kicsipapucs Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I prefer the XI Apex's clean cut look over this, but this board still looks awesome! Very nice pictures too Alby, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashtan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just beatiful! Practical question: holes near the socket, are they identical in size to those in Apex XI? I mean, from Apex XI, I still have the 9th Gen Direct to Die frame from rockitcool. Do I need to buy a separate frame for comets? I already have two in the collection, from Kaby and CFL-R.

3urner Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does anyone know when this board will be for sale? I heard it will be launched later and it isn't listed in any german shop as all other boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It's listed in sweden. around 600€. Seeing as people are showing retails already my guess it will be available at launch https://www.inet.se/produkt/1903164/asus-rog-maximus-xii-apex-z490 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkentyne Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 What's your opinion about the changes to the 12 Apex vs the 11 Apex visually or build quality? Are the VRM phases the same, besides increase in power stages to 70A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThrashZone Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hi, Probably should of waited until early July for the Apex but copped out for the formula in 5 days instead I don't buy boards from newegg only amazon or locally better customer support.

I think, paper launch this year is very possible 😉 Also I heard rumors about frequency :)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
