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.

The UEFI Interface Part I

The UEFI interface of the Z790 VALKYRIE board does sport a familiar look, with some monitoring details on the left column, but also various menus in the top area. F5 key will activate the options to modify the fan curves, while F6 will allow configuration of the RGB setup. EZ Mode is also available for fast configuration and on the Main area we will learn more about the current UEFI release, the installed RAM but also can adjust the system language/date/time:

The Advanced menu covers multiple sub-sections:

Connectivity Options

CPU Configuration

SATA Configuration

WMD Configuration

Thunderbolt Configuration

Trusted Computing

ACPI Settings
