    I could not figure out if it was the mobo, the case or my hands but I swear the screws just did not line up and required more force than I expected. No complaints otherwise.

    I can get a 7700k to 5ghz so I guess it good. Wish it had more M.2 slots.

    Very pricey but also loaded with features. Excellent build quality and BIOS is easy to understand, well-organized, and the BIOS-update over network feature is super nice to have.

    I always wanted a ROG Maximus board and while the performance isn’t significantly different from the competitors, I definitely like it over my Gigabyte, MSI, Bioshock and basic ASUS boards I have had in the past. The bios is really what helps it stand out. Looks help too.

    Instructions are very easy to follow and understand. Easy to install and very easy to update. Navigation in the BIOS is super easy.

    The ASUS software provides many options for tuning the system - a big plus since I have no experience with over clocking.

    I have always loved this MOBO. I even forgo-ed my decision to change to Ryzen next year just to get this. I know they have an AM4 version of Hero as well, but I heard this overclocks (future 7700K) like a champ. Oh, whenever I look inside my case, I get a boner as well! :p

    First ASUS motherboard and I really like it. Tuning works well and the Bios UI functions much better than my previous boards.
