There are only a few places where the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC) - ATX Motherboard
Is available, most places say either out of stock or Sold out!
One place even says “Discontinued! This item is currently discontinued and at present, we have no replacement on order.”

https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=68621

Is it because of high demand or is something wrong with them?

I found a place very close to me that says “arriving soon” so I’ll probably go and pick one up from there, any advice on this please?

I’ve got the rest of the components; this is the last piece to get.
Win 10 RS-4 not compatible with Intel DX58SO motherboard

@bordi, if it must be the one with Wi-Fi(I have the one without): ASUS Maximus X HERO Wi-Fi, Intel Z370 Mainboard, RoG - â€¦ | CASEKING.de

Their affiliate in UK is currently out of stock though: â–· Asus ROG Maximus X Hero (WI-FI AC) Intel Z370 (Socket 1151) â€¦ | OcUK
You could call them though, and see they can get you the one form Case King(Germany) being OCUK is owned by them.

Thanks mate; most places have the ones without the Wi-Fi but ones with Wi-Fi seem to be difficult to get hold of and I was curious why that was.
I guess it must be because of high demand

I personally don't want to use WI-FI(WLAN) unless I need to, and don't want a card for it in my machine(waste of PCIe juice

), as it could be a security problem no matter how well you set it up. I also just prefer to be wired.

You all Know it's not 2017 now........

Just got my 8700k (delidded) & an ASUS TUF z370 gaming plus. Hopefully i will get some tweak time soon. (runs @4.8GHz without any tweaks)

How is everyone else finding the 8700k?

Ordered these F4-3600C16D-16GTZR delivery for tomorrow
First they said there would be a delay in delivery then they said it’s on its way
Had a look in case the price was reduced for January sales so I could maybe get another two
And they increased the price from £239.47 to £285.23 even before they got delivered
Good job the price increase doesn’t affect me

Crazy prices on Ram these days
