Robust power and AI features
The motherboard uses a 10+1+2+1 power solution rated at 110A per phase with ProCool II power connectors, MicroFine alloy chokes, and metallic capacitors to ensure stable processor operation. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration. The NPU Boost feature overclocks the NPU with a single click, increasing performance by up to 24%. AI Cooling II balances the thermal and acoustic properties of PC builds. AI Networking II combines technologies that continuously optimise network performance, provide a reliable connection, and deliver high-speed WiFi 7.
Advanced cooling and special accessories
The board is equipped with massive heatsinks with an integrated I/O cover, M.2 heatsinks, an M.2 backplate, and a VRM heatsink, all connected by an L-shaped heat pipe for efficient heat dissipation. The fan holder is designed to ensure high airflow for two M.2 slots or DRAM slots. The ROG Hive II is an accessory that provides an external audio solution with an ESS™ SABRE 9260Q converter and Dolby Atmos technology. The ROG FPS card consolidates inputs and outputs onto a vertically mounted card, saving valuable space on the board and simplifying cable management.
Personalisation
The BIOS Q-Dashboard simplifies motherboard configuration with a visual display of hardware connections and corresponding BIOS settings. The M.2 Q-Release Duo innovation makes installing storage devices easier. The PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim enables easy removal of graphics cards. The Q-LED diagnostic display helps with troubleshooting potential issues. Two Gen 2 ARGB headers are configurable with ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting, and the effects can be synchronised across compatible ROG devices. Armoury Crate software centralises control of supported gaming products from a single interface, and ASUS Fan Xpert 4 provides control over fans and water coolers.
