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…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different

Nice board on computer components

When installing, the bezel that is supposed to hold the CPU didn't catch on the screw the first few times I tried to install it. Otherwise no problem. good board

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Hard to tell

What you need to know before you buy

I bought this from Revain in very good condition with an ad saying it would have all the materials but perhaps the box would be damaged and there were no extras. Excellent. But it came in standard packaging, with no manual, with the wrong I/O screen. He had one for Tuf Gaming Z490 Plus Wifi. and they added regular SATA cables. There were fingerprints on the battery. I assume it was removed to reset the CMOS. At least the supplied CD-DVD drivers. I downloaded it and it took a while to restart…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old

Inheritance is broken. The third and its built-in ethernet broke like the others.

Built-in Ethernet failed after a few months. Just avoid z490 motherboards, IMHO. This is my 4th mobo this year and everyone has had issues. this is my 3rd try of this brand/model. This last one (and my last one, I won't buy ASUS/Intel anymore) actually worked to this day. replaced my GTX 1070 with an RTX 3070. The card swap went smoothly and the card works great, but once I booted up the onboard ethernet port just stopped working. The last 2 were DoA, took a month to die. Luckily I had PCI…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Power outlet required

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Boring Packaging
