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 was an excellent motherboard to work with. I wish they labelled the board a little better, for finding Power SW and Reset, but otherwise, easy to work with.

    The amount of control you have on this board's bios is insane! Great budget gaming and working board. 4 ram slots, 2 pcie, great built in sound card with multiple ins and outs and more great qualities.

    This was the easiest plug and play transition of a custom build pc I’ve ever had the privilege of handling. Zero issues and zero windows errors.

    The motherboard works well. It would be better if it supports x8 x8 PCI-E and with a wifi adapter. I know it would not be possible for the price.

    Worked out of the box. Decent motherboard for the price for someone who does not need the gaming led colors or wifi. Hope it lasts many years.

    Excellent board. Worked right out of the box. Only works with 10th gen intel not the 11th gen. . A new Bios may fix that.

    The quality of this motherboard surprised me for this price point. You get many up-to-date features that are not present on AMD's motherboard equivalent. One being the USB-C header and great audio. Then again is the better Z490 board. This is not top of the line by any means and your overclocking will not be top tier, but if you are a gamer, streamer, creator, this is a solid choice to allow the rest of your components to fly without being held back. Again, just don't expect to go beyond the specifications.
