Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Z490-A PRO motherboard's ease of use, competitive price, and BIOS. Many appreciate its performance and compatibility with various components, along with its extensive features. However, some users point out the lack of integrated Wi-Fi as a significant drawback. The absence of RGB lighting was also noted by a few customers, though this did not appear to be a major concern for most.

    This is a decent board to use with any 10th gen CPU, however it should not be used with an 11th generation CPU as MSI has not updated the BIOS with proper support and because of this 11th generation CPUs do not perform as well with it.
