Product Showcase

The motherboard follows a standard ATX form factor (30.5 x 24.4cm). The motherboard is located in the ROG high-end range of the desktop processor product stack. 

Size ATX
Chipset Intel Z390
Memory 4 x DDR4 up to 4400+(OC)
Multi-GPU CrossFireX, 2 x SLI
Expansion PCIe 3.0 x16 (CPU): 2 (x16/x0, x8/x8)
PCIe32.0 x16 (Chipset): 1 (up to x4)
PCIe 2.0 x1 (Chipset): 3
Storage 2 x M.2 (NVMe x4 or SATA 6Gbps)
6 x SATA 6Gbps
Networking Intel Gigabit Ethernet
2x2 AC Wi-Fi
Audio SupremeFX S1220
USB 3.1: Gen1 x2
3.1: Gen2 x4
2.0:6x
Aura yes


With the Z390 board ASUS outs a high-end class product, it has plentiful enough features to keep you busy for a while. The hero series have been upgraded from a visual point of view. The HERO has been fitted with AURA LED RGB activity available, all were kept subtle and can be configured on/off/animated and RGB colored. The primary graphics slots have metal shielding.

 


 

The I/O back panel reveals 3.1/3.0/2.0 ports. The audio unit has special noise-reducing capacitors and shielding on top of that Realtek chip (rebadged as ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220). You will spot one 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet jack (unfortunately ASUS did not opt the new 2.5 Gbps Realtek NIC. Lacking is a PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo port. Included are optical S/PDIF out port and five analog audio jacks.

  

 


Included with the motherboard are the regulars including; manuals, driver CDs, SATA cables and a rear I/O plate. We received the WIFI version, and you probably guessed it, it has WIFI, 2x2 AC which is nice. 

 

The board has 3 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots which can be arranged in these slot configurations with graphics cards:

  • 1-way mode - x16 / x0 / x4
  • 2-way mode - x8 / x8 / x0
  • 3-way mode - x8 / x8 / x4

As you can see, these are PCI Express Gen 3.0 configurations, that's okay for regular graphics card setups up-to 2-way SLI/Crossfire. The motherboard comes with an 8-pin and extra 6-pin power connector. You'll get four DIMM slots that can be used for dual-channel memory. Up-to 4400+ MHz supported in OC mode. Please do check compatible memory and thus the QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).

The company is not so much known from their PSUs (as they’re rather associated with the motherboards, graphic cards, monitors, or peripherals). Still, we had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?
