This is a great board with many features. Works really well if you pair with ROG AIO cooler and case etc.
Super easy to customise and overclock with. Intel 12900KS out of the box with AI overclock turned on, pushed it straight to 5.7GHZ and i'm sure manually tweaking will take it further.
The board has plenty of accessories with it, and supports m.2 if you want (in raid if you really want). The LCD colour and effect is customisable, as is the option to turn it off on standby. Wifi 6 (even if you don't have a wifi 6 router) is very very quick.
I only had one issue with a new build. I couldn't get any display on first boot from onboard (7F error), or even when i added an external GPU. I ended up flashing the bios to the latest version (super easy on this board without a display) and got into the bios and was away with OS install.
I think maybe this was because the default on the bios is to halt until f1 in error. Which meant with the new hardware it might have been waiting for that. (Guessing as after the bios and I did get video output and warning me to press F1 to confirm processor change). So if you get stuck on first boot with no video, try F1 as it might save a bios flash :)
Fantastic Motherboard!

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.
