Coil whine under load
In and of itself, a great motherboard with very good features. However, my copy had an enormous coil whine under load. The noise was very audible even through the housing with fans and at a distance of 2 metres. Unfortunately, there are many reports about this on the Internet. My copy was returned.

Almost perfect
I upgraded to the 13900K and also wanted to upgrade to a new board, as the 4090 GPU was covering the one PCI Xpress slot I had to remove my 10Gibt LAN card to make room for an expansion card for M.2.
Accordingly, I decided on the AORUS Master because both PCI Express slots can be used with a 4090.
In addition, a 10Gbit interface is already installed, which is unfortunately very rare even on high-priced motherboards. Asus, for example, only uses 2.5 or 5Gbit.
The only drawback is the sound interface, which only works via digital/optical output because there are no analogue connection fields.
I have now solved this very satisfactorily with your Soundblaster AE7.Pro

Perfection
I've tried quite a few motherboards in my life, mid-range, high-end, but Aorus... this is something else, the materials are super solid, the bios firmware is just perfect, with all the problems that Intel processors have, with the Aorus master z790 it's solved with a small bios update, I have an i9 13900k and everything is under control with this motherboard. In short, a gem.
