I just noticed New Egg has these in stock I'm still using the Z690 with DDR4 but this is cheap enough where it would be worth it for the DDR5.
Back when I bought my Z690 there wasn't any DDR5 Ram to be had anywhere except a few scalpers.

That was the board I was going to get, but at the time they did not have it in stock and needed something asap. I also never had issues with any TUF boards that I have used in other builds or for myself. Personally I think it's one of those good all around boards for the cost.

Ended up with the Z790-E Strix, much more expensive but a nice board. (I had a Z490 version before hand)

I was gonna go with the TUF DDR5 but saw the Z790-H is newer and only $20 more, seemed to be slightly better so why not, wanted a nice motherboard. Hopefully won't regret not doing the TUF, idk how accurate their marketing about more reliable components, ESD guards etc... maybe some of that is incorporated into the Strix-H... Last motherboard was an Asus Z97i Plus and that's still going solid after almost 9 years.
