Why doesn’t the Crosshair Hero have an Extreme version like the Z890 Maximus counterpart? No 10Gb Ethernet or big 5” LCD?

[paulomarf]

Too expensive, Crosshair 699$? Can get a Taichi for less than 500$.

I absolutely love the X670E Crosshair Hero... has everything i could possibly evrr need. No complaints.

[fuedlibumser]

With the Crosshair Hero, two M.2 slots are useless if you want to use the full 16 lanes for the graphics card. So you can only use one M.2 Pci-E 5.0 and two M.2 Pci-E 4.0!

[---GOD---]

You charge entirely too much for these boards. Nearly every board should be reduced by $100-$200.

Owner of Z690 Extension Glacial here. 2000€ motherboard. Burnt a capacitor or something after almost 3 years, barely still in Warranty. RMAd it and got it back with the repair note mentioning they changed a capacitor, foam (?) and updated the bios (?). Installed the mobo and it still won't power up for more than 0.5 sec. Tried 2 PSUs and nothing connected to the mobo, it doesn't even check if RAM exists

After more than 20 years of beeing an Asus customer (my first Asus mobo was an Asus CUSL2 for PIII) and after the latest expriences with Asus in the last 7-8 years, after the latest super expensive (1200€) Z690 Extreme motherborad, I would never install an Asus mobo on my computer even if you give it me for free. Your lack of quality assurance and your customer service is the reason why stay far away from Asus. Bells and whistles for crappy products, this is Asus.

I love your motherboards I'm trying to find a new one right now I'm in between x670e-f or x870e-f

[giovanyrico]

A new version of ROG Z11? More space for mini itx 4080 super :(

[rayku]

Ive been trying to see the customization of that screen on the hero but seems impossible, its like a taboo that no one shows. Thats cuz that giant ROG is awful. As a big fan of ROG my pc has been full ROG for years but idk whats happening with designs lately, i hate them

[kashv]

Did they just not make any MB that support Intel CPUs?

[darkcggaming]

Nice motherboard, but your bad support prevents me from buying any product from Asus ever again. A swollen battery inside a ROG Falchion keyboard and they can't even tell me which f**cking model of the battery I should buy to replace it.

[fffhunter]

Asus meant quality in the past
Its failing the last few years - Its like EA of hardware

[simplysimon]

you forgot to say they make decent gear but when they go wrong, and they do, enjoy the weeks wating for the RMA and then, they send you a second hand repaired product that wasnt yours in the first place. They then charge you for scratches on the failed product which failed when you updated the bios that wasnt your fault. Never buying a Asus mob ever again. MSI much better customer support, bios and use. ROG stands for Really Overpriced Gear

[Pertruck_KE]

why is there no proper representation or data on lane sharing

[lKurosakil]

Bought the Crosshair X670E Extreme for 1100€ and I have only trouble with this board.
You are forced to use Armoury Crate for the displays on it but guess what? Armoury Crate is a buggy bloatware which is even resulting in reboot errors when installed.
As soon as you uninstall it everything is fine but guess what? the displays are useless when it is not installed
1100€ board where half of the features do not work - I am so done with ASUS after being a loyal customer for 15 years

[facegamefps]

Z890 Apex is only one I get. AMD boards are waste. No gain

[WooBino.]

These MOBO's are gaudy and just ugly...who would want a HUGE ...TUF staring them in the face?

[newani]

How do you remove a GPU when it's in a case? I suspect you'll have to take the motherboard out, and then remove the GPU. Waiting for reviews from real users.

[HI-Creal]

Asus PLEASE give me a montior (or a pc)
