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)

The Intel NIC keeps losing its 2500 speed setting, usually on waking up from sleep.

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

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

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.

Have had this board in my rig for a few months now running a 13900k with 128GB of DDR5 Dominator 5600 RAM and a 3080Ti (I know, graphics cards arent cheap nor in ample supply). For the first few weeks I didnt have many issues only for the occasional BSOD. Updated the BIOS the first time and then my system became even more unstable. Updated to the latest 813 BIOS and I wasnt able to go 5 minutes without a BSOD. I first thought maybe it was windows 11 not liking something so I downgraded to win 10 and even had added an extra NVME drive to install Ubuntu. Both crashed as well. So I went searching the web and found a forum that hinted at the issue of this board not being stable with 128 GB of RAM. So I tested it and took the a1 and b1 sticks off the board. Not a single crash since. I hope they fix this soon.

likes its got it all cons cost

Once installed works amazing, but the manual and instructions are not intuitive at all. Was unable to get the computer to post to find out that every power connector needs to be plugged into the motherboard from the psu, however this is not mentioned anywhere in the manual. Once that was figured out, the motherboard has been performing excellent.

Excelenter placa, como todas las de la linea Hero.

Next-Gen M.2 Support: PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot on the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 card (NOT WITH RTX 4090 INSTALLED) My ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX® 4090 covers the x16 slot that the Hyper M.2 card needs to go in. No PCIe 5.0 M.2 for me. Deal breaker? No, but 700.00 dollars is a lot to pay and lose the ability to use the next gen M.2 5.0 SSD. But REALLY ASUS, you made the motherboard and the video card! Think about it ASUS. We are going to pay top dollar for a motherboard. You have to know we want to use the best video card available. Im not going to send it back, because I plan on using the new 990 PRO PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 2TB. Not going to get into the numbers, but this drive should be darn close to the 5.0 speeds for now. And if you are considering a riser cable. No luck there. Not only do the 5.0 cables not exist, from my research the 3.0 cables dont work half the time. Also, you cannot use the Hyper card in the 1rst x16 slot. It needs to go in the 2nd x16 slot for PCIe 5.0. to work. On the good side there are boards under 300.00 dollars you can buy that do not have this issue.
