It depends on your needs and budget. The Asus ROG Strix Z490-E offers better overclocking potential and a more modern design, but it may cost more and require a different BIOS setup. If you prioritize performance gains and are comfortable with the upgrade process, it could be worthwhile. Otherwise, sticking with the MSI MPG Z490 might be sufficient for your current requirements.

I don't have a CPU, and I don't perform overclocking.

You're considering getting another Z490, but it might not be a significant upgrade.

I upgraded my Intel i7-10700k to 4.4 GHz overclocking.

the main variation seems to be asynchronous behavior where asus enables a feature automatically, while msi does not.

The temperatures on the MB, VRAM, and CPU are within normal ranges.

I also use a NZXT Kraken X53 cooler for my CPU and have ample cooling capacity, which keeps temperatures under control.

After the Z490, most upgrades would be necessary. The Z590 chipset offers improvements over the Z490. While ASUS boards share many features with MSI Z490s, some unique capabilities are available on ASUS boards that MSI doesn’t have. However, the MSI board does support certain functions, though it hasn’t been fully enabled yet.

It seems you're asking about whether upgrading is not advised. Could you clarify your question?
