ThinkComputers: ASUS PRIME Z490-A Motherboard Review
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. This way ASUS is able to keep the price of these boards fairly reasonable. You still get the quality you would expect from ASUS and a solid feature-set. The ASUS PRIME Z490-A features 14 DrMOS power stages, USB 3.2 gen 2, dual M.2 slots, 2.5G LAN and more! Read on as we take a look!

Anandtech: The NZXT N7 Z490 Motherboard Review: From A Different Direction
Its been nearly two years to the day since NZXT last released a motherboard, which was the Z370 N7. NZXT initially used ECS as its motherboard OEM, but has opted to use ASRock this time round for a new N7 model. This has the same N7 infused armor, albeit using a combined metal and plastic instead of just metal which does reduce the overall cost. Aiming for the mid-range market, NZXTs N7 Z490 features 2.5 GbE, Wi-Fi 6, dual M.2, and four SATA ports, and we give it our focus in this review.

Its not that surprising to see NZXT make a new Z490 motherboard, given that weve seen them tackle this design twice already. I am a little surprised they didnt have this board ready sooner, but with the way the world turns these days, Im sure they had enough hurdles to tackle.
