AI Overclocking

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.

PCIE 5.0

M.2 Slots

The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex features four onboard M.2 slots, three of which are PCIe 5.0-ready to offer blistering 16 GB/s speeds, while the other slot offers still-impressive 8 GB/s through the PCIe 4.0 interface.

Expansion slots

Both x16 expansion slots offer 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, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets which can be released easily, thanks to PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.

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.

DDR5 Domination

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven as far as 9 GT/s on the Maximus Z890 Apex. Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.

VRM heatsink array

VRM heatsinks on the MOSFETs and chokes are connected by an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.
