Rog Maximus Z790 Hero Bios

Best headset I've ever owned! I went with the Asus Z690 Maximus Hero motherboard and couldn't pass up the new Asus Rog Animate keyboard and Asus Rog Animate headset.

Have enjoyed my new Asus Rog Strix Z790-E WiFi motherboard. It has all of the features that I could ever need and found it on sale, so that makes the purchase even better. RGB features are very pleasing. Storage capacity for SSD's is more than enough than anyone could ever need. Installation went very smoothly. Flash Bios feature worked great to update to latest Bios version. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

100% compatible with a ROG Hero XII motherboard.!!

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'm using it on a Gigabyte Z790 Aero G with Phantom Spirit 120 air cooler, and the temps are very reasonable. I did install a contact frame with the cooler, and in the BIOS I'm running it at spec enhanced, to limit the watts to Intel's spec. The temps stay under 80C with 2 P-cores hitting 6Ghz and the rest at 5.7. If I set to optimized in BIOS the watts draw goes up to 315 watts and the temps go to 95C, but 2 p-cores will run at 6.1 GHz and the others at 5.8. For my purposes I'll take the lower temps and watts. In use it rarely draws more than 150 watts and usually stays below 50C. I'm using an old Antec Sonata case with only two case fans.

The ROG Strix Z790-E is an outstanding motherboard! I installed an i9-13900K and 64GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, along with an ASUS TUF-Gaming RTX 4090 OC, and two Samsung 990 Pro NVME drives. This is the FASTEST performance system I have ever built in 35+ years of building PCs. I am a dedicated ASUS customer and fan. MANY options on this motherboard as well!

Previously I used ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E, I upgraded to Z790-E, this motherboard I love that it has 12 USB ports, it is enough for my use, I love it.

So far so good, upgrading from Z790 Hero. I wanted the Gen5 M.2 and like the updated RGB and the memory support for 8000Mt/s ... currently running Skill at 8000 with 14900K

ROG delivers again with the 790! Bios configuration is easy, set up is easy. The board had plenty of IO to satisfy even the most demanding gaming use like Sim racing.

I love my ROG STRIX Z690-E. The BIOS is pretty simple. Its a sharp looking motherboard. The RGB makes this motherboard really pop.
