本篇的開箱主角則為 ASUS ROG ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX除了是 2DIMM記憶體超頻專用板之外,同時擁有 Extreme版本的 LN2極限超頻設計,在 DDR5方面 Z690 APEX改進了 DDR5 PMIC和 AEMP供電,並支援 ROG True Voltician,方便使用者直接用主板連接使用示波器,另外在散熱方面 Z690 APEX提升了 VRM及其散熱解決方案,目標是製造既安靜又強大的 Z690 APEX

處理器電源迴路的散熱處理,ASUS 官方資料說有經過提升,目標是打造出安靜又強大的組合。不過他們並未多做說明,肉眼來看還是採用 C 型布局,擴及至第 1 組 M.2 插槽區域。其實前代產品就已經這麼設計,引發第 1 組 PCIe 插槽卡榫不容易退開這個問題,ASUS 因而又發揮了創意來解決。
