Intel Z490 ATX motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS is an ATX form-factor motherboard built around the Intel Z490 chipset for LGA 1200 processors. It supports DDR4 memory up to a maximum of 128 GB. The board ships with one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel.

Suited for LGA 1200 DDR4 builds

This board suits builders assembling a system with an LGA 1200 processor who need DDR4 memory support and ATX layout. It is not for buyers who require a brand-new unit with original packaging and a full accessory bundle. It is also not for builds that cannot accept ATX dimensions.

Verify socket, memory and case fit

Confirm the processor is an LGA 1200 model compatible with the Intel Z490 chipset. Ensure the planned memory is DDR4 and does not exceed the 128 GB limit. Check that the chassis accepts an ATX motherboard and that the I/O back panel supplied matches the case cut-out.
