Conclusion
| Overall | + | - | |
| A closer look at the motherboard lineup from ASUS reveals that the Maximus X Hero is a high-end model, regarding their gaming branded Z370 based products. Therefore it comes with a bunch of really neat features, like for example ASUS's SupremeFX audio solution, Aura RGB Lightning and two M.2 slots as well as a great looking design. Nevertheless at a price of 251 Euro, this board is definitely no bargain. Sure the Maximus X Hero is a good motherboard but in this price range even more could be expected, especially since other vendors sell equally equipped boards at a lower price. | -

| Layout | + | - | |
| The layout of the ASUS Maximus X Hero has been well thought - as expected. Once more practical are the angled SATA connectors as well as the power- and reset-buttons and the debug LED. Apart from that we like the placement of the PCI-Express x16 slots. There is a total of three full sized PCI Express slots and four PCIe x1 slots. Two of the three full-size PCIe slots receive metal reinforcements and these slots are two slots apart. This means that there is plenty of space for graphics card in multi GPU setups to breathe. When it comes to the M.2 slots we like the appropriately sized M.2 heatsink. | - Space around the CPU socket - Audio Solution |
