Sleek, Streamlined MOBO
The NZXT N7 Z790 ATX Motherboard is a fantastic addition to my PC build. The clean, all-black design fits perfectly with my aesthetic, and the covers for unused components give it a sleek and streamlined look. The build quality and attention to detail are top-notch. My only minor issue was that it couldn’t accommodate an M.2 SSD with a heatsink, so I had to swap for one without. However, this was more of a hassle with the SSD manufacturer than the motherboard itself. All the built-in features work flawlessly, making this a great choice for anyone who appreciates both style and performance. It completed my nearly all-NZXT build perfectly, and I highly recommend it!

Sleek and nice to look at
Very clean don’t mind aio not there, aio is coming tomorrow it’s a kraken plus white. This is a great motherboard with a lot of really nice features, the m.2 was really easy to install and has a heat sink. I paired it with crucial ram to match the look, ide recommend you plug fans on the bottom and not the top of you are trying to make a sleek build,

Perfect motherboard
Works perfectlyHas great durability.As I bought it for nearly half price, I also got great price to performance. Heat sinks are fine, easy to install, manage and etc.Has many I/O ports, 5x M.2 NVME, 4x SATA and etc. which makes it way better.

Do not buy!
This mother board doesn’t have a bios flashback feature. I followed the instructions provided by Nzxt to upgrade my bios and something went wrong. Dram light on and my computer won’t post. There is no way to flash the bios without the computer posting. Replaced with a new motherboard from another manufacturer and the computer booted right up. Do not buy!

Clean Motherboard
This motherboard is quite pricey but if you ask me it’s worth it if you’re going for an all white clean and very sleek build. The white metal plates covering the motherboard help the clean appearance a lot, this is an overall very appealing motherboard that I’d recommend if you’re willing to pay more than another board, yes they offer the same features and there’s no clear advantage to this other than aesthetic appearance, it has all the same connections and ports every motherboard does, it has the average 24 pin connector and a 6 pin connector at the top left. It’s easy to install as well, just screw it in and you’re done. The motherboard also supports up to 7200 MHz when overclocked according to the manufacturer nzxt, also keep in mind if you’re planning to buy this motherboard it ONLY supports LGA1700 cpus which are Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th gen processors. You also don’t have to worry about 14th gen compatibility because it’s 14th gen compatible out of the box which is great for avoiding bios updates and such. All in all this is a great motherboard if you’re willing to pay the extra cash even though there is no performance advantage. The one issue I have is with the usb 3.0 connector being next to the 24 pin connector in a weird angle which makes it stand out more than it should, this is the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

Clean Look!!!
This is a super sexy board that will make an all white build look amazing. Underneath it’s an AsRock board with an NZXT custom BIOS that is prety easy to use. The only gripe I have with the IO is no BIOS Flashback button so keep that in mind if you are going with the Z690 model and are running 13th or 14th Gen. Also if you aren’t running NZXT fans the CAM software is kinda terrible IMO but you don’t have to use it. If you are building a clean white PC this board is a must buy

If you love to build PCs, this is your board…
This board ROCKS!!! All you would expect and more. Makes your build stand out. Best reliability, looking to buy another for more fun. I get a lot of compliments, bad *ss design, highest quality. Hides everything to make the case neat to showcase your creativity. Running Intel i9, 64GB memory, and three nvme M2’s, two OS’s with a big shared storage. NZXT has nothing less than a superior product. Have it for a year now and can’t get enough.

Form over function
This is the Apple equivalent of the motherboards, with super pretty, simple, and elegant lines in the design, but when it comes to the firmware, you can’t tweak or tinker with it, a take it or leave sort of thing. Don’t get me wrong, you can adjust quite a few settings in the BIOS, but you can’t change the voltage to negative values.It’s crucial to flash your firmware to the latest version to ensure support for the 13th-14th Gen Intel CPUs. The support documentation, however, could use some improvement to help us navigate the complexities of the latest chipsets. Let’s offer a notification process through the CAM software so we can keep up with the latest updates.I used Intel Extreme Tuning to change the P-CORE ratios from 55 to 53 to limit the power draw and ensure stability. Though not an NZXT issue, per se. The CAM software could also use some improvements; it feels rudimentary for the power users’ needs and can’t reset to the default configuration without deleting JSON config files or reinstalling the software after completely removing it. The power plant for the cooling fans could also use more intelligence, some context from the CPU/GPU telemetry, to run them efficiently instead of having me run a battery of trial and error to figure it out.

Arrived defective and not switching on at all.See attached video, I ruled out it’s my PSU by attaching it to my old computer and verifying my old motherboard works. When attaching it to my new computer where I have the NZXT Z890 it does not worksVery disappointing for this price.

Fisicamente tiene una apariencia como producto de gama alta, pero tiene grandes deficiencias tecnicas.- No tiene un boton para update- No tiene una usb asignado para update- Se necesita un procesador intel 13th obligatoriamente.Lo que la hace inutilizable con la generación 14th.- La documentación del producto es nula, encontraras más soluciones con reddit.El manual solo es una hojita de datos que te dice donde va el USB.- Las coberturas imantadas estan mal diseñadas y al recolocarse puedes dañar el cromo.- Sin documentación no te enteras que hay una limitada linea de RAMs compatibles- Una limitada linea de RTX40 compatible- Recomiendan esperar entr 5-60 minutos en el primer boot, por la mala configuración- Algunas RAM las debes bootear una por una, conectas, prendes y apagas, conectas la siguente y repites.Estos son solo algunos de los problemas que me sucedieron y pude documentar.

とにかくかっこよいので性能ではなく見た目で買ったが不満は無い。たしかにスペックはさほど高くはないので性能を求めるなら別を買うべき。しなしCPU補助電源が片方を半分にしなければならないのでマザーボードをつける前に刺した方が指にとっていいと思う。
