AURA lighting control
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. 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. -
RGB lighting perfected
ROG Maximus X Hero features a duo of onboard 5050 RGB headers and an addressable header that can be connected to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and PC cases, creating a great world of illumination possibilities -
Exclusive 3D Mount for easy installation
Dedicated 3D Mount on the motherboard makes fitting 3D-printed parts easy. Using the same screws as M.2 drives and standard motherboard mounting holes, you can easily add nameplates, cable covers, or an M.2 fan holder in a matter of moments. -
M.2 heatsink
ROG Maximus X Hero is equipped with a stylish, angular M.2 heatsink that keeps your SSD cool. By efficiently dissipating heat away from the M.2 area, ROG Maximus X Hero minimizes the possibility of the performance-sapping throttling that can happen when drives become too warm. The heatsink's angular design adds an eye-catching touch to any build, while the T-sensor detects temperatures in the vital M.2 area for instant monitoring. -
Intel Ethernet
Featuring the advanced Intel Ethernet for faster, smoother gaming. Intel Ethernet controllers have a natural synergy with their CPUs and chipsets, reducing processor overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput, so there's more power for games and other tasks. -
Let your SSD scream at top speed
With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32 Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, making your whole PC or professional apps work as fast as possible. -
5-Way Optimization
One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig. -
SupremeFX
ROG's awesome SupremeFX audio technology has leveled up, delivering an exceptional 113 dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection! The low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery was added to the SupremeFX S1220 codec, an ESS Sabre Hi-Fi ES9023P digital-to-analog converter for superior front-panel output, and a Texas Instruments RC4850 op-amp for high gain with low distortion - which all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before. -
Overwolf
Overwolf is a clever, unobtrusive overlay that keeps you in the game and allows you to browse the web, email, IM, stream or record while you play. The overlay features color-matched ROG skins that show you're part of an elite pack.
