Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Got a good deal on a 10850k so I decided to upgrade my spare PC. Even though this board was the same price as the newer z590i Aorus Ultra, I went with the z490 because I wanted to use both m.2 slots and on the newer board you must use a newer 11th gen CPU to use the front m.2 slot.
I'm extremely GPU bottlenecked on this system waiting on GPU supply to normalize. Reusing the GTX Titan Black from the previous build. So I haven't bothered overclocking the system yet, but I've got the cooling to push it when I do get around to it. CPU is delidded with a Rockit copper IHS. Custom loop with 120mm Monsta and an external MO-RA3.
VRM heatsink clearance is pretty tight. I had a MM or two to spare mounting the CPU block. Also instead of normal size fan headers, most of them use a slightly smaller connecter with a short adapter cable... Not really a big deal, but just seemed like they could have slimmed down the heatsink a bit and had the space to fit normal size headers there.
Overall, I like the board. It looks nice, and has performed fine so far.

Pros -
4 Fan Headers
USB 3.1 front panel header
Good CPU Cooler compatibility
Good power delivery
Turbo boots's CPU by default
Cons -
No Thunderbolt 3
Runs CPU at a higher vcore
Current Intel Lan Driver
Passively cooled VRM's
Overall I feel the cons aren't that bad and I would recommend this board. One glitch I am having is that in windows task manager says this board has 4 total slots of ram, which is kinda weird. Other than that no weird glitches or issues!
Pros
- high quality VRMs that can handle an overclocked 10900K
- pretty good built in audio
- nice selection of internal and external I/O
- easy bios flashing without a cpu
- four fan headers
- dedicated m.2 heatsink
- supposedly has hardware for pcie 4.0 if intel 11th gen supports it
- bios fan control better than other companies
Mediocre
- bios isn’t as easy to navigate as other companies but is by no means unusable, you can get the job done
Cons
- A $250 motherboard should have a dedicated CMOS clear button instead jumper pins
- Rear USBC doesn’t do power delivery
- three of the four fan headers are mini and require using adapter cables (included) adding to cable mess
- intel 2.5gbe supposedly has issues with certain switches that can only be fixed with hardware revision but I haven’t seen this as I don’t have a 2.5 gb switch.
Overall a very good motherboard with some quirks to be aware of but I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to others.
I wanted an ITX case and after some research decided upon this mobo + 10th gen i5.
This mobo is solid, and I have had much success with previous Gigabyte mobos.
System is very stable (no o/c) and while I don't have a recent vidcard, my aging GTX 970 has handled all my CAD and design work needs flawlessly.
For the price and features, I would keep Gigabyte in mind for any future builds.
Vendor/amazon 5 stars for seamless no hassle return.
- good CPU VRM
- reports die sense voltage for CPU overclocking
- intel LAN
- most things just work
Cons:
- this board hates running dual rank ram at high frequencies! a 3600MHz kit of 2x16 GB RAM I had would intermittently (maybe 1 in 15 times) refuse to boot. At 4000MHz it refuses to boot more often and trains higher than expected RTLs & IOLs. It completely refuses to run dual rank ram >4000MHz, but I didn't have more sticks to confirm this. I would absolutely NOT recommend this board if want to run fast, dual rank ram.
- bulky VRM heatsinks make some AIO coolers incompatible (EK AIO is essentially incompatible and will collide with the VRM heatsinks or RAM unless the RAM doesn't have heat spreaders)
If neither con is applicable to your system, then it's a good board. Unfortunately both issues are applicable to me, and this was not apparently before I bought it and tried it.
