Instructions unclear: bought z790 dark hero.

oops screwed up pop up, oh well. Also first

4 dimm DDR5 boards should be ignored. Either buy a "cheap" DDR4 board, OR spend the money to get a high end 2 dimm boards like the Apex or Tachyon.

Just bought a z790 Hero from Amazon for 310 bucks. I know it can't hit 8000k...but for the price...it can hit 7200mhz....so im good with that, going on a 12900k.

700$ motherboard review, all you have bad about it is 1000 mhz lower DDR5 ram acceptance? all you argue for 16 minutes is just checking memory aspect of a motherboard that has 100 other features to be checked and evaluated?

And all you have against it is memory capacity? Dude, we’re totally buying it.

It is outrageous and rather deceitful. The other major concern is the PCI slots. 16X What and What, Less and Less? These motherboards are Expensive. Come on Asus, you do make good motherboards. Don't spoil it with these folly tricks! It is so right of you to call them out. Thanks for your informative and detailed review, Man.

You save me money man! I return it that day when I comment. I should of waited until you did your review.

The very word 'ASUS' has become a curse word for me since their recent market practices, will definitely not buy anything from them ever again. I even feel bad for owning an ASUS laptop, i've had luck with it the G712L i7/2070s model though, it's been powered on literally 24/7 for almost 4 years, giving it really hard time running serves from it even poured beer on it and first time opened it 1 week ago for dust off because it was so stuffed with tobacco tar and dust the fans stopped spinning, compressed air didn't remove any of the dust i needed to use toothbrush to clean it. I know people with ASUS laptops who needed to send it many times to warranty because of issues i really don't get it how mine keeps working even when i literally keep raping the damn thing.

I agree already.

1000 percent people need to contact Asus and all other companies when this stuff happens. For the greater good!

Appreciate that the intent of this video is from a RAM overclocker, noting its issues with meeting marketed RAM Clock speeds, but the inference I took from it was what sold me on the encore. In saying that, I have both the Apex encore and dark hero and I actually find the Dark Hero is better for several reasons, and so will most ethusiasts who don't really stuff around with RAM overclocking bar adjusting it to its respective XMP profile.

Came for the content. Stayed for the kitty.

Hi,

On one had Asus is promoting the 8k mhz and on the other had you got Juan Jose Guerrero telling every it depends on CPU and board. This practice has been going on forever by all the MB manufactures, as soon as they set a world record, they want to promote the fastest speeds

What board would you recommend that's kind of similar to this one?

can’t wait to see Jufes push the newer Asrock Z790 boards🤞🏼

Glad I snagged another z690-i the other week for $180. Paired with 14900K sp95 + 96GB + 3090oc = awesome micro workstation/gaming rig. Even these z690-i's will boot and run 7200 on 6800 XMP timings + 1.4v, but run cooler at 6400 + tighter timings + lower voltage. Same latency either way

So what gaming board, professional video and audio do you suggest in Asus line up?

This sounds similar to vehicle window stickers. The sticker tells you what MPG you can expect, city and road driving. Then, it tells you that your MPG may vary. ASUS tells you the highest memory speed this MB supports. They should, like the MPG car sticker, tell you that your memory speed may vary. If you believe that ASUS has tested every memory module on their GVL on this MB, I have some lovely oceanfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you.
