Pros
- Top segment, top component base.
Cons
- For 5 months of use and 3 body changes (dismantling assembly) the only drawback is 1. Weak and uneven illumination of the name "HERO"

Description of πͺ ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) - Top-Notch AM4 ATX AMD X570 Motherboard
128GB Dual Channel DDR4-SDRM Motherboard. ATX form factor. Chipset: AMD X570. Ports: 8 x USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 x LAN RJ-45, 1 x Digital audio optical out, 4 x USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-A. Backed by a 3 years manufacturers warranty.
Pros
- - simple ate of BIOS and drivers using the armory crate utility; - ability to disable rgb (armory crate/bios); - active cooling on the board is not audible; 10/26/2022 - a year of stable operation without any problems. : 02/15/2022 Ethernet is something that is not written anywhere at all. The board has 2 ethernet ports, if you include 100 mb/s from one provider and 100 mb (in my case, 300 and 500 mb/s gave 800 mb/s, see screenshots) from another provider, you will almost double the download speed, although it doesnβt seem to be possible to distribute works. If there are problems with one provider, then you will continue to work without problems with another provider. It also seems like the best possible ping is chosen, but this is not accurate. This is a very cool feature, I change the review to 4 balls.
Cons
- Serious disadvantages: - very tight latch-lock of the video card, it is very difficult to remove the video card, more details in the comments below. - built-in cooler control shortcomings: - armory crate (utility for the board) offers to install all sorts of programs that are not necessary. winrar in the first message displays buy me for x, bullguard IS antivirus, overwolf and chrome. 10/26/2022 - Periodically flies backlight settings
Pros
- 1. Time Very high quality and therefore cold. Will pull 16 cores in overclocking without question. 2. Board layout. I connected 6 coolers (4 case and 2 processor) without a single extension cable and using a reobas. Before that, I dealt with 3 boards (x470 and x570) and could not do the same on any of them. Everything is finally correctly displayed on the board by engineers. 3. Lots of SATA connectors. For me this is critical. 4. System overclocking. At the moment there is a "plug" 2600x, the stone works at 4250 MHz, voltage 1.28. Temperature under load 75-77Β°C. The vrm itself is at room temperature
Cons
- 1. Expensive. The cost of this fee, if ordered from abroad, is 24,000 + delivery. It turns out 27 depending on the dollar exchange rate and so on. In our country, it costs 30+ almost everywhere . 2. Economy. I buried 3 boards before on x470 and x570 chipsets. The diagnoses are simple. You start to "overclock" the memory or bonally try to run it on xmp. My G. Skill kit is 2x16 3200cl14. When you try to start with xmp profile - not loading in 100% of cases. If there is no BIOS reset button, you start to climb into the case itself, rearrange the memory strips, and here lies the biggest jamb. Everyone saves on textolite. Bonally, the textolite is bent somewhere in the area of ββ\u200b\u200bthe memory modules and after that the dram Led, memory led, or whatever you call it, is always on. (There was also vga ice). This board looks stronger, but still not so strong, for comparison, before that there was a system with Asus p8z77-V, the board is heavier than this one. Therefore, I advise everyone who assembles a computer on all x470 and x570 boards to keep this in mind. 3. Dampness of the AM4 platform in terms of memory support. Most memory modules are not clear to start or not. There is no list of supported memory for pinnacle ridge processor for this motherboard. officially these processors are supported, but the manufacturer does not consider it necessary to indicate this on the site.
