e-zone Choice

It is the top and flagship motherboard model of ROG

HungryGeeks ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII Extreme Approved Award

At around USD 1,000 worldwide or PhP 44,499 in the Philippines, the ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme packs in almost every feature that you want in a motherboard: customization, tough components, a solid build, abundant connectivity options, overclocking choices, and plenty more. Its high asking price, however, means that the board is definitely not for everyone. Gamers who just want something to just work while playing may want to find something a lot more affordable than this beast of burden.

PERFORMANCE

PERFORMANCE

ROG Maximus XIII Extreme is designed for uncompromising performance. Boasting an intelligent VRM design that’s rated for 100 amps, high-quality components, and an optimized memory layout, it easily handles overclocking demands of Intel Rocket Lake CPUs.

  • Power Solution
  • Memory

Teamed Power Architecture

Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal.

  • A Brief History
  • A Shift in CPU Demands
  • Bucking the trend
  • Thermal Performance
  • High quality components

Teamed
Power Stage Design

12V EPS IN

12V EPS IN

While doublers help extend the number of effective phases, they do so at the cost of a processing delay. The teamed architecture allows two power stages to work in tandem to provide more power to the CPU. The MOSFETs within the power stages generate the most heat as they are responsible for voltage conversion and delivery to the CPU from the 12-volt EPS connector.

Conventional
Phase-doubled Design

12V EPS IN

12V EPS IN

  • ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase doublers when we shipped the A8N32-SLI Deluxe 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 lead to phase doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.

  • Today’s CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. As an added bonus, these processors also consume less power at idle and can transition between loads states much more quickly. These improvements necessitated a re-evaluation of power design priorities, because phase doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.

  • 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 XIII Extreme 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 control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. That's why ROG Maximus XIII Extreme utilizes 20 power stages. The high-end power stages feature a low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.

ASUS OptiMem III

With proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies and reduced voltages while operating at higher frequencies. Stack ROG Maximus XIII Extreme with your favorite modules and maximize the throughput of the 11th Gen Intel Core Rocket Lake processor for applications that demand massive bandwidth.

COOLING

COOLING

ROG Maximus XIII Extreme has a large cooling array for the VRM and chipset, plus M.2 heatsinks accompanied with backplate blocks to draw heat away from critical components. That rugged foundation is backed by complimentary headers for fans, AIOs and liquid loops, paired with flexible control options that allow you to build the ultimate high-performance, silent, water-cooled rig.

  • Heatsinks
  • Headers
  • ROG Fan Controller

Cooling Heatsinks

Cooling Heatsinks Cooling Heatsinks
  1. VRM and Aluminum I/O Heatsink

    An aluminum I/O cover and two VRM heatsinks connected by an U-shaped heatpipe provide ample surface area and mass to deal with the heat generated by the latest Intel processors.

  2. U-shaped Heatpipe

    The heatpipe efficiently distributes the thermal load across the entire array.

  3. Extended VRM Heatsink

  4. Aluminum Heatsink Cover

    Crafted from pure aluminum, the heatsink cover efficiently cools M.2 drives mounted in the onboard slots.

  5. High-Conductivity Thermal Pad

    A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.

  6. M.2 Backplates

    Integrated M.2 backplates help ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.

  7. Chipset Heatsink

    A chipset heatsink blends seamlessly with the aluminum cover and prominently features the ROG logo.
