ASUS ProArt Z490 Creator 10G Motherboard Pictured
ASUS recently posted a teaser collage of its upcoming motherboards, in which a motherboard with ProArt branding stood out. ASUS targets products from its ProArt brand at serious content creators, engineers, and professionals. The lineup includes notebooks, monitors, desktops, and other components related to creators. VideoCardz scored the first clear picture of the latest entry to the series, the ProArt Z490 Creator 10G. The board tosses out all "gaming" bling in favor of sober product design and premium components that go into reliable quasi-workstation builds. The ProArt brand is picking up the mantle from the coveted Pro WS brand.
Chunky, stall heatsinks with straight ridged lines cool the CPU VRM and two of the the board's three M.2 slots. Connectivity includes a 10 GbE interface through an included add-on card; a 1 GbE / 2.5 GbE onboard Ethernet interface, at least four USB 3.2 x2 ports (from which two are type-C), and display connectors that include a pair of DisplayPorts and a HDMI.

These guys have to come up with a different name. Why even ditch Pro WS name? It was just fine
And poor VRM heatsink. Of course, if you will use PL1/2 in Auto, it's no problem.
Still waiting RKL.
This expansion thing is just a waste
Damn it! Even have it on vinyl... :P
Having said that, I do like the overall no-bling, stealthy-looking appearance of the board, even though it could be better on the components/features side :)
