cooling
VRM and aluminum I/O heatsink
A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.
M.2 heatsinks and backplates
Large aluminum heatsinks provide extensive surface area to cool mounted M.2 drives, and four of six onboard M.2 slots have dedicated backplates for additional heat dissipation.
High-conductivity thermal pads
Each thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.
Chipset heatsink
A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from the chipset to maintain optimum operating temperature.
UEFI BIOS
The renowned ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO 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.

By default, it supports ASUS motherboards, and users are invited to install ASUS DriverHub after OS installation. Additionally, ASUS DriverHub offers one-click installation and update checks, making it easier for users to keep their systems running smoothly and efficiently.
TURBOV CORE
Accessed via ASUS DriverHub, TurboV Core delivers intuitive CPU tuning that can unleash performance for overclocking enthusiasts. No need to enter the BIOS – you can seamlessly modify settings directly from within Windows and apply them right away, without needing to reboot. TurboV Core is engineered to elevate system capabilities, with unprecedented simplicity.
Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. This creates an immersive audio experience, giving the sensation of sound coming from above, below, and around the listener.
HWiNFO
HWiNFO and ROG have collaborated on this comprehensive system information and diagnostic tool that provides detailed information about hardware components and real-time monitoring of system performance in ROG style.

AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostics feature to detect and prevent hardware issues. All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or to the LCD panels of ROG AIO liquid coolers*.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. In addition, Armoury Crate’s Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one
