ASUS AI Intelligence

ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme DDR5 Motherboard Feature 1

AI Networking II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimise network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7 (Features may vary by model).

Traffic Monitor

Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button (The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor.) for improved network performance.

Fast Check

Armoury Crate’s Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength.

Direction Finder

Armoury Crate’s Direction Finder (The Direction Finder is only compatible with connections in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands) helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for achieving the best WiFi signal strength.

Game First

GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimises networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various application customisable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA® GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest latency possible during intense game streaming cloud gaming sessions.

ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme DDR5 Motherboard Feature 2

AI Overclocking

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme DDR5 Motherboard Feature 3

AI Cooling II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

ASUS AI Advisor

Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.

ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimisation features like AI Overclocking and AI Cooling II, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS.

Performance - Overclocking

NPU Boost

The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows - and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

* The overclocking performance may vary depending on the CPU series and motherboard used.

** 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 Extreme features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.

ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme DDR5 Motherboard Feature 4

Overclocker's Toolkit

The ROG Overclocker’s Toolkit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.

Safe Boot Button

Instantly reset the PC and boot directly into Safe mode.

RSVD Switch

Helps the system boot under extreme temperatures (≤ -120°C)

BCLK Buttons

Adjust the BCLK frequency to improve system performance.

LN2 Mode

Performance - Memory

ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme DDR5 Motherboard Feature 5

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

DDR5 Strength

ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.

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

NitroPath DRAM Technology

  • Frequency up to 400 MT/s higher
  • Slot retention force enhanced by 57%
  • Gold finger pins 39% higher

NitroPath DRAM Technology provides enhanced DDR5 memory performance. Shorter gold finger pins and optimised signal pathways ensure faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU, allowing for greater memory overclocking headroom and stability. These reinformed DRAM slots are also better prepared to withstand the wear and tear of the RAM installation process than traditional slot designs, perfect for enthusiasts who keep their system upgraded with the fastest kits available.

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyses individual memory modules to optimise performance and pinpoint potential issues.

DIMM Fit offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability.

Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritising rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimisations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

DIMM Flex

DIMM Flex employs specialised circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings.

MAX FPS preset 3840x2160

DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock their DDR5 memory modules. It employs specialised circuitry that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature readings. When temperatures are nominal, it can use the extra headroom to increase speeds and efficiency. And when temperatures increase, it can adjust memory behaviour downward to maintain stability.

Average FPS Comparison Across Games

Metro Exodus - Extreme preset 2560x1440

  • Default: 132.14
  • XMP: 133.92: +1.35%
  • DIMM Flex: 155.38: +17.59%

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - MAX FPS preset 3840x2160

  • Default: 190
  • XMP: 200: +5.26%
  • DIMM Flex: 210: +10.53%

* 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).

AEMP III

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimises the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.(Results may vary according to individual system specifications. Currently, only 2-DIMM configurations are supported. Results are based on a test with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and 2x16GB SK Hynix DDR5-6400 Clocked Unbuffered DIMM RAM, model HMCG78AHBCA326N.)
