Review on 🔥 ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming Motherboard: WiFi 6, Intel 10th Gen, ATX, 14+2 Power Stages, DDR4 4600, Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet by Joseph Lang

This is an incredibly beautiful board. So if you want to impress family and friends, this board is perfect. The specifications of this board are not as advertised. The expected high performance is not achieved, since the main functions and operational options do not work well, so all attempts in terms of overclocking and tuning have not been successful. The motherboard specifications indicate a supported memory frequency of up to 4600 MHz depending on the installed memory. I have a quality 3600MHz memory with the specs listed on the ASUS website, so I expected it to run at least 3600MHz. On first boot, the BIOS lowered the memory frequency to 2400MHz (this is the native frequency of all memory slots), which is very far from the advertised frequency. Asus does not disclose the native clock for any motherboard specification. After a lot of effort and trying, I finally got it working at 3000MHz. This is very frustrating and I feel like ASUS and the reseller are scolding me. ASUS technical support has not provided any inventive advice to directly solve the described problem. It feels like I spent all that time buying the Core I9-10900K, other high quality components and a significant amount of money for the purchase - all for nothing! If that doesn't bother you, buy ASUS!
