ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700(Intel®13th&12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,20+1power Stages,2.5Gb LAN, Bluetooth V5.2,2X Thunderbolt 4 Ports,5xM.2, Thunderbolt™ 4/USB4)

First motherboard where I cant put the memory on XMP and forget about it. The memory is unstable on XMP. I tried adding the timings in manually and that didnt work either. Great board if youre an advanced over clocker, but Im not. Yes the newest bios is in. I think its 8.13

I have stuck with ASUS for every build. I did because of their reliability - until now. I have a lot of experience building systems. I tried every trick I could think of to get this unit working: updated the BIOS and all the other items, like chipset updates, tried different variations of known good hardware, switched out the DRAM modules in different configurations, et. al., but nothing worked. All the hardware met ASUS compatibilty lists.

This POS motherboard destroyed 2 sets of ram I purchased and another set of ram i borrowed from a friend. there was some serious voltage instability. i was able to get it running after limiting my ddr5 ram to 4800 from the 5600 i borrowed. but just today it became unstable again. however it will still pass memtest86 now so it is 100% a MB issue. ASUS has gaslit me over the past month and i will never purchase another MB from them again. its just not worth the trouble.

This board is garbage, for the sole fact that it will never be able to run a gen 5 ssd, why? Because it only supports a gen 5 in the hypercard in the 2nd pcie slot, but with todays thick GPUs that slot is covered completely by the GPU.

Went to windows all fine but.... I dont recommend flashing the bios. It bricked the motherboard with a permanent q-26 error number. Reset the CMOS in every way 20 times making no difference. Than customer service told me other customers are having the same issue. I did a replacement without flashing the bios and things are fine. Other than that, great motherboard as usual

Very Good

I just built a new rig with an intel raptor with Corsair Dominator 128 gigs of 5600, an Evga supernova 1600 watts PSU, and it blue-screen-of-death when I overclock to xmp1/2. All drivers are up to date and firmware. I remember why I left Asus for Gigabytes.

The motherboard looks great and has impressive specs. Unfortunately it is very unstable despite tweaking the xmp profile to match various types of ddr5 corsair ram. Was eventually able to get stable enough to boot but then the nvidia 3080ti driver was causing the system to crash as soon as you open a browser window. The gpu began overheating just trying to run windows 10. The latest bios update seemed to smooth out the ram but not resolve it. The gpu then created a bsod error at which point I gave up and returned the motherboard. Currently waiting on refund so I can find a more stable option. I think asus needs to refine their high end mobo before releasing to the wild at this price point. Save your money and buy something else until they get their bios sorted out on this one. Also, numerous bent pins. There is a subreddit forum on the topic of this issue.

This isnt the extreme, but its still an amazing board.

los perifericos tienden a desconectarse aleatoriamente de forma random, espero que sea un caso aislado y solucionen este problema con alguna actualizacion
