HI All
Z490 Aorus Master have uploaded a bios f20a with the description

1. BIOS update to be compatible with 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors
2. Enable Resizable Base-Address Register (Resizable-BAR) option to enhance GPU performance.

dont think it will be long before we are given a release date if the bios's have started to be updated ready

you wont go wrong with the z490 Aorus Master mine has been rock solid, and easy to overclock

 

[Tinkers2004]

running with 4 8gb ddr 4000 sticks of ram as well

also heard that most GPU's and Motherboards are also going up due to tariffs imposed on china between 7.5 and 25% which started in the new year

 

[Tinkers2004]

also rumoured that the z590 motherboards will also support PCIE4 without needing the 11th gen chips

I can see most prices increasing this year and the companies blaming Brexit. I know that there isn't as many flight so they are shipping by boat which is considerably more expensive. Also a shortage of chips due to manufacturing issues. I think it is going to be a bit of a bad year to be honest for availability and pricing

PCIE4 is supposedly going to be supported by the Z590 chipset if an older 10th gen CPU is used, or direct to CPU if a 11th Gen CPU is used

Due to the shortage of space because everything is coming by boat the prices have increased significantly, also when they are flying, again due to shortage due to limited flights the price of haulage via plane as also seen significant increases
