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 Intel Z790 LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard Buffed and ready with more power, robust cooling, and flexi... moreble I/O to scale up your rig at will. The ROG Maximus Z790 Hero puts 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. 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. A BRIEF HISTORY ASUS 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. A SHIFT IN CPU DEMANDS Modern 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. BUCKING THE TREND Fortunately, 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. THERMAL PERFORMANCE Each 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. HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS 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. DDR5 DOMINATION ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now
