Review on πŸ’» ASUS TUF Gaming Z490-Plus ATX Motherboard: Intel 10th Gen, LGA 1200, 12+2 Power Stages, USB 3.2 Front Panel Type-C, 1Gb LAN, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header & Aura Sync by Michael Reddy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

actually it's 4.5 out of 5 for me

i like mobo but aura sync won't even start. I had some stability issues after overclocking, but everything works great now. Do your research, it was a bit of a learning curve for me even though I've overclocked before. I overclocked my i5 10600k to 5.1Ghz fairly easily, but I had to drop it down to 4.9 because it fried a bit in some games and crashed a few times. It was fun to play with and there are many small tweaks to explore and get more performance out of. I just really wish RGB stuff worked better since I've put a ton of stuff into this board and I'm stuck with everything working out of the box. But it still looks very cool, maybe I'll get a job in the future. I also think some applications have been added to my windows that I don't really need. Overall it seems quite expensive for the money and looks incredibly well built and tuff.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
