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.

AI OVERCLOCKING

Armoury Crate’s Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button* for improved network performance.

*The “Channel Switch” function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the “Router IP” section of the Traffic Monitor.

Fast Check

Armoury Crate’s Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength.

Direction Finder

Armoury Crate’s Direction Finder* helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for achieving the best WiFi signal strength.

*The Direction Finder is only compatible with connections in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands

GameFirst

GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various application customizable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest latency possible during intense game streamingcloud gaming sessions. To provide a better user’s experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate.

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 far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero, 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.

M.2 SLOTS WITH ROG M.2 POWERBOOST

SIX ONBOARD M.2 SLOTS

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero features six onboard M.2 slots, three of which are PCIe 5.0-ready to offer blistering 16 GB/s speeds, while the others offer still-impressive 8 GB/s over PCIe 4.0 interfaces. It also features a SlimSAS connector, which supports PCIe 4.0 x4 mode or up to 4 SATA devices via a transfer cable. The cable is purchased separately.

ROG M.2 POWERBOOST

ROG M.2 PowerBoost is an exclusive ASUS motherboard feature that provides amperage exceeding industry standards, supporting all six onboard M.2 slots to operate simultaneously at optimal performance. This advanced power setup helps ensure stability and data integrity even under high loads, while also helping to ensure the rated lifespan of an M.2 SSD.

PCIE 5.0 EXPANSION SLOT

The primary x16 expansion slot offers PCIe 5.0 with incredible speeds up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices, fully supporting next-gen graphics cards. To bear the weight of massive graphics cards, it is also protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket which can be released easily, thanks to PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.

EZ PC DIY

PCIE SLOT Q-RELEASE SLIM

Simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot.

M.2 Q-RELEASE

The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws.

NEW M.2 Q-LATCH

Tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.

M.2 Q-SLIDE

The new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260, and 2280 for easy device installation.

Q-ANTENNA

With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
