Review on MSI Pro Z490 ATX πŸ”§ Motherboard - Intel LGA 1200, DDR4-SDRAM by Stanislaw Biedka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Bought for 12 thousand. for a home gaming workstation with i7 10700. After turning it on, I immediately ated the BIOS to the latest one so as not to experience negativity during operation. The memory overclocks very well (Not selected Crucial 3600 modules calmly went up to 4000), I didn’t even expect it from such a level of mother. The sound is somewhat dubious, but fortunately there is a separate sound card and I advise you too, since the sound here is not pleasing, such as the ALC 1220-VBcomdec. If you don't need to overclock the 10700K and 10900K, then you can safelycomnsider this board, but don't expect too much from it, as this is the entry board based on the Z490 chipset in the MSI series. If you want to overclock both in the tail and in the mane, then the MSI MEG Z490 Unify is your choice withoutcommpromise. I will add a link to the Z490commparison, with acommplete analysis of power and overclocking ? v=Ojil12GOdLQ&feature=youtu. Be All the best and health.

Pros
  • 1) Price-quality and for the majority of users for the eyes. 2) Drives memory well, extensive compatibility list, convenient, understandable BIOS. 3) The board has all modern interfaces for connecting your components, peripherals, external ports are enough for everyone. 4) Massive heatsinks, heatsink on M2, VRM board cools well, but I do not advise overclocking 10700K, 10900k on it, temperatures will be 75+ degrees, which is already bad in the long term. 5) Not a bad system power supply in fact [6x2] + [1x2] allows you to install from 10400F to 10900T, there is a Debag Led for troubleshooting during assembly. 6) Do not skimp on a normal 2.5G Ethernet network controller. 7) Strict board design.
Cons
  • It can't be that great. We saved on sound, namely, we installed the simplest ALC892 codec. The bundle is poor, 2 sata cables, there is not even a full-fledged primer with a detailed description of the mother's connectors.
