ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX
Silver ATXCore Ultra Series 2Two DDR5 DIMMsDual Thunderbolt 4
A specialist ATX motherboard for enthusiasts tuning Intel Core Ultra desktops. Its two-slot memory layout, dedicated overclocking controls and silver finish suit a carefully planned performance build.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Requires a supported LGA1851 processor, DDR5 memory and ATX case. Check CPU support, BIOS and memory QVL. M.2_3 and M.2_4 share PCIe lanes with expansion slots. ASUS instructs users to connect the monitor to a discrete graphics card during OS installation.
Best For
✓ Advanced CPU and memory tuning
✓ Silver or grey ATX builds
✓ Multiple NVMe drives and Thunderbolt peripherals
Key Features
Memory tuning focus
Two DDR5 slots support up to 128GB, CUDIMM and XMP. DIMM Fit, DIMM Flex and AEMP III assist memory configuration; achievable speeds depend on the processor and modules.
Six M.2 connections
Four slots are onboard; two more are provided by the included ROG DIMM.2 card. Three onboard slots support PCIe 5.0 x4. Plan expansion-card bandwidth before filling them.
Wired and wireless networking
Realtek 5Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide network and peripheral connections. Full Wi-Fi 7 functions require Windows 11 24H2 or later and suitable equipment.
Hardware tuning controls
ProbeIt points, ReTry, Safe Boot, LN2 mode and dual BIOS serve advanced tuning. BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS help recovery; Q-Release and Q-Latch simplify component access.
Technical Specifications
What's in the Box
ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX motherboard and quick start guide
ROG DIMM.2 with heatsink, M.2 pad and two screw packages
ROG Memory Fan Kit and M.2 22110 thermal pad
ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna and Q-connector
Three M.2 Q-Slide packages and five M.2 backplate rubber packages

What Will Not Work
LGA1700 processors and DDR4 modules are incompatible; there are only two system-memory slots.
Enabling M.2_3 reduces the primary PCIe slot to x8 and the second to x4. Enabling both M.2_3 and M.2_4 disables the second slot; the primary remains x8.
Six M.2 drives require the included DIMM.2 card; M.2 SATA mode is not listed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Choose the Apex for its memory layout and tuning tools. A conventional four-DIMM Z890 board may be a better fit for gradual RAM expansion. Compare lane sharing before choosing SSD positions and add-in cards. Compare ASUS Intel motherboards at Singular Tell us your equipment model and we can check the compatibility requirements.
