ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming Z490- WiFi 6, LGA 1200 (Intel 10th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard, 14+2 Power Stages, DDR4 4600, Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet

I'm a first time builder, but installation was a breeze with the help of the manual and Youtube. A little skimpy on details for proper fan header usage, but that could be more related to my noob builder status (despite probably falling well into the "old man" category for PC gamers) more than the documentation itself. Installing an i5-10600K, high-end Noctua air cooler, 4 memory sticks for 64GB total, and 1 m.2 drive all went off easily, as did the necessary power and I/O connections. Everything worked properly the first time.From a feature perspective, it has all I could possibly need and mor

First off this is a fantastic board paired with the i9 10900k you cannot use anything but the 10th gen processors but this is still a amazing board it has all the features you need and the heat sync helps cool down the board a lot in my opinion you don’t need the higher end skews because they look cooler or have water cooling this board does it all if you want the most out of your 10th gen processor I would recommend this for sure to soothe your gaming needs it has maximum performances the bios is clear easy with no bugs and over locking is a breeze I would give this a 10/10 for sure, yes it i

I purchased this MB for my new desktop with Core i9-10900K (10th gen 10 core CPU) and NZXT H710i. It's been a while since I built a new rig, so I wasn't sure what to choose but I always like ASUS, and a knowledgeable friend of mine recently got a new ASUS MB and likes it so I followed him. The reasons I picked this MB among many Z-490 MB are (1) there is built in wifi / BT (2) there are two display outputs (HDMI and Display port). I think this is the only ASUS MB that satisfies both. There aren't many MBs with two display outputs because most people who use Z-490 paired with the latest gen Int

I'm a huge fan of ASUS. I have bought many things over the last several years that are made by ASUS, and every single one of them has been amazing, from monitors to routers, as they make some quality items.I recently decided to upgrade my computer from a 6 yr old i5 processor to an i9-10850K. After looking at their different MOBO's, I decided to go with the ASUS Z490-E. It was an easy install, with no problems. I have had plenty of places to connect my multiple SSDs.There are a lot of USB ports, so you shouldn't have a problem not being able to connect something. I had a USB hub connected to t

I used this in a gaming PC I built for a co-worker. It's a really nice looking board, with all the must-have features. The RGB effects are especially nifty if you want to build something you can really show off. The manual is fairly helpful and comprehensive. The only problems I had during assembly were mostly due to me working with hardware I'd never used before. (This was the first system I'd built in a few years, and PC technology doesn't stand still.) ASUS boards have always been good performers, and their quality has done nothing but improve over the years.My only complaint with this boar

The product was complete. There was no damage or stamp on delivery. It was perfect. However, I had to wait more because it was damaged in the middle of the order on November 26. But it was worth waiting for. It was special to me who used only the main board of the supply. It is a complete set of technical skills that cannot be seen in fancy lighting and low-end models. It also works well with Intel 10850K CPU, and it is going to be replaced when Intel's 12th generation CPU is released after 3 to 5 years of use. However, since A/S is not available in Korea, I should use it carefully. It took ab

If you are looking for a new upgrade for to a intel 10th gen CPU, this board has all of the bells and whistles for OC and not OC needs. Make sure your memory is compatible with the board on the ASUS website before you buy memory for this. I bought Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) and 5.39 was not listed at the time of purchase and Amazon sells Hynix 8GBit MFR 5.39. I can say for a fact that this works and now it's listed as compatible on the ASUS site. I've read that 5.49 works but is not listed yet from forum posts on the motherboard.I did have a problem with one

It's been more than 4 years now, and everything has been great so far!. I love the RGB lighting and all the ports that come with it. BIOS update is easy and there have been many updates to this date. I wish intel didn't change the socket so fast so I could upgrade to ohter CPU.Releasing the GPU from the slot is a bit tricky specially with a big card but I think they solved it in the newer MoBos.AI overclocking really helps tuning the CPU performance and RAM performance.Really appreciate the debug LEDs specially the Q-code screen.
