ASUS is traditionally well represented in the high-end segment.
...it brings two Thunderbolt 4 ports to this segment, which was pretty rare to see before.
CPU review with MB exposure
We got our hands on the new 12th Gen Intel motherboard with the Z690 chipset! The new ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard now features a new socket with a new installation mechanism, a lot of new features like the Q-Release button (thank you) and also DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5!
The ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard is officially launched. New chip, new motherboard. Let Christina take you on a tour to find out what's new!
Special Thanks to ASUS ROG Malaysia & Intel for their sponsorship

For some reason, I got a Core i9-12900K from ASUS. I also got an 80,000 yen motherboard.

ASUS has made two nice innovations here, including screwless, flip M.2 mounting and a GPU latch release button that you can press when you can't reach the lock to remove the graphics card.
The most beautiful plus in terms of design is the Polymo Lighting screen used in the new series. This screen, where mini patterns are created with various colors, highlights the design on its own.
I think there is a wonderful thing called Q Release on the motherboard, when you press it, it unlocks the first PCI Express slot.
Especially the colored screens called "Polymo Lighting" on the mosfet and chipset coolers reveal a really stylish image.
Congratulations to ASUS, after Q latch, they added PCI Express latch (Q Release), they are improving more and more every day.
TUF Gaming B660-Plus WiFi meets the needs of the new generation. The motherboard did not forget to add PCIe 5.0 support, which comes with 12th generation Intel processors.
This motherboard is a beast!
One of the best motherboards for the new Intel 12 Gen plataform.
Very good performance
In the role of the motherboard - a magnificent ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero, with the wildest cool power system, support for PCIe 5.0, three M.2 drives and a huge heatsink, and even with RGB backlight on top!
The new motherboards are supported by DDR4 and DDR5 - I have both options. But we will leave the comparison of motherboards for separate videos.
In my opinion, this is a gaming PC for 2022 with top parameters, top hardware, which demonstrates simply phenomenal results.
Here is a complete "stuffing" - top components, PCI-Ex 5.0 and support for DDR5

Maherco Assembly #1: New Game 2022
A strong, strong assembly for games, all pieces of Asus
from first sight, you do not need a lot of time to know the quality of the "Hero" model from ASUS with 20+1 power stages, a lot of new Features from ASUS with 5 slots for the m.2 Gen 4 and 1 PCI-E Gen 5 M.2 Raid Card and a very distinct cooling for the power circuit and m.2 storage units I can’t wait for my first Performance test on this beast
I was very impressed by ASUS’s thinking about the comfortability of users and their innovation of PCIe Q-Release button and the ASUS m.2 Q-Latch
Best in class for new generation!
Best board for i9 12900k with DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5!
Video review from the channel konsumer
To make the test even better, I added an even more powerful ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO motherboard and of course the same Kingston DDR5 RAM, as well as the Kingston KC3000 SSD.
Finally Intel 12th Gen Core Series CPUs and matching Z690 Motherboards are available and I can't imagine a much better 1st time experience with the platform than on the ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO (Well, maybe I can, on the ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX :) )
