From the Manufacturer|Powered by    Is the information in this section helpful? Yes / No Overview Load up with more cores for more performance with the ROG Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi, ready for 9th generation Intel® Core™ processors. The revamped ASUS 5-Way Optimization overclocks intelligently based on smart prediction and thermal telemetry while FanXpert 4 delivers dynamic system cooling. Aura Sync with addressable headers features full RGB customization. Designed for 9th and 8th generation Intel® Core™ processors to maximize connectivity and speed with dual M.2, USB 3.1 Gen 2, onboard 802.11ac Wi-Fi and ASUS OptiMem II for better DRAM overclocking stability Revamped 5-Way Optimization overclocks intelligently based on smart prediction and thermal telemetry while FanXpert 4 delivers dynamic system cooling Aura Sync RGB lighting with addressable headers features a nearly endless spectrum of colors with the ability to synchronize effects across an ever-expanding ecosystem of Aura Sync enabled products Pre-mounted I/O shield ensures streamlined installation and represents ROG’s attention to detail and quality Features 5-Way Optimization Weve loaded the ROG Maximus XI Hero with simple, flexible tools that let you tweak almost every system aspect. Enjoy intelligent automated tuning with 5-Way Optimization technology, or dive deep into the revered ROG UEFI BIOS to take full manual control. Hero also makes short work of fine-tuning everything from audio to storage, so its easy to get every part of your system up to speed. Optimem II Our OptiMem II tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, weve employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned signaling. Built for overclocking By default, all of Coffee Lakes major bus frequencies are derived from the same reference clock, limiting the control and flexibility needed to harness the full overclocking potential of the platform. The ROG Maximus XI Hero features a dedicated onboard clock generator that supplies dynamic reference clocks to the CPU cores and major subdomains, giving you the freedom to coax every MHz of headroom from the system. Cooler by design The ROG Maximus XI Hero features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling. All easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. Personalized for you With Aura Sync to unleash synchronized effects that extend from motherboard to a vast ecosystem of compatible components, the ROG Maximus XI Hero is primed for endless personalization. SupremeFX Utilizing the S1220 codec, SupremeFX is the integrated-audio solution thats engineered to provide a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature. And to ensure that pristine signature is perfectly preserved, the front-panel output is driven with dual op amps, delivering sonics with the scale and authority to create virtual worlds via your gaming headset.
