Description
The perfection foundation to the Republic of Gamers is the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII HERO (WI-FI) Motherboard. This gaming motherboard packs epic power, smart cooling and fast memory speeds. With epic ROG features such as AI overclocking and AI cooling, the Maximus XII Hero is ready to perform. Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration for each system. AI Cooling automatically manages and controls motherboard connected fans, ensuring the most efficient settings depending on the current system load and temperature.
Cooling
It is important to maintain system stability under high load, which is why the Maximus XII Hero employs large VRM and chipset heatsinks which strike the perfect balance between surface area and mass. Cooling is also supported by the large diameter heatpipe, the M.2 heatsink, chipset heatsink and more.
