Drawing from a heritage that spans more than a decade, this incarnation of the MAXIMUS series features all the enhancements that enthusiasts crave. These motherboards bring the octane to your build.
ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers.
Better cooling
Equipped with a stylish, angular M.2 heatsink, your SSD keeps cool. By efficiently dissipating heat away from the M.2 area, ROG MAXIMUS minimizes the possibility of the performance-sapping throttling that can happen when drives become too warm.
Overclocking performance
ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing memory traces to the optimal PCB layer, and the T-topology layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements lead to more headroom for overclocking and improved stability.
Pre-mounted I/O shield
ROG's pre-mounted I/O shield offers increased protection against electrostatic discharges and is pre-fitted to make it even easier to install the motherboard. Its sleek design makes it look as good as it performs.
