Отзывы о Материнская плата ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO

Amazing Gorgeous Board. Well finished. Solid bios. Great wifi. A++++++

Just Do It!

This is my second Maximus Hero motherboard. I'm very happy with it. It's great for gaming and anything else.

Nice board easy to use could use more USB 9 pin but excellent board.

Expensive but great MB for OC and fan control

Received an defective board. Returning...

Great motherboard! Had to return the first one because I was sent used junk. Amazon quickly shipped the replacement.

Great MB but expensive

Wowwwww

Good water cooling features which I plan to use in the near future

Great product, right price

My first attempt at building with this board failed due to a manufacturing defect. A thermal sensor on the board was apparently faulty, causing the processor (10700K) to throttle to 800MHz (look up "BD PROCHOT" for more information on the problem). Boot up or trying to enter BIOS took 5-10 minutes, and the processor could only be un-throttled using third-party software once Windows loaded. The system was also generally unstable at this point, so maybe there were additional issues beyond the sensor.

Second attempt at building with this board seems to be working as intended. The OC on my processor is pretty mediocre relative to the voltage I'm sending it (Prime 95-stable 5.0GHz all core @1.35 Vcore), but I probably just lost the silicon lottery. Not an expert OCer by any means, so maybe other operator error, as well.

The savior of this entire transaction was Amazon's exchange policy. I requested a new board on a Sunday, and it arrived to me two days later without me even having to send the defective board back first. This obviously saved a ton of time relative to an RMA, and made the process of replacing the first board with the second one a lot simpler. I didn't have to worry about removing cables and other accessories that came with the board from my build and repackaging them to send back, which would have made an already obnoxious process much worse.

Two stars off for the defective original board. I’ve been a loyal customer of Asus motherboards for all of my past builds, but will probably assess other options next time. Needless to say, it’s frustrating spending $400 for a board that doesn’t work after hours of putting everything together.

Five stars for amazon's exchange policy. I don't think I will ever order any major PC components from another retailer in the future.

If u guys use ethernet cables to play video games it has a 5g ethernet plug which gives u 0 ping in fortnite. its definetly worth the price. My only problem is the money I threw away for a motherboard lol.

Got this motherboard after going through 2 gigabyte motherboards with a very annoying, loud and painful high pitched coil whine coming from the VRMs. This is a fairly common issue with motherboards that push a lot of power to the CPU but this one runs quiet. Very happy with the performance so far and absolutely worth the premium over the gigabyte boards. My PC configuration also uses corsair commander pro to control all lighting and fans so the aura integration with Corsair's iCue is a very welcome bonus.

Pros:
Good look
INSANE amount of options and controls in the bios (Seriously, you can spend hours in the bios and still be looking up what some things do)
Good power delivery without being loud
Good layout (very important since some manufacturers will put sata or usb or other connectors in weird places)

Cons: (more like nitpicks)
The amount of crap you have to take off the motherboard to install the m.2 drives is honestly a little unsettling. First remove GPU (if installed) then the chipset cooler cover has to come off, THEN the m.2 slot covers come off.
The onboard power/ reset buttons light up bright white and cannot be turned off. SUPER ANNOYING
For $400, a back plate would have been appreciated (Like the Formula)

If you want to build your Gaming PC with nearly zero compromises, this is the motherboard to purchase. The more expensive boards in the ROG Maximus line don't offer much more useful gaming-oriented features, while costing much more. This motherboard offers the best feature set for the price for serious gamers.

Very nice!

Love the look of the board. Its insane because it has this OLED screen that displays CPU Temps and has flashy animations while the computer is off. The Aura glow is throughout the board. However, I really bought this board not for the looks but for the function of the EK waterblocks for the VRM. Yes you can use this board without filling or touching the VRM waterblocks but my intention of the board was to put it in a freezer and route all my water tubing to a aquarium chiller. By removing the heat from the VRMs, I have put less stress on the freezer compressor. I have owned a hero in the Z490 chipset and it is definitely a good upgrade from the hero. 100$ more is acceptable markup for waterblocks for the VRM and that fancy OLED display. Whats interesting is the two 16x PCIe GPU slots. Most motherboards drop from 16->8->4. This is 16x->16x->4X which i've never seen before. Anyways no flaws that i can see with this board. Give it a go if you intend to make a sub ambient setup.

Box arrived a bit damaged but i wanted to take my chances. Packaging was a bit loose.. Seemed like some screws were missing as well.

i paired this with a 10900k, evga 2080ti ultra ftw3 hybrid

was stuck on a boot loop initially and was not posting..

i was only able to get it to post when unplugging my mouse, keyboard, network adapter etc.. at first.. with a 1200w EVGA P2 PSU.. and unplugging all other sata drives/devices

changed to a Corsair RM750x to test if it would work.. and it did except I couldn't use the thunderbolt expansion that came with this card.. so i changed to a 1000w rmx psu.. still unable to use the thunderbolt expansion but can run my other drives..

but now, in addition to the issues mentioned, each boot.. something would power off or not be detected.

i was probably unlucky though.

after 10 yrs of building pcs I've never seen how asus gets away with building boards that just screw everything up and claim to be better.i am stuck with a 400 dollar paperweight. This is not the first but the last asus anything I buy.stay clear from this one.(armory crate).thats the problem.do not install it until they fix it if ever.look it up and you will find an assortment of problems this program causes.the board itself..pretty good

I bought my first edition of this board, had everything installed nicely, started it up and it began my nightmare, "A2" error. Called ASUS tech support and spoke to a wonderful Indian gentleman who informed me that the motherboard must be defective, and they would be happy to RMA it and fix it and give it back or replace it entirely. As I was under Amazon's wonderful warranty program, I replaced it for a new board. I set it up, and, again, the "A2" error on the second board.

At this time, I gave it to a local tech shop and they, too, could not figure out WTF was wrong with the setup.

Returned the second board, as well as the CPU, Memory (which is on the QVL), and the M2 (which is also on the QVL). Got entirely different CPU, same memory, same M2.

Installed everything a 3rd time. GUESS WHAT? A2 Error.

I am beyond frustrated at this point, and this will be the last PC I ever build (after 20+ years of building them, I've had enough). Just got off the phone with another wonderful Indian gentleman who informed me there are no American tech support agents, because I couldn't understand WTF he was saying 9 times out of 10 -- just what you want to hear when you spend OVER SEVEN HUNDRED EFFIN DOLLARS ON A EFFIN MOTHERBOARD.

This is the last ASUS product I ever buy. I can't wait til Corsair starts making high end motherboards and wipes the floor with these losers. Horrible product, horrible experience, NEVER BUY ASUS.

Really should have MORE for the price.
I just replaced an Asus Z97-A legacy with this board in a new build. I'd buy Asus for Quality and this is great board, but for the price - it really needs more.

They've placed the 20 PIN USB 3.0 port at the front of the board, and those using a full size card will often block access to that port. While Asus anticipated this issue and made the connecter horizontal instead of vertical, the bulky adapter sometimes is cumbersome to get in, thus resorting to purchasing the newer front panel connector this board supports, but it should have been included.

Removing 10 screws just to mount a single M2 module is a bit ridiculous. Once you get the board placed and mounted in the case, if you mount a top fan, the ARgb Headers and CPU fan connectors are VERY CUMBERSOME to get to.

Flex and other buttons on motherboard are useless for most and would much prefer a switch option or a front panel connector for such. While I imagine this is an enthusiast board - I still believe price vs features is unbalanced.

This board is great paired with my 10900K, I can do 5.1GHz on all cores with it. It has a full 16 power phase! This board worked right out of the box as well, no issues with it. If you own a Corsair keyboard though keep in mind that you need to enable BIOS mode on your keyboard to get into the BIOS. Also to turn off the LED's when the computer is off you need to go through Armoury Crate to disable them down to the firmware level. This board makes my CPU run very cool at about 40C on average for such a high overclock. Under load it reaches a max of 65C which is amazing for so many cores. I paired it with an H115i RGB Platinum AIO Cooler. Box is very well presented. This board also comes with bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It's also great that it comes with EK Water Blocks capability right out of the box for the VRM modules, you can make a custom water loop if you wish and cool the VRM's while you're at it. When you get the board make sure you check the BIOS to ensure it is updated to the latest version. This board I am using it primarily for Flight Simulation and coding and for other games. I have purchased it for the long awaited Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 that will come out shortly this year. Once the RTX 3090's appear on the market, this board, 10900K and GPU combo will be unstoppable for at least 5 years. Overall, amazing board, get it!!

First board arrived with oily stains visible on the extended VRM heatsink,s which were supposedly a result of excessive silicon glue during a sloppy installation of the connected gaspipe sandwiched between the finstacks. I made repeated attempts to clean it best I could with 99% anhydrous isopropyl with minimal indication for improvement, so I reached out online via the ASUS ROG forums enthusiast & overclocking community where the general consensus agreed that I should return or exchange the board because of the unfortunate reputation ASUS has earned for refuting RMA repair claims predicated on 'user damage' to free them from liability in precarious situations such as mine when, in point of fact, it truly is not user damage and ASUS are indeed liable for the quality assurance of the product and ethically will be held accountable by myself alone if need be. I know right from wrong when I encounter it in Life, and so I made attempts to contact both ASUS and Amazon by phone over the next several weeks in hopes of a swift and expedient resolution on this $450 problem I had not intended to purchase. Amazon continuously connected me with tragically incompetent Tech Support representatives whom often plainly stated that they did not understand the issue I was describing with the product because a 'stain' does not impact function. Well, I guess the 'Experts' they employ cannot comprehend anyone who is not filthy rich expressing concern surrounding a $450 product with visible signs of manufacturer-induced defects in workmanship, whereas in contrast over at the ASUS customer service circus the trained monkeys they deploy simply instructed me to seek a replacement unit from Amazon. Oh, really? I must have forgot to say the magic word the first 10 calls I placed to Amazon! Or perhaps the philosophy held here is that the customer's always wrong? That's not how the saying goes where I come from, but maybe that's why they did not handle it accordingly. It sincerely felt like neither party wanted to shoulder accountability for this obscenely expensive and visibly DAMAGED product they sold me, nor did they seem to convey any sense of obligation or responsibility to ensure a positive consumer experience for me as a frustrated customer. I was compelled to waste hours of precious free time and call both Amazon and ASUS on multiple occasions and repetitiously ask for assistance over an obvious problem that could and should have been handled expeditiously and painlessly via exchange or return. Asus did eventually offer to ship me an advanced refurbished/repaired unit, but this offer was stipulated and fully contingent on my acceptance of their terms, whereby I was required to place an additional $450 'temporary hold' on my debit/credit card, and naturally of course I would be required to send back the original 'new' board within 2 weeks time or risk being charged. As you may imagine that offer didn't sit very well with me and it didn't invoke much dedicated thought before my refusal came as I later explained to ASUS (like a patient father to his child) that I considered such terms wholly unacceptable given the existing circumstances. The prolonged inconvenience in reaching any terms, and the fact that I was now being asked to pay twice for the manufacturer's error along with receiving a refurbished product in lieu of a new one... Simply ridiculous offer from a multinational company's "Customer Service" Department. Weeks later and after much persistence and wasted time, I eventually broke thru to a competent and caring CS rep at Amazon, but not until after multiple failed efforts to appeal to both companies to 'do the right thing' in this situation. I'll revisit this review someday after an observation period I deem acceptable on the second unit I have received, and perhaps I will feel differently, but my advice for now is to buy a Z490 mainboard from another manufacturer or perhaps, if your heart is set on an Apex, purchase it from a different retailer. I'm not really sure what happened and perhaps my case was a rare anomaly, such as a misfortunate series of events... Perhaps not. On the upside this motherboard is indeed very capable overclocker for daily use in tandem with extreme OC. The BIOS has all the granular overclocking capabilities in that I could ever have hoped for and then some, but my entire customer service experience in getting to this point has been a most bitter pill to swallow.

For most of my life Asus has been my go to for computer equipment. Over the last 5 years their quality and support have really taken a nose dive. I cant think of a single thing I have purchased lately that hasn't had some sort of issue. Their RMA process takes weeks and their tech support might as well just be a google search bar. Motherboard was amazing for the first month then I started getting various post error codes. At first a bios reset or update seemed to fix them and they were just an annoyance. But now the board wont even post. So I contact ASUS and get the standard ASUS support that shows they don't really know anything about their products. Now I'm stuck with an RMA that will take 20+ days plus shipping time.

Great motherboard -- excellent VRMs for overclocking.

One thing to note is to update the BIOS once you have everything set up.
