Can anyone confirm that this is the same motherboard ?

Looks like the Z390 MAXIMUS HERO XI replaced it. That time of year.

Who's gonna be the first brave soul to hackintosh the HERO XI? Should we just stick with the HERO X until then?

I'm sticking with MyHero II as I don't see the need to upgrade to a Z390 for my use day to day use. Heck! MyHero I still does everything I need very well.

I would wait a month or so if you have to get an updated system so as to let UniBeast & MultiBeast mature with Mojave and the Z390 motherboards and CPUs.

Good to hear! No rush for me either. I have the ASUS Hero X so I'm still good.

Are there any updates on the Maximus XI Hero Z390 board's compatibility with Hackintoshing? having trouble finding any guides.
