    Great broad from what I have read the only thing I am sad about is that, at the cost of this board might as well just upgrade to the hero 400 mobo.

    One of Asus' better boards for vrm.. however gets a star off for the horrible placement of the heat sink and the stupid little vrm fan that blocks an AIO in most cases

    Pretty much a solid motherboard. My only complaint is that even after I updated the ethernet port it sometimes cuts out and I lose connection. This happens about every other day.

    RMA already

    Purchased this board for the I9-10900k. Board had good reviews elsewhere and good specs for a mid range board. RGB is nice but not overwhelming. Owned just over a month and 2 weeks into my new build and ram slots 1-3 stop working leaving me with slot 4. Spent a couple days with Asus support running diagnostics and tests to determine it was a board issue. It's too late for a Best Buy return so now I have to RMA. Hopefully RMA doesn't take more than 2-3 weeks but Covid may change that. Maybe I just had bad luck with this board and its not a representative sample. I will unfortunately need to purchase another motherboard while the RMA happens because I need this PC running for work. I will be trying a different brand this time. Given the boards limited life and the cost of replacing I cannot recommend this product.

      Dear Valued Customer,

      It's unfortunate to hear about your issue with the motherboard. All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control, testing, and inspections. What you've experienced was not intentional and this was a random case.

      If you wish to follow up on your repair, feel free to reach out to me with the RMA number at [email protected] and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.

      Thank you for choosing ASUS!
      Best Regards,
      Jamalie,

    An excellent motherboard. A little expensive but with the Z490s you need something that doesn't use Excessive Voltage, Power, & Heat. This ASUS motherboard def helps with it.
