Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO BTF DDR5 Intel Motherboard

ROG Maximus Z890 HERO BTF

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF features hidden connectors for motherboard power, graphics card power, USB ports and fan cables, enabling an ultra-clean build for your Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) rig. Like the standard Z890 Hero, it also boasts ASUS-exclusive AI-enhanced tuning, DIY-friendly innovations, PCIe® 5.0, and DDR5 slots with NitroPath DRAM Technology that enables advanced memory overclocking headroom and stability. Meanwhile, Polymo Lighting II elevates your overall system aesthetic.

 

Advanced BTF Design

With the combination of a BTF graphics card, motherboard and chassis, you can enjoy a full hidden-connector experience. This Advanced BTF approach is achieved through the new graphics card high-power slot available on BTF motherboards, which can deliver up to 600 watts to BTF graphics cards. With a full set of BTF components, builders can eliminate visible cables for an extra-clean aesthetic.

 

HIDDEN-CONNECTOR DESIGN

The hidden-connector design can be ideal for first-time builders, because it provides easier cable management. The absence of visible cables also creates a clean and tidy look that would normally require an expert.

 

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*.

 

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.

 

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 BTF features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.

 

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.

 

M.2 SLOTS WITH ROG M.2 POWERBOOST

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF features ROG M.2 PowerBoost, which enables all M.2 devices to 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.

 

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.
