Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build a new PC and I'm looking for some advice. Here's the setup I'm planning:
- **CPU**: Intel i9-14900K (LGA 1700)
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance 2x32GB DDR5-7200 CL34 with white RGB
What I'm searching for is a white ATX Z790 motherboard that checks all these boxes:
- Supports DDR5-7200 CL34
- Comes with a 10Gb Ethernet port for fiber and NAS setups
- Includes Wi-Fi 6E/7 and Bluetooth
- Standard ATX size
- Has RGB LEDs to go with my build (you know, to 'boost FPS', haha)
- Offers solid overall performance
Also, if anyone has tips on keeping RGB lighting cohesive while using parts from different brands like NZXT, Aorus, and Corsair, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

You might want to check out using filters on PCPartPicker for your motherboard search. That's usually pretty helpful!
Finding a white mobo with 10Gb Ethernet could be tricky. You might consider using an add-in card for the 10Gb, it makes things easier. Just note, there aren't many 10Gb cards that are white though.
What’s your take on the N7 Z790? I’m thinking I could add a 10Gb PCIe card since it has 2.5Gb. I love the look of it, but I'm not sure about the specs.
I tried that, but it doesn't have enough filters. The board I found only supports 2.5Gb Ethernet, and some options are just missing even if they match my criteria!
