Thanks for that kksnowbear. I think the z490 ASUS boards will only be adding the new CPU support, and that PCIe 4.0 is probably a typo on the bottom of that page
https://www.asus.com/microsite/motherboard/Intel-Z490/

Other places just say CPU support but who knows, fingers crossed they have secret 4.0 in there.

A beta BIOS is available for my board (Asus ROG STRIX Z490e) and only mentions CPU support in the text too.
