PerformanceOVERCLOCKING

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® Core™ 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.

PerformanceMEMORY

DDR5 DOMINATION

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 9 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 Pro

DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues; whereas DIMM Fit Pro is an advanced option that provides more extensive customizability for memory optimization.

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, graphics card, motherboard, and memory modules.
* The comparison chart is based on a test with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 245K processor, ROG MAXIMUS Z890 EXTREME motherboard, ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4090 OC Edition 24GB graphics card, and G.SKILL DDR5 memory modules (model F5-8800C4255H24GX2-TZ5CK).

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.
