Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

As a owner of Z790 Arous Elite AX , I'd rate the board 7/10. Wifi on the newer versions ver1.2+ is Realtek instead of Intel AX ones which sucks tbh especially in driver updates. Gigabyte RGB Fusion is the worst, my Cooler Master ARGB and Gskill Z5 Ram's desync randomly, Openning Gigabyte Control Centre makes all the RGB blinking continuously until i restart. Motherboard doesn't have Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology drivers till now, enabling DTT in bios enables two Unknown device which are unidentified. I solved the issue by manually updating their drivers from Device Manager from Dell Driver Packages. You also don't get any extra goodies in the box like stickers and all, just Wifi and 2 SATA cables.
As for the price and features like Power Phases, 3PCIe full slots, 4 NVME drives, i think it can be a decent choice if not certainly.
