Hi guys,

So I’m considering to build a new pc with an i5 1600k and a 4070. I was looking at motherboards, when I found one from ROG which was a maximus Z690 hero that was $350 off, going from $600 to $250. However, it only has a Z690 chipset and I found various Z790 boards around the same price. Should I make use of the great deal for the first one or should I disregard that one and get a motherboard with a newer chipset but less features?

    Nothing wrong with a Z690 board. I decided to go higher end z690 instead of lower end z790. Needed a bios update, no big deal.

    Just double check that you can update your bios without a CPU.
