ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 EXTREME LGA 1851 E-ATX Motherboard

Product Description

The ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme makes an undeniable claim for itself as one of the best Z890 motherboards you can buy. A flagship motherboard in every sense of the word, this is the Z890 motherboard for those who dare to want it all.

Ready to push an Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) CPU to its limits? The ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme will take you there. The board features an 8-layer PCB with 2-oz copper layers for elevated signal integrity. Its robust VRM architecture gives you a rock-solid foundation with 24+1+2+2 power stages, 10K metallic capacitors, solid-pin connectors, and high-permeability MicroFine alloy chokes.

Premium cooling options keep your PC humming under demanding workloads. Beefy heatsinks keep the VRMs and chipsets operating comfortably, while plentiful headers for chassis fans and AIO liquid CPU coolers put you in command of your PC’s airflow. To unleash your system’s primary SSD, the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme keeps it cool with the 3D VC M.2 Heatsink. A 3D vapor chamber and extended heat pipes allow for enhanced heat exchange across multiple chambers, making this heatsink capable of handling even top-end PCIe 5.0 SSDs with higher power consumption.

DRAM slots equipped with NitroPath DRAM Technology stand ready for the most advanced DDR5 kits on the market. This motherboard offers four onboard M.2 slots, a whopping three of which are wired for PCIe 5.0 SSDs, and you can easily install two more PCIe 4.0 SSDs with the ROG Q-DIMM.2 add-in card. Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots are ready for the best graphics cards of today and tomorrow. For enthusiasts with workflows that can be accelerated via a pair of GPUs working in tandem, these slots can run in an x8/x8 configuration.

Let’s talk connectivity. On this motherboard’s rear I/O panel, you’ll find dual onboard Thunderbolt 5 ports, a USB 20Gbps Type-C port, and a total of 7 USB 10Gbps ports. With headers that can support up to ten more USB ports on the front panel of your chassis, you’ll run out of desk space for your peripherals before you run out of spots to plug them in. An Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet port and a Marvell AQtion 10Gb Ethernet port give you stunningly fast connections to your local network and network-attached devices. But with premium WiFi 7 support, you might not even feel the need to rely on wired networking options.

For unrivaled gaming immersion, the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme offers a SupremeFX 7.1 Surround Sound audio solution with integrated amplifiers and op-amps. The audio circuit design uses premium capacitors, interference shielding, and discrete traces for the left and right channels. Auto impedance detection lets you use even high-impedance audiophile headphones and get crystal-clear, distortion-free output. An ESS ES9219 Quad DAC pumps top-notch audio to the front-panel output with support for 32-bit/384 kHz playback, perfect for plugging in a high-end headset.

A board this premium has earned its right to a few luxuries. Styled in classic, refined black and charcoal hues, the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme makes a stunning statement. We layered a mirrored finish atop the wide chipset heatsink and inset across its face an expanse of silver sheen complemented by intricate logo embossing.

Over the years, we’ve offered many ways to personalize the look of your motherboard, but the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme offers our most customizable option yet. This motherboard puts you in charge with a 5-inch LCD panel across the I/O shroud. Made with Corning glass for unparalleled surface display quality, this panel is ready to display exclusive ROG animations, real-time hardware information, and wealth of customizable options available through Armoury Crate.
