THE FORMULA
ROG Maximus XI Formula exhibits the sleek, refined and functional design that has become iconic in the Maximus motherboard series. With its distinctive integrated CrossChill EK III cooling block, intelligent overclocking software and a stunning polished-mirror finish, the latest-generation Formula is all set to make your showcase rig shine.
THRILLING PERFORMANCE
Building on over a decade of ROG engineering and refinement, Formula is the motherboard that lets you push the boundaries while keeping the thermals in check and under careful control.
BUILT FOR OVERCLOCKING
By default, all of Coffee Lake's major bus frequencies are derived from the same reference clock, limiting the control and flexibility needed to harness the full overclocking potential of the platform. Maximus XI Formula features a dedicated onboard clock generator that supplies dynamic reference clocks to the CPU cores and major subdomains, giving you the freedom to coax every MHz of headroom from the system.
EXPERTLY TOOLED TOTALLY COOLED
CROSSCHILL EK III
CrossChill EK III lets you cool with air and water. The redesigned cooling channels provide wider copper, delivering up to 37.2°C-lower MOSFET temperatures on water, and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK III easily fits existing setups — so you can enjoy efficient, quiet cooling with the minimum effort.
COOLER BY DESIGN
COMPREHENSIVE COOLING ZONE
ASUS Z490 Maximus XII Formula features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
CONTROL YOUR RIG
Fast, intuitive control is vital for effective command of your rig, so we've loaded ROG Maximus XI Formula with simple, flexible tools that let you tweak almost every system aspect. Enjoy intelligent automated tuning with 5-Way Optimization technology, or dive deep into the revered ROG UEFI BIOS to take full manual control. Formula also makes short work of fine-tuning everything from sonics to storage, so it's easy to get every part of your system up to speed.
