amazon ASUS ProArt Z490 Creator 10G reviews

As part of the new Z490 series of motherboards supporting 10th Gen Intel CPUs, and alongside gaming motherboards, ASUS is also offering ProArt Z490 Creator 10G creative users to welcome them more in the PC market.

A few years ago, the term Creator or Content Creators was still a new class of users. At that time, the supporting products for this industry were not many and not as diverse as the user class. This industry has begun to be recognized in the past 1-2 years, and computer component manufacturers have begun to focus more on this user class. ASUS is also for that reason, besides its motherboards for gamers, it also offers ProArt Z490 Creator 10G for “creative people.”

“Creatives” can range from architects and designers to video and audio editors and game producers. These users demand high configuration equal to or even more than today’s gaming boards when the work consumes many resources. So the ProArt Z490 Creator 10G motherboard is also equipped with a huge VRM 12+2 Power Stage by ASUS to make the most of the latest and most powerful CPUs from Intel with a multiplier of up to 10.

The design overview of the motherboard is quite simple and doesn’t have as much flashy color as ASUS gaming boards. The design language of ProArt Z490 Creator 10G is quite minimalist with two parts, high side and low side MOSFET, gathered into one to achieve the highest performance. However, this board is not simple when ASUS cleverly creates more accents with yellow areas, especially the yellow ProArt highlight located in the chipset heatsink area.

The chipset heatsink area and the M.2 SSD slot protection cover are also designed in sync with the heatsink cluster to bring uniformity in the overall appearance of the motherboard. Regarding the number of SSDs of ProArt Z490 Creator 10G, the board has two M.2 slots with one slot supporting SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 while the other slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe providing high data transfer speeds up to 32Gbps.

Creative users have high graphics power needs and rely on one or more discrete graphics cards; ASUS creator boards have up to three PCIe x16 slots, allowing users to install up to three graphics cards in a PCE x8-x8-x4 topology. Besides multiple graphics cards, the motherboard also offers 4 DDR4 4600MHz+ Dual Channel RAM slots.

Finally, creative users also need high connectivity ports, so ASUS provides simple yet complete motherboards, including high-speed connectivity such as Thunderbolt 3 with 40 Gbps also present. There are also 2 Display Port /in/ ports available on the main and many other USB ports such as 4 USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-A) ports, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) ports on the back; 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-C) port, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) ports and 4 USB 2.0 ports on the front panel. Not to mention the high-speed 2.5Gb Ethernet port.
