Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. The ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO has a long-standing tradition to live up to, and while the first Hero board did well, it did have a few shortcomings and might have been overshadowed by some of the other new ROG boards, like the IMPACT. What an apt name that is too, IMPACT, as that board definitely made its mark on the OC scene. So who exactly did the HERO save? High-performance networking: On-board 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, both with ASUS LANGuard protection, and support for GameFirst V software.

Provides greater electrostatic protection than the industry standard. ESD Guards cover the USB, audio and LAN ports.

Industry-leading Gaming Audio: ROG SupremeFX ALC4082 with ESS ® ES9018Q2C DAC for high-fidelity audio Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. In addition, Armoury Crate’s Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers. Supplies stable 5-volt power delivery to all USB ports, with minimal power fluctuations to minimize data loss.Dedicated relay eliminates the popping sound when the system is powered on or off, or devices are attached or removed. A6: Please confirm the ME FW version contained in the UEFI BIOS before updating. It must be version 14.1.51.1528 or newer to perform the BIOS update action and use Intel 11th CPU. Is the format of the USB flash drive FAT16 / 32 and the BIOS file and name of the motherboard model correct?

Configure the fan's operating speed manually or use pre-configured Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes. By default, system fans will automatically switch to full speed if the temperature reaches 75° C.

CONNECTIVITY

High-performance Networking: Onboard WiFi 6E (802.11ax), dual Intel ® 2.5 Gb Ethernet and ASUS LANGaurd. Extract the compressed BIOS file, which contains a BIOS file (.CAP) and a BIOS rename tool (BIOSRenamer).

Fastest Gaming Connectivity: PCIe 4.0, quad M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel connector, dual USB Type-C ® ports with Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C ® ASUS severely shook up their ROG product line with the launch of Intel's Haswell and Z87; new SKUs were introduced while old ones were re-hashed in ways most of us just didn't expect. ASUS's last HERO swung into action to save the day with Z87, but now that we have Z97 out on store shelves, we've also have a new HERO, the ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO.Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why ROG Maximus XIII Hero utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. Q3: What should I do if the BIOS update process is interrupted and I cannot boot? Or the power light is on but there is no display?

The Q-Code LED provides 2-digit error codes that display system status to help with troubleshooting. The three chassis fan headers feature the ASUS HYDRANODE circuit, which utilizes a powerline communication protocol to control up to three daisy chained fans independently through each 4-pin connector.

That's why ROG Maximus Z690 Hero utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. The BIOS file size will affect the update time. It can be completed in 8 minutes. Please do not remove the USB flash drive, unplug the power supply, turn on the power or press the CLR_CMOS button during the execution. This will cause the update to be interrupted and the system will not boot. GameFirst VI optimizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time based on application usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. LEARN MORENote: The easiest way to update the BIOS is provided. You do not need to enter the BIOS screen of the motherboard or use the EZFlash software in the operating system to use the hardware functions of the motherboard to update the BIOS. Supplies steady 5-volt power delivery to all USB ports, minimizing power fluctuations to prevent data loss. Requirements Tool: Prepare a USB flash drive with a capacity of 1GB or more. *Requires a single sector USB flash drive in FAT16 / 32 MBR format.
