ROG Maximus Z890 HERO BTF
The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF features hidden connectors for motherboard power, graphics card power, USB ports and fan cables, enabling an ultra-clean build for your Intel®Core Ultra (Series 2) rig. Like the standard Z890 Hero, it also boasts ASUS-exclusive AI-enhanced tuning, DIY-friendly innovations, PCIe®5.0, and DDR5 slots with NitroPath DRAM Technology that enables advanced memory overclocking headroom and stability. Meanwhile, Polymo Lighting II elevates your overall system aesthetic.
Advanced BTF Design
With the combination of a BTF graphics card, motherboard and chassis, you can enjoy a full hidden-connector experience. This Advanced BTF approach is achieved through the new graphics card high-power slot available on BTF motherboards, which can deliver up to 600 watts to BTF graphics cards. With a full set of BTF components, builders can eliminate visible cables for an extra-clean aesthetic.
HIDDEN-CONNECTOR DESIGN
The hidden-connector design can be ideal for first-time builders, because it provides easier cable management. The absence of visible cables also creates a clean and tidy look that would normally require an expert.
GRAPHICS CARD HIGH-POWER SLOT
The graphics card high-power slot stands ready to supply all the wattage that a BTF graphics card needs. This special design can deliver up to 600 watts through the motherboard itself, eliminating the need for visible 8-pin or 16-pin power cables on the front.
