Maximus XI Apex

Where is it? Asus announced the Z390 boards today, and I don't see it.

I have both the M9 and M10 Apex boards and I love them. I'm probably looking at throwing a 9900K rig together, and I don't think there's better boards out there than the Apex line. Will we see one based on Z390?

Looks like Maximus X Apex is going to be the collectors item as the X shaped motherboard design has been dropped in the Maximus XI Apex.

The X shape RGB glow against a white case interior like the NZXT S340 Elite is unequalled.

Personally I don't sub zero anything but do purchase high end products and solutions around processing and cooling. I loved the APEX and own the IX version of it. All the great things around it like Aura lighting not only gave me the performance I wanted but the look for my RGB build. I have owned 5 ROG boards over the years. I really want this one. Not sure what to do.. don't want to go back to EVGA or MSI for a performance motherboard.

They said very clearly that the warranty wouldn't be any good should it come in DOA or die in the first month of non overclocking reasons. I push them to the designed OC specs with great cooling but again nothing subzero.

Reply back and ask him why the motherboard is listed on the U.S. site if Asus has/had no intention of selling it in the U.S.

Why is the card listed on Asus USA website and Canada website if you never going to sell it to us, you made a lot of people wait, no public reply on the forum we have been asking for months. We just are going to buy from another maker.... you are losing loyal customers...............

I'm in the U.S. and I bought mine through Newegg's seller in the U.K. The price is higher but the shipping was free and I received it in 2 days and I'm on the west coast. As for VAT, ask the seller he will know.

Hey Feklar, You should go and ask for the price match. the same vendor is selling that board on ebay new just like you get with newegg for 419 I think you paid 455 for it. I was looking at that avenue too. They should price match for you.. newegg is pretty good about that. Just search for it.. not sure I am supposed to put links on the board.
