Over 12 months in now on this fantastic mobo ... still rock solid on high overclocks. Glad I bought it!
Excellent VRM, slick looking design for minimalistic builds. Really happy with it in general.
First of all the board has pretty much the best VRM available which should matter to those choosing z490 boards.It also boasts pretty much every feature they can stick on mobos these days which includes BIOS flashback and a code display which are essential imo. Despite the board lacking any RGB features it supports multiple different LED solutions via the onboard headers which is nice. They even throw in a WiFi adaptor that is external so you can place it somewhere high. Overall this motherboard is a very good board with all the features, I just wish it wasn't such a premium for LED features.
