As shown above, only one ROG Z790 Maximum board has thus far been listed by the retailer, and it’s the flagship Extreme board available at a ridiculous price of 1400 EUR. Interestingly, this is actually 100 EUR more expensive than the ASUS AMD X670E Extreme version sold by the same retailer.
There is no Gene, Hero or Formula here, though, which are likely to fill the gap between the Extreme and ROG Strix-E at 699.90 EUR. The cheapest Micro-ATX board is the ROG Strix-I at 629.90 EUR. It is also worth mentioning two boards from other companies than ASUS. MSI’s Tomahawk DDR4 variant will cost 429.90 EUR while Gigabyte’s AORUS Elite AX will retail at 369.90 EUR.
Update: Intel Z790 motherboards have also been listed in France. Here the pricing looks even better, with Z790 boards costing ‘only’ 270 EUR for the most basic variant.
