Other than the Asus bloatware/malware, the z490g is phenomenal board that is exceeded expectations. I believe it to be the best mATX option in the price range.

BUYER BEWARE
I've used this for a few months now, and upgraded the memory to 128 GB and the CPU to i9-10900.
I have FOUR (now) negative issues to report:
1. Prior to (and after) the memory and CPU upgrades, the USB constantly stops and restarts so my keyboard and mouse die and come back off and on all day with +/- 20 second gaps where they're gone. I also have four external drives connected via USB 3 so they die and come back too. I'm VERY tired of this. If the fact that I'm using all the USB ports is an issue then the board shouldn't have so many USB ports. This is doubled down by dealing with a (new) Corsair K63 Wireless keyboard, which is AMAZING -- when it works and when Windows can find it--which is about three or four times each day, and also which is NEVER when you boot to the BIOS.
2. I have two monitors plugged in. One uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 via an HDMI port and the other monitor uses an onboard HDMI port. During the day +/- five times, the monitors will shut off and the display will move to only one monitor. This also happened when I had both monitors plugged into the RTX 2070. I'd hoped that by plugging one into the card and one into the motherboard this would stop but it hasn't.
3. After the memory upgrade, and before (and after) the CPU upgrade, I get 2+ daily BSODs with the stopcode: KERNEL_HEAP_MODE_CORRUPTION. I've been working on this issue for over a week with no resolution even though I'm following numerous guides online about software removal, video card driver updates and rollbacks, etc.
4. This is a KILLER (and I love ASUS -- but I'm getting tired of ASUS issues). We have gigabit internet, and with my previous PC ( a big bada boom Origin PC) I would get 800+ MBPS on average. After beginning to use this ASUS ROG Strix with a "2.5gb" network connection and Wi-Fi 6 (whatever), I never got over 300 MBPS. I contacted my ISP and they identified damage to our line outside from the box to the house, that a signal was getting into the line. They ran new line from the box to our house and then new line into the house. No improvement at this computer even though the tech showed me him getting 980 MBPS from our modem (Netgear CM1000), and from our router (Netgear Nighthawk) --both gigabit equipment. Our ISP requires a DOCSIS 3.0 32x8 to get gigabit internet so we bought an ASUS CM-32_AC2600 Modem Router (which removes one device from the loop by combining the modem and router. My work Macbook Pro gets 291 MBPS on 2.6 wifi. This ASUS, WIRED cannot get over 40 MBPS, and it is worse if I use the wifi 6 that is supposed to be so great. It isn't. I've tried changing ethernet speed from Auto duplex to 1 gig and even 2.5 gig with no change. I added a 1 gig ethernet card and it gets even worse connectivity--so there is an issue with this board. I'm replacing this board with an ASUS Maximus and hope it is better.
UPDATE ON PERFORMANCE vs. PREVIOUS ROCKSTAR ORIGIN PC:
My previous Origin PC beat this PC in reliability hands down. Origin knew what they were doing when they built my previous machine. Of course I don't have their skill set but by putting together compatible components as I did with my above build it should have worked. Nothing I did was bleeding edge but everything is behaving like it is bleeding edge. I love how fast and great this ASUS Z490G runs now as a 128 GB memory, i9-10900, RTX 2070 PC on Windows 10 Pro, but the UNreliability of this makes this experience way less than great whether I'm working or getting my a-- handed to me in COD before it BSODs mid-game at night or BSODs mid-day at work.
I'm considering returning this board for a diff LGA 1200 that is more reliable and will take all my components.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I love ASUS motherboards and their amazing BIOS capabilities.
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G Gaming (WiFi 6) Z490 LGA 1200 (Intel 10th Gen) SFF Micro ATX Gaming Motherboard is a very powerful motherboard right now, at a superb price, and it is loaded with features.
The ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G Motherboard fits perfectly inside the Thermaltake Core V21 SPCC Micro ATX Cube Computer Chassis like they were designed on the same machine and built next to each other in the same factory. EVERYTHING FITS PERFECTLY: Screws, I/O panel, everything.
After decades of building PCs I fully expected to be disappointed with the fit of the MB on the risers/offsets (lining up with mounting holes for screws), and I really was expecting the I/O panel in the back would not line up and would be the wrong size by a mm here and an mm there. Wrong. They fit like they were made for each other.
Bravo ASUS and bravo Thermaltake.
If you're into aesthetics this thing is beautiful in real life. When I opened the box, took off the static bag, and set it on my desk I was in awe. My other PC is based on an ASUS Rampage V Extreme and it is very nice, but this ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G is like a supermodel.
This is being built with a 1TB NVMe SSD for the OS, RAID HDDs for data, 64GB Corsair DDR4 memory kit, Intel Core i5-10400 CPU, a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce 8G Graphics Card, and an 850w Gold Thermaltake PSU. This gives me the most power for the memory for the money now (I'll always take more memory and a smaller CPU). Later I can upgrade the CPU to i9 or the memory 128GB.
If I remember to, I'll come back later with notes on performance.
I can't wait to compare this to my other PC. it's an OriginPC with ASUS Rampage V Extreme, 80GB memory, Nvidia GTX GeForce 980Ti 6GB, Intel Core i7 5820K Hex-Core 3.3GHz, 512GB Samsung 850 Pro Series SSD for OS.

I was able to overclock my 10850k to 5ghz at 1.31v.
I always buy Asus motherboards and planning on doing so as long as they exist :)
I have a Corsair crystal mATX case i modified to fit a full custom water loop solution in with a GTX 1080ti in it, there was no way i was walking away from all that work and this board has everything you could ask for in it. Gen4 support is not important, my old asus board died after 8 years so I'm looking forward to having this in service for 5-8 years as well.

DON'T EVER BUY A LENOVO PRODUCT. Utter garbage.
- Great overclocking motherboard, with excellent and cool VRMs
- Sturdy, well-built PCB, with very nice layout of features
- Great onboard RGB lighting, with plenty of RGB connectors both 12V and 5V
Cons:
- EPS12V connector pins located farther middle at the top of the motherboard layout
- Only a single M.2 heatsink, especially since both M.2 slots are next to each other
- Lack of PCB backplate for a 330$ is a letdown

Default setting overclocks your cpu by pumping over 1.6v and make it sit at 60 celsius at idle.
Even if you change it, it resets back to default after reboot.
