Fantastic Motherboard!

by David star star star star star

I've used the Maximus Hero range for years and this latest edition has not let me down. Excellent audio (hardware USB Dac, Amp), fantastic BIOS for overlclocking, tuning. Plenty of storage options. Included M.2 Hyper card allow for PCIEv5 SSD's when they launch next year, this is in addition to two gen4 ports on the actual board.The visual aesthetic additions are fantastic, the Rog/Hero logo that illuminates over the rear IO shield is absolutely fantatic and will really set off your build.I've used the Maximus Hero range for years and this latest edition has not let me down.
