Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality

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.

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
