MSIZ490-A PRO ProSeries ATX Motherboard (10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, Dual M.2 Slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2, 2.5G LAN, DP/HDMI)

Honestly I'm not an MSI fan. I've had boards of theirs fail far too many times over the years. However at the price point, it was worth taking a chance and hoping that MSI had finally gotten something right. And they have.The Z590-A Pro is a great board, well designed with a solid layout and a simple black and grey color scheme. Component layout for SATA ports and the included 3 M.2 slots is excellent. Just keep in mind you cannot use the first M.2 without an 11th gen chip.The only complaint I have with the Z590-A Pro is the BIOS/UEFI is cluttered and not very friendly to overclockers. Lots of options are hidden in menu after menu and voltage adjustment options make very little sense. It's not the worst BIOS layout I've ever encountered, that crown goes to Gigabyte still, but it's not on the level of Asus' high end designs or EVGA.So overall, this motherboard is a success. A few small complaints here and there but they do not ruin the overall experience.Also works well with Windows 11, however the TPM is not turned on by default.

Todo está muy bien y si acaso estaría bien tener un poco de rgb en el chipset o un pequeño ventilador pero de allí en fuera es muy buena la calidad .

A placa-mãe atende ao que consta em suas especificações técnicas. Eu a instalei utilizando um processador i9, 9ª geração, e com um mês de uso não tenho tido qualquer problema. As memórias instaladas também atingiram as velocidades de transferência adequadas, o mesmo acontecer com as unidades SSD NVMe, ou seja, não há qualquer "gargalo" no que diz respeito ao desempenho. Enfim, estou satisfeito com a aquisição.

Updated a friends pc to newer hardware so he could run Win 10. This was the board of choice to go with an i5 9500 due to its price and features.Pros:- well built, great features, good price, everything workedCons:- needed to boot with only 1 stick of ram first time, but worked with 2 after that- no included manual, had to go on MSI webpage to get oneASUS fanboy here who now has no problem with MSI products. A solid second choice IMO

Bought this a s replacement board for my 8th gen I7 as after 2 years my Gigabyte board decide to not work on PCIE x 16. As this was a maintenance replacement I wasn't expecting much but was surprised by the performance. The vendor was extremely friendly and customer oriented and gave great pre-sales advice on this product. 5 Stars to the seller for being honest and helpful.
