As you can tell, there are a ton of motherboards that ASUS has introduced with this launch and rather than taking a look at every single motherboard, we will focus on the flagships of each tier while offering specs of the other motherboards below.

ASUS ROG Maximus XI Motherboard Series With ROG Maximus XI Extreme Flagship

The flagship motherboard of the ROG Maximus XI series is the ROG Maximus XI Extreme. This one is a feature-packed behemoth which rocks an E-ATX form factor and comes with the LGA 1151 CPU socket to support the next-generation Intel Core processors. The motherboard has a very high-end VRM design which is powered by dual 8 pin connectors and cooled by two large aluminum blocks with heat pipe integration. The ROG Maximus XI Extreme has a few design elements similar to the ROG Zenith Extreme, the X399 motherboard we all know and love.

From the design scheme, we can see that ASUS has gone with an all-black aesthetic and uses RGB LEDs on the PCH, I/O cover and the back of the PCB for a smooth lighting effect. The motherboard comes with four DDR4 DIMM slots and also a DIMM.2 riser board that allow for two additional M.2 devices to be connected in addition to the two M.2 slots that are directly available on the board itself. Expansion options include three PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots (x16, x8, x4 electrical) while storage ports include 6 SATA III. There are all the handy OC buttons arranged next to the 24-pin ATX connector which comes in handy while overclocking and tuning.

The motherboard does come with an OLED display on the I/O cover which is similar to recent ASUS high-end options. Coupled with the SupremeFX audio solution and great OC capabilities, we can see this motherboard becoming the best option for overclockers but would cost a lot.
