This is the 3rd board. These are not tested

This is the 3rd board. These are not tested
This is the 3rd motherboard ordered and this one had cpu pins that were bent twisted melted. Don't know if it works not gonna even try. Computer service said to send it back. So 4th times a charm....Picks are above. The rest below is about last m/b .2). I know this is a little long . But after some research asus has had alot if issues with new motherboards... they cant handle being oc. This is the 2nd mobo the first 1 had some led's that were not working on qcode display and wouldn't boot gave error code a2 a least that my guess. And it at least ran through start up procedure. The 2nd motherboard powered up. but that is it didn't start any system checks just lights and qcode 00 Immediately. We have two intel chip sets two + different cpu's , 8 different sticks of ram. We did a bios flashback still nothing. So 3 times a charm, We will find out. From somebody that's worked In electronic industry, making audio boards for radio and TV stations. I can tell you there's no way they check and test these boards. If they did, I wouldn't have gotten two in a row that are no good. I think people are buying them and over clocking cpu for gaming Not knowing what they're doing and fry the motherboard and then return it. They box it and send it to somebody else. I called asus Support went through the whole ordeal with them for them to tell me to send it to them to get it fixed or return it to supplier. Well, it's going back, I'm not paying asus to fix a board I've already paid for that Should have been right when I received it. Amazon is going down hill people are finding ways to screw folk on here . There is no way I have 3 motherboards that we have tried a i5 10500f, and i9 10900kf. gtx1650 and rtx ventus 2060 oc . 2xSamsung ram 8 gb.. 2x8 gb pny exp 3200+ 2x16 pny exp 3200mhz and 4x8 gb generic. 650watt corsair power supply. This is for my son he knows nothing about overclocking ect.. I had to upgrade to i9 to handle all the gaming + streaming ect he does i5 didn't have enough threads to accomplish his need the only thing that is the same is the case. Motherboard was last upgrade and it has been a nightmare. Buy from a reputable dealer never had good luck with comp parts on Amazon. So I am sending back and let's try this again.

Used in a full Asus build inside of a helios case. This is my first build ever. This mb is very very good. My temps do stay very low (i'm sure the massive heat sinks help.) Installation was easy for me, I used gloves during set up to be safe because you don't want to hit it with static from what I've read. Asus walked me through flashing bios update with no problem (just to be safe.) Rgb syncs up well with armory crate. Lots of little stickers included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent motherboard, but be sure to check clearance for components
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2020
Really happy to have spent a little more to improve my motherboard in my latest build! ASUS has a good reputation for delivering sturdy, well-packaged hardware. If you're building with an liquid CPU cooler, be sure to note the clearance on this board to make sure all your parts will fit. A NZXT Z73 AIO cooler will block the first RAM slot on this board, unless you rotate it 90 degrees.

*note* If you're writing one star reviews for the "Scratched" details on the front of the board, slow down. There is a protective plastic film on the panels on this board that may show scratches, this is common with electronics like these. Just peel off the plastic once you're comfortable with your installation and you'll be all set.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021
Great motherboard! I set this up with an i9 10900kf and left the overclock settings on auto. Gets 5.1ghz all day without issues, no hotter than 60C while in Warzone. Shreads through video files when exporting from Premiere.

My monitor tops out at 120hz so I can't get total framerate but in COD Warzone and Cold War it solid stays at 120 without missing a beat running 4k (on RTX 3080.)

BIOS has been super easy to setup. Manual is awesome. Everything about it has been great. Would buy again without hesitation.

This BIS mobo is all the right stuff, performance, quality, and AI. So far this thing is blazinf, durable, ergonomic as they get, and super adaptable. Its running a 10600k havent OC yest but from the looks of the heat sinks and vrm, also playing with the AI, I think it will be just under the $750 boards, and make over 5ghz no prob. Also it interacts with the ram nicely. Definately my opinion best board of any for z490. It also runs pretty good temps at the moment, bit im hooking up the 2 waterloops next month. Great software, and packaging. Cool led.

Reviewed in Canada on May 19, 2022
A beast of a board! Well designed with plenty of peripherals. Excellent quality and durability. Well worth the money to ensure it doesn't bottleneck high end gpu or other components. Cpu package can run on the hot side if you don't have proper cooling. I recommend this board for anyone with a 3k series gpu! Runs my M2 ssd at 4.0 pcie and it's amazing. Computer boots up in seconds. Highly recommend for builds with an aio for exhaust and 3+ intake fans to handle the cpu package temps. If you have lots of rgb and peripheral devices, this motherboard will handle it all with ease!
