POWER DELIVERY ENHANCEMENTS With tailored power delivery and support for the latest high-performance memory, ROG Maximus XIII Hero easily handles the increased demands of Intel Rocket Lake processors. It features an intelligent VRM design that’s rated for 90 amps, plus quality components and memory layout optimizations to cater to enthusiasts looking to create a battle-ready rig with balanced performance.
1. 8-pin ProCool II power connectors Two ProCool II Power Connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V Power Lines.
2. 14+2
Power Stage
The VRM is comprised of 14 (90 amp) power stages for Vcore and 2 (70 amp) power stages for the secondary voltage rails.
3.MicroFine
Alloy ChokesEach Power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
4. 10K Black
Metallic Capacitors
Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.
Cooler by Design
COMPREHENSIVE COOLING ZONEA high-end battle station needs robust cooling to deliver peak performance. ROG Maximus XIII Hero employs an enlarged cooling array for the VRM and chipset, plus four M.2 sinks teamed with backplate blocks to wick 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 keep thermals in check at all times.

Multiple temperature sources Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.

4-pin PWM/DC Fan Every onboard header auto-detects any PWM or DC fan, with three chassis fan headers offering ASUS HYDRANODE support.

AIO Pump A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.

Water pump+ A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to a high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.

Water in/out A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.

Water flow A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.
Unprecedented Thermal Dominance

1. VRM
Heatsink
A VRM heatsink is placed on the MOSFETs and chokes, and the embedded heatpipe connects to the integrated aluminium I/O cover.
2. M.2
Heatsinks
Quad dedicated heatsinks keep up to four m.2 drives at their optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.
3. L-Shaped HeatpipesAn L-Shaped heatpipe allows for rapid and even heat transfer from the VRMs.
4.High-conductivity
thermal pad
The high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.
5. M.2
Backplates
All M.2 slots feature backplate blocks that ensure high performance drives deliver peak performance even when the airflow is restricted.
6.
Chipset
heatsink
A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.
Support for up to Quad PCIe NVMe M.2

PCIe 4.0 ReadyThe ROG Maximus XIII is equipped with four onboard m.2 slots, with two offering the latest PCIe 4.0 support for the latest GPUs and High-Speed SSDs.

Many copies of Windows operating systems bought from unofficial channels like auction websites are not Genuine, even if they have allowed you to upgrade to newer versions. Buying a Genuine copy from an authorised reseller like Scan ensures you will get the latest updates, security patches and support from Microsoft.

5-Way Optimization
Overclocking Intelligence Take care of complex tuning with just one click. ASUS 5-Way Optimization is a system-wide tuning utility that overclocks the processor and tunes fan speeds to ensure the best balance between cooling and acoustics. The automated CPU tuning feature of 5-Way Optimization leverages the same on-board intelligence as AI Overclocking, but goes further by running a Prime95 based stress test to deliver a result that's well-tuned from the beginning.

Flexible Cooling Controls With the ROG MAXIMUS Series you have comprehensive control over fans via Fan Xpert 4 or the media-acclaimed UEFI. Whether you are cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. Extreme Quiet mode reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum assuring your system stays whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.

CPU Performance Boost Unleash your PC’s full performance with the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility. The TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is the intelligence behind our automated system-tuning utility, offering the ability to fine-tune voltages, monitor system stats, and adjust overclock parameters for optimal performance.

All-round Energy Efficiency The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically amplifies power consumption and maximises savings with Away mode. The smart setting that produces an extreme energy-saving setup by shutting down unused I/O controllers, with the EPU you will appreciate system-wide power reserves.
