Board Software
ASUS ROG platforms have for some time now had top-notch software to go along with your shiny new motherboard, and the ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO is no exception. From RAMDisk software to the now hugely matured and refined AISUITE III, everything you need to tweak your system from within a Windows-based OS is here.
There is a tool to get you into the board's BIOS should it boot faster than you can push the proper key on boot, which I have struggled with a fair bit myself. There is also a tool for LAN traffic optimization, although it has to be set up manually. Good for checking memory timings and as such interesting if you play with memory, MemTweakIt also makes an appearance.
ASUS offers their users some online web storage and a utility to make use of it. WinZip software and Deamon Tool Pro licenses will also help you make the most out of your ROG experience.
