Frankly speaking
The Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero is in our mind
The best Z270 based gaming motherboard you can buy sub USD $250. The board is absolutely feature-packed and the performance is just astounding. TAKE MY MONEY P
While ROG Maximus has retracted itself into an alcove of premium again, the Maximus IX Hero does go a fair way to appearing more premium than its predecessor. We'd argue it looks better, and you get expandable RGB lighting, some features water-cooling fan...
It's clear this is a fully featured, and striking motherboard. Yet given the capabilities offered to anyone picking it up, it's also clear just how good it is across the board. Essentially, Asus has delivered an Z270 Maximus product that's hard to beat. H...

Pricing Unfortunately, there's been a complete lack of information regarding the Z270 motherboards and their retail prices. As a result, it's impossible to conduct a fair comparison between numerous products and assess the value proposition. Rest assured...
Very strong feature set, Looks good and performs well, Sits at a better value price point than most Maximus IX Z270 boards, Virtually a direct replacement to the premium Z170 Maximus VIII Hero Alpha (but better), One of the best value Z270 motherboards a
