Another great board from ASUS.
Antony Steele
I used this on my very first custom gaming PC and it looks amazing with the LEDs lighting up the inside of the case.

This BIOS is packed with many tweaking options but also makes overclocking easy, if that's your game.

PROS
Nice touches make the installation easier
Dual intelligent processors save energy and boost speed automatically
BIOS and software are well-designed and feature rich
Supports low voltage RAM

CONS
Cost?
M.2 Slot seems like an afterthought - can't use it and have adequate PCI-e speed for peripherals

I'm not a gamer but wanted a motherboard that would work well in a high end home theater PC (HTPC) build. Based on past experience, ASUS has never let me down, so I looked through their Z97 lineup.

I got this motherboard for the rich feature set, dual intelligent processors, 8 SATA ports, lots of USB 3.0, multiple PCI-e expansion slots, and Z97 chipset (looking towards better integrated graphics in the 14 nm processors coming out later this year, which this board is supposed to support). I'm having no trouble with any of the features. This BIOS is packed with many tweaking options but also makes overclocking easy, if that's your game. I was interested in proper control of the case and CPU fans and this motherboard allows fine-grained control of 4 case and 2 CPU fans (compatible with 3 and 4-pin fans) from the BIOS itself - important if you want quiet performance in a HTPC. I was particularly impressed with the fan calibration feature included in the bios, that can automatcially detect the lowest fan speed possible. You can also turn off bells and whistles like the red LEDs, if desired.

The included software is pretty good too. I like the RAM disk utility that offers mapping / synchronization with a folder. The dual intelligent processor utility is well-designed and gives good real time fan and temperature info. It makes overclocking the CPU and GPU simple.

You always get a little concerned when you are buying and trying out new technology, such as this new ASUS Z97 Maximus VII Hero Motherboard. The board itself is much better looking then the camera can discern, and the power heatsinks by the CPU are very heavy in weight. The board is laid out really well, and has a ton of features. Using a i5-4670K CPU, 2 x 4 GB Crucial Ballistix Ram at 1866, a Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB Drive, and an XFX R7 260X Graphics Card, the Maximus VII Hero fired up with no issues with the press of a button. This is an incredible Motherboard, and the BIOS is light years ahead of anything just a few years ago. I stressed the system using AIDA, at 3.8 GHZ on the CPU, (although it will overclock a good bit higher), and everything was stable. I look forward to someday populating the M.2 slot with an SSD, for an even faster machine. Another great board from ASUS.

The ASUS Maximus VII Hero motherboard is my second ROG branded motherboard (Had a Maximus II Formula in 2008) and it doesn't disappoint. It was simple to install into my older but still great Antec Twelvehundred case and has met or exceeded all of my expectations with really only two really minor complaint about the drivers and audio.

The drivers and related mobo software took nearly 3 hours to install with Windows 8.1. It was agonizing. I wish someone had warned me it would take so long. The longest part seemed to be nearly 1 hour for the Asus cloud software. But with 5 total reboots and nearly 3 hours it was a big time sink.

As for audio this part will be pretty long but my hope is I'm going to save someone else time and frustration. The mobo comes with the new SupremeFX 2014 branded Realtec audio chipset (based on the high quality 8-channel or 7 speakers +1 subwoofer Realtek ALC1150 codec) has some caveats that the marketing and technical information available from Asus does a poor job in my very humble opinion of conveying. I suspect anyone using the Optical port would value this information. But especially anyone who shares my particular situation where I am connecting my new Maximus VII PC to an older ultra-high-end Audio Preprocessor in a home theater to be used as a high-end media system.

Before I go into that let me just say that the headphone input from the mobo is outstanding and the ROG Sonic Studio is really quite remarkable. But keep in mind its using audio tricks to use that functionality. If all you care about is headphones this is outstanding. However, to continue my earlier complaint about the audio....

Its perfect, ran a 4790k without bios update, booted right up without a wiped drive and allowed me to load drivers insanely fast and complete control.

***UPDATE***

I went ahead and purchased a replacement of this board, in person, at a store. That way I could evaluate what condition it was in. The install went flawlessly and has been currently up and running for about a week now. I've updated my 2-star review to a 3-star. I'd do 3 1/2 if I could.

I'll keep monitoring how this board works out for me, and then consider upgrading to a 4 star review. But so far, so good.

***END UPDATE***

I got a replacement for this board

I am writing this a mere hour after receiving the product:

I purchased a new motherboard but what arrived was potentially used. There was thermal paste smeared on the CPU socket, thumbprints on the motherboard itself, and a thumbprint on the motherboard battery (the silver watch battery). The plastic shield that covers the CPU was also out place.

I left an image of the described problems in the customer gallery for this product. It is the one with the green text and circles describing what I noticed. If there's a way to click it to zoom in, I encourage you do so since it will be easier to read.

For what it's worth, I'm an enthusiast who's been building systems since '98. I've never received a product in this condition before. I've had to RMA faulty products, but very occasionally. It might be likely that this is an anomaly, but it's an obvious oversight of standards.
