ASUS ROG Strix Z490-I Gaming
LGA 1200, Intel Z490, Mini-ITX
Product rating for ASUS ROG Strix Z490-I Gaming
Compact with pitfalls.
It is a very compact MB, with everything I need.
Dear ASUS,
with the MB comes 4 SATA cables, two of them are angled, which is basically ok ... but ... the SATA connectors on the MB are mounted 180 degrees backwards, and therefore you can NOT use the angled SATA cables ... really weak!!! Luckily you always have some SATA cables in stock.
Also, mounting the M.2 SSD is a bit tricky because everything is tight and kind of plugs together ... the M.2 is now in and I hope it lives a long time ...
... oh yes, the 4 screws to fix the MB to the case should not only be mentioned, but also supplied ...
I hope it will now run forever ....
Pro
- Compact Mini ITX
- many connections
Contra
- Sata connections upside down
- M.2 slot somewhat cumbersome
