According to our motherboard expert
Note: this motherboard only works with 10th generation Intel processors, with an LGA 1200 socket.
The MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus is a motherboard for gamers who select and place their own hardware components. Thanks to the Intel Z490 chipset, this motherboard is optimized for Intel Comet Lake processors. The ATX motherboard is designed in such a way that your components stay extra cooled by the heatsinks. You can connect 2 video cards for combined graphics power via AMD Crossfire. In addition, the Plus offers space for two M.2 SSDs, which allow you to create a fast storage. The M.2 slots have a heatsink, so they stay better cooled. This motherboard has 4 RAM slots for RAM with a maximum speed of 4133Hz. You can boost your computer to a higher speed with the MSI software, so all your favorite games run smoothly. You can also set the RGB lighting as the finishing touch for your gaming setup.

I'm a huge noob when it comes to building a PC. my authism is quietly becoming RGB, and lots of it. so when I got tired of my old Lenovo case, I bought a Corsair (I hang between corsair and razer fanboy in xD) 4000x with rgb fans and an AOI cooler (also Corsair. Then I found out that my original Lenovo MB was not compatible due to Missing USB-C connection and USB 2.0
this MSI MO was favorably priced, because instead of returning the case I stubbornly dived into the matter and bought me this MO with a new Intelli i5 11600 and the latter raised the price considerably. I'm not a hardcore gamer or just casual so love RGB....
But now the clue; MSI does not partner with Corsair Icue.
so I can't say anything smart about what's so good about this MO. only what's wrong with it and that's up to MSI, because they don't implement collaboration.
