Asus AI Intelligence- Asus AI Advisor - Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.
- 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.
- 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
Overclocking- NPU Boost - The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%
- Overclocker’s Toolkit - The ROG Overclocker’s Tooklit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.
- Differential Sensing - Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn't ideal, leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported to software. The ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.
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 Extreme
- 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.
-
AEMP III - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory.
-
DIMM FLEX - DIMM Flex employs specialized circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings.
ROG STRIX Ultimate Power Design- 8 + 8-pin ProCool II power connectors - Dual ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
- 24+1+2+2 power stages - The VRM features 24+1+2+2 power stages, each rated to handle up to 110 amps
-
10K black metallic capacitors - Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated for high operating temperatures.
- MicroFine alloy chokes - Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
Cooling- 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.
- 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.
- 3D VC M.2 Heatsink - The 3D vapor chamber M.2 heatsink offers a larger heat dissipation area, connected to extended heat pipes through a temperature equalization plate to form a vacuum chamber, significantly improving cooling for PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs.
- Chipset heatsink - A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from the chipset to maintain optimum operating temperature.
- M.2 heatsinks and backplates - Large aluminum heatsinks provide extensive surface area to cool mounted M.2 drives, and four onboard M.2 slots have dedicated backplates for additional heat dissipation.
- Thermal Management - Multiple temperature sources, 4-pin fan headers.
- Cooler Compatibility - ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new Z890 motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.
