Asus ProART Series Z490-CREATOR 10G Intel Z490 Socket LGA1200 ATX Motherboard (ProART Z490-CREATOR 10G)

Every aspect of ASUS ProArt motherboards is built to remove barriers and deliver optimal performance to content creators who work in 3D modeling and rendering, animation or media production. The series empowers you to concentrate on your creativity and expand what is possible.

Ultrafast Connectivity for Seamless Speed

Onboard 2.5G Intel Ethernet and optional 10G Ethernet card are both provided to boost cloud- and internet-based communication for accelerated workflow. A comprehensive set of high-performance I/O ports — including two Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports — enable quick data transfer speeds and extensive storage options with flexible, hassle-free connectivity.\

Dual Thunderbolt 3 Type-C Ports

Each Thunderbolt 3 port supports DisplayPort 1.4 output and can daisy-chain to up to six devices, with 15 watts of power to fast-charge devices. ProArt Z490-CREATOR 10G features two Thunderbolt 3 ports, offering a total of up to 40 Gbps of aggregate interface bandwidth, which allows numerous devices to be connected to the motherboard at once with ultrafast data transfer speeds.

HYPER 10G LAN Card

A HYPER 10G LAN card enables speeds that are up to 10 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet — so it’s ideal for content creators who frequently work with large files. Upload 4K video or transfer other large files quickly and with ease.

The HYPER 10G LAN card can be installed for additional connectivity options. Installation is easy, and simply requires inserting the card into a PCIe® 3.0 slot and connecting your existing copper network cables to the RJ45 Ethernet port. No software installation or setup is necessary.

Onboard 2.5G Intel Ethernet

Onboard 2.5G Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with up to a 2.5X improvement over standard Ethernet connections for faster file transfers, high-res video streaming and smoother lag-free gaming.

Dual M.2 slots

One M.2 slot supports SATA and PCIe® 3.0 x4 modes, and the other supports PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe, offering up to 32 Gbps data-transfer speeds and flexible M.2 interfaces.

Intelligent Optimization

ASUS ProArt Z490-CREATOR 10G offers simple and flexible tools that enhance almost every aspect of your content-creation system, giving you the fast, intuitive control needed for efficient workflow. It features dynamic automated tuning with AI overclocking and AI cooling, in addition to CreationFirst software, which prioritizes and optimizes your network traffic for faster, lag-free online work.

AI Overclocking

ASUS AI Overclocking automatically tunes your system with onboard intelligence that monitors system vitals — such as temperatures, fan speeds and power draw — to estimate cooling and overclocking headroom and deliver optimal performance for content-creation workflows.

Predictive Edge

The algorithm analyzes your CPU and cooling system and, based on what it finds, predicts optimal settings. The software then uses these settings to automatically guide the clocking process, balancing frequency and voltage.

Real-time Adjustments

The software monitors workload, system temperature, fan speed and power draw every minute, and makes real-time adjustments to ensure ongoing optimal performance.

AI Cooling

With one click, AI Cooling function will automatically manage and control motherboard-connected fans to ensure optimal settings based on current system load and temperature.

CPU Temperature Detection

AI Cooling detects CPU temperatures and uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate the lowest fan speed required to effectively cool the system and keep fan noise down.

Automated Optimization

Under stable system loads, the software then automatically lowers fan* speed to the optimal setting, decreasing fan noise without compromising performance.

Ongoing Monitoring

AI Cooling continues to monitor the system and adjust fan speed based on current load.

CreationFirst

CreationFirst network-optimization software allows you to prioritize applications in order to allocate more bandwidth to speed up essential apps and tasks.

Adaptive Intelligence Mode

CreationFirst intelligently prioritizes bandwidth of heavy-use applications by identifying in-use applications and using foreground acceleration. This allows for smoother multi-tasking, so you can work on projects while efficiently transferring files and downloading project materials.

Creation First Mode

Creation First mode allocates more bandwidth to active content creation applications to optimize network traffic, making your content creation workflow more efficient.

Network Insights

An intuitive graph gives you clear insights into current network traffic and bandwidth consumption by application or task type in real-time.

ProArt Creator Hub

A user-friendly interface provides applications designed to enhance workflow through central control of all connected ProArt series products, including motherboards and displays.

Dashboard

The dashboard monitors the overall status of the system and selects different modes to optimize performance for current tasks.

Fan Mode

Fan mode quickly configures your system cooling by selecting preferred fan settings.

Task Group

Applications that are frequently used together can be arranged into groups and launched with a single click. These task groups can be set up on the WorkSmart page.
