ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO Z590 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z590 chipset with an LGA 1200 socket. It supports 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core processors and uses DDR4 memory. The board provides two PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slots that operate at x16 or x8/x8 depending on the CPU generation, plus a third PCIe 3.0 x16 slot running at up to x4 mode.

Suited for high-end Intel builds.

This motherboard targets enthusiasts building full-size ATX systems who need robust multi-GPU PCIe lane configurations and three M.2 slots. It is not suitable for micro-ATX or mini-ITX chassis due to its ATX form factor. Buyers requiring newer processor sockets, different memory generations, or integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth should evaluate alternative platforms.

Three M.2 slots for storage expansion

A defining specification is the inclusion of three M.2 slots, allowing multiple high-speed storage devices to be installed directly on the board. The package includes only the motherboard and I/O shield; SATA cables, Wi-Fi antennas, and other accessories are not supplied. Verify your storage and accessory requirements before purchase.
