BIOSTAR Z790 VALKYRIE LGA1700 Motherboard Review

Motherboards/Intel LGA1700 by stefan @ 2022-12-25

While the Z790 VALKYRIE motherboard from BIOSTAR gets sometimes lower scores in benchmarks versus the EVGA Z690 CLASSIFIED which has a more mature UEFI, it compensates by having better expansion options (3 full-sized PCIe slots, no less than five M.2 for storage, individually detachable heatsinks, but also quite a bit of headers). It incorporates a 20-phase design, shielded slots, a lot of headers for fans and USB ports but also a debug LED display for signaling errors.

While the first part of the test was conducted with a Crucial 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-4800 memory kit, in the second stage we did use a Sabrent Rocket 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 kit which we did overclock to 6000MHz and note if it holds up in terms of stability:
