An extremely powerful, state-of-the-art motherboard for extreme overclockers from the 2022 ROG MAXIMUS series. Refers to the oversized E-ATX format most commonly found on server-level motherboards. Based on the flagship Intel Z790 system logic, equipped with an Intel LGA 1700 processor socket, designed to work in tandem with Intel Core hybrid processors from the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake families. The manufacturer is positioning itself as a flagship product aimed at overclocking veterans who can get maximum performance by fine-tuning system parameters manually. A powerful 25-phase power subsystem is focused on building Hi-End gaming systems with an overclocked Core i9 processor and a top-end GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. The technical capabilities of the board allow you to install up to...128 GB of fast DDR5 RAM with a maximum clock frequency of 7800 MHz and several .2 PCI-E 5.0 SSDs. The presence of 6 SATA3 connectors and a built-in RAID controller makes it possible to organize a high-speed RAID array with a gigantic amount of internal storage on the basis of the board. Like all representatives of the MAXIMUS series, the model has a serious set of overclocking tools, including the AI Overclocking software package, a manual / automatic overclocking switch for the CPU, profiles with RAM settings (XMP 3.0), Dual BIOS, a built-in ROG True Voltician oscilloscope, a display for displaying post-codes, additional LED indicators and much more. Instant processing of network traffic is provided by a dual LAN controller from Intel and Marvell, with an additional wireless Wi-Fi 6E module. The presence of a large number of connectors for LED strips and water pumps frees your hands when assembling a gaming PC with an open viewing window, dropsy and complex RGB illumination. The board also provides USB-C ports of the new standard 3.2 gen2x2 with support for fast 6-watt charging and Thunderbolt protocol.
