    4 stars out of 5

    The ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero Wi-Fi is a high end motherboard [...] with an efficient passive cooling solution, a very complete connectivity and nice sounding audio solution. Software is also very good [...] Armoury Crate is becoming more and more complete.

    Silver Award

    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.

    It's good and optimized hardware though that appeals to a rather specific demographics of even our end-user and reader base.

    The Hero is very thick, with components that are worthy of this price segment, and is also nice and complete in terms of connections without any significant pain points.

    With the 10th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, you will have to get a new motherboard. You get a new LGA 1200 socket, more cores in them and consequently higher power demands, so the motherboards designed to support the 10th Gen Intel Core “Comet Lake-S” processors are also relatively beefy. So beefy that even the lowest-end ROG Maximus XII Hero (WiFi) sports a power delivery system that walks all over the flagship ROG Maximus XI Extreme. Interested already? Well, here we go.

    Digit Zero1 Runner-up

    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

    ASUS left nothing to chance and its ROG MAXIMUS XII HERO is one of the best motherboards on the Z490 platform. In my opinion, it is the most universal board that ASUS has within the Z490 platform. It is well made, equipped and tuned with a fully corresponding price. Great universal motherboard.
