Review on ๐ŸŽฎ ROG Strix Z590-I Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1200: Mini-ITX Gaming Motherboard with Thunderbolt 4, PCIe 4.0, and 2X M.2 Slots by Billy Branch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A bit pricey but as always you get what you pay for.

The best Z590 board with all the features you can get today. I wanted Thunderbolt4/USB4 support if I had to restore my system. I also wanted PCIE4, but on Intel. I had a lot of problems with my Ryzen system and now I have no more problems. Otherwise same details, only works with this board and platform. Mine is paired with an i9-11900K and is not holding that chip back. With ABT enabled I get 5.3GHz on all 8 cores and it hits 5.3GHz on 7 of the 8 cores at the same time, all the time. It runs cooler than my 5900X at idle and under load. This board will not accommodate any 11th Gen Intel chip at all. Huge single core boost over my 5900X, especially if you enable ABT and leave MCE enabled, many reviews have this disabled even though it's the default option, which I think is wrong. Ultimately, the I/O on this mITX board is unmatched by any other vendor on the market today. A bit pricey but either you want the latest IO or you don't.
