Review on πŸ”₯ 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 Philip Wagner

Fantastic for overclocking.

I was able to overclock all cores to 5.0GHz on an air-cooled i7-10700k without much trouble. I was able to turn it up a bit, but lowered the temperature to a safe level. The only issue I had with the board was the additional chipset fan. I set it up for kicks but it doesn't do anything. The fan never turned up and wasn't even registered in the BIOS. I'm not sure if the fan itself died or if it's a problem with the fan controller. Other than that, it's a fantastic board with typical ASUS build quality and the best BIOS in the industry. would recommend.
