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 ethernet from my isuses with last tries with this mobo. There are serious flaws in this product and I'm done with ASUS motherboards.

Pros
