ASUS reveals the pricing structure of their ROG, TUF and Prime Z590 motherboard lineups

ASUS DE has revealed the European pricing of their Z590 motherboard lineup, the platform which will act as the backbone of Intel’s 11th Generation Rocket Lake processor lineup. High-end motherboard models will feature WIFI 6E, Thunderbolt 4 support, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 ports and plenty of PCIe 4.0 connectivity. Add on options like liquid cooling, and we have motherboards that can cost more than $1,500. 

Earlier this week we reported on the pricing of MSI’s Z590 lineup, which saw their flagship Z590 GODLIKE be priced at €999. This pricing makes MSI’s GODLIKE more expensive than ASUS’ ROG MAXIMUS XIII Extreme and much less expensive than the MAXIMUS XIII Extreme Glacial. 

High-end PC building is becoming a costly hobby, though it is worth remembering that you need not spend more than €1000 to have a great CPU and motherboard.
