** Testing was conducted with an Intel Arrow Lake QS Q2HA 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.

 

DDR5 DOMINATION

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero*.

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

Gaming Audio

 

PCIE® SLOT Q-RELEASE

With PCIe® Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

 

M.2 Q-RELEASE

The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.
*Switch may be a lever or button, depending on motherboard model.

 

M.2 Q-SLIDE

This new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260 and 2280 for easy device installation.

 

NEW M.2 Q-LATCH

The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.

 

Q-ANTENNA

With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.

 

Q-CODE

The on-board LED panel shows 2-digit diagnostic codes, providing a valuable reference for troubleshooting common boot problems and hardware issues.

 

START BUTTON

This convenient button removes the need to manually jump hard-to-reach pins during testing and troubleshooting.

 

Q-LED

Q-LED is a set of troubleshooting lights to give PC builders quick indicators to confirm that key components ? CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices ? are functioning normally during startup. Q-LED can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed--even before attempting to boot a newly built PC.

 

BIOS FLASHBACK™

BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

CLEAR CMOS

The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

 

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Features

ROG Maximus Z890 HERO

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero unleashes the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 2) via exclusive AI PC technologies, robust power delivery, optimized thermal management, extensive PCIe® 5.0 support, DDR5 slots and WiFi 7. Meanwhile, angular design elements and Polymo II Lighting accents around the ROG logo deliver a signature aesthetic that elevates system design.

** Testing was conducted with an Intel Arrow Lake QS Q2HA 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.

 

DDR5 DOMINATION

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero*.

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

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, graphic card, motherboard, and memory modules.
** The comparison chart is based on a test with an Intel Core i9-14900K processor, ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II motherboard, ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4090 OC Edition 24GB graphics card, and G.SKILL DDR5 memory modules (model F5-7200J3646F24GX2-TZ5RK).

THERMAL MANAGEMENT

An extensive array of headers line the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero for precise cooling control and monitoring.

Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be set to monitor and react to 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 ROG Maximus Z890 Hero features four chassis headers, and each supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

 

AIO pump header
An additional PWM/DC fan header offers dedicated control of self-contained water-cooling setups.

Gaming Audio

 

PCIE® SLOT Q-RELEASE

With PCIe® Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

 

M.2 Q-RELEASE

The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.
*Switch may be a lever or button, depending on motherboard model.

 

M.2 Q-SLIDE

This new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260 and 2280 for easy device installation.

 

NEW M.2 Q-LATCH

The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.

 

Q-ANTENNA

With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.

 

Q-CODE

The on-board LED panel shows 2-digit diagnostic codes, providing a valuable reference for troubleshooting common boot problems and hardware issues.

 

START BUTTON

This convenient button removes the need to manually jump hard-to-reach pins during testing and troubleshooting.

 

Q-LED

Q-LED is a set of troubleshooting lights to give PC builders quick indicators to confirm that key components ? CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices ? are functioning normally during startup. Q-LED can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed--even before attempting to boot a newly built PC.

 

BIOS FLASHBACK™

BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

CLEAR CMOS

The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

 

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

BIOS Q-DASHBOARD

Simplify your motherboard configuration with BIOS Q-Dashboard. Its intuitive visual representation of hardware connections and corresponding BIOS settings takes the complexity out of setting up your system. Upgrade now, and discover the power of BIOS Q-Dashboard to easily and efficiently enhance your computing setup.

 

Advanced mode
