In many ways, the ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi II is quite similar to its elder brother. It boasts a next-gen PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, WiFi 7, a premium ROG SupremeFX audio solution, and five total onboard M.2 slots. Some sensible subtractions from the spec sheet differentiate this motherboard from the ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II — its M.2 slots are all wired for PCIe 4.0 speeds, its VRM doesn’t have quite as many power stages, and it doesn’t offer as many USB 10Gbps ports on its rear panel. Yet its lower price point should make it a compelling option for PC builders for whom those features are tempting luxuries, not strict necessities.

How does WiFi 7 achieve these higher speeds? It starts with ultra-wide 320MHz channels that allow WiFi 7 routers to deliver higher performance and larger capacity.** 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) allows for greater amounts of data to be more densely embedded in each signal. Additionally, multi-link operation (MLO) allows devices simultaneously transmit and/or receive across different bands and channels, with separation of data and control planes.*** The parallel links enable faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth, with more reliable WiFi connections on multiple concurrently used bands. DIMM Flex dynamically adjusts memory controller behavior based on current memory temperature to optimize performance while ensuring stability. It uses real-time temperature data from a thermal sensor integrated close to the memory slots to make frequency adjustments. The CPU temps were 90+ deg C most of the time, quite. a lot at 100 deg C..coolant temps are also v high 52-54
