Has ASUS forgotten the Maximus Extreme XIII (not the glacial one.) I am planning on a 3090 NVLINK build but I only see Strix, TUF and Heroes but not the Extreme. Also on the side note, will ASUS be making an NVLINK bridge for their 3090s?

Hello, the Z590 Extreme boards will be releasing soon, as will the Apex.
A few things however you need to consider before buying, if your planning on running RTX 3090 NVLINK.
Currently the only 30-series NVLINK bridges available are 80mm 4-slot spacing.
The Z590 Glacial board has 4-slot spacing. Side by side comparison with Z590 Extreme board shows more than 4-slot spacing on Extreme board, so NVLINK will not work without PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cables. Do you have room in your chassis for two RTX 3090 cards & Riser Cables.
Also on the side note, I can imagine an Asus RD meeting discussing the market demand, sales, and profit margins for ROG 30-series NVLINK, I would lean towards production not getting a green light.

I think you said it wrong. 4 way spacing the way they say is when you have 3 empty slots in between your pcie slots kinda like this:
PCIE x16

PCIE x16
Three way spacing would be 2 empty slots in between
PCIE x16

PCIE x16
An M.2 slot would be same as a slot. The gaps have to be eyeballed.

OK,.. 80mm is still 80mm regardless of how you eyeball it.
