I'll be picking up a 13900k and a Z790 Aorus Master this holiday season. Can't wait

For me the DDR4 board numbers stand out. Not much loss from DDR5.

I would love this board but $500 ? - too rich.


Also:

Real link for Gigabyte Z790 UD at $199 - https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145420?quicklink=true

Article link hits the Z690 - which might be the better deal.

And add a GC-MAPLE RIDGE card and you get 2x TB4 ports. Since it has to be slotted in the chipset slot, it's far enough from the graphics card to not impede the cooling.

Note to editor: there's a mistake in the specs of the mobo on top: it lists a 2.5Gbe NIC
