Cooler by Design
ROG Maximus XIII Apex features comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
1. 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.
2. 4-pin PWM/DC Fan Headers and ASUS HYDRANODE: Every onboard header auto-detects any PWM or DC fan, and three chassis fan headers offer ASUS HYDRANODE support.
3. AIO Pump: A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.

PCIe 4.0-Ready
ROG Maximus XIII Apex is equipped with four onboard M.2 slots, with two offering PCIe 4.0 support for the latest GPUs and high-speed SSDs. To cope with the heat generated by high-performance M.2 SSDs, each drive is protected by a dedicated M.2 heatsink and an embedded backplate.
ROG DIMM.2
The ROG DIMM.2 module is an innovative expansion card that allows two M.2 drives to be connected via a DDR4 interface. You can then add metal heatsinks, helping to control thermals for maximum performance while elevating the aesthetics.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
A USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® port at the rear and an additional front panel header onboard provide data transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps for the latest devices.
ROG SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software that provides superior audio. In Maximus III Apex, SupremeFX utilizes the ALC4080 codec to increase playback resolution across all channels. The front-panel output is streamed through an integrated Savitech amplifier that’s capable of driving a wide range of gaming headsets and high-fidelity headphones.
1. Audio Line Shielding: Blocks electromagnetic interference from the motherboard or add-ons to provide cleaner audio.
2. Savitech SV3H712 Amplifier: The integrated Savitech amplifier greatly improves THD+N performance from 72 dB to 83 dB to deliver pristine audio quality.
3. ALC 4080 Codec: The ALC4080 codec improves playback audio resolution from 192 kHz to 384 kHz across all channels.
4. Switching MOSFETS: A unique design allows the codec's impedance-sensing function to be ported with either the front or rear headphone outputs.
5. Nichicon® CAPS: These fine-quality Japanese-made components produce a warmer, natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
