Pros

Has a range of features like rgb lighting, 2. Screen. Lots of io, wifi, bluetooth m. A. It can handle a core i7 10700k without the need of extra cpu 4pin power.

The z490 chipset accepts cpus with an lga 1200 socket. Only criticism is that one of the heatsinks is in line with the gpu slot.

Well done msi. As advertised! It looks great and performs excellent. Designed and manufactured very well.

Very clear instructions. Easy to install and configure. Installation is straightforward.

Quality


It's a good quality product got it a bit later as it's for 10th gen but at this price it's great for a good upgrade path


No issues with the motherboard although wish there were a few more usb ports for this price.


If you've made your research you know what you are looking for and the lack of wifi is easy to overlook considering the quality...  Read More


For those trying to use an older gpu like me (gtx1070) with the z490 and i7 10700k it may fail to display unless plugged into the mobo.

Price


This worked perfect in my build and a good price


A very disappointing purchase considering it price.

Competitiveness


I got this board with a 10850k and 32gb of ddr4 corsair ram and it’s rock solid so far.


- very robust ddr4 memory speed support.

    I upgraded my motherboard earlier this year and after 7 months use i thought it was time to give it a brief review

    Im not that person who is pushing the system over the limits so i changed to normal

    Already the motherboards are oc the procesor in normal mode if youre going higher than that probably you will have some big problems with your system stability in some point

    One thing id like to highlight immediately is that not many beginners like myself know that mainboard screws for fixing it to the case will not be supplied by most motherboards

    You will need to update the firmware on the gpu not a driver update a firmware update which can easily be figured out by a google search
