Im honestly so fed up with these manufacturers labeling things as 'white' when they arrive and look like industrial silver or grey concrete... it literally ruins the look of my Lian Li build and I'm ready to just return everything and start over. I need a legit white Z790 board that actually looks clean and can handle my 14900k without melting.
Requirements:
- true white color or heavy shrouding
- around $450 budget max
- good ddr5 stability for 7200mhz
- built in wifi 6e or better
im trying to get this finished by next weekend for my stream so any real world suggestions would be great because the stock photos are total lies...

I totally get the frustration with silver boards, it's honestly disappointing how misleading those renders are. Most high-end options are just brushed aluminum. If you want a legit white PCB that handles 7200mhz without breaking the bank, the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE DDR5 is basically your only real shot under $300. It's way cheaper than overhyped silver boards and looks clean in a Lian Li build.
