Our take on the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi
The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi is an LGA 1700 motherboard for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core chips. At a tracked $279.99 the price held steady across nine checks from August 9 to October 19, 2026.
It uses DDR5 only, supports up to 128GB of memory and lists PCIe 5.0. Networking is WiFi 6E and 2.5 Gb Ethernet, which matters for a stream because a wired connection steadies your upload. The board has 18+1 power stages and a heatsink on the M.2 slots. Because it only takes DDR5, older DDR4 sticks will not fit. Retailer rating is 4.2 across 675 ratings.
