ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO Intel Z790 LGA 1700 ATX

There is nothing that I did not like, everything I liked, but if it was white, it would be more beautiful

Having completed the build, we have identified only one of the RAM bays works, I know we should send it back however as everything else works it is a dilemma, as we want to start gaming. You would hope the QA/QS procedures would have identified such a basic issue, very disappointed.

I'm really happy with the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard. It's been handling my demanding PC setup, which includes a 4090 OC and other high-performance components, without breaking a sweat.The motherboard's impressive array of features like advanced overclocking capabilities, robust power delivery, and extensive connectivity options including Wi-Fi 6E, make it a top choice for anyone looking to future-proof their gaming rig. It supports the latest DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, ensuring that you get the most out of your high-end components.If you're building a PC that demands high power and wants to stay ahead of technology curves, this motherboard is an excellent choice.

Vengo de usar toda mi vida componentes de msi pero está vez decidí armarme una pc completamente con componentes asus, sin duda no me arrepiento de nada y valió cada centavo, muy bonita tarjeta madre con un rendimiento muy bueno. Recomendada totalmente, estética de 10, excelente componente para armar una pc de gama alta y también me gustó mucho la bios de asus.

OK, I know there is a lot of competition out there in the market of motherboards. There are absolutely better deals that can be found in regards to price to performance comparisons. Mother boards used to be cost conscious; now their prices are getting to extreme levels for those of you who are enthusiasts. If you are on a budget or want a board that has great performance, but won't hit your wallet so hard, this mobo might not be for you.With that said, if you have the budget, or if you've been saving for a computer build and you know what you want and you want to have options to explore now or grow into down the road, this board is AMAZING! If you are a gamer, get this board. If you want to explore water cooling, get this board. If you want to use plenty of m.2 drives rather than sata ssds, get this board. If you're into RGB and want plenty of configuration options, get this board. There are so many features, you won't be disappointed.And now for a few caveats. Scalpers have gotten bad. Not only do they scalp gpus, but aspect scalping mobos have become a thing. This board is already expensive enough. Scalpers but up the available stock and try to resell for $150-$600 over msrp. DO NOT BUY AT THIS PRICE! You can find much better boats for that price if you desire. But if you are patient, you will be able to find this board for msrp, so wait it out, purchase from a trustworthy source, and then enjoy all the possibilities this board brings.Next, the Armory Create software is a little buggy. It might be better to update your drivers one-by-one from asus website rather than using armory create, but I've noticed this isn't always the case for everyone. Personally, I feel Armory Crate comes with a lot of bloatware, and I found myself deselecting several programs during installation. But, whatever you do, absolutely upgrade your BIOS firmware. This board can handle DDR5 RAM at higher frequencies, but to utilize the XMP settings without compatibility issues, make sure you have the latest BIOS version. Updating is not as scary as people make it out to be, and it will ensure you have the latest security features and compatibility with the latest RAM.Another worthy mention is that I haven't upgraded my system in 7 years. The mobo I'm coming from is the old ROG z290 Maximus Code IX. It was a great board for the time, but that bugger is long outdated. Going from that board to this one is night and day. It cannot be stated how much of a performance boost this board allows for. But as there is such a huge leap in technology, I'll admit I'm a little biased because dang-near anything would have been a huge upgrade for me.TL;DR: If you have the money and want plenty of options and are an enthusiast, this board will be great for you; if you're on a budget or don't need all the extra functionality, there are much better options out there.

Honestly love this motherboard, it’s absolutely gorgeous and solid features. Only thing I wish it had was native 10Gb Ethernet. Great upgrade from my Asus Hero VI.
