The top-tier full-size motherboard from ASU's flagship ROG MAXIMUS product line. The model is based on the top-end Intel Z790 system logic, equipped with an LGA 1700 processor socket and is designed to install a 4/6/8/12/16-core Intel Core chip, released in the 12th or 13th generation. With a powerful 21-phase memory subsystem with cooling for key components, as well as many additional tools for testing and overclocking, this model will be an excellent choice for a high-end gaming system or workstation for graphics processing, 3D modeling, etc.

In particular, the board supports AI Overclocking technology, which helps to quickly find the optimal ratio between the frequency and temperature of the processor, can instantly switch from manual CPU overclocking to automatic Precision Boost Overdrive, and is also friendly with XMP 3.0 technology, sharpened for overclocking the new standard RAM DDR5. The technical capabilities of the board allow you to install up to 128 GB of fast DDR5 RAM with a maximum clock speed.

The available slots allow you to install 4 RAM modules with a maximum frequency of 7800 MHz (maximum 128 GB), a powerful video card of the GeForce RTX 3090 level and 5 high-speed SSDs with support for the PCI-E 5.0 bus. The presence of 6 SATA3 slots makes it possible to organize a serious RAID array on the basis of the board. For high-quality sound, the built-in ROG SupremeFX DAC with a built-in amplifier from Saber and support for the ALC4082 codec is responsible.

Instant processing of network traffic is provided by a specialized Intel LAN controller with a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps. The presence of a large number of connectors for LED strips and water pumps unleashes the possibilities when assembling a gaming PC with an open viewing window, dropsy and complex RGB illumination. The board also features new USB-C ports with Thunderbolt support and the ability to output images to an external monitor.

ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero ATX Motherboard for Intel LGA1700 CPUs

Buffed and ready with more power, robust cooling, and flexible I/O to scale up your rig at will. The ROG Maximus Z790 Hero pu... morets it all at your disposal together with an arsenal of features and utilities to truly express the PC builder, overclocker, and gaming hero in you. PERFORMANCE Utilize the Hero’s immense power and control to take your 13th Gen CPU and DDR5 memory kit to the next level. ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES Psyche up and engage the Hero overclocker in you, with onboard intelligence to scan, predict, and adapt CPU performance parameters, and tools to command and track system vitals. TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance. MEMORY Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked. COOLING Stacked with titanic heatsink arrays and surging with controls for liquid- and air-cooled setups, the Hero is fully armed to combat the fiery heat of the latest processors and high-speed drives. COOLER BY DESIGN The ROG Maximus Z790 Hero features an upgraded cooling solution. VRM and aluminum I/O heatsink A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation. M.2 heatsink and backplates Large aluminum heatsinks provide extensive surface area to cool mounted M.2 drives, and each of the three onboard slots has a dedicated backplate for additional heat dissipation. High-conductivity thermal pads Each thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink. For future maintenance, a replacement thermal pad can also be found in the package. Solid steel backplate A plate of electro-galvanized steel strengthens the spine of the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero to prevent bending. Chipset heatsink A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from the chipset to maintain optimum operating temperature. THERMAL MANAGEMENT An extensive array of headers line the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero for precise cooling control and monitoring. Multiple temperature sources - Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. 4-pin fan headers - In addition to the pair of CPU fan headers, the Maximus Z790 Hero features four chassis headers, and each supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.N/AN/AA BRIEF HISTORYN/AASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry and they are still used for similar purposes today.N/AN/AA SHIFT IN CPU DEMANDSN/AModern CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition they consume less power at idle and can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.N/AN/ABUCKING THE TRENDN/AFortunately the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.N/AN/ATHERMAL PERFORMANCEN/AEach VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and phase-doublers control the circuit and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. The power stages feature low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses helping to improve overall thermal headroom.N/AN/AHIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTSN/AN/AMEMORYN/AComprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules regardless of if they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.N/AN/ADDR5 DOMINATIONN/AROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 7 GT/s mark on the Maximus Z790 Hero
