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.

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.

What you get is the ability to oc the cpu and more pcie lanes. I used to be in the camp of spending more for the ability to add this and that in the future, but my personal experience is that I don't add anything much after the initial build. So if you are like me, and just have one or two storage drives and need only one slot for a gc, and have no need for oc, then the B series offers the same thing. Other thing to consider are audio chipset and # rj45 jack and their speed, if that matters to you.

I don't add any later. Also overclocking doesn't make sense to me as instead of paying more for overclocking, I may just use the amount for a better CPU, also overclocking is leading to unstable and extra money on the cooler, I may miss something but that's what I seeing now

Wifi for portable devices, but desktop I would prefer LAN, fast and stable but maybe just me though

Upper tier doesn't mean top end 600$ board. Big difference.
I also said the price is "fair" as in this is what I would expect to see as normal for this class of motherboard. This isn't mid range at all. B760 gaming board is mid range for 160$
I would personally not get this. And pci express gen 5 is very silly right now anyways. People can't even utilize nvme gen 3 speeds let alone anything more then that

Used hmm. Seems like a lot for something that could randomly die with no warranty support and who knows how it was treated before. Motherboard is something I would never recommend buying use.

So quite a big difference actually.
