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
GRAPHICS CARD HIGH-POWER SLOT

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.

Extreme Power & Performance

Performance specs of the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF

ASUS AIINTELLIGENCE

AI NETWORKING II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7*.

*Features may vary by model.
ai OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.
AI COOLING II

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

Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.

* Availability of ASUS AI Advisor may vary by region.

PerformanceOVERCLOCKING

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 BTF features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.

PerformanceMEMORY

DDR5 DOMINATION

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 9 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF*.

*Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information.
NitroPath DRAM Technology

Frequency up to 400 MT/s higher

Slot retention force enhanced by 57%
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).
AEMP III

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory.
