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.

There's even more to come at Computex in early June, but today we do have three new ROG Z97 boards: the Maximus VII Hero, Maximus VII Gene and the new brand: Maximus VII Ranger. Hero and Gene follow existing series' target markets for an ideal ratio of price-performance-unique features for gamers in ATX and micro ATX, whereas Ranger is an high performance ROG product with entry-level features aimed at select markets.
