The Intel Z590 Motherboard Overview: 50+ Motherboards Detailed
by Gavin Bonshor on January 19, 2021 10:15 AM ESTASRock Z590M Pro4
The ASRock Z590M Pro 4 is the micro-ATX version of the ATX Z590 Pro 4, with a very similar feature set and aesthetic. The Z590M Pro 4 includes a silver and black printed PCB, silver heatsinks, and is one of just a tiny handful of micro-ATX models on Z590. ASRock is advertising a 12-phase power delivery, likely to the same spec as the larger Z590 Pro4. The Pro4 does include limited RGB capability, with LEDs integrated around the chipset heatsink.
The ASRock Z590 Pro4 includes two full-length PCIe slots, with the top slot operating at PCIe 4.0 x16 and the second slot at PCIe 3.0 x4, with two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. The board includes four memory slots with support for DDR4-4800 and a maximum combined total of 128 GB. Storage options include two M.2 slots, including one PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x4/SATA M.2 slot, as well as four SATA ports, two right-angled and two-straight angled with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays.
On the rear panel are two USB 3.2 G2 Type-A, two USB 3.2 G1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports, with a single Ethernet port powered by an unspecified Gigabit controller. The board includes three 3.5 mm audio jacks powered by a Realtek ALC897 HD audio codec, with a DisplayPort and HDMI video output pairing for users leveraging Intel's HD graphics. Finishing off the rear panel is a PS/2 keyboard and mouse combo port designed for legacy peripherals.
At the time of writing, ASRock hasn't shared details on its Z590 pricing.

I'm a bit surprised they went to an x8 3.0 link on the chipset instead of an x4 4.0 one, even if everything coming off of the chipset is still limited to 3.0 speed.QinX - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
Might be because it makes routing the traces easier, they don't have to adhere to the PCIe 4.0 signal requirements. Downside would be that more pins are required.scottlarm - Saturday, January 23, 2021 - link

Other being quite boring platform , there is noticeable lack of M-ATX offerings.Chaitanya - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
Also it seems like even with properly finned heatsinks Gigabyte Aorus master requires a fan to cool VRMs which is not a good sign.g85222456 - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
