ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi Motherboard Review

This is the fourth out of five boards I am reviewing for ASUS alone for the 11th Gen Intel Launch. While I may be a day behind the launch, we are getting there! This time we have the ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi motherboard. ROG STRIX is known as probably one of the top brands in the PC Gaming sector and while some may joke about ‘ROG TAX’ there is no denying the quality and performance that they have to offer. ROG STRIX boards are generally feature-rich and easy on the eyes, some might even throw around words like sleek and sexy when describing them.
