The list is really long, so I won’t tell you about everything, as many things are easy to understand or less important.
In the manual, we can find a diagram with all the components listed. For our readers’ convenience, it’s below. Please click on it to see the full size.
The same as all SUPERO motherboards, also the C9Z790-CGW is well-equipped. There are two LAN ports, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, multiple fast USB ports, DP and HDMI ports.
On the motherboard is also a power and reset button, diagnostic LED display, and multiple monitored fan connectors. For the first time, the Supermicro motherboard has addressable RGB connectors (two) and supports external RGB devices.
On the next page, I will show you product photos and will tell you some more about the motherboard components.
