ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO LGA1851 ATX Motherboard, 4x DIMM slots, max. 192GB, DDR5, 6x M.2 slots and 4x SATA 6Gb/s, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7 & BT | 90MB1ID0-M0EAY0

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero marks the beginning of a new era for the Republic of Gamers. Specifically optimized for the Intel Z890 chipset and the transition to the LGA 1851 socket, this motherboard is designed to harness the integrated NPU and advanced architecture of Intel Core Ultra processors. Whether you are accelerating creative AI workflows or seeking the highest possible frame rates in competitive gaming, the Z890 Hero provides the bandwidth and intelligent tuning to push your hardware further.
 

Elite Power Delivery & NitroPath DRAM
To fuel the high-efficiency architecture of the Intel Ultra series, the Hero features a sophisticated 22+1+2+2 power stage design rated for high amperage. It also introduces NitroPath DRAM technology, which optimizes the memory traces for significantly improved DDR5 overclocking stability and signal integrity. This ensures that even high-density memory kits can reach their peak advertised speeds (8000+ MT/s) with ease.
 

Next-Gen Connectivity: WiFi 7 and Thunderbolt 4
Networking reaches a new frontier with onboard WiFi 7, offering ultra-wide 320MHz channels and 4K-QAM for wireless speeds that challenge wired connections. For physical connectivity, the board is equipped with Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, providing 40Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for high-resolution displays and pro-grade peripherals. The rear I/O is rounded out with a 5Gb and 2.5Gb dual Ethernet setup, ensuring lag-free networking in any environment.
 

Intelligent DIY Features
ASUS continues to lead in "DIY-Friendly" design. The Z890 Hero features PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, which allows you to remove the graphics card by simply pulling it from the front—no more fumbling for latches in tight spaces. It also includes the M.2 Q-Release and Q-Latch systems for tool-less SSD installation. Visually, the board is dominated by the upgraded Polymo Lighting II, which provides more vibrant and customizable ROG-themed animations on the I/O shroud.
 

Why the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero Stands Out
LGA 1851 Native: Built specifically for the future of Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors.

AI Advanced Performance: Integrated AI Overclocking, AI Cooling, and AI Networking.

Extreme Storage: Onboard support for up to 6x M.2 slots (3x PCIe 5.0).

Premium Audio: SupremeFX ALC4082 with ESS® ES9219 QUAD DAC for high-fidelity sound.
