Product features
- Superior cooling
The extra-large armor heat sinks also cover multiple M.2 slots. Featuring premium components and multiple fan headers, MAXIMUS XII HERO is fully armed to provide a good foundation for gaming systems. - VRM heatsink
A VRM heatsink is placed on the MOSFETs and chokes, and the embedded heat pipe connects to the aluminum I/O cover. - Large diameter heat pipe
The U-shaped design provides rapid and even heat transfer from the VRM to the extended VRM heatsink. - High-conductivity thermal pad
The high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink. - Extended VRM heatsink
The extended heatsink at the end of heat pipe increases thermal mass to offset the additional heat generated by high power consumption. - M.2 heatsink
A dedicated heatsink keeps the triple M.2 SSDs at the optimal operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability. - Grow your gaming world
Gear up with ROG components, from graphics and monitors to mice and keyboards. And up your game with complementary aesthetics, control and compatibility. The ROG ecosystem is more extensive than any competing brand, so enjoy greater choice as your system expands. - Wi-Fi 6
On-board Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) supports ultra-fast wireless speeds, improved capacity and better performance in dense Wi-Fi environments, providing exceptional online gaming experiences. - Better optimization
ROG provides the tools needed to optimize your system quickly and easily. For those who relish complete control, the UEFI BIOS offers advanced customization options so you can tweak every aspect of your system.
