ROG x EVANGELION - The Ultimate EVA Equipment. Designed by ROG

It’s 2022. The Republic of Gamers is launching new equipment for the EVANGELION project. The ROG Maximus Z690 Hero EVA Edition is covered in the classic purple and green of the EVA-01 and is similarly well-equipped. Robust cooling and power delivery are poised to push the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core ™ processors to the max. An A.T. Field design around the CPU socket and polymo-lighting on the I/O cover that switches between EVA-01 normal and berserk modes is a further aesthetic treat.
