Cool to the extreme
ROG teamed up with the geniuses at Bitspower to develop an all-new,
integrated water-cooling solution for Maximus IX Extreme — one that
elevates simplicity and efficiency to extraordinary levels.
Designed from the ground up, and ready to work right out of the
box, Maximus IX Extreme's built-in monoblock has flow-rate,
water-leak and temperature sensors all seamlessly integrated — plus
Aura Sync RGB lighting, for instant curb appeal! With dedicated
sensors feeding information straight into ROG's intuitive Fan Xpert
4 utility, it's easy to configure options for shutdown timing and
alerts, so you can stay on top of the heat and remain cool in every
game!
Aura lighting control
Customize LED effects with intuitive ASUS Aura Sync
lighting-control software. Aura allows you to cast a stunning
multi-color glow across your build via the ROG Maximus IX Extreme's
brilliant built-in RGB LEDs or attached RGB strips via the two
onboard 4-pin headers*. Fire up ASUS Aura and enjoy the creative
freedom of nine lighting schemes ─ and watch all of the lights on
your rig glow in perfect synchronization!
Outshine the competition
ASUS Aura Sync technology makes Maximus IX Extreme the control hub
for your illumination ambitions — so it's easy to synchronize
incredible lighting effects between compatible components,
including RGB LED strips, graphics cards, keyboards and even mice!
Change all LEDs in unison or employ dynamic modes to flow the
illumination effects smoothly across all synchronized
devices.
New SupremeFX Codec
ROG's awesome SupremeFX audio technology has levelled up,
delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the
line-in connection and 120dB on line-out — and that means our
best-ever recording quality! We've also added a low-dropout
regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220 codec,
an ESS® Sabre Hi-Fi ES9023P digital-to-analog converter for
superior front-panel output, and a Texas Instruments® RC4580 op-amp
for high gain with low distortion — which all adds up to audio that
envelops you as never before.
SupremeFX S1220 codec
10 DAC channels, simultaneous 7.1-channel playback, independent
2.0-channel, multiple-stream stereo to front-panel outputs
Exceptional RMAA performance (dynamic range)
