What are peoples' thoughts on the Asus Prime Z790-P/V Wifi? (alien.top)

So...I've been trying to plan a build and was about to pull the trigger on either a 12900k or 13700k (microcenter bundles), but when I looked at the reviews of the motherboards included (similar motherboard in both bundles, 12900k has the V, 13700k has the P), I started noticing that some of the reviews were bad. While they dont look AS bad as what a lot of the AMD bundles are dealing with, it's enough to give me pause to buy.

So...how bad is this model? Is it really as bad as some people say it is? What are your experiences with it? The other parts of the bundle look great, it's mostly the motherboard on this one that looks sketchy.

EDIT: 12900k bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006593/intel-core-i9-12900k,-asus-z790-v-prime-wifi-ddr5,-gskill-ripjaws-s5-32gb-kit-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

13700k bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006461/intel-core-i7-13700k,-asus-z790-p-prime-wifi-ddr5,-gskill-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

Have you had any issues with USB disconnects or the ethernet dropping out or anything like that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

None that I can speak of from personal experience. The PC has been in pretty much daily use for a few months now without Ethernet dropping or any of the USB devices disconnecting (mouse, microphone, keyboard, printer, portable drive).

Ok, mightve been an isolated issue then, no one else in this thread mentioned anything either. I just brought it up since i had some people in other threads mention it to me and a lot of reviews on newegg seemed to mention significant problems.

I think internet issues were fixed long time back as there was an issue with Intel ethernet getting disconnected, the newer drivers have definitely fixed them as I have seen no new reports of issues anywhere online, I myself pulled a trigger and purchased an 14700KF build today along with Asus ROG Z790-H wifi, Gskill 7200 CL34 32gb kit and 990 pro 2TB which I got for a great deal, even though prices where I live is much higher than US I can say it was worth the route I took to build, I also explored the option of AMD as the 7800X3D cost just $10 more than 14700KF but the motherboard for AM5 are just ridiculously high where I live and even the B650 E-F costs more and I thought it wasn't worth the price I would spend overall even though I would have loved the AMD build personally.

Yeah my thing with microcenter's 7800x3d bundle is the parts seem to have so many QC issues i don't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole.
