...the ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero is a beast of a Z690 motherboard.

Tech Critter Gold

The ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero is among the Z690 chipset motherboards announced by ASUS for the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors, with support for the latest PCIe 5.0 standard and DDR5 memory modules. This time, we’ll be taking a closer look at what kind of features and performance you can expect from this motherboard.

Pokdeward Silver

It is quite surprising that Intel decided to unveil the 12th Gen Intel Core processors so soon, considering that they just announced the 11th Gen Intel Core lineup earlier this year. But while the short gap between the 11th Gen and 12th Gen might make you think that it is a mere refresh, the reality is that it is everything but that. Let’s go over the architecture briefly, before we get to the actual review.—

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.

Editor's Choice

Especially the colored screens called "Polymo Lighting" on the mosfet and chipset coolers reveal a really stylish image.

High Performance

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.

Innovative Design

I think there is a wonderful thing called Q Release on the motherboard, when you press it, it unlocks the first PCI Express slot.

Editor's Choice

For the most powerful processors, for which this class of boards is, the Maximus Z690 Hero is one of the technically best options.

Thumb Up

Maximum performance, extreme overclocking capabilities and a host of advanced features - that's the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard in a nutshell. It is a motherboard designed for the most demanding enthusiasts and overclockers.

Overclocker's Heaven

The board as such has great equipment in terms of ports and especially various features for clockers, there are really a lot of options in the BIOS, while pleasing the little things like the button to release the primary PCIe card. I primarily look at this board as a special hi-end for clockers, I probably wouldn't buy it for my home PC, but it's great for some record-breaking and OC games.

DD´s Recommended

At the moment, except for the LAN and the price, the new ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO board has met expectations in every way, especially the new details for us testers are handy and ASUS obviously knows its users and customers. So if you want a proper but not yet extreme board, but with everything for your games (with processors and DDR5), and money or efficiency and consumption do not matter for you, this is an excellent choice.

Top-notch

For the most powerful processors, for which this class of boards is, the Maximus Z690 Hero is one of the technically best options.

Bug recommended

The Maximus Hero model in the ROG offer of boards based on the Z690 chipset takes a place below the white armored Formula and the overclocker-minded Maximus Extreme model.

Silver award

Great board for the money invested.
