So ASUS are back with the 8th generation of the Maximus boards and are now featuring the 1151 socket, Z170 Chipset and DDR4 Memory, When we did our initial Skylake Review we purposely chose to do all of our testing on the Z170-A motherboard to give us a g...

The Maximus VIII Hero was very nice to work with. Its BIOS felt stable, had many options, and provided very good guidelines for overclocking. The choice to use Texas Instruments NexFETs in the VRM was a sound one as can be seen in the thermal imaging sec...
As the mid range standard bearer for ASUS' ROG line, the Maximus VIII Hero does not disappoint in the least. It does just about everything well. Starting with the performance delivered out of the box, the board delivers top marks in most of the tests than...
The Maximus VIII Hero is one of those motherboards which will prompt just as many questions as it ultimately answers. It will cause potential buyers of lower end boards to wonder if they should spend just a bit more money for a true gamer grade product wi...
the ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO series is a worthy upgrade, and bringing the joy and frustration of pushing CPUs way past their design limits!The test machine was sponsored by Computer Lounge. For more information or to purchase, check out the Computer Loung...

Pricey, No twin M.2 slots
Opting for the Maximus VIII Hero Alpha over the standard Hero will likely come down to the necessity for the additional features that this new motherboard brings.The supplementary features come in the form of dual U.2 ports, up to 3 PCI Express RAID devic...

It hard to believe after so many years, building systems and working on custom builds, I've never used a single ROG product… I've never consciously avoided them for any one reason, but I must confess pricing is most likely why I've gone elsewhere. It was...
Excellent styling and layout, Good baseline performance, Packed with high-quality features, Good manual and automated overclocking
No single standout feature, Not the absolute fastest motherboard we've tested, Plastic shroud is all form and no function
Asus Maximus VIII Hero – UEFI interface and Software By default, the Asus Maximus VIII Hero's UEFI interface is set to its "EZ" mode, which hides most of the complicated settings that you'll need to overclock this motherboard. Instead, it gives a quick ov...
Great aesthetics with an all-new ROG theme, Fast, fluid and well designed UEFI BIOS, Superb performance, Incredible audio components for the money
Only one M.2 PCI-E slot (minor), No second USB 3.0 header (minor)
Now that we've had a good chance to take a look at the ASUS Maximus VIII Hero, is it the board to go for at approx. £160? The Hero is the most popular motherboard in the ROG brand according to our sources, and the reason for that is because it was usually...
