EXELLENT QUALITY MOTHERBOARD Overall, the board was a great selection. The startup issue in previous year problems in the bios were resolved. The board fits nicely in the Corsair 7000x ATX case. You have to research the board to make sure you put the M.2 into the correct location, or your video card lanes will be reduced. Also, the 1st slot for the M,2 is for 5.0 M,2. Not Generation 4. One thing I noticed about the Z790-3 Wi-Fi for the 13th Generation CPU's is the board has additional capacitors that are eliminated on the newer 14th generation boards. Was a nice addition for the thermal pads located on the plates for the M.2 drives. And also, the swing bolt brackets for the M.2 drives to hold them in place was a game changer over having to try to get that tiny screw in there. Well presented in the packaging. My son loved the key chain that was in the box. The board Lighting is great, and the board just looks beefy, and quality made. I Have had nothing but positive builds that last many years without problems with ASUS boards. Thats why I keep coming back. They last forever and even hold a re-sale value when it's time to upgrade. I Have tried other brands through the years, but the top-notch ASUS keeps on ticking. Will never buy another brand other than ASUS. There just Quality. Period. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Buy it! All our Houshold computers are ASUS Boards. Their quality and value are well worth the price
