    A solid performing Mobo with no frills but no complications either, everything fit securely and without issues. I'm a fan of simple easy to use Mobos especially since many new options are jacking up prices for features no one needs

    So far So good. Easy BIOS, user friendly. Does not come with Legacy Boot option. If you run an older hard drive and are looking to install on this motherboard. You better look at you HD programing in you BIOS. If its written in Legacy you will have to redownload windows or find some way to rewrite the HD into Uefi boot mood. I had to download window 10 from a USB and reinstall it onto my SSD

    Upgraded from a Z-270 to to this and it's a nice upgrade indeed. Going from the brown of the old board to black of this one was a good decision by MSI, just gives it a more professional look. I like the 2 m.2 ports and didn't need LED lighting. Upgraded the bios so it's 11th gen ready which is also nice plus will be PCI-E 4.0 ready when needed.

    Great motherboard for the price. And definitely just as good as the more expensive competitors! It also has a nice bios setup and you can save different overclock settings. If you are looking for a great z490 motherboard at a great price you definitely can't go wrong with this.

    On sale, this is a good value and the BIOS is easy to navigate. Just make sure that you adjust the DRAM speed to the modules you use so as to get the full speed out of the memory. The board comes set to "auto" for the speed, but when I adjusted it to the speed of memory, I noticed a significant improvement is system speed. Instructions are pretty weak, better to go on-line and seek better detail if necessary.
