Designed for gaming enthusiasts looking for robust connectivity and enhanced performance, the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME LGA 1700 E-ATX Motherboard enables seasoned builders to leverage the power of Intel's 13th and 12th Gen processors as well as resource-demanding gaming components.

An LGA 1700 socket allows you to install a wide range of Intel Core processors with ease. Four DDR5 DIMM slots allow you to utilize the enhanced speed and performance needed for gaming as well as editing and replaying your favorite in-game moments. Six SATA III and five M.2 interfaces allow you to install an array of storage drives, creating a massive library for your titles, video assets, and more. Install graphics and utility cards with the two PCIe 5.0 x16 and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. A wide range of USB ports allows you to plug in your favorite peripherals such as keyboards, mice, audio interfaces, and more with USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 2x2 support. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports offer up to 40 Gb/s data transfer speeds as well as DisplayPort video out and Power Delivery so you can easily set up additional displays, connect external storage arrays, and more. Bluetooth 5.2 functionality is available for wireless devices like headsets and controllers. Connect to your network wirelessly with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) for a quick and reliable cable-free experience. Two RJ45 ethernet ports enable teaming functions and greater network performance with both 2.5 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Overclocking

Enhanced overclocking capabilities allow you to increase performance manually or automatically. AI Overclocking, an array of hardware-level controls, and Differential Sensing assist in managing voltage and electrical output. The ROG True Voltician is a miniature oscilloscope that connects to the header and delivers real-time information so you can properly monitor your system.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized profiles with higher frequency and tighter timings that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

Cooling

Enlarged VRM and aluminum I/O heat sink, M.2 heat sinks, high-conductivity thermal pads, chipset heat sink, and solid metal backplates enhance cooling capabilities to keep your components cool under heavy loads. Multiple temperature sources enable you to properly measure and monitor thermal performance. The ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME also includes dedicated Water-Cooling Zones and a Fan Controller that supports various liquid coolers and fan systems.

PCIe 5.0

Experience lightning-fast performance with a wide range of PCIe 5.0 slots for your onboard M.2 storage slots, two M.2 slots on the ROG DIMM.2 expansion card, and both PCIe x16 expansion slots, adding greater bandwidth for your components.

Connectivity

Two Thunderbolt 4 ports deliver up to 40 Gb/s of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gb/s. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 adds an additional lane that can boost Type-C data transfers with speeds of up to 20 Gb/s. The port also features Quick Charge 4+ technology that can quickly charge devices up to 60W.

Audio

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME implementation features the ALC4082 codec and ESS ES9218 QUAD DAC for high-resolution playback across all channels. Unique design allows the codec's impedance-sensing function to be ported with either the front or rear headphone outputs.

Customization Options

ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME 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. The motherboard includes LiveDash, a built-in 2-inch color OLED panel that adds color and flavor to your system. It can also show POST codes and assist in monitoring your system.

DIY-Designed

ASUS developed the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME to include a wide variety of integrated improvements designed to ease the installation process of the motherboard as well as components. PCIe Slot Q-Release and M.2 Q-Latch enable easy installation and removal of GPUs and solid-state drives. Clear CMOS and BIOS Flashback offer easy diagnosis and upgrading of the hardware's firmware. Streamline troubleshooting processes with Q-Code which tells you if and what is causing system issues upon startup. You also get dual-BIOS settings with the ability to swap between multiple setups designed for specific user scenarios.

Software Utilities

A suite of integrated software utilities enables you to optimize your system. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation uses artificial intelligence to adjust incoming and outcoming audio for a clear sound. AI Networking GameFirst VI maximizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth to your system for better connectivity. UEFI BIOS, AI Suite 3, Sonic Studio III, DTS Sound Unbound, Armoury Crate suite, and a sixty-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription all offer additional options and settings so you can easily adjust your system to your liking.
