 VRM and I/O heatsink
A high mass, finned heatsink is connected to the I/O cover via a heat pipe, providing an expansive surface area for efficient heat dissipation.

 Large‑diameter heatpipe
The U-shaped design provides rapid and even heat transfer from the VRM to the extended VRM heatsink.

 Aluminum heatsink cover
The heatsink cover is crafted from pure aluminum to efficiently cool the onboard M.2 drive.

 DIMM.2 heatsinks
The ROG DIMM.2 module now passively cools M.2 drives with metal heatsinks that also keep your build looking clean.

 High-conductivity thermal pad
The high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.

 Extended VRM heatsink
The extended heatsink increases thermal mass to deal with the additional heat generated by high power consumption.

 Chipset heatsink
A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.

OPTIMIZATION

Maximus XII Apex is packed with intuitive and flexible tools to allow customization across all system parameters to deliver the performance you want.
 
Differential Sensing

Accurate Voltage Monitoring

Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn't ideal, leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported to software. Maximus XII Apex features a differential-sensing circuit and delicate IC that simplify overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.
