Review on ๐ŸŽฎ High-Performance Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 M.2 USB 3.1 X370 Motherboard with Aura Sync RGB Lighting - Unleash Your Gaming Potential! by Braden Bowers

CHECK YOUR PROCESSOR VOLTAGE!

motherboard. It works very well with my Ryzen 1700x. I haven't tried overclocking yet. There's just one pretty big problem. Not sure if it was my processor or this motherboard, but the stock voltage when I got this thing was MUCH higher than what AMD said it was safe. After I fixed that, temperatures and clock speeds are much better. This is a simple fix, but if you don't catch it, it can drain your CPU very quickly (I know a person who burned their CPU in 20 days because they didn't check the voltage or temperature). There is another problem. The custom LED software used to control the lighting on this board, like any custom LED software, seems VERY VERY VERY BAD! Again, this may only be due to my very personal setup, but I thought I'd point that out. Aside from one glaring issue and one small issue that might just be a defect in my board, this is a fantastic board.
