Asus ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Impact SFF Gaming Motherboard – AMD AM4 Ryzen 3000, PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, Intel LAN, SATA 6GB/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, SO-DIMM.2, Aura Sync Review

Product arrived well packaged on the outside, but looks like a used board. The plastic screen over the board was scratched and had fingerprints, the Sodimm card was loose on the board and the board itself had moisture marks and clearly visible scratches on the back. I cannot return the product for a replacement (not sure if the replacement will be new) or a refund. A costly mistake on my part, at least the board booted up and worked properly.

I heard about a problem with the thermal pads on this board, but I haven't had any problems. Great board, easy to use bios, vrm active fans are almost silent. WARNING: The SODIMM Heat Sync screws are over tightened. I safely removed them with (000 Phillips) with a piece of tape underneath for extra hold and gap filling. So I didn't tear off the screws. I ended up having to install mods without a heatsink because they wouldn't fit between the graphics card and the thick h80i v2 heatsink.

This is an excellent MB that works great with both the latest AMD processors and powerful GPUs like the RTX 3090. This is a small form factor MB that performs at the same level as the mid/high level. ATH. Very easy setup compared to similar Asus MBs, setup and up and running in less than 15 minutes. The only thing that confuses me is that the M.2 slots are on the small front expansion card that comes with the MB. The dual M.2 works well, but I see a bit of flex after just a few weeks due to the

Preordered this board and finally got it. I have a 3900x, 32GB RAM, Nvidia 2060 RTX in a TU150 case. Everything fit perfectly. Don't worry about the DTX form factor as it fits most ITX cases. I tested the concept on a small Master Elite 110 cooler and it fits great and the case is small. If your AIO case is limited to 120mm, keep an eye on the height of the CPU water block for clearance issues as the fan can be tight against the heatsink. Even if you use 1 fan inside or outside, it still can…

This motherboard is one of the best x570 when it comes to VRM for overclocking. However, the M.2 riser card and heatsink prevent the use of many third-party heatsinks. I connected this motherboard to a 3600x and the standard heatsink barely fit as the narrow edge of the motherboard heatsink made contact with the round standard heatsink. Also, I'm trying to use my Noctua D15 and it won't let me use an M.2 riser card. This motherboard looks great, but if you're considering buying one, be sure to…

This is the third Asus board I have bought in 6 months. The first board, gaming b450-1, excellent board and quality. I bought another B450-i and found that the screw on the m.2 heatsink was broken. This has created an unacceptable situation that I am currently working to resolve. Part of my decision was to buy a different board. Got the best of the best, enter Crosshair VIII Impact. It's just a beautiful beast on the board, and it even comes with a separate SO-DIMM. Six screws to access the m.2

Reading the reviews made me worried. Quickly figured out that most issues other than DOA situations were caused by user error. So it's very typical when it comes to computers. Have the right tools and make sure they are of good quality. Read the manual, then read it again. This is bragging rights purchase. It won't be worth the money unless you plan on buying well above average components and it still isn't worth the money. I knew this before I bought it and it works just like my 130 gigabyte…

First of all, this board is great, but it's better for the price. I recently completed my build (3900x/2080super/32gb3600trident z neo/sabrent Rocket 4.0 nvme) and while the performance was amazing, I noticed that my bios would reset every time I turned off the PSU and unplugged it to turn my rig off to bring to life room . to the office. Strange, I thought I might need to update the bios, so I did it with the latest 1201 over USB (renamed to C8I.CAP) and low, and lo and behold the problem…

I bought this board ten months ago and used it for about two months before I got frustrated with it and ASUS. Sent it back once after it walled itself in and they reflashed it and sent it back minus some stuff I sent along. I've been using it for a little longer and after updating to the latest firmware available, tried to overclock the memory again. I blocked myself right away. By this point I had modified it to the point where going back again would be too much of a hassle to mess around…
