🎮 ASUS ROG Maximus XII Formula Z490 ATX Gaming Motherboard (WiFi 6, Intel 10th Gen) - 16 Power Stages, EK CrossChill III, 10 Gbps & Intel 2.5Gb LAN, Triple M.2, 2" Livedash OLED, Aura Sync Review

For most of my life, Asus has been my choice for computer hardware. In the last 5 years their quality and support has really gone down. I can't remember anything I've bought recently that hasn't had some sort of problem. Their RMA process takes weeks and their tech support can only be a Google search bar. The motherboard was great for the first month, then I started getting various error codes. At first resetting or updating the bios seemed to fix them and they were just annoying. But now the…

If you're building a cool liquid-cooled gaming PC and want the best of the best, buy this board. The board is heavy but with features. ASUS has really outdone themselves. Don't be intimidated by the price of the board, because with what you get and so many features crammed into a liquid-cooled board, you have a lot of options.

First of all this MB was already open so I'm sure someone else had the same problems as me. The motherboard does not stay powered off. It kept restarting and no one accidentally touched the PC.

Sure, the LED is a nice touch, but I don't think I even looked at it after installing it. The only positive is the ASUS bios…

This board works great with my 10900K and I can run it at 5.1GHz on all cores. It has a full 16 power stages! This board also worked right out of the box with no issues. If you have a Corsair keyboard, note that you must enable BIOS mode on your keyboard to enter BIOS. Additionally, to disable the LEDs when the computer is off, you need to go through the Armory Crate to disable them at the firmware level. Thanks to this board, my processor runs very cool, averaging around 40°C for such a high…

I love the look of the board. It's crazy because it has this OLED screen that shows the CPU temperature and has an eye-catching animation when the computer is off. The glow of the aura spreads throughout the field. However, I didn't actually buy this board because of the looks, but because of the function of the EK water blocks for VRM. Yes you can use this board without filling or touching the VRM water blocks but my intention was to put the board in the freezer and run all my water lines to…
