While ROG Maximus has retracted itself into an alcove of premium again, the Maximus IX Hero does go a fair way to appearing more premium than its predecessor. We'd argue it looks better, and you get expandable RGB lighting, some features water-cooling fan...
It's clear this is a fully featured, and striking motherboard. Yet given the capabilities offered to anyone picking it up, it's also clear just how good it is across the board. Essentially, Asus has delivered an Z270 Maximus product that's hard to beat. H...
