I bought a high-end motherboard once. It had a few annoying quirks and bugs that took a long time to get fixed (if ever) because it was a niche product with a relatively small user base. Now I just buy mainstream boards and upgrade more often for the ultimate experience.
Would have to be mad to spend this much money on a motherboard for a socket which is rumoured to have a single CPU generation and one which barely moves the performance needle…

Thanks for the review. I've had Z690 Extreme and I have Z790 Extreme and to be honest they are not worth it at all. These are mainstream boards and not even HEDT that is dead now.

this will be my first time buying a Maximus line board im pretty excited. This will be my first all white build so im going all out this time. I preorded the Z890 Apex and 285k, im just waiting on the 5090 hopefully Asus will drop the strix white 5090 on launch.
7:11 Out of place??? Really? I think this M.2 slot next to the ram witch only Asus uses looks great. Uses almost no space on the board and it looks like an extra ram slot, just as big and you barly notice it in your case. You are the first person I hear complaning about it.
i already pre ordered mine at 1k lol, better be worth it, my z690 maximus formula has been a really nice board since ive owned it, so hopefully this will be too.
@bayramkanik4312 depends on your needs, for maximum fps is better AMD 9800x3d processors, for rendering and workflow is better the Intel ultra 285k. for me, I choose the 285k, but it needs a hefty 360 aio, the core 7 has better power consumption and will work with a good air cooler.

For the 4th M2 (Assume M2_1) above PCI-E 1 can you operate without cover - having a M2 with preinstalled / embedded heat sink instead ? - Love the Novell / But Air sail M2 - Slot In Expansion card next to the Dimms - assume that you can use 2 x M2's at once and are there any limitations with other M2's, can you use 6 x M2's onboard at once ? or does it reduce bandwidth of one or more of the 2 x PCI-E slots (Assume x 16 - Gen 4/5 ?). Opps I found the INFO Now on ASUS and extremely pricey in UK / Scan for over £1300 / $1500
X670e extreme was 1000 us dollars so this should be similarish the dimm.2 is still the pcie 4.o version though unlike the x670e one that has one side for pcei5.0 and one side 4.0
How many and which M.2 slots are used for PCIe5 and PCIe4 SSD's, that can be used on this motherboard WITHOUT affecting GPU performance, as a maximum? The manual is hard to follow clearly.

$1799Au for this which is madness for possibly a board that's only going to have one generation of CPU, $2200Au for the X670E Godlike which is utterly stupid but at least you get to use it till 2027+ although they might have woken up as I've seen it now for $1899. Cheers Guv.
an absolutely wonderful motherboard, at an even more "wonderful" price, for a processor that costs less, with fewer cores, and it is said that the 14900KS even in many games has better performance Of course nothing official and just rumors so far I really want them to think about the products for other countries and Europe, where they arrive unsealed...
so to get a rog board that isnt a gawdy gamer tacky mess you gotta spend 2x or 3x the cpu price to do it......... Tho i think the giant rog logo is still a bit tacky its a much cleaner board than alot of the rog boards of late. and id love to see a screenless version to bring that cost way down... that would sell.. this... dont see anyone but extreme overclockers and streamers and rich folk with more money than sense buying this board. Then again.. they keep raising the price so SOMEONE is buying it.... The high end is getting to water cooling and high end gpu point.. where only the super rich can enjoy the hobby..... shame... i keep saying as much as pc gamings popularity over the past 10 years has pushed the industry forward.. its done a TON of damage aswell. Pricing is out of control. I got back into the hobby with phenom2 and then sandy bridge.. GTX 400-500 era... i think my FLAGSHIP 2600k gtx 580 build.. mind you i went sli... cost like 1500ish dollars... to get a FLAGSHIP gaming experience in 2024... the GPU alone cost more than the whole rig did back then... inflation sure.. but its mostly corporate greed and senseless consumers who allow it.
personaly i would prefer comprehsive real world reviews rather than reading the products specs that I can get on the mb web page just saying I remember years ago when you would do comprehensive reviews of the vrm stability overclocking features temps comparison personal thought etc etc EVn power supply videos where are they I used your site for my major component when building
The amount of people moaning about the price....if its too expensive then its not for you anyway. Secondly, I only buy one motherboard and CPU per new build which lasts me 6 years. Ill upgrade the GPU after 3 years into my 6 year life cycle. So 1k for 6 years of constant use for me of a high end product really isn't bad.
It's a really stupid statement to say "don't buy it then". It's objectively overpriced compared to last models on z790 and z690. This is a fact and it's legitimate to be angry about asus and other brands exploding their prices. If nobody says anything about this bs, there will never be a change in that.
@MrXV15 it's inflation for you. I bought an Audi RS3 in 2018 for £63K which was affordable. The new model was 10k more expensive which then made it no longer viable for me. I didn't complain to Audi. I just looked for an alternative in my price range. Also, we don't know what the Bill of Materials are or the margins. So if it's too expensive then as I correctly said its not the product for them. Also voting with our wallet works. If their is margin to play with and sales are low then they'll reduce the price.

Not worth it, even for overclocking… Do better, Asus. 700 or less for top tier MBs.. or no one should buy it. The price creep has gotten to criminal lvls.

Yep pretty poor when not much in the way of peripherals is USB C
have to be cra__ to buy intel at this point...
id be surprised if there will be more than 100 people buying this worldwide...Not sure why so many companies are so invested with Intel, given the fact that there wont be an Intel next year end of January.
What do you mean there won't be an intel?
@@Trippyrich33 They gonna file for bankruptcy at one point. Intel.. a semi conductor manufacturer that doesn't manufacture semiconductors.
My guess is Intel will file for bankruptcy in mid January in court of NY.
@@Trippyrich33should be connected to that intel lost more than 130billion this year
@@eruas490 LOL, how can you lose 130 billion dollars and still be trading.
@@uneekpcswhen you are in a multi trillion dollar industry 😅
Even for extreme tweakers this price is outrageous 😂 same price as a RTX 4080 non super
Is it true you have a massive lad ?
The few people that going to buy this kind of board they will only use 10% of his features of the 90 % features they overpaid
🤡
only 4 sata ports? what the hell...
we're moving away from sata
I'm pretty sure almost nobody buying this board cares about having more than 4 SATA ports. Much rather have more M.2 slots and maybe a slimSAS port.
a sus
£1360 @awd ffs thats $1777. Welcome to RIP OFF BRITAIN.
$1000 lmao.
Quite simple, do not buy... 😊
Thanks mate but too bloody expensive for me. Good report.
LOL Anyone who buys a motherboard for 1k or more needs to take a moment and ask someone nearby to slap them… really, really hard. Only an absolute fool would buy this.. Not worth it, even for overclocking… Do better, Asus. 700 or less for top tier MBs.. or no one should buy it. The price creep has gotten to criminal lvls.
its not for you, its for enthusiasts.
Asus always make my blood boil because of the discrepancies between Intel and AMD. If I was AMD I will ditch them as a partner. AMD has come so far just to be put down by their so-called partners. I suppose nothing in this life is fair. Shame on you ASUS.
It’s as intel is more profitable for them sadly
@@PlumpsHubrisat this point only because Intel literally pays them to make better hardware for Intel products
@@e2rqey maybe so they also work very closely with ASUS at events. As an industry person myself I seen the buddy buddy mentality.
This board is useless
Like all the TH-cam’s videos. To much bla bla bla and nothing of demos or benchmarks. Nothing new. Thank you
He can’t until the 24th. Chill dude
@@Jpnelly1363 that’s why. I understand now. Thank you
$3000.00 US. lol.
$999.99 actually.
