Packaging and Contents

The front of the ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero box features a black background with subtle, printed patterns. "ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO Gaming Motherboard" is in the center left, with the Republic of Gamers logo in the top right. "ASUS" is in the bottom left, and the brand badging is in the bottom right.

The back of the box has all the highlights: a top-down shot of the board, several panels detailing prominent features, a shot of the rear I/O, and the specifications list. The box design is well executed and matches the board perfectly.


The accessories are quite good. On top of the standard inclusions are thermistor cables, RGB extension cables, and an anti-sag graphics card holder. Notably absent is any kind of rear I/O shield because the shield is integrated into the board.
