Videocardz has a nice photo up of the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII EXTREME GUNDAM. This board comes with a pre-installed waterblock, so rest assured there will likely be few, and they will certainly be expensive. This board is based off of the Intel Z490 chipset.

While AMD noted that the 5000 Series processors should be supported by the legacy X470 chipset, it would appear ASUS may not be on board. There are a few articles floating around where a customer reached out and was informed by ASUS that they would not be supporting the 5000 Series on X470, and of course, told the customer to purchase a new board. One can hope this customer last approach is corrected, but only time will tell.

The ROG CROSSHAIR VII DARK HERO Features:
The ROG STRIX B550-XE GAMING Features:
This is a compact mATX motherboard that makes the most of AMD’s budget chipset. Although there is no PCIe 4.0 support, this is hardly necessary for low-end motherboards. But we have all the main features at our disposal – support for many processors (including older models), an M.2 connector with the ability to install both types of drives, a USB 3.2 Gen2 port and even a connector for RGB devices.

There is a non-WI-FI version of the motherboard. Functionally, they are identical in quality and design aside from this one change.

So far when it comes to Z490 motherboards we’ve taken a look at a few boards from ASUS Republic of Gamers line, but today we are checking out the PRIME Z490-A. I’ve always been a fan of PRIME series boards, mainly for the fact that they appeal to pretty much everyone. They give you all of the features you would want on your given chipset without all of the extras you are more than likely not going to use.

At a midrange price, the Asus ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming looks, feels, and operates like a top-end Intel motherboard with just a few of the premium bells and whistles knocked off. It’s an ideal-balance ATX board for 10th Generation Intel chips, and it performed flawlessly in our tests.
