Gaming's top 16 most famous heroes star in our ode to the greatest video game stars of all time from Mario to Solid Snake, Link, Lara Croft, and more. Which hero do you worship?

ROG Maximus VIII Hero is here to save humankind from bad gaming experience, and it will do it in style. See it in detail here!

It's not cheating, you are simply using ROG.

Predominately ROG engineers research performance orientated designs: Extreme Engine, OC Tools, LN2 modes, extensive BIOS tweaks etc, but aesthetics still factor highly in our fan's purchasing decisions. The black and red livery is synonymous to the brand, and ROG has always championed an aspiring design to reflect its performance leadership. This is where the idea to 'ink' the PCB came from, but getting there wasn't easy.

Fancy a free keyboard upgrade? KeyBot is a custom designed hardware IC included on on all ROG Maximus VII motherboards. It means any regular USB gaming keyboard can activate some of the special functions of ROG motherboards, perform key macros and multimedia functions. Read inside to see the full details of this exclusive new tech.

Despite our Maximus VI Formula having the best pre-fitted (hybrid) waterblocks of all Z87 motherboards, we're in full support of EK, who has again chosen to provide a range of full-cover blocks for the entire Maximus VI range - including the mini-ITX Impact - which we're extremely excited to see how it turns out.
