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 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.

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.

The motherboard looks great and has impressive specs. Unfortunately it is very unstable despite tweaking the xmp profile to match various types of ddr5 corsair ram. Was eventually able to get stable enough to boot but then the nvidia 3080ti driver was causing the system to crash as soon as you open a browser window. The gpu began overheating just trying to run windows 10. The latest bios update seemed to smooth out the ram but not resolve it. The gpu then created a bsod error at which point I gave up and returned the motherboard. Currently waiting on refund so I can find a more stable option. I think asus needs to refine their high end mobo before releasing to the wild at this price point. Save your money and buy something else until they get their bios sorted out on this one. Also, numerous bent pins. There is a subreddit forum on the topic of this issue.

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.

Incredible motherboard to say the least. This thing packs a lot of power. But do note that of you use all 4 slots and enable xmp it will not work. Either the system freezes or halts before loading. You can read more on reddit but any ddr5 that you get that says xmp 3.0 ready might not work with this mobo. At least until a newer firmware comes out.

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

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.

I had all sorts of issues with 128GB of ram initially, but eventually got it all working.

Went to windows all fine but.... I dont recommend flashing the bios. It bricked the motherboard with a permanent q-26 error number. Reset the CMOS in every way 20 times making no difference. Than customer service told me other customers are having the same issue. I did a replacement without flashing the bios and things are fine. Other than that, great motherboard as usual

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