just a heads up ands maybe an alternative to this product ?
I ended up buying a......9900k with a 2nd hand z390 taichi ultimate (impossible to buy anymore but even new it was around 300$ not 900 ><) for half the price of a 10700k+z490 10gbe motherboard
currently z490 high-end all have stupidly high prices, more than X570 or TRX40 who are superior in every way
10900k have never been in stock
z490 boards way too expensive for their features
that's how Intel hopes to beat AMD ?

Strange many does have 10900k now
I'm running 10900k on Asus Apex xii.
5300mhz 1.28v and 4700c17 memory.
I want to see any Amd cpu beating this in any game

Even today many still are longing to at least once owning a Z490 Godlike. It has a nice ring to it! Dispite that two new generation boards including a newly mandated socket are on the short horizon. I guess the original cost for the Z490 Godlike was around $700? The new Z590 Godlike is now running a cool $1000 and clearly aimed for enthusiasts with very deep pockets and not relegated to WFH. With that I wonder if the Z490 Godlike will be heavily discounted after a while for the poorer side of the town? But then if one can readily afford any type of the Godlike series, why not go for the latest and the greatest? Thoughts?

Not impressed...Sorry...I know you love this mboard, HH, in both the x570 and Z490 incarnations...But I'll take an x570 Master at half the price any day.. The new 1.1 revision x570 Masters include a Thunderbolt 3 connector, btw. The thing about 10GBe is that 99% of the market won't need it or want to pay for it--but you can always add additional cards to the x570 Master for the same thing--if you want. X570 Masters and current Zen 2 CPUs support PCIe4.0 right now--no waiting (and waiting...and waiting) involved. Sure, most people may not "need" PCIe 4 atm--but that applies triply for 10GBe, as well. Actually, I like the x570 Master more now than I did when I bought it last July. (The new F20a bios has added a raft of newly exposed bios features under AMD CBS.) Anyway--I think the x570 Master gives you more of the kinds of features you want in a motherboard. And I'm not pickin' on MSI, either. I wouldn't buy the Aorus x570 Xtreme, either, for many of the same reasons--too expensive for what you get when most of it comes stock on the Master for half the price (unless they've dropped the price of the Xtreme since I last looked.) Anyway, it was interesting to see what the $749 MSI Z490 mboard is lacking...
