Got the Z590 variant myself, really happy with it.
The software sucks though, but i don't use it since the RGB can be disabled in the BIOS.

Love your thorough reviews Hilbert!
VRM's looks great under full load but that 400 watts of a power draw at OC is insane!
I wonder how those ~ new $200 or less MB would do...

Disable RGB ? You must be trippin ... totaly nuts . Its free performance. I'm sure Hilbert soon will post benchmarks of RBG Technology. You can expect gains along with the one of DLSS.
True story.
