At 2:13, its Z790-A not Z790-E. Z790-E boards are always black and A boards are always white. And it also says that on the board.

[TR-]

2:50 ohhhh thats what the dots were supposed to be. Ive been looking at the thing they released and it kept looking like some empty missing port or some window you remove..but now its clear

hero doesn't have m.2. 5.0 nvme on the board, its added as a card. He mixed up also the strix-a ddr4 white board with the strix-e. The specs are literally on the placards below. I think pc world could have done a lot better here on the reporting

Imagine if you had taken one more step to the right, you could have captured a mini-itx board!

The lack of usb in these motherboard annoy me so much. Like Both My old Z77 and Z590 motherboard has more USB ports than that

[tek_soup]

The Maximus Extreme has the 10GBE and dual Thunderbolt 4 and all the bells and whistles.

I can't find any Video review for the Rog Strix Z790-H can you do one ?

[Kline]

Correction here, the Z790 Maximus Hero can only support a gen 5 ssd on the hyper card and when it is connected to PCIE #2 slot. Not on the top m.2_1 slot.

[djsdavid]

so which one will just be better for gaming?? TUFF one??? or hero???

[deviouslaw]

Looks cool, I want to see MSI's offering.

[JayzBeerz]

Can you explain what the E and A represent in the board name? Not one person on youtube ever explains this.

[jamakasis]

Very nice
Time tested, proven and cheaper z690 for me tho xD

[BrokenArrowX]

A LOT of misinformation in this video.

[JuanDiaz-jorw]

So, which one do I need to overclock the 15 3600k? All I heard was Toyota Corolla lol.

[huichoable]

Probably gonna pick up the Hero for my pc upgrade so excited

third mobo has giant backlit clear CMOS button. i understand the need for giant flashing lights from marketing perspective but clear CMOS button should be behind a tiny pinhole so it doesn't get pressed unless you really mean it. it really makes me question how much of that motherboard was designed by the marketing department. probably all of it.

[itsdeonlol]

The ASUS TUF is the one I would go with!

[JayzBeerz]

Prime is the lowest model board not the Tuf gaming.

[codewarrior]

ROG Maximus and ROG Prime are pure lexury those two motherboards are high quality to the max. The TUF gaming and ROG STIX are great too thumbs up. 👍

Please answer publicly if we have a graphics card that works x 16, does the motherboard have the ability to support SSDs via the PCIE 5.0 port? - there isn't!!! because the Hyper M.2 card works in 5.0 mode only in the 2nd PICE slot, and when there is any card in this slot, the PCIE support for port 1, i.e. the one with the graphics card, drops from x16 to x8 !!!
