ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII HERO X570 ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Integrated 2.5 Gbps LAN, USB 3.2, SATA, M.2, Node and Aura Sync RGB Lighting

Now, I didn't buy the board here, but rather on overclockers, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on the board here as well. The board is really great. I had some issues with the Strix X570-F, which I returned and then bought this one. First thing I noticed was, that I got a higher 3dmark Timespy score, most likely due to the better VRMs Build quality is fantastic, it has a great amount of USB ports and internal connectors. The downside in comparison to MSI MEG boards is that it only has 2 M.2 slots and not 3, but you do get more SATA ports than the MEG Ace has. It might seem a bit pricey, but the board is worth the price. At least if you go for the higher end Ryzen 3000s

Its well a well specced motherboard, but why for the love of god does it require a HDMI connector for the first boot?!?!?! I wasted 2 days with error codes 02 and 98 trying to figure out what on earth was wrong. As soon as I changed my display port to a HDMI it booted and worked no problems. Thank goodness for internet forums otherwise I would have had to return it.

So this has a bit of a story to it: when I was ordering parts for my new rig in the Spring (which I put together over Labor Day Weekend) I first settled on a different motherboard than this one (MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus). I did further due diligence after getting that board and thanks to a certain PC Hardware YouTube channel I discovered the Power VRM system on the MSI board was rather lousy. So I returned it for a refund and went with the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Crosshair VIII Hero. Let me first begin by saying it is my first ROG motherboard. Also, as I've been in the IT Professionals field for 20 years I am aware that with ASUS you better get a fully working board in the box because if it is faulty or DOA ASUS Support is a gigantic pain to deal with. Fortunately I got a nominal, fully functioning board and being that I did I can tell you this board is worth every penny you spend on it. It's feature set is rich and you get a lot of great options to work with when building your PC with this being such a key piece of the jigsaw puzzle which is a computer build. It's fast, rock steady stable and a joy to have in your build. Of what I can recommend about working with this board first the obvious: when you get your entire PC together and power it on for the first time make sure you flash the BIOS to the most current version right then and there. Then check for new BIOS revisions every 3 months or so. Then, setup your memory profile (XMP or what DOCP) and then install Windows (as long as you aren't OCing your CPU. Also, have the drivers for the motherboard on-hand on a USB flash drive before you plug into the Internet for the first time. In the end, this is a great high-end board and a worthy addition to any build so long as you want to spend for it. That all I got from here and until next time I am out!

Great MoBo, paired mine with a 5900x and 6900xt. Offers good overclocking room. My 5900x runs at 4.45 ghz. The AI suite 3 offers good overclocking options. Been a month since purchase don't see any issues.

Dead on arrival. And because my CPU is delayed by 3 weeks, when I found this motherboard is dead on arrival I already missed the returning windows WTF!!!
