Maximus Viii Extreme

Installed on my Maximus XI Apex and it's awesome 10g speeds.

Compared to the 1.4x vII, the vIII is primarily sharper at the edges and corners with a full frame sensor. I use it with the 70-200 F/4.0 L-IS with excellent results.

Running 5900x crosshair viii hero mobo with a 2060 super, dropped my GPU and CPU Temps at idle almost 20 C over thermaltake M20 case. Incredible value, great looking and well built case. Would highly recommend especially if temps are an issue for you.

My MB is a Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-FI) X570 (AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT) with dual PCIE 4.0 x4 slots populated with these bad boys. I use them as my gaming drives to get optimum load times. When I recently built this rig in late September, I used WD Blues to do the same thing. The loading times were easily a third to half what they had been Destiny loads, both before Beyond Light and after were awesome. Well worth the cost!

I wanted a soft case for my Sony RX100 Viii and this fits perfectly. I also love that the belt loop on the back uses velcro so I can take on and off without having to undo my belt.

The ROG Crosshair VIII Here (Wifi) is an excellent AM4 motherboard that delivers great power and speed when I combined it with a R9 5950X, 64GB of DDR4-3600, and Samsung 980 Pro NVME drives. I highly recommend the Wifi version as it includes both Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity; a must for most any user in today's world. I am very happy with this board as PC builder and user for 35+ years!

Ultra-wide on a Kolari Vision Thin Filter modified Sony A7. vIII addressed the color cast issues with the prior versions and has very good performance - exceptionally strong for the price. Very satisfied.

Half the cores but higher score! Need I say more? 5950x on Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero MB, 64 GB b-die RAM at 3600, 14-14-14-28. No games - just an image-crunching beast.

I built my last computer in like NOV-DEC of 2013. The motherboard was a ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero (Intel-compatible). It has worked flawlessly all these years, and I couldn't ask for more. It still works. I decided it's time to upgrade because I wanted an ultrawide monitor. The last thing I wanted to do was have to tear all the components out and RMA a board, costing me HOURS of my life, all for saving $100 of a cheaper MB on the front end. So I opted for the once again flagship product from Asus and my expectations are high!

I am submitting a better picture of the top band. Note the Maximus comes with a fitting for a top band that works perfect with one inch nylon.
