Bought this new Asus ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING board to replace my old Strix. Once again Asus has put a top board on the market. In combination with an I9-10900k it runs like a charm, please note that this board is only suitable for 10th gen processors. Good cooling on the 2 M.2 slots & VRM, reinforced PCI-E & CPU power connectors. The board is sturdy and well-arranged, 3 adjustable RGB zones, I/O shield, Q code display with status indication. Bios is well laid out for both the novice and experienced user, everything can be set as desired (fans, sound, overclock, memory, etc.). Wifi antenna, temp. sensor & sata cables are included in the package + cable marking, keycord & sticker sheet.
In short, a board that will keep you going for years to come.
