Review: ASUS Republic Of Gamers Maximus X Apex

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/07/2017 11:16 AM | source: | 10 comment(s)

We review the lovely looking ASUS ROG Maximus X Apex motherboard. A € 349,- costing Z370 motherboard style for the high-end PC crowd. It has distinctive looks, PCB cutouts and some of the most spectacular looks thanks to a very sophisticated RGB LED system.

Check out the full review here.

This board ticks so many right boxes but then only had two dimm slots? i understand dual channel is often the best for this chipset, but it also removes the chances for many people later down the line to upgrade to more storage without taking out the ones they already had installed. seems like an odd move. same with Sata, unless they are just going for the high end market? thinking the people buying it would only get a 4TB SSD and use the M.2s with 32GB Dimm rams... but who knows, it's a strange one at that.

Love the 5G Lan jack, shame England is still nowhere near using the 1G lan let alone 5G :D but its nice to see them finally be put on motherboards even if it is only the high end ones right now

According to some other reviews RMAA results are bellow ROG standards. True, that is still above transparency requirements, but it rubs me the wrong way. APEX should be The High End of the high end.

About 11AD and 60GHz. Is there any research required by some governing body in regards to health consequences?

Haha I have 0 interest in this product, but I came here because the Guru3D in the article thumbnail caught my eye. Depending how the logo was cut, I'm sure the font you use might've been a problem for them. The tail from the "g" is really close to the loop. Milling might've caused that piece to bend or snap off, and laser cutting might've warped it (not too much room for heat to escape).

I guess it's the thought that counts. At least we all know your reviews aren't influenced by such things.
