ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO LGA1851 ATX Motherboard – DDR5 up to 9200+ (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, Wi-Fi 7 + BT 5.4, 5GbE + 2.5GbE LAN, 6x M.2 (3x PCIe 5.0), Dual Thunderbolt 4 | 90MB1ID0-M0EAY0

Extreme Power & Performance

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero unleashes the performance of Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) via exclusive AI PC technologies, robust power delivery, optimized thermal management, extensive PCIe 5.0 support, DDR5 slots and Wi-Fi 7. Twenty-two 110A Vcore power stages plus 1+2 SOC and 2 Misc stages with dual ProCool II connectors, 10K black metallic capacitors and MicroFine alloy chokes deliver clean, stable power. Differential sensing with a delicate IC lets you track voltages accurately for smarter overclocking, NPU Boost overclocks the integrated NPU with one click for up to 24% more AI workflow performance, and the Extreme OC Kit provides FlexKey, ReTry and a start button.

ASUS AI Intelligence

AI Overclocking makes tuning faster and smarter than ever, AI Cooling II balances the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click, AI Networking II continuously optimizes network performance to unleash the full speed of Wi-Fi 7, and ASUS AI Advisor answers natural-language questions about your motherboard’s advanced features.

DDR5 Domination — Beyond 9200 MT/s

Four DIMM slots support up to 256GB with improved signal routing that drives enthusiast-grade kits far beyond the 9 GT/s mark — up to 9200+ MT/s (OC) — with Clocked Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM) support. NitroPath DRAM Technology raises frequency up to 400 MT/s higher with 57% stronger slot retention force, DIMM Fit precisely analyzes individual memory modules, DIMM Flex boosts performance or addresses stability based on temperature, and AEMP III empowers unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM. A DDR5 fan holder is included in the box.

Extensive Gen 5 & Storage

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot with PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim fully supports next-gen graphics cards running x16 or x8/x4/x4, joined by a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and a PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. ROG M.2 PowerBoost enables all M.2 devices to operate simultaneously at optimal performance across six onboard M.2 slots — three PCIe 5.0 x4 (one 22110) and three PCIe 4.0 x4 — plus a SlimSAS connector supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 or up to four SATA devices, and four SATA 6Gb/s ports, all kept cool by M.2 heatsinks with backplates and a metal backplate.

Connectivity — Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7 & Dual LAN

Dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports deliver 40Gbps with DisplayPort output up to 8K@60Hz, joined by five USB 10Gbps ports (four Type-A, one Type-C) and four USB 5Gbps ports on the rear panel. Front-panel connectors include USB 20Gbps Type-C with up to 60W PD/QC4+ fast charging and USB 10Gbps Type-C. Realtek 5Gb Ethernet plus Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet with LANGuard provide flexible high-speed wired networking, while Wi-Fi 7 at 320MHz with 4096-QAM delivers up to 4.8X faster wireless with the ASUS Q-Antenna, plus Bluetooth 5.4. ROG SupremeFX ALC4082 7.1 audio with an ESS ES9219 QUAD DAC, gold-plated jacks, premium capacitors and optical S/PDIF delivers flagship-grade sound.

EZ PC DIY & Personalization

M.2 Q-Release, M.2 Q-Slide and M.2 Q-Latch make SSD installation tool-free, PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim ejects graphics cards with a tilt, and the pre-mounted I/O shield safeguards ports. Q-Code diagnostics, rear Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack buttons, BIOS Q-Dashboard, ASUS DriverHub, and Armoury Crate with AIDA64 Extreme and Dolby Atmos complete the experience. Angular design elements and Polymo II Lighting accents around the ROG logo deliver a signature aesthetic, synchronized across compatible ROG gear with Aura Sync — with an ARGB extension cable, ROG stickers and bottle opener in the box.
