Description

The ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero features powerful cooling, WiFi 7, and ample PCIe 5.0 slots for unparalleled performance and offers full compatibility with 14th Gen Intel ® Core™ processors. Its stealth design is highlighted by the new Polymo lighting, which illuminates the I/O cover with a microstructural dual-layer RGB array and adds a personalized touch to your gaming setup.

AI OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. The predicted values can be automatically applied or used as a starting point for further experimentation.

Conventional motherboards experience a significant difference between the actual voltage supplied to the CPU and the value reported in the software. The ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero features a detection circuit and a fine IC that simplify overclocking, allowing you to monitor voltages more accurately.

DDR5

ROG has a long legacy of flexibility in the fastest memory performance. Thanks to improved signal routing, now the kits in the category have surpassed 8 GT/s on the Maximus Z790 Dark Hero and who knows how far the DIMMs can go in the future? Experienced veterans can test their capabilities with the extensive range of tuning options in the UEFI.


DIMM Flex

The DIMM Flex provides enthusiasts with a powerful new way to overclock DDR5 memory modules. It uses specialized circuits that can boost performance or address potential stability issues, depending on temperature measurements. 

When temperatures are nominal, it can use the extra headroom to increase speeds and performance. And when temperatures rise, it can adjust memory behavior downwards to maintain stability.

AEMP II

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) is an exclusive firmware feature that allows users to achieve top memory performance and compatibility with optimized clock speeds, even when using limited quality PMIC memory modules that do not provide XMP or EXPO profiles.

WIFI 7

The next-generation WiFi 7 chipset introduces a brand-new 320 MHz channel bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM, providing up to 2.4x ultra-fast WiFi speeds. The revolutionary Multi-Link Operation (MLO) offers a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT.

The quick control of Armory Crate allows users to quickly identify the WiFi signal strength.

Armory Crate's Direction Finder helps users locate the optimal antenna orientation to achieve the best WiFi signal strength.

2,5 Gb ETHERNET

Low-latency gaming, fast file transfers, and high-definition video streaming are among the many benefits of the built-in Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

PCIE ® SLOT Q-RELEASE

The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and eliminate traditional screws.

The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and eliminate traditional screws.

Q-Antenna

With the Q-Antenna, connecting a WiFi antenna to your computer is now easy and fast.

Q-CODE

The integrated LED panel displays 2-digit diagnostic codes, providing valuable reference for troubleshooting boot and hardware issues.

Q-LED

The integrated Q-LED troubleshooting indicators provide PC builders with a quick signal to confirm that key components - CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices - are functioning normally during startup. 

Builders can use the Q-LED feature to address power supply issues affecting their motherboard and it can also alert them when memory modules are not installed correctly -- even before attempting to boot a newly built computer.

BIOS FLASHBACK™

BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update the BIOS. Just drop the BIOS (UEFI) file onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be performed even without memory or CPU installed.

CLEAR CMOS

The Clear CMOS button quickly resets the BIOS settings to factory defaults. It can also be used to restart the computer if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

AI COOLING II

Balance the heat and acoustics of any build with a single click. An exclusive ASUS algorithm reduces unnecessary noise during a quick stress test and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

This utility leverages a vast deep learning database to reduce over 5 million types of background noise from incoming or outgoing audio, helping to ensure crystal-clear communication in games or calls.

NETWORKING AI

GameFirst is now integrated into Armory Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimizes network performance by allocating bandwidth in real-time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various usage scenarios with the ability to customize applications and corresponding learning algorithms. 

The latest update includes exclusive support for NVIDIA ® GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest possible latency during intense cloud gaming sessions. To provide a better user experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armory Crate.

AI SUITE 3

The AI Suite 3 dashboard contains a set of smart controls that enhance CPU performance while maintaining system stability.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, modify, and fine-tune your setup. It offers intelligently simplified options for new PC DIY users, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

EXPAND YOUR GAMING WORLD WITH AURA SYNC

Upgrade your game with the complementary enhanced aesthetics of Aura Sync, with preset lighting effects that can easily sync with compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.

Sonic Studio

Sonic Studio supports virtual surround based on HRTF (head-related transfer function) for headphones, creating an immersive soundscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor the acoustics to your personal preferences or the characteristics of your headphones.

Through the pre-installed DTS® Sound Unbound™ application, the ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero envelops you with rich sound, creating entirely new levels of immersion for exceptional gaming and entertainment experiences. Leveraging Microsoft's spatial sound technology, DTS Sound Unbound creates a three-dimensional auditory space — placing you right in the middle of the soundscape, where you can feel the position and direction of every gunshot, footstep, or other sound in your virtual environment.

Armory Crate

Armory Crate is a software utility designed to provide you with centralized control of supported products, making it easy to set up the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armory Crate helps you customize the lighting and RGB effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme in your system. Additionally, the Armory Crate Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.

AIDA64 EXTREME

The ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero includes a one-year subscription to AIDA64 Extreme, a tool that provides detailed information about hardware and software, as well as benchmarks for measuring the performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostic function to identify and prevent hardware issues. All vital system sensors can be monitored in real-time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated screens or the LCD screens of ROG AIO.
