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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

likes its got it all cons cost

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.

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

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

Awesome. Very posh

Excelente funcionamiento y calidad
