MSI offers the MEG Z490 GODLIKE, Z490 boards have what MSI refers to as 17 virtual phases (16+1), PWM-Controller: ISL69269 (max. 8 phases) with CPU MOSFETs 16x a massively rated 90A, these are cooled by aluminum heatsinks. In a nutshell, that's a super strong VRM ranging in an enthusiast-class. There are two ATX CPU power inputs (8-pin). The board offers a 2.5 G Ethernet (Realtek RTL8125B) controller and 10 Gigabit (Aquantia AQC107) and then AX Wi-Fi 6. The board offers three PCIe 3.0 slots which run at x16, x8/x8, x8/x8/4, and 2x PCIe 3.0 x1. Storage-wise you will see hidden under a heatsink a triplet of PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots. There are six SATA ports (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 array support). The onboard audio based on Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec. The rear IO panel shows a single two Intel Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports on the rear panel. This board offers DDR4 support up-to 5000 MHz. Have a peek at some photos, albeit subjective, I deem this to be a really nice looking product.
