ASUS Entered The Chat - ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-I Gaming - Overview & First Look

[@dan8t669]

Thank you for showing the M.2 Sockets in detail. Exactly what I was looking for!

[@oscarshen6855]

I still can't understand why they still have so many SATA ports, nobody use them. I think two at most is enough. Two M.2 is more than sufficient for most compact builds. Can you you image what a mess it would be if you use all 4 SATA ports on a board like this? Is there even a ITX case that can hold 4 drives?

[@BHRxRACER]

I got a bunch of SATA drives hanging around, full of my old things. And my ITX case can hold 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5" fyi.

[@Daemon1995_]

good thing they aint building mobos just for you

[@Phalaxis83]

ASUS stuff not bhed. Excellent overview fams, looking forward to the build.

[@shadowr2d2]

I was thinking the same thing. A perfect motherboard for a small case. Like the NZXT H1 Case. Plus I like that it has. Two M.2 on it.

[@Thani2]

Nice overview i can't wait to see a full build NZXT H1 Case

4:20 is it me or the PCB's a bit warped ?! Other than that , very nice little board . Just an observation : every manufacturer and his dog nowadays are making these VRM shrouds taller and taller making cooler compatibility all the more difficult . I know that AIOs are very popular in this price segment but quality air coolers (like noctua and Bequiet) have their space in there definitely.

[@HoldMeForever]

That mezzanine card feature is so freaking cool, I now think it needs to be a thing on ITX mobos. XD

[@sirelot2487]

I actually cant wait for upcoming builds... just imagine how cool they’ll 🤤

[@lks420-]

brow, what a show of images ! congrats

[@jwaye89]

ASUS stuff at last woo. Great overview fams

[@ExplorewithZac]

It doesn’t boot with two sticks of ram. I’ve tried everything imaginable. This is an issue that MANY people are having with this board, when is ASUS going to let us use our boards we purchased? We’re constrained to half the RAM power until this board is fixed with an update.

[@duppex3163]

Great Overview. Time to start saving for this and an AIO RTX 3080 ti, on release 🤤🤤

Thank Asus for coming to the party.

Looking forward to some itx case content!

[@stann6280]

thank you asus, very cool

[@The_Chad_]

Have you heard about the problems people are having out of these boards? They're having major issues and most reviews online are extremely negative. They're arriving DOA or dying within a couple of months. Mine is power cycling so often, I can't even get through Windows installation. I want to bring some attention to these problems because reviewers need to stop recommending these boards and put the heat on ASUS to fix the problem asap.

[@ishaqsiam]

The first time you reviewed Asus's product 😍

[@fallofmanbrand]

great video bro

[@Kevaughan]

This is it chief.

[@kurobushi7746]

Opinions on the ADATA XPG SX8200 and Western Digital SN750 black (assuming you already knew that) Looking to get it for a boot drive and some work files. Bare in mind *I might* be able to get it half price from a friend who works in a store that sells these kinds components. I'm leaning towards the WD (Yeah I'm I posted this on another video didn't know if it would get answers)

[@cryptonaut5269]

I have this. It’s great

[@rollingmakitv1375]

that m.2 daughter board looks like it will conflict with huge dual-tower air coolers. do you think it will fit on this board? (assuming of course the case can fit it, like the Lian Li TU150)

[@GabbyTech]

perfect motherboard to push memory overclocking

[@pauljames1978]

@GearSeekers What Asus motherboard would you recommend that has no WIFI on the board and good for gaming for intel processors ?

[@Chocky0424]

What musoc is on the showcase? :) thank you

[@GearSeekers]

We make all the music

[@khanscombe619]

Lol, any real pc enthusiast knows what a CD/DVD is & for sure has a drive or 2. I make sure I have all my OS back ups in stored DVD cauee USB’s can corrupt or get lost or an oops format. It happens I use a slim BD/DVD for my music & family videos for those who like to play DVD.

Mate it's clearly a joke

screw to the m2 heatsink is fucking impossible to remove. Proper tools and everything it does not budge; the screws are threadlocked

Use a heavy screwdriver.

Is there enough space to fit an M.2 SSD with heatsink?

[@cameronmorgan4585]

those tiny fans for "active" cooling are the worst, noisy and go out within a year.

I took the Gigabyte version to this. For the price..

can this support 4 monitor?

[@rishithmohanty8612]

Can you also do a build using Asus z490-E gaming and core i9 10900k.

[@guilmm]

Gear Seekers = tech porn.

[@gunstargizmo]

I have this board and it's a piece of shite. Major instability issues hampered by a terrible software suite known as Armoury Crate. Armoury Crate wouldn't load the fan settings so my computer had no active cooling. My system shutdown with damage to the CPU. Asus won't replace the CPU so I'll be ditching them for someone else.

[@c-3pott860]
