Show Product Description

The ASUS ROG Maximus XII Apex Wi-Fi Z490 Gaming & Overclocking Motherboard is the ultimate platform for enthusiasts seeking to unleash the full potential of 10th Gen Intel Core processors. Engineered for extreme performance, the Maximus XII Apex combines cutting-edge hardware, advanced power delivery, and intelligent cooling solutions, making it the go-to choice for gamers, overclockers, and professional PC builders. At its core, the ROG Maximus XII Apex boasts a robust VRM design featuring 16 teamed power stages, each rated at 70 amps, and dual 8-pin ProCool II connectors to ensure stable and reliable power delivery—even during intense overclocking sessions. The board utilizes high-quality MicroFine alloy chokes, supporting up to 45 amps, along with premium Japanese-made 10K black metallic capacitors for exceptional durability, capable of thousands of hours under high operating temperatures. With support for clock speeds up to 5.3 GHz via Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost and Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, you can push your system to its absolute limits. Memory support includes DDR4 up to 2933 MHz, enhanced by ASUS OptiMem III technology, which optimizes trace layouts for improved signal integrity and reduced noise. This ensures compatibility with high-frequency memory kits and allows you to choose between high-speed or low-latency configurations. The motherboard supports Intel® Core™ i9 to i3 desktop processors, providing up to 10 cores and 20 threads with Hyper-Threading Technology for superior multitasking and responsiveness. Cooling is masterfully handled through a comprehensive system of heatsinks, including a high-mass VRM and I/O heatsink connected via a large-diameter heatpipe for efficient dissipation, a pure aluminum cover for M.2 drives, metal DIMM.2 heatsinks, high-conductivity thermal pads, and a dedicated chipset heatsink. The ROG Water-Cooling Zone offers dual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header, feeding real-time data to the AI Suite utility for precise monitoring—ensuring stability under any condition, even during prolonged high-load operation. Connectivity is state-of-the-art, featuring three PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots—two supporting both SATA and NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4, and the third for NVMe—plus the innovative ROG DIMM.2 module for additional M.2 drive expansion with optimized cooling. Onboard Intel 2.5G Ethernet accelerates wired connections up to 2.5X over standard Ethernet, while Wi-Fi 6 (AX201) delivers ultrafast wireless speeds and improved performance in congested environments. SupremeFX audio powered by the S1220A codec ensures immersive, crystal-clear sound with simultaneous 7.1-channel playback and multiple stereo streams. The Maximus XII Apex features striking ROG aesthetics and customizable Gen 2 addressable RGB headers, allowing you to tailor lighting effects and synchronize with other Aura RGB devices. Crafted in Taiwan by ASUS, this motherboard is ideal for high-performance gaming setups, professional studios, or advanced workstations. For optimal longevity, regularly remove dust using compressed air, maintain efficient airflow in your case, and use high-quality thermal paste when installing your CPU. With the ASUS ROG Maximus XII Apex, you’re ready to build a powerhouse PC designed for peak performance, extreme customization, and unrivaled stability.
