AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
DDR5 DOMINATION
ROG 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 as far as 8 GT/s on the Maximus Z790 Apex, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.
ROG WATER-COOLING ZONEDual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header feed information straight into Armoury Crate, allowing you to track coolant temperatures and the flow rate of the entire loop.
• WATER PUMP+A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to a high-performance PWM or DC water pump.
• WATER IN/OUTA dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.
• WATER FLOWA dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.
PCIE 5.0
• ONBOARD M.2 SLOTS
Two onboard PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with heatsinks keep high-performance storage cool.
• PCIE 5.0 M.2 CARD
The bundled ROG PCIe 5.0 M.2 Card offers access to a Gen 5-ready slot and robust heatsink coverage.
• ROG DIMM.2 CARD
The ROG DIMM.2 card allows you to easily mount two M.2 drives next to the memory slots, where its large heatsinks benefit directly from chassis airflow for prime cooling performance.
• EXPANSION SLOTS
Both of the x16 expansion slots have the PCIe 5.0 treatment to offer incredible speeds up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets, and the top slot can be released easily thanks to the Q-Release button.
AURA SYNC
GROW YOUR GAMING WORLD
ROG motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
