 Intel CPUs right now before water cooling, overclocking and performance. It also has a ton of RGB and built-in configurable all its skin and illuminated audio jacks. I Really like the fact that audio jacks are illuminated I've seen that already with other motherboards at Asus basically releases but the thing here with RGB is that you have this screen over here which you can really configure with anything you want. This is going to be really cool if you want to put temperatures on it or some you know already if you have like I mentioned before, if you have the money to get this first of all we're gonna talk about everything

 It's likely at least in the last four months I've seen a new set every month so stick with me if you want to see a review of that. I Really like Transmog. They have amazing products so all I know like I mentioned before, if you have the budget, this is probably the best motherboard you can get. I'm still saving up to get the CPU obviously like I mentioned but only know once you get this thing connected, you're gonna probably want to use it with water cooling is you have the water pump connections over here I didn't go for all of the onboard buttons which you have many of these as me myself I actually not I don't use them that much and I'm not a big expert in building pcs either, but I'm just telling you my experiences with the products that I get

 PC that's gonna have a lot of features I Really like the fact we're getting a I You know a lot of things right now. So we talked about the bonus that I'm gonna show you doing this video and that's gonna be the newest form Tone Smart I Actually have reviewed most of Trance mods, headphones and even Bluetooth speakers and today I am with this and this is their newest bluetooth bluetooth headphones and there I Have no idea how good they are but yeah over here. I'm gonna test them out. You know what's new in this new Tone Smart Bluetooth Headset or headphones I Think that once mod is releasing headphones every month right now I'm not kidding you

 Basically, there's also a USB over here USB stick I'm going to talk about it in a moment which will enable you to flash back your bias if you want to do that. The first expansion card you're gonna see here is the fan expansion card basically letting you install more fans on your obvious on your build obviously and it's gonna have two temperature contours on it, sensors on it. and also you're gonna see here that we have the Funderbolt three expansion card which is basically something that you're gonna be really happy with if you are canta canta like I am and you are basically paying for it by the way when you are buying this motherboard. So please make note that if you're not using this, you're gonna pay extra for this whole setup because basically there needs to be a licensing when you usually put this card or expansion card with a motherboard and you know what? I'm happy because I'm doing these videos

ROG Maximus XII Extreme Review

The four DIMM slots are in the same region, and capable of supporting up to 128GB of memory via four 32GB modules. The board does, of course, support standard memory speeds up to 3,600MHz, but Asus' OptiMem III technology on the board (which involves, according to the company, more resilient traces) can accept higher frequency and lower latency settings, with the expectations of memory overclock support up to 4,800MHz.

The ROG Maximus XII Extreme has a metal backplate over the back of the board that is also supposed to help with cooling. I can't quantify how effective it is at that, but it definitely makes the board feel sturdy and durable. You won't have to worry about PCB flex when struggling with ornery, stiff cables like the main 24-pin power connector.

4Gbps, the AX201 is certainly no slouch. You'll just want to have a Wi-Fi 6-compatible wireless modem to leverage it.

Asus' ROG Maximus XII Extreme, built on the Intel Z490 chipset, is the company's flagship motherboard for the Intel LGA1200 socket and 10th Generation "Comet Lake-S" CPUs like the Core i9-10900K. It should come as no surprise, then, that this oversize Extended ATX (E-ATX) board is simply spilling over with premium features, including AI-assisted overclocking and a fancy OLED display that broadcasts system status (and, if you like, custom animations). Designed for advanced users who will tweak and liquid-cool their components with abandon, this board also supports high-speed memory profiles and other tweakables that put it way beyond the focus of casual PC builders. The "Extreme" in the name isn't kidding in other ways, too: This board is proudly, boldly pricey at $750

Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme Review

 Obviously, it's only for the very highest of high-end Pc builds. However, as the 750 dollars price tag means you could actually build a respectable full gaming Pc for the price of this single motherboard, it's an aspirational Z 490 motherboard and arguably the best gaming motherboard for Comet Lake overclocking. but I'll concede it's not a particularly realistic purchase for most of us. Thanks for watching and I hope you liked the video

 If you want the best, most fully featured Intel Comet Lake motherboard, then I'm afraid you're going to have to pay for it and pay through the nose. If Asus Z 490 Maximus 12 Extreme is anything to go by, it is, as the name suggests, Extreme packing in a variety of luxurious and incredibly handy extras a freaking screwdriver with interchangeable heads for one, and it's also one of the highest performing Z 490 boards we've tested, But it only really makes sense if you're buying a K Series core I9 and genuinely intend to overclock the nuts off it. The Maximus 12 will allow you to get the highest clock speed out of your 1090k and won't turn it into a pile of molten slag while you're at it. The Msi Z 490 Godlike is actually the fastest Z 490 outright at stock speeds, but I'd rather have the Raj Board in my camp if I'm going down the Oc route

►Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme Motherboard Review

 with a 1200w EVGA P2 PSU.. and unplugging all other sata drives/devices  changed to a Corsair RM750x to test if it would work.

Had Issues on Arrival.

Hey guys, this is now from the Overclocker Magazine. So I'm gonna talk to you briefly about the ROG Maximus 12 Extreme. So this motherboard. The first thing I have to say about it is that this is undoubtedly the most impressive motherboard I've ever seen

 So as luck would have it all the DRAM I have is Samsung did I So I tried on this motherboard and I just couldn't get to 4,600 and then I tried 4500 was also a bit flaky 4400 and eventually I actually had to settle for 4266 which is still pretty impressive. Ok for for damn board. however I had seen that I Ritchie was claiming for the 800 and that sort of thing. Granted I don't have any of the DRAM kids that they said would be able to do for the 800 megahertz on this board

 It has all of that. but I think was a premium motherboard like that. It has to be more than just some of his parts. It has to be presentation, aesthetics

 You know I think this is a ton. The ball card is it Oh Nene DisplayPort on a mini DisplayPort E-types yeah, so dim thought to lots of cabling, It's literally it's like Christmas in here. So in terms of just making you realize Oh or feel that hey, you know I've actually made a good purchasing decision. What's going with this motherboard despite the very high price? Again, ROG has done an incredible job here, just giving you a ton of stuff

  AVOID THIS OVERPRICED PIECE OF TRASH LIKE THE PLAGUE!  Pros: - Lots of power delivery  Cons: - Quality Control issues (Expansion card ports broken from the factory) - The Intel I225-V LAN port doesn't work. No updates or new firmware can revive it. Many users report this port DOA on their boards. ASUS chose to use a problematic product in their board

 - You won't be able to use the expansion cards (DIMM M.2 and Thunderbolt) because they use PCIe lanes from the CPU, and the motherboard will force a slowdown of your video card (from x16 to x8). This is a performance and gaming motherboard, so such a slowdown will kill half of your FPS, and is nonsensical to include and charge you for those accessories on the motherboard price, when you really won't be able to use them if you want the full performance out of your hardware. ASUS doesn't mention this ANYWHERE in their specs and manuals, but you'll find out in practice soon enough

Overpriced trash, even at MSRP.

 In terms of other cooling on here, you have got this large area over the MDOT twos as well, which we're talk about sort of. You know what we actually have available there now. I Did mention that there was an accessory that comes in the box and it's essentially a fan controller card. It does give you a lot more kind of, you know, fan connectors

Everyone Andy Rafael For me, technics, calm and today we are looking at the almighty. Zeus ROG Maximus 12 Extreme. Let's do this: the: Zeus Tough Rx 5,600 XT A match made in heaven. For those who are serious about 1080p gaming, incorporate an advanced fan technology to improve air flow and silence without compromise

 But yeah, you're gonna have to pay for it going back to kind of. you know, if you're a pro overclocker. It has a few other neat little features you'd expect from it from an extreme board as well. so it has voltage readout points

 It's the Rog Supreme FX HD Audio It has Op-amp It has an E ESS DAC on there. It's got gold plated connectors on the back up, optical s/pdif it's pretty much what you'd expect for a board of kind of this price point and finally ending with the rear I/o It's all completely built in so you're not going to have any sort of problem rummaging around for the I/o shield plate or installed in the system and forgetting it. It does have a BIOS flashback barn. It has a clear CMOS button

ASUS ROG Maximus XII EXTREME Z490 Review

  If you're OC'ing with this board, you're going to want to do everything manually. If you set things to auto/adaptive and let XMP do its thing, you're going to see voltages at 1.54 and higher. Would not recommend letting it make its own decisions, it's like a 10yr old in a LEGO store

Overclocker's Dream

 Anyway, so you get another 4 Found editing your post to read out up here and then if I zoom you in, you can actually see the writing on the board for what we're doing. So you've got the all in raid 0. Anyway, you can see your the lights there, your LED lights. they're there, your post lights to get the CPU, the D round the VGA and the boot so you get it, will flag those up as it's going through the post process and let you know how their boards doing

 Anyway, you can see your the lights there, your LED lights. they're there, your post lights to get the CPU, the D round the VGA and the boot so you get it, will flag those up as it's going through the post process and let you know how their boards doing. I know a lot of you are already going to know this but I'm trying to give you as much detail as possible on case you don't slow mode switch there. Ln2 mode switch see I'm literally reading these down the side as I'm showing you then obviously start flex key

 Up in the top left-hand corner we see our 2 8 pin CPU connectors don't have to use both, but they are there if you want to have a big overclock or you're really only pushing things. And then we see our first fan header just there. Then if we pan across and I'll do it this way with the actual moving the board rollin there we go. then we can see our two CPU fan head is there

 Let me come over here. get this header and basically that header is a Molex connector. You don't have to connect it if you don't want to, it's there just to be able to feed extra power into the PCI Express for in the old days if you were running multiple cards and big overclocks and stuff like that. but it's getting kind of negated now, but it will be an option there for hardcore overclock is and the like
