Review: Seems very solid & nice - for non-gamers as there is no way to utilize the CPU integrated graphics - I have to qualify my review as being based on very limited experience with this board, but I was quite impressed with the board overall. I first ordered this king Asus Z490 motherboards but after delivery noticed that there was no ability to utilize on-board integrated graphics from the CPU (which I desire to use). So back it went. I have to say that the board is just amazing based on my hands-on-only. It feels like it is filled with copper or lead! I wish I could have used this board with the 10gbps NIC and Thunderbolt interface, but that will have to wait. I will note that a competitor to this Asus board (there are 3 in the arena) does plumb/inject the display port output to the Thunderport port - I wish Asus had an option for this on this Extreme board. I had to run out to the local blue and yellow store and buy an Asus Strix to allow me to continue with my build. The Strix seems to be one of the best mid-level boards for more users with more needs (better I/O options, overclocking, etc.). I write software and needs lots of striped M.2 performance and some mild but stable OC. If you need/want use integrated graphics (i.e. 10900K) and not discrete video cards, because you want a semi-workstation-level machine for productivity, then the Asus Strix is probably the best all around board to get. No board, from any vendor seems to provide a HDMI/DP video ports, 10gbps NIC port AND Thunderbolt port on the rear I/O panel - this would be great for power users that are not using discrete video cards. Maybe this will appear with Z590+ boards - I hope so.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Super Tower Motherboard!
*by J***. on 10 January 2021*

My motherboard install went excellent, I had a super tower case I installed this into, the Cooler Master Cosmos c700p, definitely a monster. The motherboard setup was excellent and fit all my components. Now I didn’t not have any of the failures any of the other reviewers were talking about but I did have an issue. A semi serious one but it was fixed. I have always built my Asus Boards with Gskill ram. Always so I decided to go 128GB at 3600mhz. Now the 128Gb kit was not on the QVL, so I initially had issues under load when games would crash to desktop. Pc wouldn’t lock up just the games would randomly crash. If I removed the XMP profile it worked fine. But leaving all that speed on the table didn’t sit well with me. I eventually did the latest BIOS update to I believe 801, or 901 and now with the standard XMP profile everything works as it should. It was annoying spending over 4-5K and have a non working machine but now it’s all good.
