After the exceptional ASRock B650E PG-ITX motherboard which we reviewed last week, we’re going to take a look at another tiny motherboard from ASRock. This time it will be Z790 PG-ITX/TB4, which supports the latest and fastest Intel 13th-generation processors. Besides that, we can count on PCIe 5.0, Thunderbolt 4, a fast network, and multiple gaming features that enrich the experience. Let’s not make this introduction any longer and move to the specifications and features to know what we will test on the next pages of this review.
I would like to thank ASRock for providing the review sample. This is a snippet from what ASRock has to say about themselves on their website:
