ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO BTF is an enthusiast-class motherboard for building a desktop around an Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processor. It uses the Intel Z890 chipset and LGA1851 socket, and its BTF layout moves motherboard power, graphics-card power, USB and fan connections to the hidden side. This helps keep visible cabling out of the main view of a compatible build.
Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256 GB of memory. For storage, the board has six onboard M.2 slots: three use PCIe 5.0 and three use PCIe 4.0, giving room for multiple M.2 drives.
Networking includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, while the rear panel provides two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C ports for compatible peripherals and storage devices. This is the BTF version of the Z890 Hero; its hidden-connector arrangement is the defining feature for builders planning a clean-looking system. The exact part number is 90MB1KG0-M0EAY0.
