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.

Which motherboard will suit my new rig? (alien.top)

Have three alternatives for my new rig.

I will use it with 14700K, 64gb ram and 4080.

Z790-E is a bit pricier than I prefer. Actually I don't need WiFi on desktop computer but all of them have it.

The only difference between Z790-A and Z790-E looks like support for Gen5 SSDs. At this moment I'm going to install a Samsung 990 Pro, i may do without Gen5 SSD in the future, I guess.

Will Asus Rog Strix Z790-A be enough, since it is the cheapest one?

Asus Prime Z790-A Wi-Fi Intel LGA1700 DDR5

Asus Rog Strix Z790-A

Asus Rog Strix Z790-E

I dont care about the sound quality. I use a separate USB amp/dac for headphones and speakers are connected via optic output.

Then surely go with H as it's best bang for buck, I will be using onboard sound temporarily too until I upgrade to AE7 or AE9
