The purchase brought only positive emotions.

The legendary ASUS ROG MAXIMUS HERO motherboard is back, this time under the "unlucky" number XIII! For me, this number, on thecomntrary, is successful, so away with superstitions and other horoscopes - the mother of the top of the top. On the LGA 1200 socket, only ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME and ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL arecomoler - this is the same extreme, only with watercomoling - extreme is 2 times more expensive, and with dropsy 3 times more expensive))) Despite the fact…

Pros
  • Intel Z590 2 Way SLI 3xPCI-E x16, 1xPCI-E x1 PCI Express 4.0 support 7.1CH HDA Realtek ALC4082 2x2.5 Gbps WiFi 8022022ax Bluetooth 19 usb 2xThunderbolt for external top-end 4K 60 FPS HDR video capture cards optical audio output for serious acoustics CPU power connector - 8-pin + 8-pin is fat
Cons
  • Too high a price of 45 thousand, which I paid precisely because for this review I should be given an ASUS TUF K1 Keyboard for 4500 (10% of the price heh, such a keyboard cashback) The backlight design of ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI seemed prettier to me, but why not take a less perfect motherboard because of a more perfect backlight? )

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

The ASUS TUF Gaming GT301 case now houses a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCI-E 4x, Gigabyte 3060 11700K stone. With this setup, the cooler's height must be no more than 160mm. Therefore, keep it down right away! Forgoing Dark Rock 4 Pro in favor of something "smaller" was a must. When subjected to stress, the CPU tends to overheat and throttle by 7–12%. (installed on MX-4). A trifle, but unpleasant all the same. I intend to upgrade the case's stock rear fan and possibly install a second fan to direct…

Pros
  • The quality of life is excellent. I don’t see the point in writing about the Z590, and everything is so clear. Excellent "mother" made by an excellent producer. Pricey, but reasonable. Plenty of space for everyone, extra WiFi 6, and a lot of other goodies.
Cons
  • Upon attaching the cooler's mounting plate, I noticed a peculiarity: one of the holes for the plate is quite close to the tracks on the board (bottom left, adjacent to the first M2 socket). It seems possible to grind the screw pad and cause a short in the tracks while tightening the rack. Amazingly, this issue only affects one hole out of all of them. For the set screw, I fashioned a gasket ring out of PE and threaded it through with care. Take care! When installing a CPU cooler, extra care must be taken if there are already a lot of heatsinks attached to the motherboard. I was sworn to silence! As it did not rise due to the memory bar, Dark Rock 4 (200W) redirected the fan such that air was expelled rather than drawn from the radiator. Meanwhile, the fan's housing was still touching the radiator of the "mother" ship. Thus, I had to resort to the most savage methods to complete this fan: a knife and a file. Lack of joy.
