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.

GRAPHICS CARD HIGH-POWER SLOT

The graphics card high-power slot stands ready to supply all the wattage that a BTF graphics card needs. This special design can deliver up to 600 watts through the motherboard itself, eliminating the need for visible 8-pin or 16-pin power cables on the front.

AI OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.

AI OVERCLOCKING

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

AI COOLING II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

AI COOLING II

A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

Performance OVERCLOCKING | Dynamic OC Switcher

Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways.

Core Flex

In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

Asynchronous Clock

For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed.

Asynchronous Clock

Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.

PBO ENHANCEMENT

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance.

PBO ENHANCEMENT

By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
