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.

    MSI usually makes great products but during boot-up with multiple gpu's it would divert into the bios every time to ask if you want to run all pcie slots. So remote management is a problem.

    I bought this after my motherboard broke and had to return it because it doesn’t use Wi-Fi. What’s the point in buying a motherboard that doesn’t support Wi-Fi!?!

    I knew nothing out building computers before I bought my X570 A-Pro. I desperately wanted to own the new DCS world, but I needed something that would run the game efficiently. Not only was this motherboard a very reasonable price, but the way that MSI set this one up, I was amazed that I was able to set everything up without a long list of instructions, or mistakes. I've had this motherboard for over a year and I think I will be upgrading, but you can bet that I'm sticking with MSI for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much!!

    My first MSI Motherboard

    Wow! This Motherboard is very nice and runs better than ASUS - ROG STRIX Z490-E. The only thing that I didn't like about this is it have less USB ports. Other than that, it runs very good. Here's a little warning that I need to post: BIOS: Be very careful on updating the BIOS. If you update the BIOS to a higher version, you can't roll back. You can only roll back at some of them. Be very careful while M-I Flash your BIOS update because it might corrupt your BIOS and mess up your motherboard and CPU pins too. Only update the BIOS when you need to or don't do it at all, or you won't be able to roll back.
