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.

    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.

    Using this with a Core i7-10700 with power limits unlocked to 150-224W, so it stays at its max all-core clock of 4.6 GHz 24/7. Power delivery seems reliable. The onboard front panel USB 3.1 Gen 2 header is a major plus for me, paired with the NZXT H510 case.
