Can anyone please explain why a Z790 = 2xB760, and is it's worth to pay more than the other ? Serious question, thanks

The only similar B760 to this model is the gaming plus model from msi for 160$

There is a B760M for micro atx for 100$. And it's lacking tons of features like DDR4 only support, no WiFi, less pci e 4 slots and nvme slots. Seems to be lacking RGB as well. Less vrm cooling. Probably worse power delivery.

So quite a big difference actually.

210 I would say is fair for a upper tier motherboard with every kind of feature you want with ddr5. But be sure to know what board you want. Some msi boards are designed for air cooling and others for water cooling.

This isn't an upper tier board. It doesn't have PCIe 5.0 on either the first 16x slot or the primary M.2 slot. All this has over the older and cheaper Z690 chipset is a WiFi bump from 6 to 6E.

What this does have is very good slot spacing that lets you run a tall 3.75 slot GPU and keep the bottom 2 slots open for a sound card and 10Gbit NIC.
