The price is relatively worthy.

While the MAXIMUS XII EXTREME was an E-ATX motherboard with all the bells and whistles, the MAXIMUS XII HERO is an ATX board with a few features scaled down to make this a balanced board provides nearly as many features as the MAXIMUS XII Extreme at two-thirds the price. It uses the same ASP14051 VRM controller in a 7+1 mode with 14x TDA21462 60A power stages which are run in the same split configuration. In benchmarks, you can hardly see any difference in real-world applications between the two

AI Overclocking is a very neat feature introduced in Z390, also all AI features have been improved on this generation. This is a very interesting feature because it will analyze the pc to adapt to real usage scenarios. By measuring the cooling efficiency, we simply need to use the pc for a while before activating the Smart AI function.
