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)

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.

Excelente producto, hasta ahorita funciona perfectamente.

I had all sorts of issues with 128GB of ram initially, but eventually got it all working.

likes its got it all cons cost

Very Good

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

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.

Bought this as soon as the Raptor Lake CPUs launched, so I put my new i9-13900 in this unit. Its the same shape and board layout as the Z690 model of this board, so the waterblocks and other things for the Z690 Hero seem to fit this board without any fuss. I cant guarantee that for *all* items, but the EKWB waterblock I had, for example, moved over and had no clearance issues at all.

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.
