Review on ASUS ROG Maximus XII Motherboard by Zack Frazier

Revainrating 2 out of 5

ASUS ROG Maximus XII Apex – Z490 – LGA 1200

ASUS ROG Maximus XII Apex - Z490 - LGA 1200This is the maximum speed in PCI Express 3.0 slots 0 / 4x with two cards: 8x / 8x / 08x / 0 / 4x0 / 8x / 4x with three cards: 8x / 4x / 4x or for use as a workstation. Another fact is that this motherboard is designed for overclocking, that's why it's so expensive, it's not for general users. Only buy this motherboard if you are experimenting with your computer or do not intend to tweak it and change values that certain system components operate on. .

Pros
  • Superior thermal design: VRM heatsink and C-shaped heat pipes, chipset and heatsink with M.2 slots, solid steel backplate, multiple fan headers, AI cooling to balance temperature and Acoustics by reducing fan speed and maintaining a delta of 5 degrees Celsius
Cons
  • Hard to say
