Review on ROG Crosshair VIII Motherboard 802 11Ax Computer Components by Justin Miller

board set works great and offers some nice overclocking features. There is a lot of controversy about the price of this board, but compared to other $700 boards, it's not overpriced for what you get. That's comparative when you consider what you get for other vendors' $700 boards (compared to their other cheaper models). To be honest, this board should probably only interest you if you're running a water-cooled system, and more for aesthetic reasons (because it looks cool). If you're not going to use this board in a water cooling system, you're probably better off buying another $700 board. I think my main con with this board is that most mobos are not water cooled (it's only limited by the VRM). Anyone who is bothered by the fan noise on the chipset is not even audible.
