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 board is amazing , little bit on expensive side but if your the type of guy that appreciate quality and functionality then it is the way to go.

This board so far, rocks. love all of the features, costly, but worth it, if you are into high end computer builds.

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.

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.

Excelente producto, hasta ahorita funciona perfectamente.

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.

Very Good

likes its got it all cons cost

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.

I upgraded my PC from a Z590 Hero to this Z790 Hero, and I couldnt be more pleased... except for the lack of broad DDR 5 memory support. I tried a 4-stick 128GB Kingston DDR 5 Kit that was supposedly supported but found it very unstable. I fell back to a 2-stick 64GB Corsair kit that has been rock-solid.
