Another ASUS work of art

ROG motherboards are always a pleasure to work with. The ROG Maximus X Hero has by far the best overclocking support I've ever used on a motherboard. It automates overclocking settings, maintains necessary power levels, and will even automate overclocking based on temperature requirements set by the user. Not having to install an i/o guard makes installation so much easier. The integrated WiFi works well, as do the NVME and all the USB ports in their various speeds and flavors. You can't go wrong with this motherboard.
