NZXT N7 Z490 Motherboard Renders Pop Up
The NZXT motherboard lineup has been a bit fascinating, on one hand, gorgeous designs that are all white or black, but then ECS build motherboards with poor BIOS support. Next up is a round of Z490 motehrboards.
The photos are in fact renders spotted by momomo_us. the board will be called N7 Z490 and comes with a fairly standard layout including an ATX form-factor build, 8+4 pin EPS power connectors and a quick count reveals 12-phase VRM for the CPU as well a 5G Ethernet and AX Wifi. The board is characterized by a front shroud that covers most of the business side of the PCB, and comes either in matte black or white, blending into the design scheme NZXT uses for its cases.
These boards look fantastic in any POC, we have no idea why other manufacturers have not picked up on this concept just yet, I mean really.

Asus Armor edition?
Many years ago (maybe like 2014?) there was a similar concept of a sort of "shield" over the entire board. Can't remember who made it.

Yes! I'm pretty sure that's it. I looked it up and recognized the logo.

I wish at least NZXT would sell shrouds for other motherboards...I'd totally be down to throw one on my Tomahawk...
