    Very nice motherboard

    I wanted a motherboard for my brand-new Core i9 14900k processor, and there's nothing better than this motherboard bearing the image of our childhood hero, Sonic. What can I say about this new motherboard apart from the fact that it offers cutting-edge features such as 2 PCI-Express 16x ports (1 of which is reinforced) compatible with AMD Crossfire, 5 NVMe-compatible M.2 ports, a Realtek ALC897 audio processor and a Killer E3100G 2.5Gb controller for an impeccable connection?

    A motherboard for my new configuration

    I took this motherboard for an upgrade of my configuration (it's one of the only one that takes the number of HDD and SSD I have), I went from an I7 7700K with a ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING to an I9 13900KF with this excellent ASRock Z790 PG SONIC, I really saw the difference, quality level is at the rendezvous, the only small thing that misses for me is the Bluetooth, but we can install a WiFi M.2 card to solve this problem.
