Question Could anyone share their opinion on the ASUS 790 Gaming WiFi7 motherboard and shed light on the TUF, ROG and Strix products?

For some reason I can't find any reviews on Youtube and most reviews in general are of the TUF gaming, ROG or Strix type motherboards. This makes me concerned that people are avoiding the Asus Z790 Gaming Wifi7.

I decided to order this board because it seemed to have everything I needed and was only $154.99 on Newegg vs the typical $200 plus for TUF ROG or Strix. I am also planning on mounting a Noctua NH-d15 to it which is a large cooler; I'm hoping it will fit but I can't even find compatibility info on Noctua's website on this motherboard. Why is it so under the radar? While I don't like the white components, I can't find anything else I don't like. Does everyone else know something I don't? Why does it seem that everyone goes for the TUF, ROG or Strix?

Seems like a decent mainstream motherboard. Really nothing to not like.

The Noctua is a solid choice.

The others get the attention they do since they are marketed toward gamers. Your choice should perform rather nicely with all the "bling" of the other model families.
