 in them instead of gen 5 to save on the price
  • @yukegaming8788
    Do you know anything about new AM5 boards? Lack of 1 DPC boards is killing me.
  • @tomtomkowski7653
    Could you please make a comparison video with more budget-friendly MBs? Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX, Gigabyte Z790 UD AX, Msi Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI, ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi, and so on? Temps, power consumption, RAM support, stability, some productivity/gaming test, etc
  • You missed the ASRock Z790 Taichi Lite Board.. Best bang for buck board surely of the new ones
  • @dannylira11
    I would be interested in seeing if the comparable Z690 boards work just as well on these 14th processors considering you can find some at much lower prices.
  • Which motherboard is best from a MS-7C91 (MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WiFi) for a new CPU of Ryzen 7 7800X3D? Looking for something that is compatible. Mid-range to high end
  • @nadtz
    If I didn't already have a Z790 board I'd be taking a hard look at that Asrock phantom gaming board, nice feature set for the money.
  • @zimand3
    Thanks for this video. I am in the market for a motherboard pairing with i5 13500. I need a PC for work mostly (graphic design and photography) and I am not doing OC. I ask you for an opinion about a system without a video card. My monitor is a 4k, 60Hz, (Adobe RGB-99%, DCI_P3-99%) 27 inch. Also I do printing quite often. I need WiFi because I can't wire my computer to the modem. Consistency is my goal. I was looking at Asus ProArt motherboards. What to seek in a motherboard for my needs? Thank you.
  • @jantee7479
    can you include boot time also? Please
  • Really happy with the Z790 AORUS ELITE X WIFI7 I decided on. Has been a beast so far!
  • @ventilate4267
    Was just looking for this yesterday shocked that you guys hadn't made one already.
