Software
Asus' AI Suite 3 software is very good. A strong array of voltage, frequency, and power settings can be adjusted via the software. Fan settings can also be tweaked.
Mem TweakIt allows memory timings to be viewed and adjusted.
Asus is the only one of the ‘big four' motherboard vendors to include a UASP-activating software tool for users who aren't running Windows 8. USB 3.0 Boost is a useful piece of software that can help users gain instant benefits when using high speed USB 3.0 devices.
A sizeable RAMDisk can be formed to provide users with ultra fast storage. This is particularly convenient for those who own large capacity memory kits and simply do not know what to do with it when gaming.
Sonic Radar II is the second iteration of Asus' overlay that shows where enemy interaction is originating in games. I have to admit that I am not a fan of the software (I prefer to play the ‘old-fashioned' way), although it can be helpful to novices who are trying not to get schooled when learning the ropes of a new shooter.
GameFirst III is Asus' network-controlling software that, in essence, is a competitor to Killer's Network Manager suite. The software allows Asus to opt for an Intel I218-V NIC without losing the software functionality that Killer's competing part offers.
KeyBot can be used to assign macros and shortcuts to a gaming keyboard. As Asus jokingly outlined in the company's press event, a one-touch solution for blanking the screen and muting the sound can be useful to gamers who are disturbed when undergoing their “me time”.
Asus VII Hero owner here with a 4690K running at 4.7Ghz with 1.25vlts or 4.8Ghz stable with 1.3vlts, maybe I could have got the same with a £30 cheaper Ranger board..maybe not but more than happy with my purchase and those LED lights do look cool..:)
Strong overclocking capacity for those who can make use of it, Well said and this is coming from a guy that lives for machine’s, guest I can thank you for those settings. I just order the ASUS Maximus VII Hero last night along with Corsair Vengeance Pro, Air Flow Pro, the Core i7 4790K and a few other gadgets for testing.
I would also like to point out that I found this website all because of HardOCP and started digging around the site and became a liker, although the layout can get a bit confusing at first, it got bookmark with the other 1000+ that’s in there.
Nevertheless nice, good and simple review keep up the good work Luke Hill.
