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 applied automatically or used as a starting ground for further experimentation.

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

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.

Fully embracing the new standard, the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero BTF offers ample Gen 5 support to provide unlimited bandwidth to the fastest available SSDs and graphics cards.

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.

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 smart 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 streaming sessions. To provide a better user experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armory Crate.

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

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.

The ROG Maximus Z790 HERO BTF 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 diagnostics feature for identifying and preventing 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 AIOs.
