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.

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.
