Asus PRIME Z490-A Intel Z490 LGA1200 ATX-emolevy

Nice looking well laid out board. Would have liked a few more USB connectors but other than that works as it should good selection of apps although armoury crate is a bit clunky and not that intuitive.ARGB setup can be a pain and the rog Strix 360 cooler LEDs never worked right from the start..

This is a great looking card and very easy to build on. The BIOS menu is easy to navigate and once built I love the LED touch to the motherboard. The one thing that lets it down is it only has 2xUSB2 headers, it does say in the user guide it will adapt to 4 so not sure why they didn't put 4 on the PCB? Just had to buy a splitter so kind of annoying that I have to hide this away for cosmetic reasons. Overall a great bit of kit.
