ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero review 3

We turn back to the ASUS table where we review the ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero. A board in the Maximus series that is slightly more affordable yet offers some of the best premium features this platform has got to offer.

A board in the Maximus series that is slightly more affordable yet offers some of the best premium features this platform ...@ £429.95 is not cheap when i look into my wallet i will stay with my Z370 and 8700k RTX 2080 for some time to come i think

I don't think the VRM temperature test for Asus Hero and Gigabyte Master are reliable and to be trusted in comparison to other boards, e.g. MSI Ace or ASRock Taichi. The thermal pictures for Hero nad Master were taken at an angle, effectively exposing more of what's under the heatsinks. Moreover, their pictures were taken at a closer distance. Just take a look:


ASRock Taichi - flat, far - 58C https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=60749
MSI Ace - flat, far - 59C - https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=60702

Gigabyte Master - angle, closeup - 64C - https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=60657
Asus Hero - angle, closeup - 74C - https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=60579


The VRM temperature test should be performed in a normalized way across all tests - especially the distance from the motherboard and the angle.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Would it be possible to retest the temperatures? Thanks in advance!

The VRM temperatures you see listed in the chart are not based upon the thermal image, but the max temp reported by the thermal sensor at the VRM stage.

The thermal image is there for visualization of heat bleed, not measurement as most part of the VRM is covered by heatsinks. And yes, the angle has been changed and I am moving towards a top view.

Am I being blind or is there no mention of the VRM power phases?
