Will this fit a triple wide graphics card like a RTX 2080 Ti comfortably?

I’ve built two systems so far with triple-fan RTX 2080 TI cards. No problems. Just be sure your case is wide enough and has really good air flow. I used Fractal Design Meshify S2 Black ATX Modular High-Airflow Dark Tint Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case for both builds.

probably a really stupid question but does this thing have a display port? ive tried looking around to find one in pics but havent been able to. If not does it support 144hz on monitors?

No. There's an HDMI port. If you want DP then you'll need to get a video card with DP.

Does the ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII support Intel i9 9900 Coffee Lake?

No, the i9 9900 uses the older 1151 LGA and 300 series chipsets.

What 3600MHz (32gbX4) works with this motherboard as pictured? I’ve tried G.Skill’s and the enabling of XMP 2 causes lots of BSOD and exe file to fault!

Refer to the motherboard memory marketing with 4 X 32gb 3600MHz memory for the picture reference.

So i have seen some unboxing videos of this board. I have noticed the motherboard doesn't come in a anti static bag. So does the box come shrink wrapped or tapped shut? Just worried of getting one that has been tampered with is all.

It’s taped shut and has an anti-static sheet under the mb.

Is there any problem fitting triple wide GPU card (2080 Ti)?

I’ve built two systems so far with triple-fan RTX 2080 TI cards. No problems. Just be sure your case is wide enough and has really good air flow. I used Fractal Design Meshify S2 Black ATX Modular High-Airflow Dark Tint Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case for both builds.

After spending a fortune on a completely new PC, spending over 72 hours awake waiting to beat the resellers to the i9 unlocked processor... Not I've read that this board DOES NOT work with my PCIe 4.0 parts?? Is this incorrect or am I going to have to buy new parts again?

The 10900k has no pci4 support so currently it doesnt matter if the board supports it. Its possible 11th gen intel will stick with LGA1200 and also support pci4. So yes if you want to future proof then go with a different board. If you require PCI4 now you will have to go with AMD.
