Key features:
The Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Apex Wi-Fi is a high-performance ATX motherboard designed for 13th and 14th generation Intel processors with LGA 1851 socket and the advanced Intel Z890 chipset. It supports DDR5 RAM with excellent overclocking capabilities, making it ideal for enthusiasts and overclockers. It features built-in Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port for ultra-fast connectivity, as well as multiple USB 4.0 and USB-C ports for extensive support of modern peripherals. The M.2 PCIe 5.0 slots ensure top storage speeds, while the advanced cooling system and premium construction materials guarantee maximum stability. It is aimed at gamers, content creators, and professionals who demand cutting-edge performance and customization options.
AI Networking II combines smart technologies for continuous optimization of network performance, providing reliable and seamless connectivity, and fully unleashing the speed of WiFi 7.
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. The predicted values can be automatically engaged or used as a starting point for further experimentation.
A proprietary ASUS algorithm reduces unnecessary noise during a quick stress test and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust the fans to optimal speeds.
The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors effectively accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost allows you to do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with a single click, increasing performance by up to 24%.
Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing that is leveraged from a location that is not ideal, leading to a large discrepancy between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported in software. The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex features differential sensing circuitry and a fine-tuned integrated circuit that simplify overclocking and tuning, allowing you to monitor voltages more accurately.
ROG has a long legacy of pushing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Thanks to improved signal routing, enthusiast-grade kits have now been driven up to 9 GT/s on the Maximus Z890 Apex, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by experimenting with the extensive range of tuning options in the UEFI. The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex is also equipped with the ROG Memory Fan Kit - a cooling solution for stabilizing DDR5 stability and unleashing memory overclocking. With the ROG Memory Fan Kit, DDR5 modules can push the limits and reach overclocking speeds of 9000+ MT/s.
DIMM Fit offers top performance, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing steady stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and hardware configuration.
DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock DDR5 memory modules. It uses specialized circuits that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings. When temperatures are nominal, it can use the extra headroom to increase speeds and performance. And when temperatures rise, it can adjust the memory's behavior downward to maintain stability.
An extensive array of headers allows precise control and monitoring of cooling.
Multiple temperature sources: Each header can be configured to monitor and react to thermal sensors that can be user-configured for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
4-pin fan headers: Each onboard header supports automatic detection of DC or PWM fans.
AIO pump header: A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained liquid cooling setup.
The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex features three PCIe® 5.0 M.2 slots and one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot onboard, which support ROG M.2 PowerBoost to ensure that each onboard M.2 device can operate simultaneously with optimal performance.
Both x16 expansion slots offer PCIe 5.0 with incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices, fully supporting next-generation graphics cards. To withstand the weight of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets that can be easily released, thanks to the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.
The dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5, and 6GHz bands for faster performance, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
Each port provides up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest devices and ultra-fast drives. The Thunderbolt display function supports up to 8K with DSC. Refer to the specifications for more details. Two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C® ports on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero ONE USB 20Gbps & ONE USB 10Gbps TYPE-C.
The front panel USB 20 Gbps socket features Quick Charge 4+ technology that can quickly charge devices up to 60 W.
