 ROG Maximus Z690 Hero, sneak peek for cooling the board uses the kitchen sink of heat pipes, heat sinks, and thermal pads to keep the board cool. This also backwards compatible with older LG 1200 coolers. It's cool and it's supposed to be smart with AI overclocking, AI networking, AI cooling, and two-way AI noise cancellation. Cool, smart, and sexy with its built-in tasteful RGB. This guy does have DDR5 and PCI-E5, so everything is fast, fast, fast for this motherboard. As part of the fast, fast, fast ethos of this motherboard, it also comes with what ASUS calls the Hyper M.2 card. This add-on card comes with a MOBO and you can have three M.2 SSDs in here. ASUS has a new feature where you just press a button and it unlatches the PCI-E lock here. We weren't able to benchmark this because we don't have a 12th gen Intel CPU. No one does, but the specs look great.
