Review: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero

For this article the turn goes to ASUS as they just released the ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero which we review. The Hero is a bit more budget friendly, yet has that ROG flavor, and that can only mean good stuff. It has great looks and all the features you probably seek for a Z370 motherboard.

Read the review right here.

I think the ROG boards are overrated.

ASUS is like buying a mercedes over a honda(gigabyte).
Of course not that extreme of a difference but still.

Gigabyte BIOS layout IMO is just sh1t compared to ASUS.
ROG boards have the best OC potential, especially RAM oc.

Top end ROG boards are expensive plus have a lot of unused features usually for me.
That's why I'd go with the middle ground ASUS board.

I have found CPU ocing doesnt make any difference when using ASUS Z series boards. I will take the ASUS signature series all day long. Its cheaper and for gaming RAM OCing doesnt make any difference. THe only thing you have is saying you have a ROG board which is kinda shallow considering they aren't better in performance.

No i don't have an ROG board.

I have personally seen a similar ASUS Z97 over gigabyte board, asus had much better OC ability for Dram and CPU cache.
Core clock not much difference but was able to lower core voltage a good bit.

I didn't say ROG was better performer over middle ground ASUS boards; just that tweak-ability for the extreme side of users is much better.
For general use it's a waste of money.
