I’m looking for a solid motherboard compatible with the Z790 chipset. I’ve got a MSI Z790 Tomahawk Wifi with DDR5, but I heard some issues with PCIe lanes from the CPU to nothing on certain boards. Is that the same problem here? I was advised to switch to an Asrock Z790 Riptide Wi-Fi if I have the common Ethernet/DoDA concerns, since I haven’t bought Asrock much. My budget is around $220–230. If you have other suggestions, please share—this board is still sealed and I can return it within the warranty period. Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qVywvj

I’m not sure about the DDR5 version, but my DDR4 board has worked well with my 13600kf.
