ASUS Maximus VI Hero Z87 Motherboard Review

Included Software & Features
ASUS has always done a great job included useful programs with their motherboards. Their AI Suite software has been a favorite of mine. In the video below we show you AI Suite III, RAMDisk and Mem TweakIT software.

Another Republic of Gamers exclusive is the Game First II software. This software allows you full control over your network adapters. We go into detail in the video below.

USB 3.0 boost is something we have seen on ASUS motherboards for a while now and it really does speed up your USB 3.0 devices. Using the Thermaltake BlacX 5G hard drive dock we tested a Corsair Force GT over the USB 3.0 connection on normal speeds then again using the USB 3.0 boost.

A new addition to this generation of Republic of Gamers motherboards is the Sonic Radar. It creates a graphical representation of where sounds are coming from in your game. This will enable you to know where enemies are coming from. The software has many presets for some of the most popular games out there.
