how is z490 more dead end than x570As long as you are ok with the 2-gen lifecycle, then it really doesn't matter which one you get, cause they all are essentially dead-end products before you even get them
But if ya gotta, IMHO, the elite would be the better of the 3
I don't think am4 cpus are topping 10900K gaming performance and there's rocket lake coming to lga1200 yetWhich one of this boards will you choose to pair with 10700k/10900k?

yeah that is true but we're at the point of a refresh of 3rd genI don't know for sure, but within the recent past, AMD's chips have been good for at least 2-3 gens for the most part, save for a few additional features here & there, but we'll have to see when the next new ryzen chips come out...

also no support for igpuI have learned my lesson ... I never buy / build with 1st stepping boards
Have had a lot of discussions with users planning a build ... and the most talked about board so far at the $200 - $300 price point is the Gaming Edge Wifi. I havent started reading the test and reviews as yet as we won't be building anything till end of summer. Was curious enough to go read whose having what problems folks were having w/ Z490 ?
Only 1 board had more than 12 reviews and now i know why it was so oft mentioned ... it was Gaming Edge Wifi. I havent seen and component listing for this board yet. One thing I have noticed is a leg of debug code displays which I find disturbing ... I was kinda hoping LEDs would go the way of the beeps
Looking at your 3 boards wile I was looking at user experiences ...
Aorus Elite AC - Just one review, not statistically significant but gave it 5 eggs
Aorus Pro AX - only 2 reviews a 1 egg and a 2 egg. To small a number to call statistically significant ... users not looking too well experienced
Asus Z490-E - Not listed
At this point, I'm liking the Z490 Unify ... and one of iyts biggest assets ... no RGB
MSI MEG Z490 Unify Review
Focused on VRM power and thermals, as well as a sleek and stealthy aesthetic, the MSI MEG Z490 Unify is shaping up to be a serious contender for the best value enthusiast board. With sixteen 90 A power stages from Intersil and active VRM cooling, no CPU is too power hungry for the Unify.www.techpowerup.com

super easy to plug stuff in the darkI thought the led was a nice looking gimmick,but it actually lights up usb ports on the rear so even it the night time you see exactly where you're plugging stuff
