ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI FORMULA motherboard LGA 1151 (Socket H4) ATX Intel Z390

Intel Z390 ATX Gaming motherboard with M.2 heatsink, Aura Sync RGB LED, DDR4 4400MHz, 802.11ac Wi-Fi , dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 THE FORMULA ROG Maximus XI Formula exhibits the sleek, refined and functional design that has become iconic in the Maximus motherboard series. With its distinctive integrated CrossChill EK 2” LiveDash OLED with more custom features III cooling block, intelligent overclocking software and a stunning polished-mirror finish, the latest-generation Formula is all set to make your showcase rig shine. THRILLING PERFORMANCE Building on over a decade of ROG engineering and refinement, Formula is the motherboard that lets you push the boundaries while keeping the thermals in check and under careful control. POWER PERFORMANCE BUILT FOR OVERCLOCKING By default, all of Coffee Lake's major bus frequencies are derived from the same reference clock, limiting the control and flexibility needed to harness the full overclocking potential of the platform. Maximus XI Formula features a dedicated onboard clock generator that supplies dynamic reference clocks to the CPU cores and major subdomains, giving you the freedom to coax every MHz of headroom from the system. DDR4 4400MHZ+ Whether you're gunning for high memory frequencies or tuning timings for the lowest latency, Maximus XI Formula provides the tools you need to exploit the Coffee Lake architecture's full potential: carefully optimized trace pathways maintain signal integrity, and the acclaimed ROG firmware offers the necessary tweaks to ensure stability while maximizing memory performance. Load up with a high-density memory kit for heavy multitasking, or run a focused setup that delivers the bandwidth your favorite games and applications need. Any way you stack it, Formula has you covered. OPTIMEM II To provide Intel's latest CPUs unfettered access to memory bandwidth, we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned signaling. COOLING DESIGN EXPERTLY TOOLED TOTALLY COOLED CROSSCHILL EK III CrossChill EK III lets you cool with air and water. The redesigned cooling channels provide wider copper, delivering up to 37.2°C-lower MOSFET temperatures on water, and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK III easily fits existing setups — so you can enjoy efficient, quiet cooling with the minimum effort. COOLER BY DESIGN COMPREHENSIVE COOLING ZONE ROG Maximus XI Formula features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. Multiple temperature sources Each header can be set to monitor and react to four user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling. All easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. Water pump+ A dedicated header that can supply over 3A to high-performance PWM or DC water pumps. 4-pin PWM/DC fan Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. *W_PUMP+ and AIO PUMP are also PWM/DC controllable. Fan Extension Header Allows expansion of three additional DC or PWM fan headers, plus three thermal-probe headers.
