Extreme Power & Performance
ASUS AI
INTELLIGENCE
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*.
ai OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.
AI COOLING II

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.
Performance 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%.
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.
DDR5 DOMINATION
Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 9 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero*.
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.

DIMM FLEX
DIMM Flex employs specialized circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings.

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.
