ASRock Z590 Steel Legend WiFi 6E Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The ASRock Z590 Steel Legend WiFi 6E utilizes neutral tones that mesh well with a wide variety of components, but the board would work best with a silver or white-themed build.
The RGB on the ASRock Z590 Steel Legend WiFi 6E is quite good, with excellent brightness and good diffusion.

As Intel's 11th Gen CPUs are not yet available, I will be reviewing Z590 motherboards with my 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10900K. Once 11th Gen launches, I will publish updated reviews with new benchmarks and overclocking results.
