ASUS Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial Preview

Up Close – Accessories

The Glacial comes with a massive selection of accessories. More than you could ever need, although at this price we want the kitchen sink included at least. There are RGB splitters…

  

..fan splitters, which don’t forget promise the ability to control all the fan speeds individually despite coming from a single header.

  

This is the ROG Clavis audio dongle, which has a ESS9281 Pro Quad DAC and amp you can connect to a Type-C port, plug in your 3.5mm headset and enjoy MQA audio and noise cancellation.

  
  

It wouldn’t be a premium ASUS motherboard without one of their new WiFi antenna which can clip to your case for hassle free wireless networking.

  

We love a break-out box of fan and RGB controls and the ASUS Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial has a very good one included. Right up there with the nicest feeling ones we’ve had in our sweaty paws, but also one of the most fully featured too. Anything that helps us build our titanic systems with less fuss is something we’re totally on board with.

  
  
  

Lastly the ROG DIMM.2 will be familiar to many, as it’s a well proven technology that gives you another string to your bow in terms of getting as much storage, as quick as it can go, without any hassle.
