OVERCLOCKING
ROG Maximus Apex boards are well-known as a record-setting platform for overclocking enthusiasts. From OC-centric components and design choices, to a massive power delivery system, the beast is back to rock new world records in multiple domains.
ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES
Tried and tested OC features offer extensive control over system performance for seasoned veterans and new recruits alike. Leverage onboard intelligence to automatically adapt CPU performance, or get a headstart on manual tuning and then utilize advanced tools and utilities to stay on the pulse and push boundaries.
- AI Overclocking
- Overclocker's Toolkit
- Differential Sensing
- Condensation Detection
AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
OVERLOCKER'S TOOLKIT
The ROG Overclocker’s Toolkit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.
-
SAFE BOOT BUTTON
Reset the PC and boot directly to Safe Mode.
-
BCLK BUTTONS
Adjust the BCLK frequency to improve system performance.
-
PROBEIT
Includes twelve integrated measurement points for advanced tuning.
-
RETRY BUTTON

-
RSVD SWITCH
Helps the system boot under extreme temperatures (≤ -120°C)
-
LN2 MODE
A jumper enables special options and functions for liquid-nitrogen (LN2) overclocking.
-
BIOS SWITCH
Switches between BIOS 1 and 2.
DIFFERENTIAL SENSING
Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn't ideal, leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported to software. The ROG Maximus Z790 Apex features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.
CONDENSATION DETECTION
Specialized circuitry allows ROG Maximus Z790 Apex to detect when condensation occurs on the back of the board. Divided into three distinct sections — CPU, DRAM, and PCIe — the feature provides a useful warning when an area may be at risk of short-circuiting.
-
CPU LED
Flashes when condensation is detected near the CPU

Teamed Power Architecture
Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

Phase-doubled Design
12V EPS IN
12V EPS IN
-
ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.
-
Modern CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition, they consume less power at idle and can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.
-
Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.
-
Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and phase-doublers control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. The power stages feature low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.
8 + 8 PIN PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTORS
Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
24+0+2 POWER STAGES
The VRM features 24+0+2 power stages, each rated to handle up to 105 amps.
MICROFINE ALLOY CHOKES
Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
SMD CAPACITORS
Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.
MEMORY
Comprehensive memory tuning options are a cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex, you can extract maximum potential out of the highest-performing DDR5 modules.
- DDR5 DOMINATION
- AEMP II
DR5 DOMINATION
ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven as far as 8 GT/s on the Maximus Z790 Apex, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI.
AEMP II
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive hardware and firmware solution to overclock generic memory modules. AEMP’s second version allows for automatic tuning of kits during system startup and leverages the PCB trace optimizations of the Maximus Z790 Apex to push frequencies higher than ever before. The vast library of support now extends to nearly every DDR5 module that does not otherwise have XMP support.
