Asus simply launched its ROG Maximus Z790 Hero EVA-02 motherboard, and a display screen on its left reads “Evangenlion” as a substitute of “Evangelion.” Tragic, I do know. This can be a $US700 restricted version motherboard and is the second iteration the corporate has launched in collaboration with the wildly standard anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The typo can simply be noticed in a number of locations. You may see it proper on the product web page on Asus’ web site or on this unboxing video from JayzTwoCents. From the photographs, it appears to be like just like the typo is just on a display screen on the left aspect of the motherboard. The pink and orange colourway is impressed by Evangelion Unit 2, piloted by everybody’s favourite redhead, Asuka Langley Soryu
Whereas it’s an costly mistake to make, no less than the motherboard is a restricted version, so there are only some of those items. However since they’re restricted version, it’s additionally extremely unlikely that Asus goes to repair the difficulty. Additionally, the motherboard is bought out on the location anyway.
You may solely purchase a used model of it retailing for a few hundred bucks greater than the unique value. The humorous factor is that whereas that is fairly embarrassing, some customers assume it’s “endearing,” whereas others, like our personal Lead Editor and in-house Evangelion fan, Jorge Jimenez, say it “feels” like a mistake the anime’s fundamental hero, Shinji Ikari, would “make in a heartbeat after which spiral right into a deep despair for 3 episodes.”
Typo apart, the motherboard we’re speaking about is fairly hardcore by way of specs. You get a 20 + 1 + 2 VRM design, help for PCIe 5.0 SSDs, Wi-Fi 7, and a ton of USB ports. In truth, in keeping with Digital Tendencies, it’s the most effective motherboards you will get your fingers on.
