Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme 10th Gen E-ATX Motherboard
POWER AND PERFORMANCE REDEFINED
Introducing the ASUS Maximus XII Extreme, This outstanding motherboard has been carefully crafted and tuned by skilled ROG engineers to bring you unprecedented performance. Designed to be as extreme as it's name suggests the Maximus XII Extreme is perfect for max performance water-cooling enthusiasts. Combining hardware and software, to achieve optimized overclocking, high-speed memory support and comprehensive water and fan cooling controls, Maximus XII Extreme delivers ultimate performance combined with efficient, reliable operation.
POWER DELIVERY ENHANCEMENTS
Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
1. 16-PIN PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTOR
Ensures a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
2. 90A
POWER STAGER
The VRM features 16 infineon TDA21490 power stages, each rated to handle 90 amps.
3.MICROFINE
ALLOY CHOKES
Each Power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
4. 10K BLACK
METALLIC CAPACITORS
Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.
COMPREHENSIVE COOLING ZONE
Enjoy comprehensive control over fans and water pumps, via either Fan Expert 4 or our UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum — keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.
MULTIPLE TEMPERATURE SOURCES
Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. And all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
DISPLAY YOUR OWN CUSTOM LOGO
ROG Maximus XII Extreme motherboards is equipped with LiveDash, a built-in 2†OLED panel that displays useful information and customisable graphics. During the power-on, self-test (POST) phase, OLED shows key progress stats in simple language, using traditional POST codes. Then, during normal operation, the panel shows a choice of CPU frequency, device temperatures, fan speeds or information from the Water-Cooling Zone. You're also able to customise the default OLED GIF, so it'll display your own image or animation.
