Question 1

Does this use a standard intel f_panel header?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has a standard system panel header (20-5 pin).

Question 2

How much  onboard video does this board have?

Accepted Answer

According to the official website of ASUS, the PRIME Z490-P LGA 1200 motherboard does not have onboard video, but it supports HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for integrated graphics processors. This means that you can use the video capabilities of your CPU, if it has one, but you cannot use the motherboard alone for video output. You may need a discrete graphics card if your CPU does not have integrated graphics or if you want better performance and quality.

Question 3

What does "Thundebolt 3 SUPPORT" mean? I need Thunderbolt 3 port. Does it have it or not?

Accepted Answer

The motherboard itself doesn't have the "Type C" thunderbolt slot but it has a "header" that you can plug into the motherboard. Meaning if the case you buy has a "Type C" Thunderbolt slot on it you can connect that to the "header" on the Motherboard.

Question 4

what are the best specifications for it ?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS PRIME Z490-P motherboard supports a variety of high-end specifications, including an Intel LGA 1200 socket for 10th Gen Intel Core processors, a 10+1 DrMOS power stage, 4x288pin (DDR4) memory slots supporting up to 128GB of memory, dual M.2 slots, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. It also includes features like enhanced cooling with VRM and PCH heatsinks, and support for AMD 2-Way CrossFireX Technology.

Question 5

Will this mother board use an AMD FX 8150 Eight core? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

No, this is for Intel 10th Gen processors.

Question 6

So if im reading this correctly, the board shouls have two (2) 12V RGB  and ONE (1) 5v ARGB headers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the board has two 12V RGB headers and one 5V Addressable RGB (ARGB) header.

Question 7

This motherboard has two CPU power sockets, one 8-pin and one 4-pin. All the user guide book has to say about this is that you can use both or just the 8-pin by itself, but not just the 4-pin by itself.  Are both needed to fully use the UHD Graphics baked into a 10th generation Core processor?

Accepted Answer

No, Intel UHD Graphics do not require the additional 4 pin power connector.
