The ASUS Maximus X HERO uses Z370 chipset and supports Intel's 8th generation Coffee Lake processors. The Z370 chipset architecture lets the ASUS Maximus X HERO automatically overclock compatible K-series CPUs.

The motherboard can truly be at the heart of a graphically dynamic system with support for NVIDIA's SLI and AMD's CrossFireX technology which enables you to install and link multiple graphics cards to enhance performance.

The Features of the ASUS Maximus X HERO at a Glance:

  • 3× PCIe (3.0) x16 (x16/x8/x4) & 3× PCIe x1
  • 3× USB 3.1 / 6× USB 3.0 / 6× USB 2.0
  • 2× M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) / 6× SATA 6G
  • Supports max. 64 GB DDR4-RAM at 4.133 MHz (OC)
  • Integrated LED lighting with ASUS Aura support
  • Convenient CPU overclocking via multiplier

The ASUS Maximus X HERO in detail:

The ASUS Maximus X HERO has an ATX form factor and uses the cutting edge Z370 chipset so it is compatible with Intel's 8000-series Core processors (Coffee Lake). This architecture enables compatible K-series CPUs to be automatically overclocked.

Since the board is compliant with NVIDIA's SLI- and AMD's CrossFireX technologies, graphic performance can be further enhanced by linking multiple GPUs.

The ASUS Maximus X HERO has numerous technical innovations, enhancements and an array of storage solutions. There are three PCIe x16 slots, one of which uses a full 16 lanes to connect to the chipset, as well as three further PCIe x1 slots. It has dual M.2 slots capable of running ultra fast NVMe-M.2 SSDs, resulting in a data transfer rate of nearly 4 GB/s. This makes M.2 PCIe SSDs up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs. There are also six SATA 6G connectors for 3,5"- or 2,5" hard drives and -SSDs (incl. RAID support). Up to 64 GB of RAM can be added across four DIMM slots.

This ASUS Maximus X HERO also takes advantage of Intel's advance Optane Memory system, which improves communication between system RAM and the CPU, leading to overall faster performance.

The motherboard offers excellent options for connecting external peripherals. The motherboard comes with an I/O panel boasting an array of the very latest and greatest connectivity standards including both a type A and C USA 3.1 ports as well as six USB 3.0 and six USB 2.0 ports.

Network connections can be made Intel’s I219-V ethernet technology.

Video is displayed via an HDMI or DisplayPort 1.2 while the board offers support for sonic studio 3 for audio output. This means headsets can output a virtual surround sound effect, perfect for VR immersion

The ASUS Maximus X HERO includes support for Asus's own Aura lighting standard. This enables users to coordinate RGB lighting components to achieve effects such as static, breathing and strobing.
