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%.
* The overclocking performance may vary depending on the CPU series and motherboard used.
** Testing was conducted with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K processor, ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme motherboard, GeForce RTX™ 4090 24GB graphics card, and XPG Lancer DDR5 memory modules (model AX5U6000C4016G).
-
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 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.
* Results may vary according to the capabilities of your CPU, graphics card, motherboard, and memory modules.
** The comparison chart is based on a test with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 245K processor, ROG MAXIMUS Z890 EXTREME motherboard, ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4090 OC Edition 24GB graphics card, and G.SKILL DDR5 memory modules (model F5-8800C4255H24GX2-TZ5CK). -
