Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced Maximus IX Extreme, a seriously
powerful new Z270 gaming motherboard that’s expertly tooled to be totally
cooled, with an integrated monoblock for water-cooled performance right out of
the box.
To create this all-new water-cooling solution,
ROG teamed up with Bitspower. Designed from the ground up, Maximus IX Extreme’s
monoblock has flow-rate, water-leak and temperature sensors all seamlessly
integrated to keep wiring and tubing complexity
to a minimum.

monoblock has flow-rate, water-leak and temperature sensors all seamlessly
integrated to keep wiring and tubing complexity
to a minimum.
Based on the latest Intel® Z270 chipset and
ready for powerful 7th Generation Intel Core™ processors, ROG’s latest gaming
powerhouse also has ASUS Aura Sync illumination, support for ultra-fast DDR4
4133MHz memory, and the latest SupremeFX S1220 codec with a 113dB signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) on the line-in for exceptional audio experiences.

Loaded with comprehensive safeguards, including pre-mounted
I/O shield, strengthened SafeSlot PCI Express® slots, SafeDIMM memory slots and
a copper-plated PCB edge, Maximus IX Extreme is built to power through even the
most frenetic gaming sessions. It’s also engineered with the latest and fastest
connectivity, including dual M.2 PCIe® 3.0 x4, a USB 3.1 front-panel connector,
2×2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO and 40Gbps Thunderbolt™
3 support.

Maximus IX
Extreme simplifies water-cooling with the integrated monoblock
engineered to cool both the processor and voltage-regulator module (VRM). The
embedded flow meter monitors the monoblock’s water-pump status in real time,
while the temperature sensors monitor the temperature
of both the water input and output. The ROG monoblock even has a built-in leak
detector to alert the user and automatically shut the system down for added
protection.

monoblock also makes direct contact with the integrated M.2 heatsink, for temperature reductions in
the M.2 SSD area of up to 42.8°C — preventing throttling for maximum
performance.

Commenting
on his company’s cooperation in creating Maximus IX Extreme’s monoblock
Bitspower CEO, Vincent Yu, said: “It was an awesome opportunity to work with
ROG. The brand’s expertise in hardware and thermal design combined with our water-cooling experience
was the perfect storm to create this revolutionary waterblock!”.

The new
motherboard also has onboard fan connectors that are conveniently located for
water-cooling radiators, with eight headers divided between the top and lower
edges of the board. With dedicated sensors feeding information straight into
ROG’s intuitive Fan Xpert 4 utility, it’s easy for users to configure the optimum RPM fan curve for each radiator.

Maximus IX
Extreme lifts ROG’s revered SupremeFX audio technology to new quality levels,
delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection
for best-ever recording performance, and 120dB on the line-out for
crystal-clear sound. ROG engineers have also added a low-dropout regulator for
cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220 codec, an ESS® Sabre Hi-Fi
ES9023P digital-to-analog (DAC) converter for superior front-panel output, and
a Texas Instruments® RC 4580 op-amp for high gain with low distortion — which
all adds up to audio that envelops the listener as never before. For easier
identification in any lighting condition, Maximus IX
Extreme even features color-coded and LED-illuminated 3.5mm audio connectors.

Extreme comes with Sonic Studio III, the audio-effects station that’s been
updated with an all-new routing feature to port streams to different outputs,
app-level preferences for instant audio profiles, and improved noise filtering
for conversations with total clarity.

Sonic Radar
III has also been upgraded, with an evolved audio engine that processes sounds
more accurately than ever to ensure that the gamer is always aware of what’s
going on around them. A new on-screen arrow has been added to help pinpoint the
enemy position instantly, and there’s an all-new head-up display with an
in-game three-dimensional arrow for more intuitive experiences.

safeguards to keep both itself and the user protected.
ROG’s
patent-pending pre-mounted I/O shield offers increased protection against
electrostatic discharge of 12kV and is pre-fitted to make it easier to install
the motherboard. Its sleek new design means it looks as good as it performs,
while Maximus IX Extreme’s copper-plated edge both improves the motherboard’s aesthetic
appeal and provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference
(EMI).

Maximus IX
Extreme also offers PC DIYers the reassurance
of SafeSlot and SafeDIMM. SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and
engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured
in a single step, a new insert-molding process integrates the slot with
fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored
to the motherboard through additional solder points. SafeDIMM is the exclusive
DIMM slot with a metal key-pin that increases durability compared to traditional
DIMM slots.

Maximus IX
Extreme features the very latest Intel Ethernet (I219-V) for faster, smoother
gaming. Intel’s LAN has the double advantage of reducing CPU overhead and
offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput, so there’s more power for both
the game and gameplay.

The new
motherboard also benefits from dual PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots that provide NVMe®
SSD RAID support for an incredible performance boost. This enables Maximus IX
Extreme users to create a RAID configuration with up to three PCIe 3.0 storage
devices via two M.2 slots and the PCH-side PCIe x16 slot to enjoy the fastest
data-transfer speeds on the 7th Gen Intel Core platform.

USB-C is the
latest USB connector technology, and Maximus IX Extreme allows users to put it
right where they need it with an onboard USB 3.1 front-panel connector. This is
powered by an ASM 2142 USB 3.1 controller running at PCIe 3.0 x2 bandwidth to maximize data-transfer
speeds. The motherboard also supports Thunderbolt 3, for transfers of up to
40Gbps for four times (4X) the data speeds of USB 3.1 and twice
(2X) the video bandwidth.
