* Changed to a 1 star review , so i go onto the support page for my board as i want to update to windows 11, theres a recent bios update saying its for compatibility with windows 11 with a nice video on how to enable bios options for win 11. Download the update , put it on a usb, flash via the bios m flash as you should, restart and the board is bricked with the cpu light on. Search online and see 50 page forum threads about people with similar issues, MSI are nonchalant about it , BIOS updates are russian roulette with z490 boards and thats it! bought a gigabyte and will never buy an MSI board again!

The motherboard itself has RGB which can be controlled through Dragon Center, which is also a brilliant piece of kit. Frozr shield for 1 of 2 SSD slots is also available; which can also be disabled through Dragon Center if required. 6 case fans all with 4-pin connectors are conveniently placed around the motherboard with a separate AIO pump fan and an air cooler fan for the CPU is included.
The box comes with 3 SSD stand-off screws (1 spare) and stickers for sleek cable management, along with the usual paperwork, manual and SATA connectors. Packaged well with motherboard safety in mind.
In terms of installation, the IO shield fits perfectly in my case cut-outs (NZXT H510) and installation was a breeze. The motherboard comes with a middle stand-off cutout to make mounting it easier.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both work flawlessly after chipset and LAN driver updates. At the time of writing both upload and download speeds are as expected from my ISP and speeds are pretty much the same as as an ethernet connection so no losses there. If it isn't already clear - I am very happy with the on-board Wi-Fi.
Overall, this is a fantastic motherboard which has been designed and manufactured very well. Very happy with this purchase and hope to continue using it in future builds.

Gives you the EDGE that you need

The MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI is a fantastic motherboard - easy to install and comes with a very helpful quick start guide included in the first few pages of the manual. Also comes with a preinstalled IO shield which for some can save a lot of time and hassle (me!).By A A on 10 August 2020

first board come broke but got a new board 2 days later free of charge after sending the broken one back, This board suits well with my 10700k
have had no issue so far, clean looks good and bios is usable
I did have to configure the bios to get 5.1-5.2GHz on my cpu and 3200 for my ram but its was easy enough
