For generations, streamlined layouts that reduce latency and increase bandwidth have enabled ROG Apex series motherboards to dominate numerous world records. Maximus XIII Apex continues that legacy by amping power delivery and adding overclocking enhancements for 11th Generation Intel Core processors. Those upgrades are fused with the latest connectivity options to boost the meta and bring the board’s racetrack performance to daily rigs.

Intelligent software solutions help ensure that your system performs at its best. The latest ASUS AI-powered enhancements span four pillars of performance, including overclocking, cooling, networking and onboard audio, making advanced tweaks and optimization accessible to new recruits and savvy PC DIY veterans alike.

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push each system to its limits.

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm reduces unnecessary system noise by monitoring CPU temperatures and dynamically adjusting fans to optimal speeds.

The GameFirst VI utility optimizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time based on application usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms.

This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce over 500 million types of background noise from incoming or outgoing audio, helping ensure crystal-clear communication in games or calls.

ROG Maximus XIII Apex makes overclocking accessible to both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. Its intelligent power solution caters to the demands of the latest Intel processors, while comprehensive controls give you the tools you need to ramp up performance.

A robust and comprehensive cooling solution is vital in your pursuit of performance. ROG Maximus XIII Apex includes sturdy heatsinks and a series of fan and water-cooling headers to keep temperatures in check.

Maximus XIII Apex delivers supersmooth wireless connectivity, extensive M.2 compatibility, and high-end audio – the essentials for any setup.

ROG Maximus XIII Apex is packed with intuitive and flexible tools that give you complete control of system performance.

In addition to extraordinary performance, ROG Maximus XIII Apex provides extensive styling and customization options to let you build a system that truly stands apart.
