Without the board dvd my install yesterday would still have quite a few yellow exclamation marks. It left two unsorted, one a SMBus controller and a PCI which needed sourcing online. A change to legacy in the bios and my win10 drive booted. It's my first new build for quite a few years, I stopped overclocking over twenty years ago so that is of no interest other than the power capabilities. I bought a bundle with the z490 but they didn't have it in stock. Meanwhile I'd seen the 590, so changed my order as i liked the increase in the Audio and the 11th gen. At some point in the future an upgrade to my non RTX AGP and CPU and SSD will be worthwhile.

Speaking of WiFi routers. The speed numbers being spouted by companies who are implementing 802. 11ax are all theoretical. Conditions have to be perfect to see the full potential of anything wireless. Then there's also overhead, which uses a portion of the spec's bandwidth for it's own functions. Also, WiFi isn't full-duplex (no, wifi 6 IS NOT full-duplex) so performing actions that require packets to be sent and received at the same time (which happens all the time) will introduce latency to the transmission and receiving of packets. If you want network performance you can rely on, use a wire.

Still no Colour OLED screen though: /. Now it's 1. 77- screen instead of 2. 0- on XII Extreme. Anyway are more fans now finally fully PWM Q-FAN controllable because my XI GENE Z390 has only 2. CHA_FAN & CPU_FAN. All the other headers my board can't fully control and turn off the fans. I like the fact i can now run a top end 3080 card in one of the bottom PCI-E 4. 0 X8 lanes and not worry about bandwidth limitations or obscuring the Asus ROG Insignia.

42: 38 MEM TEST in BIOS!
that is the coolest thing iv seen in ages!
I never bothered touching RAM settings as you can corrupt windows with bad settings, having a safe walled garden in bios to use mem test is such a cool feature.
>. > can only hope it comes to my X570 Tuff wifi but suspect that there's no room in BIOS.
Id love to see PCIE 4 broken out to PCIE 3 for NVME, id take double the NVME slots at PCIE 3 over half for PCIE 4

Any reason I'm getting worse numbers on the Maximus XIII with the same components as I do on my ROG STRIX Z490? Components: i9 10850K, NVMe Samsung 750EVO PLUS 1TB, DDR4 TRIDENT Z 3200 CAS 16 4x8GB. Bad numbers on the CPU and the memory. Consider returning if I won't make it work withing a day or two. Also, my boot time on the Z490 was under 10 sec and on the Z590 it's above 30 sec.

ok so i bout the rog maximus xiii hero, it has two 8pin atx power connection ports. my power supply( ag-750m apex gaming fully modular ) it came with a atx power connector it has 24 pin on one end and a 8 pin and a 4pin connector on the other end! do i hook up the 8pin only or the 8pin and in the other 8pin hook the 4 pin? as the manual on this really sucks!

shame he didnt talk about, the crasy price hike of all the asus products, and how they dont compete with the rest of the brands at that current pricing. + the fact that they dont include the best of anything until you pay top doller. 10G should be midrange by now, not only on 2 boards. They are keeping highend things back to milk the marked more.

Everything was very informative, and I love seeing a real person in the tech space and going through what it takes to make a motherboard and PC parts in general. The market research portion is what I find most intriguing. I would imagine most sales would come from value-oriented products rather than aesthetics-focused ones.

Asus dropped the ball with Z370. The worst/cheapest VRM available on any boards. I was a total fanboy until that. Gigabyte picked up the crown and has since held it high. ROG= Cheap. No thank-you. There is no justification for the drop in quality other than profit greed.
