[Black Haru]

The ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero has premium looks, premium features, a powerful VRM, Thunderbolt 4, four M.2 slots with double-sided heatsinks, dual 2.5 Gb/s LAN, and WiFi 6E. The Maximus XIII Hero could be a compelling candidate for any high-end 11th Gen Intel build.

This slew of high-end, ultra-expensive Z590 reviews must have taken a while, but it's a shame the 11900K is such a piece of garbage. I'm not saying you've wasted your time on them but flagship boards for CPU's that are worse than last gen and the competition's midrange? Ouch and a half.

Who wants a $500 motherboard for a chip that's equally overpriced and kind of sucks anyway? I guess the same sort of fanboys who bought flaghship boards to go with AMD's 220W FX-9590

Even with such a premium board, high-end DDR4, and gear1 timings locked behind this ridiculous flagship product segmentation, The 11900K is still significantly slower than 5800X on an entry-level board using mainstream, affordable DDR4.

Since the only 11th gen chips worth considering seem to be the i5 models, particularly the sub-$200 ones, it would appeal to more people to see reviews of a few $100ish B560 boards.

I found one shop locally new is 250-270e, and can't pass on that deal, also because its the only "reasonably" priced mobo that is capable of running F4-4400C17D-32GTRS
and is on QVL list.

Funny thing same ram but 2x8GB is apparenlty ok on my z490 unify. While 2x16 not and only high end asus z590 .. I know gear2 is slower, but I want to have both options
