First off I just want to say I’ve built several custom pc’s, however I wanted to do an ASUS build so I ultimately went all out for myself. This motherboard is nothing short of amazing. Absolutely beautiful in everyway and I love it. If you’re thinking about buying it, do it! The weight of it alone will tell you all you need to know about the quality of it. 10/10 I would highly recommend!

Dear Leadfootphil, We do understand your dissatisfaction with the quality of your recent customer service experience, and the inconvenience this may have caused. We do value our customers and take the negative customer service experience very seriously. This is not the quality of service expected from ASUS. We continuously strive to improve our approach and processes to achieve customer service excellence. The motherboard's pricetag is competitive considering all its cutting-edge features, please visit the motherboard's support page for details at: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-dark-hero/. To control your Corsair liquid cooler, you need to use the Armoury Crate utility software. You can download the software at: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-dark-hero/helpdesk_download/. If you need further assistance with the motherboard, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I will be more than happy to help.

Very nice. Connected everything and booted first go. No issues. Works and looks great with the Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 I partnered it with. I would like to change the RGB display to something other than just ROG.
