"EVANGENLION" next to the polymer display.

[@damokerbs5856]

Oh god..why.. that's what you pay for nowadays

[@PSIKOTIKOO]

Damn i'm looking for this comment. That means all the product have same problem all over the world. They will fire the designer guy and the QC guy for sure 😂😂😂

[@proxyhx2075]

A recall has been issued by Asus already

[@shinichinakamura3617]

02:37 EVANGE"N"LION PRODUCTION MODEL-02 😆😆😆

[@pa86_]

It's like that on more than one place. Unbelievable....

[@htgmn]

Also worth mentioning, one is Z690 chipset and the other is Z790 chipset

[@alexsnow5]

9:32 That plastic left there bad juju dude, precious MOBO

[@sweeleangloh]

Thanks for the tip about checking on the LGA pins when we first get a mobo...😎👌

[@keyboardbunny]

The typo is so annoying.. I have the unit 1 set. Thank god they didnt typo on that set. Or did they 🤔

[@Big0try]

😂

[@B_Erdes]

the most frustrating with these motherboard is crazy super high price cause of red ballerina picture but HDMI 2.0 NOT 2.1 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@RobbyWonder]

Evangelion is misspelled on the dot matrix 🤣🤣
I wish I could find this Mobo for a decent price! Thank you so much for the great overview! :D

[@TechTalkTobi]

Do you need to give this board back ? Test Sample ? Because it looks like you left the foil on the pads on NVMe cooler. RAM & Cooler doesn't fit at all. But i like that you used an aircooler :)

[@cecollector]

Nah, I actually did buy the board out of pocket. Just wanted to keep it in amazing condition :)

[@TechTalkTobi]

@@cecollector ? ... but, you don't use it now as daily driver, or ? Just for collection, right ? :)

[@cecollector]

@@TechTalkTobi just for collection and the occasional testing.

[@Jyul1]

EvangeNlion made with chinesium

[@Its_a_Mr_Eh]

Actually Asus uses Taiwaneseum. 😂

[@justcallmeeddy4067]

Does this board suffer from any stability issues? anything with ram xmp or gpu issues?

[@cecollector]

Not from what I tested so far, though granted the memory kit I was using is pretty basic (5200), not sure how it performs on a higher speed ram. Performance wise should be the same as a regular Maximus board.

[@drifty5554]

sorry im late but i have a very important question:
i used a intel core i9 12900k and the pc wont even boot and on the motherboard it says "00" which it maybe means the cpu is the problem, what is wrong?

[@cecollector]

I'd say check if there are any bent pins. If there are no bent pins, try using another 12.13 or 14th gen cpu to troubleshoot (This part might be difficult cause you need an extra cpu for troubleshooting. Based on Asus' recommendation, the 00 is a CPU abnormality.

[@MargVeteranGaming]

Im sorry but I read EVANGENLION

[@nodesign3007]

the previous BIOS was really better

[@MrJessebo]

That anyone would care about, much less pay for a motherboard's looks is just so depressing

[@Its_a_Mr_Eh]

Don't forget the explicit images of an underage girl on the box. That also moves motherboards.

[@sadasow2670]

@@Its_a_Mr_Ehhow can a cartoon be underage? 😭😭

[@volkank.k4121]

What about water cooling ?

[@cecollector]

Should be fine, the high end boards are usually are pretty good with water cooling.

[@anatoliberman2320]

asuka best wifu♥️

[@outlet6989]

I love unboxing, especially when It's my girlfriend.

[@firenbubble]

EvangeNlion ?

[@elektrosam1]

[@DoggoWaffle]

[@cecollector]

Most definitely 👍

[@relevsethekrvken]

[@theanglerfish]

[@cecollector]

I believe it’s already been released a couple of weeks ago.

[@transformlifemusic]

@@cecollectorit’s already sold out it’s crazy.. will they make more?

[@cecollector]

@@transformlifemusic not sure how long will they do these production line. I’d recommend adding to your email to Asus’ or Newegg’s notification list.

[@eddietan9821]

The cpu cooler simply spoilt the look

[@shanglee643]

Why only 360p ?

[@cecollector]

4k vid should finish processing soon. :)

[@Spazzfrom.1989]

The only thing is the show was such a major waste of time..neat looking board though

[@PainIsntExist]

EVANGENLION. Nice job asus really shows the attention to detail!
Yeep

[@Its_a_Mr_Eh]

You think this is bad, try calling them for customer service.
