ASUS Maximus IX Hero LGA1151 Motherboard Review

CPU & GPU Performance


Cinebench

In Cinebench R15, the motherboard obtains an excellent set of scores and slots into a very respectable third position. Once overclocked, the performance remained pretty good and the motherboard wasn’t overblown by competing solutions.

WPrime

The motherboard completes the WPrime Pi calculation tasks in a superb time and almost comes out on top. Once overclocked, the ASUS MAXIMUS XI HERO reports the fastest time of all the 5.0GHz results.

SiSoft Sandra

Here we can see the motherboard doesn’t quite come up to par and lingers behind the majority of the field. Thankfully, the performance is much better at 5.0GHz and the motherboard outputs commendable scores.

3DMark

In 3DMark, the motherboard achieves a decent score but it’s towards the lower-end of the spectrum. After the overclock was applied, the situation didn’t improve much and the motherboard couldn’t surpass other Z270 products. Saying that, the difference isn’t that substantial to warrant any concern.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided 

As expected, the motherboard selection doesn’t really improve the gaming experience, nor does a hefty CPU overclock.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

During the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark, the motherboard maintained a very stable frame-rate alongside the GTX 980Ti.
