ASUS PRIME Z490-P LGA 1200 (Intel 10th Gen) Intel Z490 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard (Dual M.2, DDR4 4600, 1Gb Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB Type-A, Thunderbolt 3 Support, Aura Sync RGB)

Pros: 2 rgb, 1 argb ports

Cons: only 4 sata ports, less USB ports overall than usual

Overall Review: Great board if you want to jump straight into overclocking your unlocked intel CPU, almost as powerful as upper tier boards, but good enough for the mid to high end gamer.

Pros: Fast and boots right away Plenty of fan ports and even a water cooler pump connection

Cons: The BIOS is a pain It will boot to the BIOS forever - until you change the boot settings to UEFI The Manual is horrible, it explains how to build a PC but nothing on the BIOS settings Only has 4 SATA ports

Overall Review: It is a good board that works as advertised, however, they should have spent more time on the manual and less time on fancy LED lights that blink.

Overall Review: The first one I ordered was DOA. So I get a replacement. The new one worked until I installed windows. Last I put in a graphics card and the ethernet controller dies. It won't resurrect even after I removed the graphics card.

Pros: Z490 at this price is great and looks like the BIOS and VRMs has decent overclocking capability. Best for an above average or entry power user that likes moderate tweaking. XMP loaded flawlessly.

Cons: Lack of onboard USB ports. Limited SATA connectors gets further limited if using M.2. Building this I found the fan headers and SATA in awkward spots. Worst is that my board had DoA PCIe x16 slots. I tried flashing the BIOS multiple times to different versions, and multiple graphics cards but could not get the board to initialize PCIe graphics. Would be 4 stars if I didn't have to RMA it. I probably just got unlucky with a bad board.

Overall Review: It's budget Z490 board that has some sacrifices. I was unlucky and had to RMA it for dead PCIe x16.

Overall Review: Great mobo and capable of OCing, best bang for your buck Z490 mobo I could find.

Pros: Upgrading my computer from a second gen i3 to this was easy. Decided to get the non wifi version because i already had ethernet ran.

Overall Review: So far this motherboard works great

Pros: Great price, good board.

Cons: Ended up returning and have to pay to ship it back to NewEgg, kicking myself for not just going with A-mazon in the first place. Ended up buying everything else from them. I should have done that at the start.

Overall Review: Go with A-mazon for easy returns and exchanges. Especially if you are a prime member.
