PERFORMANCE ROG Maximus XIII Extreme is designed for uncompromising performance. Boasting an intelligent VRM design that's rated for 100 amps, high-quality components, and an optimized memory layout, it easily handles overclocking demands of Intel Rocket Lake CPUs. Teamed Power Architecture Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal. A Brief History ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase doublers when we shipped the A8N32-SLI Deluxe back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits lead to phase doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today. A Shift in CPU Demands Today's CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. As an added bonus, these processors also consume less power at idle and can transition between loads states much more quickly. These improvements necessitated a re-evaluation of power design priorities, because phase doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response. Bucking the trend 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 XIII Extreme utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs. Thermal Performance Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. That's why ROG Maximus XIII Extreme utilizes 20 power stages. The high-end power stages feature a low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.

High quality components Dual 8-Pin ProCool II Power Connectors Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS12V power lines.

18+2 Power Stages The VRM features 18 power stages rated at 100 amps each for the Vcore and two 100-amp power stages for the secondary voltage rails.

MicroFine Alloy Chokes Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.

10K Japanese-Made Black Metallic Capacitors Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.

ASUS OptiMem III With proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies and reduced voltages while operating at higher frequencies. Stack ROG Maximus XIII Extreme with your favorite modules and maximize the throughput of the 11th Gen Intel Core Rocket Lake processor for applications that demand massive bandwidth.

COOLING ROG Maximus XIII Extreme has a large cooling array for the VRM and chipset, plus M.2 heatsinks accompanied with backplate blocks to draw 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 build the ultimate high-performance, silent, water-cooled rig. Cooling Heatsinks

• VRM and Aluminum I/O Heatsink - An aluminum I/O cover and two VRM heatsinks connected by an U-shaped heatpipe provide ample surface area and mass to deal with the heat generated by the latest Intel processors.
• U-shaped Heatpipe - The heatpipe efficiently distributes the thermal load across the entire array.
• Extended VRM Heatsink - An extended heatsink helps cool vital motherboard power delivery areas to improve the overclocking potential of 11th Gen Intel Core processors.
• Aluminum Heatsink Cover - Crafted from pure aluminum, the heatsink cover efficiently cools M.2 drives mounted in the onboard slots.
• High-Conductivity Thermal Pad - A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.
• M.2 Backplates - Integrated M.2 backplates help ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
• Chipset Heatsink - A chipset heatsink blends seamlessly with the aluminum cover and prominently features the ROG logo.

Cooler by Design ROG Maximus XIII Extreme features comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. 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 via the UEFI.
