These both serve to tell you what’s going on during the board’s POST process. If something goes wrong, one of the four LEDs (CPU, Boot, VGA, RAM) will remain lit, and you’ll have a more detailed code on the Q-code showing you where the problem is. The Z790 Hero, much like the ROG Strix, has everything you’d ever want for a sweet gaming build. Where the Hero really starts to shine is in its extra features, which round it out for content creators too.

To make it even easier for you to take advantage of these cutting-edge drives, we’re offering onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots on more Z790 boards than ever before.

The bottom half is mostly covered in heatsinks and shrouds hiding the PCB below. On the left side, just below the Supreme FX branding, hides the Asus-brand Realtek ALC4082 codec. Currently, this is the best codec on motherboards and it's supplemented by an ESS ES9218 Quad DAC and several dedicated audio capacitors. If the onboard solution isn’t good enough, you’ll have to buy a dedicated add-in card. Most folks need all the convenient charging locations that they can get. With all the devices inside of today’s connected homes, you almost certainly have a smartphone, tablet, or handheld that could use a battery top-off whenever you sit down at your computer. Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.
