ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula Preview

Packaging and Accessories
The majority of ASUS ROG packaging is their new black and red accented scheme. We’re really pleased they go for white packaging for their white Z790 Maximus Formula. It still looks clean and crisp and would go well on a shelf. The keen-eyed amongst you will have noted we’ve had to blur some bits. You know what we’ve blurred, but those are the rules.
Even the stickers are white and silver. Considering how much extra expense this must entail, it’s a nice touch. Little details done well give confidence that the bigger things have been too.
Quick start guides have a bad reputation, never quite giving enough detail and assuming a lot of knowledge. The Formula switches things up by being a proper manual, just without all the fluff we ignore.
If you want a full manual for strange error codes and the like, then it and the drivers are on this handy ROG USB stick. Once you’ve copied it across somewhere safe, free branded USB. Lovely.
The shape of the WiFi antenna will be familiar, but the connection method has been improved. Rather than screw it in and hope all is well, it’s literal plug and play. Think RCA jacks in WiFi form.
On the next page we’ll go over it all in detail, but for now here is a nice overview of the ASUS ROG Z790 Maximus Formula, and you can see how sparkly white it is.
