Socket LGA 1200 platform for 10th and 11th Gen Core

The ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z590 chipset for LGA 1200 processors. It targets enthusiasts who want strong overclocking headroom, extensive connectivity and high-fidelity audio in a single board. The 14+2 teamed power stages rated for 90 Amps and ProCool II connectors deliver stable current to 11th Gen Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 CPUs. AI overclocking, AI cooling, AI networking and AI noise cancellation automate tuning for less experienced builders.

Ideal for high-end air or liquid-cooled Intel builds

This board suits users planning a Core i9 or i7 with PCIe 4.0 graphics cards, multiple M.2 SSDs and 2.5 Gb Ethernet or WiFi 6E networking. The four M.2 slots with heatsinks, dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel header support fast storage and peripherals. Builders using 10th Gen Comet Lake CPUs lose PCIe 4.0 support and should consider a different chipset. Users needing more than 128 GB DDR4 or ECC memory must look elsewhere.

Fits ATX cases with 24-pin and 8+4-pin EPS power

The board requires an ATX chassis, a PSU with 24-pin ATX plus 8+4-pin EPS connectors and DDR4 DIMMs up to 5333 MT/s. Four 288-pin slots run in dual channel for up to 128 GB capacity. Two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot handle graphics and add-in cards. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports connect traditional drives. The ROG Water-Cooling Zone headers simplify custom loop integration. SupremeFX ALC4082 with ESS ES9018Q2C DAC drives 7.1-channel audio for headsets or speakers.

Questions about this item

What CPU and memory do I need to use this LGA 1200 board with its Z590 chipset?

You need a 10th or 11th Gen Intel Core i9, i7, i5 or i3 processor for the LGA 1200 socket and DDR4 modules running up to 3200 MT/s, expandable to 128 GB across the four 288-pin slots.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 graphics card and SATA SSDs work at full speed on the PCIe 4.0 x16 and SATA 6Gb/s ports?

Yes, the two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot are backward compatible, and the six SATA 6Gb/s ports run SATA drives at their rated throughput.

How do I verify the 14+2 power stages rated for 90 A are delivering clean power after build?

Enter the UEFI and check the hardware monitor for stable Vcore readings under load, then run a sustained CPU stress test while observing VRM temperatures via the ROG software suite.
