Pros: Well optioned, solid build wifi 6 , usb 3.2 type C , flash update at back plate and the A.I. overclock feature works flawless
Cons: First Came D.O.A. nobodys perfect
Overall Review: First came Doa but replaced quickly by newegg, second one working flawless and please Note if you buy it....had NIC issues and the Fix is 1-update bios 2-update NIC firmware and reboot 3-Install drivers other than that This Board is Rock Solid stable and well build. Hope this helps
Pros: Wifi 6 Better build then the b360 Access to disabling hyper threads Rgb in the right place and not in the back of the board. Overclock The two m.2 slots are in the front.
Cons: Coming from a b360 motherboard is a improvement. The motherboard looks amazing compare with other new mini itx case. Although the gigabyte, msi, ASRock have some better features but they really don't look as well.
Overall Review: Great motherboard overall all.
Pros: - Sleek design. -Has the new WIfI 6 wireless standard. -ASUS reliability and warranty program. - RGB M.2 heatsink looks good. - Connectors and methodically laid out. - Motherboard accents went very well with my system. - Ran my i7-10700K with ease. Motherboard BIOS is update out of the box.
Cons: - This was odd but out of all the ASUS boards I have installed, this one required me to install the network driver out of the box for Ethernet. No biggie though. - Not really a con for my case but for the 3 pin RGB header plus the 4 pin chassis header right under the heatsink, it was a little tight to install my GPU since I had to neatly route the cables but it all fit snuggly in place. There is a onboard audio connector there too but I don't use onboard audio. Just a heads up
Overall Review: As a long time ASUS customer, I am impressed with what they did to this new chipset. No issues with first boot and this motherboard speaks of reliability and longevity. If you are looking for ITX, give this board a try. I can't speak for other brands that offers Z490 ITX, but ASUS did a good job with this one. It was well worth the price.
Cons: dead on arrival poor support from asus was told a replaced would be 7-10 business days and that it could be a refurbished oned
Overall Review: was really nice board if it had of functioned ordered an asrock z490 phantom gaming to replace
Cons: Dead motherboard. Spent a long time troubleshooting including a swap of the PSU. No success.
Overall Review: I've built quite a few computers over the years, and this is the first completely dead motherboard that I've experienced. I think I'll try the MSI.
Pros: - Clean look and supposedly better customer support than other manufacturers. - surprisingly quiet VRM cooling fan (the only fan onboard, didn't notice any ramping). - driver/software install was surprisingly smoother over older ASUS motherboards that I've owned. - solid Wifi 6 connection so far. - PCIe GPU works without needing BIOS update. - Windows 10 sleep works, no issues so far - ran 3200MHz dual RAM without issue. I haven't tried overclocking more than that yet.
Cons: - m2 heatsinks are useless. Had to take off heatsink plate (which is also the only RGB LED onboard) to install aftermarket heatsinks instead. My m2 drives easily hit and throttle at 95 degC within a few minutes. Barely any room for airflow also. - m2 heatsinks aren't thermally connected to the VRM cooler and instead cool by radiation of flat metal plates. - chipset heatsink buried under m2 drive heatsink with no ventilation or connection to VRM cooler. - crowded installation with tiny screws (upside is that you don't have to switch screwdrivers). - gets hot to touch under moderate workload. - weakest VRM set out of the mITX Z490 boards. - also out of the other mITX Z490 boards it isn't PCIE 4.0 friendly. - most expensive mITX board at the time of this review.
Overall Review: Might want to not tighten m2 heatsink screws and double check that your m2 drives aren't warping. If you're not careful you can easily crack your m2 drive, especially when its thermally overloaded. You'll typically need thermal tape less than 1.0mm thick (1.0mm exact will still cause some warping with heatsinks flush against standoffs). Also, make sure to install all other intended connections such as the ARGB header, etc. before installing the GPU as the GPU will block reach. Z490 isn't meant to be a cheap system so the motherboard should've been designed to better protect/prolong the components that are going to be installed in it.
Pros: - Rock solid stability so far - Very nice aesthetics - Asus ROG BIOS is second to none - 2.5G NIC - M.2 heatsink keeping my WD 2TB NVMe drive very cool (Under 60 degrees C. under load) - Perfect compatibility with my RAM (G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz CAS14 32GB kit using XMP profile)
Cons: - I wish that the standard 12v 4-pin RGB header and the 3-pin ARGB header placements were swapped as plugging in the ARGB header with GPU installed is a very tight space. - I purchased an EK-AIO 240mm kit but had to return as I was not able to install the CPU waterblock into this mobo due to space which leads me to the next con - I would have preferred to have the main M.2 slot be a single layer slot with the second M.2 slot placed on the backside of the board. - Would have liked to see a bit of RGB on the main I/O shroud as the LED's on the M.2 heatsink are partially covered by my Noctua NH-U12S heatsink.
Overall Review: I have been using only Mini-ITX sized boards in my builds for the past 5 years as I never have enough hardware to warrant using a full sized ATX board. Overall, this is the best ITX board I have ever used and absolutely love the aesthetics compared to the Maximus VII Impact that this board replaced. I have learned to adjust to building with a cramped motherboard but was still bummed that the EK-AIO kit that I purchased was not able to fit due to the fittings on CPU waterblock hitting both the tall M.2 heatsink or the closest stick of RAM depending on the CPU block orientation. Overall, I am extremely happy with this board and always use ASUS ROG boards in my personal builds. I've never had an ROG board fail me in the past 10 years.

Pros: One of the few Z490 ITX boards.
Cons: Died after 3 months. After filling out an RMA request from Asus haven't heard back in a week, not even a confirmation letter that they received the request.
Overall Review: Lots of DOA problems with this current board, and Asus RMA does not seem to be fully functional at this time. Would not buy again.
