Rog Maximus Z790 Hero Drivers

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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 got this headset a while ago to replace my old headset that broke. One feature that stood out to me was the inclusion of quad DAC system built directly into the headphones, as it was the first pair I've seen to include a DAC inside the unit itself. I also really like the 50mm Essence drivers in the earcups. I can distinguish between the more trebly sounds and the bass sounds much easier. This along with the inclusion of 7.1 surround tremendously helps me while gaming as I can pinpoint the location of players shooting, moving, or reloading. The usage of USB-C is also nice as it makes it easier to use the headset with my phone without the need of a pesky adapter or dongle. The last thing that made me really happy is the ROG Hybrid ear cushions. As much as the smooth leather cushions are smooth and comfortable, I find leather to get hot and sweaty as it blocks airflow which is not good for long sessions of music listening or gaming. The ROG Hybrid cushions fix that by having a breathable fabric mesh on the outside and smooth leather on the inside so they don't rub your ears raw. Overall, the Asus ROG Delta is a versatile headset that can be used across many platforms and features excellent sound quality and comfort. With the Essence drivers and ESS9218 quad DAC being as powerful as they are I also found the headset to be quite decent for listening to music with. One criticism I have is with the Armory Crate software, every time I start up my computer I have to reactivate the Aura Sync lighting. The software also is a bit sluggish with delays loading pages and adjustments to the audio profiles. While these problems can be annoying at least they don't detract from the quality of the physical headset.

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