Providing greater electrostatic protection than the industry standard, ESD Guards cover the USB, audio and LAN ports. Configure the fan's operating speed manually or use pre-configured Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes. By default, system fans will automatically switch to full speed if the temperature reaches 75° C. Ultimately, although Asus only slightly upgraded last year's model, it was enough to create one of the best boards for Intel's current processors. We at the Republic of Gamers are on a mission to create a sustainable future where all gamers can flourish on the planet we call home.Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance. The ESS ES9218 integrated QUAD DAC amplifier is capable of providing -114 dB total harmonic distortion (THD+N) for standard audio devices, and it can ramp up to 2Vrms on supported audiophile hardware. In addition, the 121 dB dynamic range (DNR) provides an extremely low noise-floor, further accentuating dynamics and punch. 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. Next-Gen M.2 Support: PCIe ® 5.0 M.2 slot on the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 card, and four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots all with substantial cooling solutions

Instead of the conventional high definition audio (HDA) interface, the ALC4082 codec uses a USB interface to deliver studio-level sound reaching up to 32-bit 384 kHz audio resolution. This product is suitable for those that live and breathe the ASUS ROG DNA and want nothing but the best... The RAM support for ROG Z790 Maximus Hero should be evaluated separately. Because the new Hero pushes the limits in this regard. Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
The equipment is very rich, there is a sufficient number of both PCIe and M.2 slots, but here the AMD platform is still a bit more advanced compared to Intel. The audio unit is excellent, and we can blame Asus for failing to include a more powerful LAN controller as a competitor. A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.

Optimized VRM Thermals: Massive heatsinks integrated with the I/O cover, joined by an L-shaped heatpipe, and connected to the power stages with high-conductivity thermal padsThe ROG Maximus Z790 Hero features three onboard M.2 slots, all of which can deliver impressive read and write speeds of up to 8 GB/s. Now, AEMP II offers even more flexibility. With the latest firmware update, AEMP II allows users to optimize the performance of a four-DIMM DDR5 RAM configuration, even with a mixture of different brands and dies. Increasing the memory capacity of your build by adding additional DIMMs has never been easier — with AEMP II, you can get optimized memory performance even when all four memory modules are not an exact match, provided that all four DIMMs have the same capacity.
