ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL – HardwareCooking

This benchmark is based on the classic ROG MAXIMUS XIII Extreme. With one difference, the presence of a monoblock bundle. This one also bears the reference EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial D-RGB Plexi . We are on a motherboard with an LGA1200 socket on the Intel Z590 chipset . It is therefore able to accommodate Intel Core processors such as the Rocket Lake-S: i9-11900K and the i5-11600K that we tested as well as 10th generation CPUs such as the i9-10900K or the i5-10600K . It accepts DDR4 memory up to a frequency of 5333 MHz (OC) for a total capacity of 128 GB on four slots. Good point, the rear connection offers two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Two premium motherboards sit atop Asus’ Z590 product stack, and we’ll be looking at both in depth below: the ROG Maximus XIII Extreme and its liquid-cooled big brother, the Extreme Glacial. Priced at $899 and $1499.99 respectively, these boards are undoubtedly tough on your wallet, but they offer some of the best hardware and one of the most comprehensive feature sets around. This includes incredibly robust power delivery, a whopping five M.2 sockets, dual Thunderbolt 4/Type-C ports, watercooling monitoring capabilities, premium audio, enough buttons and switches to keep the most skilled overclocker busy, and of course a high-end appearance that looks great with most build themes.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL – Pause Hardware

This new water block is made of pure electrolytic copper plated with nickel in order to prevent oxidation. The coolant is directed by milled paths passing first on your processor, then through the M.2 slot, through the PCH and finally through the vrm. Integrated sensors at the inlet and outlet therefore transmit statistics to the Fan Xpert 4 software. You will always have an eye on the flow rate of your flow as well as on the temperature of your liquid. Finally, a small addressable RGB touch is integrated and visible through the plexiglass panels located at the ends.

ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial is the flagship of the Maximus XIII series of motherboards, which differs from the “simple” Extreme version by the presence of a water block in the package. Yes, not a simple water block, but a monoblock – it removes heat not only from the processor, but also from its power subsystem, as well as the M.2 chipset drive. In addition, the boards differ in appearance and to some extent in the component base and placement of some elements.

ASUS Z590 ROG MAXIMUS Boards Detailed

by

ASUS began taking preorders for its Z590 motherboards just yesterday. Among TUF and STRIX series, only one ROG Maximus motherboard is currently listed on Amazon, the XIII Hero. The Hero series has always been very popular, often being the best compromise between ridiculously priced Extreme or Apex series while still offering all premium and often unnecessary features that we simply ‘want’ to have from the Maximus series.

ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero, Extreme, and Extreme Glacial have all been detailed in a new slide deck that was just sent to us. The presentation has a lot of details that we are not going to repeat in this post. We encourage you to just click on the first slide and enjoy the presentation.
