Pros:Motherboard layout is nice, clean, and easy to work with. There is enough clearance for the following CPU Cooler/RAM combo, just keep in mind you'll want the RAM installed first. Will be a tight squeeze if you need to swap/move RAM around.RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-16GVKCCPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, BK022, 250W TDP, CPU CoolerI have not had any stability issue/performance issues at all.Cons:I really needed to get Thunderbolt 3 working for a music interface box, and it states it's compatible. The catch is it needs to have the RTD3 specification. So far I've been unable to gain any insight on exactly what add-on card is compatible with this board. So I went to MSI support to ask...surely they know what card is compatible if they are selling it as such. How else would they have tested it?I've been trying to get MSI to respond for over a month (they say they respond in 24-48 hours - not true). I've submitted almost a dozen requests just for BASIC information, but they keep re-closing my ticket and not answering. I provided them model/serial/version/etc - basically any number on the box, and the only thing I got was "Please provide us with more information about the issue, Thank you.", to which I asked "What other details do you require?", and it's been silence ever since. I literally have no idea what other information they want, as they won't tell me. I wasn't rude, I wasn't making any demands, I just wanted to know what card will work, that's it.If I had known this would have been such a problem, I'd have just opted to find a different board with it natively, and perhaps a different brand due to being blatantly ignored by MSI support.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, but definitely not for beginners.
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021
It was my first time building a PC, and the motherboard was super easy to install. However, upon booting up I was put in MSI’s BIOS menu. There was no problem, until I couldn’t leave the BIOS. Every time I exited the BIOS, the computer would shut off, and when I booted back up, I was put back in the menu again. I was booting up from a flash drive with windows installed on it so I was very confused as to why it wasn’t working. Luckily, I have a friend who is very experienced with PC’s so he managed to get it working after putting the flash drive in his own rig and messing with it.

After we got it working though, it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. It looks, and performs absolutely amazing!

TL;DR
This motherboard’s BIOS menu is very confusing, and needs someone with experience to handle. But it’s a great motherboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars This motherboard is a great value. I love it
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020
I decided on this motherboard that I paired with an I7 10700k. This Z490 motherboard is super awesome. It is a good quality build and has lot's of extras such as built in RGB lighting. The built in wi-fi made it real easy to connect and it has separate headphone and microphone ports. What I really love the most is the two M2 memory slots. I do some video and photography editing and the NvMe SSD makes a big difference in retrieving large files quickly. I originally intended to use only one of those M2 slots but after seeing just how fast they are I decided on getting both slots filled. I am not too savvy with technology so I have not messed too much with overclocking in the BIOS. However, I did get this motherboard because it does allow you to easily overclock both the CPU and memory with a single click in the BIOS. I also have a lot of internal HDD drives from years of photography and this motherboard has 4 drives that you can connect internally. There are a total of 6 that you can connect internally but you lose connections if you use the M2 memory slots. This is fine as there are still lots of USB connections in the back to attach external drives. It also has an USB type C connection which is a must for me. The EZ Debug LED were very helpful during the build. These LEDs are indicator lights that tell you the status of your components such as CPU, RAM memory, and graphics card as your system is booting. With the price just under $200 it's a great value
