ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX LGA1851 DDR5 Motherboard, 2x DIMM slots, max.128GB, DDR5 up to 9600+ MT/s (OC), 6x M.2 slots and 4 x SATA 6Gb/s, Wi-Fi 7, BT v5.4, White | 90MB1IP0-M0EAY0

The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex is designed for those who view performance as an art form. While other boards focus on broad features, the Apex is laser-focused on one thing: speed. By utilizing a 2-DIMM DDR5 slot configuration, it reduces signal interference, allowing overclockers to reach memory speeds well beyond standard 4-DIMM boards. This specialized white-themed board is the premier platform for the Intel Z890 chipset, offering a seamless blend of extreme power and "AI PC" intelligence.

Elite Power Delivery & Extreme Cooling
To handle the high-efficiency power profiles of Intel’s latest Core Ultra CPUs, the Z890 Apex utilizes a massive 22+1+2+2 power stage architecture. Each stage is rated for high amperage to provide clean, stable voltage during heavy benchmarking or gaming. The thermal solution is equally aggressive, featuring massive VRM heatsinks connected by an embedded heatpipe, plus three M.2 heatsinks and a specialized ROG DIMM.2 card to keep your high-speed Gen5 storage from throttling.

AI-Enhanced Performance & "AI PC" Ready
This motherboard is built for the era of AI. It features ASUS AI Advisor, an intelligent assistant that helps with BIOS tuning, alongside AI Overclocking II, which analyzes your CPU and cooling system to find the optimal frequency. For daily use, AI Cooling II and AI Networking II ensure that your system remains whisper-quiet and lag-free by dynamically adjusting fans and traffic priority based on real-time data.

Connectivity: WiFi 7, 5Gb LAN, and Thunderbolt 4
Despite its focus on overclocking, the Apex doesn't skimp on modern I/O. It features WiFi 7 for ultra-fast wireless throughput and the new 5Gb Ethernet port for high-speed wired networking. The rear I/O is packed with high-speed ports, including Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 (40Gbps) and multiple USB 10Gbps ports, making it as capable for content creation as it is for competitive gaming.

Why the ROG Maximus Z890 Apex (White) Stands Out
Overclocker’s 2-DIMM Design: Optimized memory traces for record-breaking DDR5 frequencies.

LGA 1851 Native: Built for the future of Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processing.

Premium White Aesthetic: A rare, clean-white PCB and heatsink design for elite builds.

ROG Overclocker’s Toolkit: Physical buttons and switches for LN2 modes, safe boots, and re-tries.
