Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards

Excellent performance

Just what I am looking for in a motherboard that can be used in the future

-As of October 2024 purchase, it came with BIOS version 3/26/2024. It recognized the Core i3 14100 processor without any issue. Didn't need to put a 12th gen Core processor in to do any BIOS update. -From the above bulletpoint, my box had a "Next Gen CPU Ready" sticker on it probably to indicate it has the updated BIOS version to support 13th and 14th gen Core processors. -Compact size and has Wi-Fi card already included. -High quality -2x ARGB 5v headers for your LED lights -Integrated video output if you don't want to add a dedicated video card. (VGA, Displayport, and HDMI)

The asrock mobo's always work great

-DDR5 -3x NVMe slots -2x full length PCIe slots -PCI placement allows for 3X GPU and another full length card -RGB LED easily turned off in BIOS

Looks great Very sturdy Simple bios

Has a ton of features for a budget level z490 board and is solid and stable. The bios is fairly typical for Asus, if you’re familiar with it should be easy to navigate. Overclocks great, set my 10700k to a modest 4.5ghz, I’m on custom water loop, but didn’t feel the need to go higher even though i could probably get to 5.0ghz it’s plenty fast where I have it set. Set my memory to 2933mhz and adjusted the voltage haven’t had any issues. Great upgrade coming from a gigabyte z170 and 6600k.

I been a gigabyte for many years, this is my first Asus, I love it!


Flawless. Easy to build with. Great aesthetics. Post lights. Awesome Bios

2 m.2 ssd slots, one wifi slot Fan headers are good Lots of io


Setup was easy and after bios update its been very stable.

The board is ready for the next step in storage and is also full of backwards compatible connections. Setup was easy and support was also available.

- cheap DDR5 board - relatively good audio port - included WiFi 6E - EZ-Latches make connections seamless

similar to the z790, which I currently have. Great look and amazing options.

-beautiful board -plenty of high speed connections (TB5, TB4, 10G LAN, etc)
