MSI Pro Z490 ATX 🔧 Motherboard - Intel LGA 1200, DDR4-SDRAM Review

MSI usually has very high-quality things, which is how this card turned out. The price bites a little, but whoever saves will not get all the goodies from this motherboard, so seriously think about what you buy for your favorite computer.

A small delivery set, 2 sata cables, a back plate for the board, bolts for an M2 ssd, a disk (which no one most likely uses), there is no detailed description of the motherboard connectors. When buying, there was the most ancient BIOS, so that everything would work well, you need to immediately install the the MSI website

It was well packed, the quality of the materials is excellent, it works with an Intel core i5 11400f processor in conjunction with A-Data 3200 MHz 2x8 RAM and an AMD RX 6600 video card, everything is super, it started right away, put the latest firewood on the BIOS to unlock the full potential of the processor, we'll see further) I took it for 10500, its price tag, well, the edge is 12022

Good motherboard for the price-quality with a margin of performance and reliability. For enthusiasts of beautiful design, there are still connectors for connecting LED strips, as well as rgb backlighting for coolers. So the cons, one might say, are reduced to zero.

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…

Decent motherboard with a performance and reliability margin for the price-quality ratio. For those who like stunning design, LED strip connectors and coolers with RGB illumination are still available. So, one may say that the drawbacks are eliminated.

A little delivery kit, two sata cables, a board back plate, bolts for an M2 SSD, a disk (which nobody probably uses), and no specific information on the motherboard connectors are included. In order for everything to function properly after purchase, you have to immediately install the MSI website.

Different pros: Good motherboard, no frills, but with cool overclocking capabilities. With its cons. The contacts on the socket were slightly deformed. Corrected manually.

In general, everything suits, the z490 chipset is one of the cheapest solutions. There are cheaper gigs and asroks, but I didn’t dare to save a thousand or two, msi inspires more confidence and didn’t lose, I don’t experience any problems with the board Some pros: In general, everything is excellent. A good feeder, the memory on the xmp profile started up by clicking, I haven’t driven it yet, but I plan to in the future. A clear and convenient BIOS, all the necessary connectors for connections,

The motherboard was purchased for the 10400 processor. Of course, buying a mother at the price of a processor is not very common, but I wanted a z490 chipset for overclocking memory, and this motherboard is almost the lowest cost + was in close stock - I decided. Before that, exactly a year ago, there was a relatively unpleasant story with MSI X470 on AMD (the system did not boot, later it was decided). Then I almost swore off taking MSI mothers, but now the price has declined + I thought that…

Someone wrote about a quiet sound. I am fine. Maybe just somewhere in the settings the volume was displayed? Pros below: high-quality MP, everything basic is there. Massive VRM heatsinks, but did not interfere with the installation of the tower. a decent amount of 4 pin fan connectors, I was just enough for 4 case fans and 2 for the CPU cooler. There was a big tower, while not interfering with the memory radiators. The heatsink on the M2 is not superfluous, after all, the PCI-E drive heats up…

I bought a year ago for 12880, everything started out of the box and never had any problems. Immediately ated the BIOS (everything is intuitive and fast) The board has the coolest potential for overclocking, the memory from 3600 easily ran to 4300, plus the stone (10600k) keeps 5100Hz for all cores (it heats up of course, but dropsy helps out) In short, I am very pleased with the board.

In fact, the board has a lot of advantages, but so that the review does not turn into another semi-advertising post, I will write about what I specifically checked out the most. Although I don't feel very good about msi itself because of its marketing and warranty policies; I took this motherboard as the most reasonable choice among all the initial motherboards based on the Z490, based on the available theoretical layouts: it has a relatively good reinforced 6-phase power supply, which in…

Proc 10400F, M.2 Samsung 970 250G, RAM 1x16G hyperX(hdd, dvd.) The power supply of the processor is 8 + 4, I had to change the PSU (although if you don’t drive it, you can get by with 4 pins, you can plug it into both 4 pins and half 8 pins, they are parallel). When installing intel firewood (I don’t remember which ones), it asked to leave SATA or switch to ACHI (something like that), I answered yes, and when I rebooted, I got a cyclic reboot (the cpu, dram diodes flashed alternately on the…

I decided to leave a review to warn future and current (if they are here) owners of this motherboard. The manufacturer has incorporated support for new 11th generation processors into the component, as well as pci-e 4.0 and re-size BAR for rtx30xx, BUT this is still "in words". The computer costs 11600kf and rtx3060 (GPU-Z shows its operation in pci-e 4.0 mode), percent and RAM are in stock. ated bios to 7C75v28 and got random reboots and system freezes. In CSM + re-size BAR mode, the BIOS does
