Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about ASRock Z490M ITX AC

  • Excellent value for a Z490 ITX board, often priced under $200
  • Solid performance for mid-range CPUs like the Intel Core i5-10600K
  • Includes dual LAN ports (2.5GbE and 1GbE) and built-in Wi-Fi 5/Bluetooth
  • Dual M.2 slots both equipped with heatsinks
  • No CNVi whitelist on the Wi-Fi slot, making it popular for Hackintosh builds
  • Feature-rich BIOS and support for BCLK boosting on non-K CPUs

What we don't like about ASRock Z490M ITX AC

  • VRM design is relatively weak, making it unsuitable for heavy overclocking on i7 or i9 processors
  • Lack of onboard VRM temperature sensors can make monitoring difficult during stress tests
  • The VRM heatsinks are small, which may lead to thermal throttling under extreme loads
  • Does not include an internal USB-C front panel header
  • Limited rear I/O with only six total USB ports

Verdict

The ASRock Z490M-ITX/ac is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard featuring the Intel Z490 chipset and LGA 1200 socket, specifically designed for 10th Gen Intel Core processors. Key specifications include an 8-phase power design, two DDR4 slots supporting overclocked speeds up to 4400MHz+, and dual Ultra M.2 slots (one PCIe/SATA, one PCIe-only) with integrated heatsinks. It excels in connectivity with dual LAN ports—one being a high-speed 2.5G Dragon LAN—and built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. Main pros include its surprisingly robust networking options for its size, feature-rich BIOS, and support for non-K CPU overclocking via Base Frequency Boost technology. However, its small VRM heatsinks make it less ideal for heavy overclocking of high-end i7 or i9 K-series models, and it is limited by older HDMI 1.4 and Bluetooth 4.2 standards.
