Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I had to build a computer from scratch. The Z490 is no longer an appropriate choice for a family vacation. There was only the ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-F GAMING WIFI at the time of purchase from the z590 with a standard CPU power system, a suitable number of SATA ports (essential to me), and USB. Even though the ASUS PRIME Z590-A would be a better fit for me, I was forced to accept it. However, gamers may find this more engaging (I don't play). One final remark: I've never before experienced a machine entering hibernate mode on its own accord. Despite the fact that the term "hibernation" has been disabled in the code. It's not the motherboard, but Windows 10 most likely. However, test it out somewhere else if you can. Win 7's chipset constraints prevent this from happening.

Pros
  • Even so, ASUS is dependable. The board booted up right away, and it has no broken features. Absolutely no issues arose. Temperatures on the board and the chipset read 27 and 37 degrees Celsius, respectively, without any heating. The option to upgrade to a CPU of the 11th generation and a PCIe 4 slot when their prices reduce. A robust energy infrastructure. The network driver is integrated into Windows 10, and I did not need to download any additional drivers. Both the processor and RAM were successfully overclocked using a default program. Immediate overclocking brought the Intel Core i7-10700K's 3800 MHz to 5200, and the Corsair Vengeance LPX memory's 3200 MHz to 4300. While doing so, the CPU stays at a comfortable 30-35 degrees Celsius (Noctua NH-U14S cooler, Fractal Design Define 7 chassis). Overall, the system's performance and reliability meet all expectations.
Cons
  • Price. Why have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a desktop computer is beyond me. Except, I did unplug the printer's cord.
