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.
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 Hero features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.
M.2 SLOTS WITH
ROG M.2 POWERBOOST
The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero features three PCIe® 5.0 M.2 slots and three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots onboard, all of which support ROG M.2 PowerBoost to help ensure that every onboard M.2 device can operate simultaneously at optimal performance.
PCIE 5.0 EXPANSION SLOT
The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot with PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim fully supports next-gen graphics cards.
