ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO Motherboard

ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero unleashes the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 2) via exclusive AI PC technologies, robust power delivery, optimized thermal management, extensive PCIe® 5.0 support, DDR5 slots, and WiFi 7. Meanwhile, angular design elements and Polymo II Lighting accents around the ROG logo deliver a signature aesthetic that elevates system design.

ASUS AI INTELLIGENCE

• AI NETWORKING II: AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7*.
• AI OVERCLOCKING: Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.
• AI COOLING II: Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

MEMORY

• DDR5 DOMINATION: Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero*.
• NitroPath DRAM Technology: Frequency up to 400 MT/s higher
• Slot retention force enhanced by 57%
• DIMM FIT: DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues.
• DIMM FLEX: DIMM Flex employs specialized circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings.

ROG Ultimate Power Solution

• 22(110A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) Power Stages
• MicroFine alloy chokes: Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
• 10K black metallic capacitors: Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.
• 8 + 8-pin ProCool II power connectors: Dual ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.

COOLING

• 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.
• 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 heatsinks and backplates: Large aluminum heatsinks provide extensive surface area to cool mounted M.2 drives, and four of six onboard M.2 slots have dedicated backplates for additional heat dissipation.
• Chipset heatsink: A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from the chipset to maintain optimum operating temperature.

M.2 SLOTS WITH M.2 POWERBOOST

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero features three PCIe® 5.0 M.2 slots and three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots onboard, all of which support ROG M.2 PowerBoost to help ensure that every onboard M.2 device can operate simultaneously at optimal performance.
