Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please.

ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi Intel® Z790 LGA 1700 ATX motherboard,

Will this motherboard work with, be compatible with the following components..

Intel i9-13900K.

Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler(I think this is a yes, but thought id ask anyway.

And last two points.
Does this motherboard have Bluetooth.

And would I need to get an M.2 with the heatsink.
Or does it have an included one on the MB?

As the AMD board I was looking at said it had one included.
But I decided to stay with Intel, as I have used them in my last couple PCs.


Any help with the compatibility of the above items with that motherboard, So I can order it ad them is greatly appreciated.

Still cant seem to find the right DDR5 6000mhz ram, low profile. The search continues.

Thank you for any help.

The complete specs for your board can be found at https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z790-e-gaming-wifi-model/spec/
Compatibility can be found at https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z790-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_qvl_cpu/

Note that memory compatibility does not mean only those memory modules are compatible. It just means those memory modules were tested to work with the motherboard. I've used RAM that's never been on a board's QVL and only had one hiccup. Though that hiccup was likely due to the XMP settings.

As for the specific questions:

Will this motherboard work with, be compatible with the following components..

Yes, however compatibility with the cooler depends on the RAM you have since the cooler hangs over some of the slots.

Does this motherboard have Bluetooth.

Yes

And would I need to get an M.2 with the heatsink.
Or does it have an included one on the MB?

They're included with the motherboard.

Still cant seem to find the right DDR5 6000mhz ram, low profile. The search continues.

You may want to consider a 360mm AIO cooler. However, the i9-13900K doesn't appear to perform significantly better with faster RAM:

Recently look at the performance differential between DDR5 6000 and 7200 MHz on Raptor-Lake, Intels Gen 13th series processors. Today we review a TeamGroup T-Force Delta 7200 CL34 (!) DDR5 kit to see... Introduction

So if you can find lower profile memory that isn't quite as fast, then you're not going to lose much performance if you go with that.

What is the make/model of your case?
The NH-D15 is 165mm high.
As an alternative, the NH-D15s is 160mm high and will allow for tall ram heat spreaders.
Cooling is only marginally less.
m.2 devices (<gen5)do not need heat sinks.
If you have good airflow over the motherboard, and you will with air cooling, m.2 heat is not an issue.
If the motherboard comes with a m.2 heat sink(many do) go ahead and use it.

Do not chase fast ram for gaming.

Thank you so much for the awesome help .

I have not yet watched the linked YT video, but I will, thank you so much.
So basically this looks like this board is for me, I really appreciate the confirmation.

As RAM, I had planned to get something like this

Amazon.co.uk

I also looked at this

Amazon.co.uk

But could see no real benefit of the Fury, as they are both 6000mhz, and the fury is just more money for nothing, from what I can tell. Aapart from it looks lower profile?

I looked at water cooling, and agree, it looks very cool. (pun intended.) But TBH, and this sounds odd I know, but its more expensive to run.
Which was the reason I didn't go for a 4090 as well. As I have the cash now, to upgrade from my super old rig. But ongoing with energy prices, Id rather keep the running cost as low as possible, as my PC is on most of the day.

I am also used to Air cooling. Having never used water.

I had planned to lift the front fan on the Noctua, to accommodate the ram.
Also a really helpful person on another thread I posted, suggested swapping the front 140mm fan on the cooler, for a 120mm fan on the Noctua, so that would give me more clearance.

This would mean though that I'm left with a 140mm fan that is redundant.
As I have already purchased 4 Noctua 120mm fans.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C5VG64V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(3 for the front/side of the case)
And one for the back. Which I would now look at using on the cooler.

Thank you also for the excellent help.​

​

Knowing I have heatsinks, on that MB, even though it sounds as if they are not needed for the M.2, but its nice to know. <-- not sure wy this in blocks, and wont change back. ​

Thank you as well for the video link, its been a hectic evening, so I want to watch both linked videos, and take them in.

Also I already have the cooler here it arrived two days ago. Im still waiting for the case.
And have not yet ordered the CPU, MB, M.2 or RAM

You also mentioned which case I had bought.
Coincidentally I asked on another thread, with no reply yet if the case I bought about the rear fan mounting. Explained below.

Amazon.co.uk

This case (apparently) is pretty huge, and should 🤞 be way big enough for the cooler, and the 4080.
But The question I asked, and still don't know, is if a 140mm fan (the one off the cooler,) that I would swap for a 120mm. Can be fitted at the rear of the case. Which would help, and save me having to buy another 120mm fan for the rear of the case.
As they are pretty expensive.

I asked on Amazon some folks said yes a 140mm will fit, others said no, only 120mm fans fit the rear.

So basically, Thanks to you both.
✔ Solved that the MB is right for the i9 13900k DDR 5.
✔ And that the cooler should be enough, and have enough room in the case.

I just need to now find out if that Ram is low enough to (even with a 120mm fan fitted, and raised will have the clearance?
EDIT. I also read that the front 140mm Noctua fan could be fitted to the rear of the cooler. This would solve my swapping of fans issue. If the case is big enough.

And if not, if that case will fit a 140mm at the rear.

I had planed to put 3 x 120mm fans at the front (side) of the case.
1 x 120mm at the rear. (or maybe 140mm if fits.
And 1 x 140m on the base of the case. I know it accepts 140mm there. I thought that would be enough, with the combined two fans on the cooler.

Also the Ram is for gaming, but also VR, and Blender sculpting.

Sorry for the detailed explanation. I just am trying to get it right.

Both of your help is very much appreciated.

With the NH-D15 use low profile RAM...regardless make or model.
