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)

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.

Es una motherboard de mucha calidad! Su instalación fue sencilla, los tips que puedo darles es al momento de instalarla tengan listo ya en un usb la última actualización de la bios que la pueden obtener de la página y también las actualizaciones del wifi y lan cuando instalen windows y con eso no tendrán problemas, excelente motherboard !!!

Paid for a new motherboard, received a very used board with scratches and missing thermal pads.

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

Motherboard arrived with slightly misaligned mounting holes, this led to some minor scraping at the site of one of the holes when the screw would not thread through. Once assembled, the board would not send power to attached components and the PC would not turn on. Took the PC to technicians who determined the motherboard was not routing power. Sent the board in for repair. Received a response that the scrape voided the warranty on the board. The scrape came from poor manufacturing processes and had nothing to do with the malfunctioning of the power circuits in the board. Poor production quality and very poor customer service. 1/10 would not recommend.

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.

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.

My only problem with this is about the chipset getting 75 grades idle… playing simple games with ultra resolution like Overwatch it can reach 81 grades. When powering it on. It gets 55 grades.

Awesome. Very posh
