Fremont, California (October 17, 2023) - ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced a new collaboration centered around EVA-02 and Asuka from the long-celebrated Evangelion anime series. The EVA-02 lineup includes the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard, ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4090 graphics card, ROG Ryujin III 360 AIO cooler, ROG Hyperion chassis, ROG Herculx graphics card holder, peripherals and other gear.

ROG Maximus Z790 Hero EVA-02 Edition motherboard

This special version of the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero arrives with EVA-02’s signature red and orange theme and traces of green. The backplate design comes with EVA-02 Beast Mode and Evangelion patterns, supporting this motherboard’s immense power and control, as it takes 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and DDR5 memory kit to the next level. An A.T. Field design around the CPU socket and Polymo lighting on the I/O cover switches between Asuka and regular EVA-02.

ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 4090 EVA-02 Edition graphics cards and ROG Herculx EVA-02 Edition graphics card holder

The EVA Editions of the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 includes a unique EVA-02 color theme on the fan shroud and right-hand side of the card, and an Asuka art on the backplate. The cards come equipped with a myriad of ASUS features, including Axial-tech fans with reverse rotation and 0dB technology, an exclusive vapor chamber design, and top-shelf power delivery.

The ROG Herculx EVA-02 Edition graphics card holder is styled like the EVA-02’s Progressive Knife and features an adjustable wheel to fine-tune height.

ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB EVA-02 Edition AIO cooler

The ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB EVA-02 Edition embodies the Evangelion spirit and is adorned by Asuka-inspired artwork around the aluminum bezel. In addition to monitoring system vitals, the Ryujin’s expansive 3.5-inch LED screen can display a collection of Asuka and EVA-02-themed animations. The ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB EVA-02 Edition also includes three special 120 mm ARGB fans that snap together with an advanced magnetic connector.

ROG Hyperion EVA-02 Edition chassis

The ROG Hyperion EVA-02 Edition is a premium gaming chassis that includes an EVA-02-themed lighting panel. Interior and exterior details match the aesthetics of the EVA-02, making it the foundation of the collaboration.
