8 out of 10

We have already taken a look at two other Intel Z490 boards in our earlier reviews, and one thing that we noted was that the board prices have gradually increased over the years. The ROG Maximus XII Hero (WiFi) costs more than the ROG Maximus XI Formula did back in the day, so you can safely expect the ROG Maximus XII Formula to cost even more. If you have the moolah for it, the ROG Maximus XII Formula will give you more than you will ever need on a motherboard. Intrigued? Well, here we go.
