Great Buy

Upgraded from the Asus TUF Sabertooth Z87 motherboard with the i7 4770k to this motherboard and the i7 10700k. Huge performance increase.

Fan Headers are hard to access if you have large fingers......but that is with just about any system board these days

Asus has always been a top quality product. The only reason I upgraded now was because of the required hardware specs. I have re-purposed my old system board into an older case as its now a server. The ASUS Sabertooth Z87 is still alive and going strong after nearly 8 years. I don't anticipate any issues from this one either.

The ASUS TUF Z490 Gaming is a great board thus far.

1. Extremely easy to install.
2. Cable management is a BREEZE as the the board layout is intuitive.
3. BIOS settings are easy to navigate and change.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
5 eggs, would not let me correct my egg count

well conceived board, proves that even with 1/2 a brain u can swap motherboards.
excellent manual and docs, took me longer to lose all my MSI software then to install the board.
runs my i9-10900k, out of box at 4.8-5.3ghz and i can set RGBs to turn red if it heats over the limit i set (hasnt happened YET). matching it with a rog STRIX rtx-2080ti o11g doesnt hurt either. sound system is great, recommend AC/DC at 92db 7.1 surround sound.

may not be an actual "con", but i cant seem to hold this thing back. its a thorough-bred, and just wants to flat out race, even when i told it in bios to use intel defaults. but since it passes stresses and gaming on all accounts, runs my cpu cool (even tho im temporarily using my old i5-6600k corsair 140mm aio!) so just let her rip.

matched with a monster GPU, it can get expensive, but if the kids are fed, and the wife doesnt see that bill, screw the mortgage payment and upgrade the PC. if u wanna get similar gaming performance for a little less, look at the maximus xii hero and an i9-9900k. the wife will still freak tho.
5 EGGS (sorry for the 1 egg, couldnt change it)
