MEDIA REVIEWS

Very good job in the capacity of internal connections with 4 PCIe slots and another 3 M.2, with well distributed lanes to use them all at the same time together with the SATA ports. But on the other hand, USB connectivity has been reduced a bit, with more presence of USB 2.0 and an internal Type-C Gen1 header.

ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi motherboard is designed with boosted power delivery and optimized cooling to cope with the demands of powerful 11^th Generation Intel^® Core™ Rocket Lake processors. Along with the latest Intel^® Wi-Fi 6 and PCI Express^® 4.0 M.2 for superfast transfer speeds and storage, Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi features Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation to ensure clear communication in any scenario. It also looks good, with a stunning silver and gray color scheme that complements the brushed-metal-finish on the heatsinks.
