ASRock MB ASROCK | Z790 Steel Legend WiFi

Ordered two of these motherboards to upgrade older PCs that did not meet Windows 11 requirements. Selected this MB due to large number of SATA ports (8) and rear-panel USB ports, great CPU support, and positive reviews. Wasn't disappointed - both motherboards were easy to install and connect, both booted right up. BIOS configuration menus well organized and easy to understand. Love the Fan speed control adjustment tool in the BIOS. Only con is the small number of PCIe slots (3).

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great motherboard, a lot of features for not a lot of money. This board is also aesthetically pleasing with the camouflage pattern and color scheme. Quality packaging and the board itself feels like it's good quality just by going by weight, pcb thickness and feel.

So far, this motherboard is working perfectly. Not a single hiccup. Everything is speedy. More ports than I will ever need. Everything is working great. I have an M.2 SSD drive and the computer boots windows 11 really, really fast. I love this board. I upgraded from a 6 year old AS Rock z370 Taichi (which was still working well) and expect this board to meet my needs for another 6 years.

Great, it arrived and is legit, if you know, you know.I admire the efficiency of the employees, however they slapped the label on the box and that is it, grateful I was at home to get it, left out in the open.Now for the nitty gritty, no, just no, I thought it would be a simple install but for whatever reason, the MB refuses to acknowledge the windows 10 OS on my SSD, it acknowledges the SSD is there on the BIOS but can't boot to it, there are no guides on this.

So far good motherboard, nice looking performs well once you do all your due diligence or the set up could be frustrating and lead to an RMA. I'm know pro, so hope this helps some. One last thing, Install the CPU cooler of your choice from the start pre boot! Otherwise, the board will shut down due to heat before you can get anything done.Take note of the BIOS version listed of the approved QVL memory list. My board came with BIOS version 2.07. However, the compatible memory off the list I ordered was showing version 5.02 required. Could not get to post so that I could update the BIOS with the memory. Tried all the tricks and slots etc. I found a stick of memory on the list that matched the 1.08 BIOS, installed it, and it then posted. I could then update the BIOS to version 8.05. That then allowed my original 64GB of memory to then be recognized and post fine.In any event, if you are having post issues, check the fine print on the memory for Raptor Lake or Alder Lake QVL list and compatible BIOS version for your CPU and memory of choice. Also look at all the drivers listed in the MB downloads. See the pictures. If you use a SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD with Heatsink 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 Internal Solid-State Drive, it will not fit under the included heatsink on the motherboard, if u want to use that slot. You have to use another slot or get an SSD without the heatsink. See picture, red circle shows the included heatsink, under which is 2 SSD slots (1 Blazing M.2 (PCIe Gen5x4), 1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4x4). (You can use one or the other). Blue arrow is another slot that fits an SSD with heatsink. Posted and installed Windows 11 pro fine using this slot.

My Unraid server needed an upgrade and I had some specific requirements like as many sata3 (6gb) ports as I could get, support for 14th gen intel cpu, support for ddr5 ram, support for at least 3 - m.2 nvme's. This board met all those requirements.Mounting in my Antec P101S case was breeze, it even has onboard usb3.2 ports that link to the front of the case. Installation of all m.2 hardware was a breeze, even comes with supplied heat spreaders. The user manual and firmwares available online were easy to find and very descriptive.The bios update went flawlessly, I can boot from USB (great graphical interface in the bios too). I now have my unraid server set up with 8 sata drives, 3 m.2 nvme's (one of which runs at gen5x4 speeds - 12,000mb/s). Great all around.

This is not your daddy's ASRock! These guys have come a long way from 10 years ago. This board is feature rich and stable. Couldn't be happier.

Used for unraid server for plethora of sata ports. Plug and play. Just works. Using 96 gigs of ram for fun. Power usage is lower than running a Xeon board.

12世代Core i7やDDR5のメモリを2枚、M2.NVMeを2枚刺したりするのに買いました。RTX4070TiSuperとの相性も抜群です。2年近く頻繁に使ってますが概ね満足。1点、サポートページと専用のWindowsアプリがショボいのと全然更新されないので、ファンコントロールとかは無料のサードパーティ製を使ってます。

presa usata a 270€, la Asrock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi è una scheda madre solida e ben costruita, ideale per chi cerca prestazioni elevate con il supporto ai processori Intel di 13ª generazione. Ha un buon numero di porte, supporta il WiFi 6 e offre una buona gestione delle temperature. Perfetta per chi vuole una piattaforma stabile e performante per gaming o lavoro

Fonction bien

I had to upgrade my desktop PC to Windows 11 specs. Most of the motherboards available have limited SATA3 connections. The Z790 STEEL LEGEND has 8 native SATA3 connections available for all my legacy optical & HDD’s. No issues setting up and installing drivers. Has worked flawlessly for 6 months now. Very happy with this purchase.
