TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700(Intel 14th,12th &13th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,4xM.2 Slots,16+1 DrMOS,WiFi 6,2.5Gb LAN,Front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C,Thunderbolt 4(USB4),Aura RGB) | 14th, 12th and 13th Gen support, PCIe 5.0, DDR5, 4x M.2 slots, USB4

Cut the cost in half buying through Amazon's Used option. Inside a generic brown box, it was carefully and safely packaged for shipping. It arrived in two days! The board works flawless with all of the features that I was looking for and expected at half of the price if buying it new. There are a lot of people that ship items back without ever even using them, and I highly recommend this option and this motherboard. If someone were to choose to buy this at it's current new price, this model is still a great choice. I'm just not sure for the full price that I personally would have went this route, because other models with the same options are available. It is a fantastic board, looks great with it's sleek all black military tough vibes going on. It has a very subtle RGB lighting effect on the top right corner. The setup is very simple and easy, but I've been putting computer builds together for over 25 years. Also my Lian Li Dynamic XL RGB case I've installed this board into is quite massive and would make almost any build super easy to assemble. So the ease of assembly really depends on not just skill but the case it is being installed in as well. This is a full sized board, and not a small mATX. My experience with the bios of this board and all of the features are as expected. I've definitely favored Asus for years now. This board has had no issues with my 13600k processor, or my two sticks of DDR5 6000 memory. I've easily enabled the xmp memory profile, and overclocking features to test and they all work as they should with my 13600k P-Cores hit an astonishing 5.7Ghz. After the test I've set the board back to it's default settings. Then adjusted the thermal limit and CPU voltage, setting limits, as well as making other various adjustments to ensure a very long lifespan. It is not required, but my preference. I very highly recommend this board, and am really glad that I chose to buy it used in good condition through Amazon. While I can definitely understand that this decision on such an important component for a computer seems like a very high risk, for me it was definitely worth it, costing me only half when comparing the price of new. Overall I'm left with no regrets and big savings on a high quality, top shelf, stellar product.

Well built board works as advertised easy set up

I bought this second-hand, and it worked perfectly on the first try—I’m really happy. It feels no different from a brand-new one, and I’m very satisfied. As for how it holds up in the long run, I’ll let time tell.

Built a new Z790 system around this board with an i9-14900K, 64GB DDR5-6000, and an RTX 5070, and it has been rock solid for several months now. A few things worth knowing for anyone considering this board: The 16+1 DrMOS power delivery handles the 14900K without any thermal throttling even under extended Cinebench loads, which is not a given at this price point. All four M.2 slots are usable simultaneously without disabling any SATA ports, which matters if you're running multiple NVMe drives. WiFi 6 and the 2.5Gb LAN both work out of the box in Windows without hunting down drivers. The Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 header on the front panel is a genuine differentiator — most boards in this price range skip it. BIOS is clean and intuitive; AI Overclocking got my DDR5 kit to its rated XMP profile on the first boot. Minor caveats worth mentioning: the M.2 covers use a screwless retention system that takes a little getting used to the first time — but honestly once you figure it out it takes about 10 seconds and you'll never think about it again. The SATA ports are angled, which can be a slight cable management challenge in mid towers, though it's really not a big deal and a short right-angle SATA cable sorts it out immediately. Overall this is one of the best value Z790 ATX boards available. Solid VRM, full-featured connectivity, and ASUS's well-regarded BIOS. Highly recommend for Intel 12th-14th Gen builds.

This board right here? It’s the backbone of my whole build. I dropped in the i5-14600KF and my RTX 3080 FTW3, and this Z790-Plus didn’t even flinch—it was like it was born to run with beasts. Setup was smooth, BIOS was clean, and ASUS didn’t skimp on the layout. Everything’s spaced out right—no finger acrobatics needed to plug stuff in. Power delivery is clean with that 16+1 DrMOS setup, so when I pushed the CPU clocks a little, it held strong with zero drama. The DDR5 support? That’s where things really pop. I’m running some 6000MHz sticks and this board took it without a hiccup. Booted straight up, no weird voltage tweaks needed. If you’re about that snappy load time life or running heavy apps back-to-back, DDR5 on this board absolutely rips. And those 4x M.2 slots? Come on. I tossed in two drives already and still got space to expand. Fast storage everywhere, no bottlenecks in sight. Connectivity is stacked. You get WiFi 6E built in—connection is crisp, even through walls. That 2.5Gb LAN port? Super clutch when I wanna plug in and stream heavy with zero lag. Front USB-C, tons of rear I/O, Thunderbolt 4… they really thought of everything here. I’m running a dual-monitor setup with external drives and a capture card, and there’s still ports left untouched. The Aura RGB syncs up with the rest of my case lights and looks clean—not overdone, just the right glow. I’ve built on a few motherboards before, but this one feels like it was made for folks who actually use their rigs hard. It doesn’t just look tough—it is tough. Temps stay in check, airflow’s smooth, and the VRMs don’t heat up even when the CPU’s at full send. My system’s been stable, fast, and locked in ever since. Everything just plays nice together, like this board is the glue that holds the chaos together.

ASUS did a great overall build with this board. Issues: NIC and RAM --- This is an overall great board, with the notable exception of the 2.5 gig Intel i225/i226 network chipset, which a lot of manufacturers are putting in Intel-CPU (especially Z790) boards. The i225/i226 chipset DOESN'T PLAY NICE with any Verizon hardware. Something to do with IPv6 support; Verizon's routers won't see the NIC, and the NIC won't register any connection. A simple $20 Realtek PCIe or even USB network card solves the problem immediately, but you need to know that going in. My only other complaint is the one-sided memory DIMM clasps. I find that it's much harder to install RAM when one side of the mounting slot is rigid/fixed, instead of having folding tabs on both sides. Features: Everything else on this board was solid out-of-the-box! --- During the bios boot process, the mobo persists a VGA signal so that the monitor STAYS ON during a reboot. This is such a nice feature because it lets me know it hasn't hung! When performing a long reboot, e.g. to enable XMP or change some overclock settings, the logo sticks around so the user knows the system's still "doing something". Nice. Speaking of XMP, I was able to get a full 128 gb of DDR5 RAM working at the advertised 4800 MHz clock speeds with no issues. The CPU is also clocked correctly, and the power scaling of the processor itself, and the system as a whole, is very smooth. System sleeps and wakes with no issues, and low-power states don't seem to mess with other "nice-to-haves" like LEDs or other peripherals. Plenty of options for LEDs, not as much for SATA drives. The M2 mounting points are robust and the heat spreaders seem like they're nice hefty aluminum to dissipate the heat. Takeaway: All in all, this board was NOT A HEADACHE to get running at full capacity, and that's more than I can say for most motherboards I've installed in the last decade. Do recommend.

I re-used the CPU chip from a fairly entry level Best Buy computer. With the same chip and the same RAM, this mother board gave a much, MUCH faster computer. Even the boot time was cut in half. I had not realized how much of a bottle neck a MB could be until now. For the price, this is a no-brainer.

Its an amazing motherboard this is my first time replacing a motherboard and it was easy to do i can see the difference in performance right away and it looks amazing in my case, I had an asus prime so the bios is similar so it was easy to update too it got good quality and features, I love it. Oh and dont but electric used from here because the motherboard i bought used was not turning on so I had to return it and buy it new. Yeah just buy it new if you have the money and no time. And the one I got used didn't even have all the parts I dont think amazon actually checks them or test products before trying to resell them. Just be careful with that.

اشتريت مذربورد من ASUS من هذا المتجر وكانت تجربة ممتازة جداً. التغليف كان ممتاز ومحمي بشكل احترافي، والمنتج وصل بحالة جديدة ومختوم. الشحن كان سريع والتواصل رائع. المذربورد تعمل بكفاءة عالية بدون أي مشاكل، والمتجر كان صادق في الوصف والمواصفات. أنصح بالتعامل معهم وبكل تأكيد سأشتري منهم مرة أخرى.

Great board, but for now, with doubt circulating in the media about the reliability of higher-end Raptor Lake CPUs and above, I have only used these motherboards for systems using up to 14600K.

Entrega rápida e placa muito boa

MOBO działa bezbłędnie, jednak: 1) pierwsze uruchomienie działało tylko na jednej kości DIMM, w tej konfiguracji aktualizacja BIOS i dopiero wtedy jest możliwe dołożenie drugiej kości. W innym przypadku płyta po prostu nie startowała. 2) BIOS jest... nieprzewidywalny. Przykładowo dopiero włączenie CSM pozwoliło mi na uruchomienie karty RAID, rzecz w tym, że ta karta jest w 100% zgodna z uEFI (i w tym trybie działała na poprzedniej płycie bezbłędnie). MOBO jest dobre, działa bezbłędnie z Windows 10 i systemami Linuxa ale powyższe błędy nie powinny mieć miejsca przy produkcie z półki średnia-wyższa. Na marginesie: czytając negatywne recenzje tej płyty, po raz kolejny utwierdzam się w poglądzie, że osoby bez wiedzy komputerowej nie powinny samodzielnie budować komputera.

I installed this about 3 weeks ago and it was pretty smooth sailing. There are lots of plastic film covers on various parts to keep it from scratching during install/shipping. Remember to peel them off as you are installing. It has some LED lights that can be turned on or off in the BIOS. Speaking of BIOS, Asus motherboards always have nice, clear and easy to use BIOS software. This one is no different. One feature that I likes (but also hated) was that the screws in the M.2 SSD heatsinks were attached to the heatsink. It makes it easier for those with bigger hands to get the screw in place. In the other hand, it also made it difficult to line the screw up with the hole. I feel like there could be a happy medium there. Finding the Windows drivers was pretty simple, but on first boot, you are prompted to install the Asus Armoury Crate software. It let's you control/view the fan speeds, LED lights, see the temperatures, install latest drivers and more. It's actually a really slick idea, but the software itself is awful. It takes up a lot of memory and it crashes all the time. I suggest installing it to get the fastest drivers, then uninstall it right away. NOTE: You will need to use Asus' Armoury Crate Uninstaller tool available on their website to completely rid yourself of it. So far, I haven't had any issues with the motherboard itself. Hopefully it stays that way for a long time.
