A more than complete connectivity

Editor's Choice

So you would almost think that this is a better deal than the Hero, you get a lot more, pay hardly more and especially if you can appreciate that white design, this is just extremely beautiful.

9.4/10 Overall Rating

Overall, the ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Formula strikes every premium feature that you could ask for as an enthusiast or overclocker without the unnecessary gimmicks and accessories to justify its large asking price. The comeback of the Formula model is a much-welcomed one with improvements made in all aspects from aesthetics, build quality, performance, connectivity, and user-friendliness.
