ASRock Z790 Taichi & Z790 Taichi Carrara
Influenced by Italian Carrara marble's strength and prestige, the Special Edition Z790 Taichi Carrara features a striking marbled shroud cover across the motherboard. A matching cooling fan is bundled, enabling users to continue the exquisite design through the PC build.

ASRock has created an incredibly powerful 24+1+2 phase Smart Power Stage (SPS) Dr.MOS VRM design on the Z790 Taichi series, providing users an extremely capable LGA1700 platform that's ready to unlock 6 GHz CPU performance! The motherboard provides both PCI-Express 5.0 16x primary slot for the latest graphics cards, and a PCI-Express 5.0 M.2 slot for the latest, ultra-high speed NVMe SSDs.

60 W PD 3.0 fast charging is built in, ensuring compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops can take advantage of quicker recharge times while users are at their PC, and without the need for a costly PD charger.

ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi & Z790 PG Riptide
The ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi & Z790 PG Riptide both offer PCI-Express 5.0 16x primary slot for graphics cards, plus a Blazing M.2 PCI-Express 5.0 M.2 slot is available for the latest ultra-high speed NVMe SSDs. Its large, multi-layer M.2 heatsink ensures optimal cooling for storage devices, avoiding any throttling.

Dual networking, with Dragon 2.5G Ethernet and the latest WiFi 6E, is built into the Z970 Steel Legend, giving users the freedom to choose multi-gig connections. A 16+1+1 SPS Dr.MOS VRM with a generous cooling heatsink ensures all LGA1700 processors can reach their full potential.

Both motherboards offer wide ranging expansion and storage add-in possibilities, and their 2 oz copper PCB ensures better thermal performance under sustained heavy load.

ASRock Z790 PG Lightning & Z790 Pro RS
Targeting the best mix of high quality and great features at an affordable price, ASRock is pleased to introduce the new Lightning brand into the Phantom Gaming line up.

The Z790 Pro RS includes Nahimic Audio for outstanding sound experiences, M.2 WiFi expansion slot for easy connectivity upgrades, and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 20 Gbps front panel IO expansion option.

Both motherboards offer four PCI-Express 4 M.2 NVMe SSD slots, ensuring class-leading expansion opportunity with incredible performance. In addition, powerful Dragon 2.5G Ethernet, convenient integrated IO shield and 14+1+1 Dr.MOS power phases with an extra-large VRM heatsink ensures reliable performance for every LGA1700 processor. Both DDR4 and DDR5 versions are available providing more choice to meet the needs of PC builders.

I looked around a bit and saw that and the x670e was $500 so im assuming it'll be around that. Bleh, sad day when mbs are just as much as or more than the CPU!

The Z690 is 380ish with the promo code.
Also, yeah, it doesn't make sense to put the LGA socket on so expensive boards, if it happens to bend the pins, there will be a dead mobo, not a dead CPU, which is less expensive.
Weird times, indeed :(
