First board didn't work

Like some before me, everything was great for the first 1.5 weeks, then I turned it off and never booted up again. Just got back from the PC store and they think it must be the board as it's not getting power. I love the look, will try again and if it works I'll upvote because the board looks really great. Update: Second board, same problem. Ended up getting a refund and switching to gigabyte vision d

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • definitely bad product

All the bad reviews: Internals

I wish I could read the reviews. These are all 1 star reviews xD True I love the minimalistic design of this mobo but after 3 weeks it turned off and never turned on again. I'm giving it back and going with someone reliable. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Empty

Will not turn on on motherboards

As many have heard, I turned off my computer and it would not turn on. I checked the power supply, everything is fine. Case checked, everything ok. The problem was with the motherboard. Revain is sending a replacement that will hopefully work better. If the new one is also defective it will hopefully stop working within 30 days, which is why it's covered by Revain's return policy.

Pros
  • Full Set
Cons
  • Weak Set

Good motherboard z490

Excellent motherboard. No complaints. Has all the features a z490 should have and everything works fine, the default xmp profile 1 also worked without problems on 4 sticks of RAM. A couple of USB 3.2 and -C are also very good, USB-C for connection to the front panel on the case is also welcome. If you want RGB there are more headers on the board than I think you need, +1 if you want RGB. This is also combined with the NZXT body, RGB controller and CAM software, I see hate on the internet…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Minor issues

Basic but great looks and performance

I really like that this motherboard comes with multiple RGB headers and CPU fan headers for customization. The board is visually appealing and performs well even when overclocked with RAM (maximum 128GB of 4200Hz DDR4 RAM is a nice touch, but still overkill). M.2 drives work wonders and feature numerous SATA hard drive slots for 4 expansions for even more space. However, I can't give more than 4/4.5 out of 5 because I have a few picky opinions, although M.2 is Gen3, not Gen4, for example, rear…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Not quite as good as it says it is

Carefully does not turn on again after turning off

I should have read other reviews, it seems this is a common problem. It worked great for a couple of weeks and nothing. After turning off, it cannot be turned on again. I think this is the nicest motherboard available, but it's obvious that NZXT has issues that need to be addressed with this motherboard first.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Periodicity

Died a week later, the second RAM didn't work.

Would be cool if it actually worked. Died two weeks later. Luckily I bought this through Revain - if the one I'm buying next actually works I'll give it a higher rating. During the amazing two weeks I had it was amazing. Wireless and bluetooth were blazing fast, good looking, dummy connections (although the regular RGB connectors are in a bit of an odd place). Edit: No, my replacement didn't work. I just always got the DRAM meter no matter the slot or no matter what RAM I used. Sorry but I will

Pros
  • Like all before
Cons
  • Good, but not great

2 faulty motherboards in a row - BUYERS BEWARE

I wanted this board to work, be nice and super clean. but the first one i bought seemed to have some release issues. After repeatedly pressing the reset button on the back of the board, it finally decides to boot. Everything worked fine for about 1 month. One day it went off and then wouldn't come on again. I pressed the reset button again, still won't turn on. Press the reset button again, now it turns on with the reset button. OK. but i will not post for the life of me. Second motherboard…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Hard to tell
