Details

The chipsets of the 200 series "Union Point" have a maximum of 24 PCIe Express 3.0 lanes and generally bring more HSIO lanes (High Speed I / O) with which more internal connections (eg SATA or PCIe- Slots) can be used simultaneously. As a Z270 motherboard, the ASUS Maximus IX EXTREME allows the overclocking of K-series CPUs that have a freely selectable multiplier.

In order to simplify the construction of a custom-loop water cooling system, the Maximus IX EXTREME has come up with a special monoblock CPU cooler for the high-end mainboard. The cooler cools not only the CPU, but also an M.2 SSD. The G1 / 4-inch connectors are equipped with sensors that shut down the system when it comes into contact with water or emit a beep. Other features include a 10-phase power supply and incredible 12 4-pin fan connections. The latter are among other things to facilitate the optimal control of PWM fans on radiators and are installed in groups on the sides of the mainboard.
The features of the ASUS Maximus IX EXTREME at a glance:

3 × PCIe (3.0) x16 (16/8/4) & 1 × PCIe (3.0) x4
2 × USB 3.1 (Type A & Type C) / 8 × USB 3.0
2 × M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) / 8 × SATA 6G
Supports max. 64 GB DDR4 RAM up to 4.133 MHz
Includes ac-WiFi module with antennas
ASUS AURA RGB LED lighting
Expandable via RGB LED header (4-pin)
CPU overclocking via multiplier & base clock
The ASUS Maximus IX EXTREME in detail

The ASUS Maximus IX EXTREME is a very well-equipped E-ATX motherboard for enthusiasts and overclockers with Intel's Z270 chipset for Intel's 6000 and 7000 series processors. The black board has three PCIe x16 slots, one of which is connected to the chipset with full 16 lanes, while the other two PCIe-x16 slots are electrically connected with four or eight data lines, respectively. For board and expansion cards, the board also has a PCIe x4 slot and supports both NVIDIA's SLI and AMD's CrossFireX technology.

The mainboard has four DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. Up to 64 GB of RAM is taken up by the two memory banks, and depending on the processor, the board supports a memory clock of either 2.133 MHz (with Skylake CPU) or 2.400 MHz (with Kaby Lake CPU), overclocking also using memory modules up to 4.133 MHz Can be.

The board also provides two M.2 slots for high-speed NVE-M.2 SSDs as well as four SATA-6G connectors for 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hard disks and SSDs to connect data carriers (Including RAID support). The M.2 ports are connected to the chipset via four PCIe lanes in the 3.0 standard and, in combination with the NVMe protocol, enable a data transfer rate of just under 4 GB / s. Thus, M.2 PCIe SSDs are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs!

The mainboard has a new USB port of type C, which is especially thin and can be inserted at both ends at the I / O panel. In addition to the Type C port, the motherboard also provides a backward-compatible USB 3.1 type A port. USB 3.1 ports are twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports at maximum achievable speeds of 10 Gbps! For input devices and other gaming peripherals, the I / O panel also has six USB 3.0 ports.

If no graphics card is available, the integrated graphics processor of a Skylake or Kaby Lake CPU can be used to connect monitors directly to the back of the motherboard - two ports are available with HDMI and DisplayPort. Internally, the mainboard provides various headers, jumpers and buttons as well as XMP support and convinces with various overclocking features. The special features of the ASUS Maximus IX EXTREME include an ASUS Aura RGB LED lighting and two headers for RGB LED strips. In addition to the Gigabit LAN port, the board has a WiFi module that even supports the fast ac standard.
