Asus ROG Maximus XII Apex motherboard

The ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII APEX Motherboard is the premiere overclocking platform for extreme OC enthusiasts who wish to unlock the full potential of the latest gen Intel Core processors. Thanks to its optimised layout, enhanced power delivery and more, the strikingly designed motherboard is perfect for gamers, overclockers and PC build enthusiasts.

Cooling:
The motherboard´s comprehensive cooling solution features carefully-designed heatsinks which have the perfect balance of surface mass and air flow. With the addition of fan headers, the onboard cooling of Maximus XII Apex has more than enough capacity for specialisation, maintaining system stability under any condition. The extended heatsink increases thermal mass to deal with the additional heat generated by high power consumption. A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.
