Product Showcase 

The Z490 board is priced at an MSRP of $749 / 799EUR, we deem that to be a lot of money. You are getting the 3x PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2, 2.5 and 10 G Ethernet, and plenty of USB options. The rear panel is loaded with IO which, led by two Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C, two USB 3.2 G2 Type-A, four USB 3.1 G2 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports. The board has triple PCIe 3.0 x16 slots + 2x PCIe 3.0 x1  which can be arranged in these slot configurations:

  • 1-way mode - x16 / x0
  • 2-way mode - x8 / x8 / x4

The motherboard comes with a duo of 8-pin connectors. You'll get four DIMM slots that can be used for dual-channel memory. Up-to 4800 MHz supported in OC mode. Please do check compatible memory and thus the QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists). The Z490 motherboard will get you six SATA 6 Gb/s storage ports. Combined in here are two M.2 PCI Express slots using x4 PCIe lanes, thus 32 GB/sec of performance.
