MSI MEG Z490 GODLIKE

This is the only board I have. This is E-ATX, so pay attention to the case size. With the water-cooled Corsair H150i, the board is cooled to around 30 degrees; without a water cooler, the processor heats up to around 90 degrees Celsius. I like having 128MB of RAM. Remember that the center post is under the M2-1 cover, so install the cover after installing the MB. When connecting an M2 expansion card, note that one of the wires goes to the JFP1 connector and the two-wire connector that normally fits into the JFP1 part connects to the JCASE connector on the M2 expansion card. There is a tiny white dot on this cable to help you locate the connector. Read this manual page very carefully - fine print. The white dot is positive. The book that came with the MB is good, but it wouldn't hurt to discuss the connector's capabilities more. This MB is a great product. I use a wifi antenna to connect to the internet and am getting 866/866 Mbps at home instead of a 100 Mbps wired connection. Of course, my broadband internet connection reduces my bandwidth. I highly recommend this MB.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Does not fit all
