Review: Nice board, good support. - This is a very nice board with a lot of features. I had an issue with a board that I bought previously, at first support was a little hectic but once I talked it through with them they were very accommodating with sending me different board to replace the one not working as well, the support from Asus has definitely improved
Review: Excellent and stable MOBO with great connectivity - First PC build. Have been using it now for a year. The Z790 Dark Hero has been super stable. Looks great, excellent number of USB ports, and ethernet and Wi-Fi network devices work flawlessly. Having 5 NVMI slots has been great for gaming and AI workloads. Used it with both a 4090 and 5090 and have had no issues. Did stop using the top NVMI slot to allow the PCIE 5 connection for the 5090 to have access to all lanes, so I "only" have 4 SSDs connected. I have nothing but good things to say about this MOBO. Armoury Crate is known to be a pain, but I don't have any complaints.

### ⭐⭐ Not the best
*by L***2 on 27 February 2025*

Delivery took 3 weeks. The RGB header pin were dented. The box edges was slightly dented. Feels like it got lost somewhere and it was found under a pile of items. The box condition was not like new.
