I have ddr5 6400mhz cl32 memory, do I need to change settings to lower the speed of ram? am I able to get pc start? or I need to do something in bios

if you want the XMP to work with your ram, go to the Asus website and look up your board. In the support section of that board click on the CPU/Memory support tab, then click on memory. in that section it will tell you if the memory you have is certified to work with their board. If it is, go into the bios (make sure it's updated to the newest version) and turn on the XMP1 setting. It should all work from there (unless there is a ram problem) the z790 boards look like they have XMP up to 7800mhz. 6400mhz should work without a problem

Does this have the same ilm[intelligent loading mechanism] issue as the 690? if so, i am going to avoid this since i don't want a bent cpu.

I bought CPU contact Frame and problem solved. No more bent CPU

Can I use an MSI SPATIUM M570 on the motherboard?

Maybe? You might need to remove the heatink on it, as the motherboard has a cover and also a specific spot for it. The workaround would be to use a PCIE extension if you really wanted to use that NVMe

Which USB port is for the keyboard and which is for the mouse?

For keyboard and mouse any of them as they do not require extreme speeds. 5 Gbps speed became USB 3.2 Gen 1 and the 10 Gbps speed became USB 3.2 Gen 2 and the 20 Gbps speed became USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. The 20 Gbps speed is called USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, because it uses two 10 Gbps lanes to give you the 20 Gbps speed. So for mouse and keyboard you won't notice any differences. If you are connective higher demanding devices just make sure to block them when connecting your mouse and keyboard.

Only 1 of the RAM bays work

Having completed the build, we have identified only one of the RAM bays works, I know we should send it back however as everything else works it is a dilemma, as we want to start gaming. You would hope the QA/QS procedures would have identified such a basic issue, very disappointed.

I'm really happy with the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard. It's been handling my demanding PC setup, which includes a 4090 OC and other high-performance components, without breaking a sweat. The motherboard's impressive array of features like advanced overclocking capabilities, robust power delivery, and extensive connectivity options including Wi-Fi 6E, make it a top choice for anyone looking to future-proof their gaming rig. It supports the latest DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, ensuring that you get the most out of your high-end components. If you're building a PC that demands high power and wants to stay ahead of technology curves, this motherboard is an excellent choice.

Vengo de usar toda mi vida componentes de msi pero está vez decidí armarme una pc completamente con componentes asus, sin duda no me arrepiento de nada y valió cada centavo, muy bonita tarjeta madre con un rendimiento muy bueno. Recomendada totalmente, estética de 10, excelente componente para armar una pc de gama alta y también me gustó mucho la bios de asus.

Non, il ne supporte pas la 14ème génération INTEL, il s'agit d'une erreur sur l'annonce. Je ne comprenait pas quand je l'ai acheté avec justement un processeur INTEL de 14ème génération mais quand on va sur le site du constructeur il est présenté jusqu'à la 13ème génération, la mise à jour du Bios ne change rien. Fort heureusement, Amazon me l'a repris malgré un dépassement délais des réclamations car je n'avais pas trouvé le temps d'assembler mon PC avant. Pour ce geste, j'aurais bien mis 5 étoiles pour Amazon mais là il s'agit de la carte mère.

Honestly love this motherboard, it’s absolutely gorgeous and solid features. Only thing I wish it had was native 10Gb Ethernet. Great upgrade from my Asus Hero VI.
