The Asus ROG Strix Z490-I is a compact, ITX form factor motherboard for 10th-generation Core series processors. Despite its small size, it packs a lot of features and connectivity. Inside, it offers two full-size memory slots, four SATA ports, two M.2 connectors, and a PCI-Express x16 slot that can be used for a full size GPU or other expansion card (provided the chassis is large enough). Externally, the board provides a wide range of connections: audio input / output, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and eight total USB ports, including one USB Type C. There are also two video outputs, HDMI and DisplayPort, thanks to the Intel graphics built into the CPU.
