Pros: Expansive bios Lots of usb ports Overall Review: Have not tinkered with it enough after initial setup to go into the options, but everything worked on the first try which is rare for me. Had to reformat my harddrive due to some issue with how my SSD was formatted, not sure the exact reason but just be aware if you are on an older motherboard that possibly used legacy boot. Couldn’t just clear one partition, had to format the whole drive.

Pros: Perfect balance between price and performance for a Z490 board. Gigabyte AORUS brand reputation. – Single PCIEx16 slot (running at x3) makes sense when only one graphics card is being used. – Dual M.2 drives that support both NVME and SSD protocols. – Subtle graphics and without RGB accents (could be a Con for some…..) Cons: Pre-ordered this board, well ahead of release date. Neglected to pre-order the LGA 1200 CPU. Lack of CPUs at retail price meant that the build was delayed….

Pros: Additional support for graphics card to prevent sagging rather chonky onboard heat sinks ports are labeled beautifully to prevent accidental plugging Cons: not enough power to front audio jack a somewhat confusing audio output setup (rear speakers dont go in the “rear speaker” port, but somewhere else” Overall Review: Ports are streamlined and labeled excellently, holds my cpu, not sure what else to say, is a great board with the exception of 1 tinnnnyyyy thing, being the front panel…

Pros: -exceptional VRM’s and a very good VRM cooling solution. At absolute max stress testing on an oc’d 10900k (300w!!!!), the vrms will peak at 90-100cc while hovering in the 60’s while gaming etc. -boocoo bios options. lots of tweaking opportunity here. The original F2 Bios it came with was garbage. make sure you flash to the newest F5 at the time of writing this. -I made sure to grab the non wifi board with the Realtek 2.5g as some early released Intel 2.5g units were having issues….

Pros: 1. CPU LGA 1200 socket 2. 4 Memory slots for DDR-4 RAM 3. 2 PCI Express X16 Slots ( I would never use more, than two video-cards, even just one GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB GDDR6X VRAM will be more than enough! 4. Two M2 sockets for SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 250GB and SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 2TB is the best for me – 250gb – for Drive C (Windows 10 and all Programs) and 2TB Drive for my Art, Photo & Video Collection. Cons: NONE Overall Review: I would recommend this Motherboard for…

Pros: Great power delivery, great layout, great audio, great cooling, great features. Also, kudos to the 4 SATA cables thrown in, I needed them all lol. Cons: The IO cover on my particular motherboard was a little bent and/or crooked. Also, the cardboard insert that the motherboard rests on inside the box was torn in a strange fashion. Not sure why that was allowed out of the factory like that, but after bending the IO panel back into shape, I got everything lined up nicely and installation…

Pros: Better HD audio then my past asus boards. Easy pin connector setup Fits like a glove Cons: There was only 1 USB connector for front of case usbs and I have 4 for my case. So that was a bummer. Overall Review: I would deff purchase this product or the upgraded version again

Overall Review: assuming it works seems nice. I’m assuming mine was a fluke.
