ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME Motherboard
PERFORMANCE
Boundless power and advanced ROG firmware allow you to impose your will on Intel 13th Gen processors and DDR5 memory.
TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE
Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
COOLING
All the headers and controls needed for complex fan setups and custom loops, and large heatsinks to keep high-speed drives and power components at optimum temperatures. Deploy your choice in CPU and GPU cooling and rock menacing horsepower with minimal noise.
CONNECTIVITY
Take system bandwidth to the extreme with future-ready ports for graphics, storage, and peripherals, and light up network connections with ultraspeed WIFI and Ethernet. Plug in to your heart’s content and then get deeper into the game with high-fidelity onboard audio.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
An extensive array of headers line the ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme for precise cooling control and monitoring.
-
Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
-
4-pin fan headers
In addition to the pair of CPU fan headers, the Maximus Z790 Extreme features two chassis and two radiator headers, and each supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
-
TWO THUNDERBOLT 4 TYPE-C PORTS
Each port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
-
USB 3.2 GEN 2X2 TYPE-C FRONT-PANEL CONNECTOR WITH QUICK CHARGE 4+
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 adds an additional lane that can boost Type-C data transfers with speeds of up to 20 Gbps. The port also features Quick Charge 4+ technology that can quickly charge devices up to 60W
* Requires a PCIe power supply cable to be plugged into the nearby 6-pin connector.
-
WIFI 6E
Onboard WiFi takes advantage of the 6 GHz band for lower latency in dense wireless environments and wide 160 MHz channels to speed up data transfers. For an even more seamless experience, the 5 or 6 GHz band can connect simultaneously alongside the 2.4 GHz band courtesy of Intel Double Connect Technology.
-
10G ETHERNET
Meeting the demands of power users and content creators, onboard Marvell AQtion 10 Gbps Ethernet provides a new level of home networking. With virtually boundless throughput, file transfers and system backups are faster than ever before.

SUPREMEFX
ROG SupremeFX audio technology delivers an exceptional 113 dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection to provide exceptional recording quality. There’s also a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX ALC4082 codec, and an integrated ESS ES9218 QUAD DAC capable of reaching -115dB THD+N for superior front-panel output. The combined solution allows for end-to-end 32-bit 384 kHz resolution playback that conveys all the subtlety and nuances of each audio track.
PERSONALIZATION
