Just noticed this is cheaper than most. Shipping shows as $13.50 for me.
RRP says $319 but most retailers have it for $250. Regardless, you save a bit.
Not sure how this compares to other Z490s.

Still debating whether I should pull the trigger or wait for tomorrow.
had no issues with mine, purchased 2 months ago
Great motherboard, nice inbuilt io shield and plenty of ports.
Currently paired with a i7-10700k, 2080 super and Cooler Master aio cpu cooler runs cool and no problems
Good to know mate. Planning to match this with a i9- 10850k.
$183.20 delivered if you have eBay Plus with PLUSBF20: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363003631581
If not, then tomorrow it will be the same price with PRESS20.
Thanks mate. Might go with that tomorrow. Is this good for value or do you suggest another mobo ?
Best value Z490 board you can buy at the moment. At this pricepoint you won't find another board with VRMs suitable for overclocking, let alone Intel NIC and Realtek ALC1200 audio too!

Ended up getting a normal Z490 instead of M on ebay.
futu's done some really scumming price jacking… its now $196… the ASUS ROG mATX i was looking at has gone up twice over the past 2 days…
Ooh yes scums. Original price was 235 but dropped to 229 midday yesterday and jacked up to 245 at 1030 this morning.
Only has one m.2 slot. Was going to pick this up but it's a deal breaker for me.
im not sure what it is but there appears to be a second port under the top m.2 not sure its usage though
From.what I could read in the specs it's states only one m.2 slot so not sure what that thing is. For me best not to take a chance, I just went with b460m mortar.
second m2 slot is reserved for future use, the current theory is that 11th gen cpu's will turn this slot into a PCI-e 4.0 capable slot for storage
are the issues sorted yet?
