ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E HERO ATX AMD Socket AM5 Motherboard

About this deal

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO AM5 DDR5 ATX Motherboard - Black ROG Crosshair X870E HERO The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero, tailored for PC AI, delivers unyielding power delivery, robust thermal management, hyper-fast connectivity, PCIE 5.0 and full DDR5 support to unleash the performance of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors. Dark hues predominate on this motherboard, drawing attention to premium metal textures, nickel-plated surfaces, elegant contours and a stereoscopic visual effect on the large M.2 and chipset heatsink. This board also features Polymo Lighting II. This enhanced lighting module, integrated into the I/O housing, provides more dynamic RGB illumination for the ROG logo. AI COOLING II An ASUS-patented algorithm reduces unnecessary noise while performing a quick stress test, then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds. AI OVERCLOCKING ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling system to determine the optimal system configuration. Predicted values can be automatically engaged or used as a baseline for further experimentation. AI NETWORKING II Fast Check Armoury Crate's Fast Check allows users to quickly detect WiFi signal strength. Traffic Monitor Armoury Crate Traffic Monitor tracks the usage of your current WiFi channel. Switch to a less congested channel by clicking the Channel Switch button* to improve network performance. *The Channel Switch feature requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel switching process can be done in the Router IP section of the Traffic Monitor. Gamefirst GameFirst is now integrated with Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimizes network performance by allocating bandwidth in real-time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various customizable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest possible latency during intense cloud gaming streaming sessions. To improve the user experience, GameFirst is now integrated with Armoury Crate. Direction Finder Armoury Crates Direction Finder* helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for the best WiFi signal strength. *Direction Finder is only compatible with connections in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands. OVERCLOCKING CORE FLEX In its simplest form, you can maximize the base clock during light loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce the CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. However, the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently. This allows you to tailor CPU performance to your will. Dynamic OC Switch Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by allowing you to set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between manual overlock for heavy multi-threaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest version of Overclocking Load Guard features an improved instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes while overclocking. MEMORY AEMP AEMP automatically detects the memory chips in your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing, and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to boost performance. DDR5 Power For those looking to reach higher speeds than standard DDR5, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero is ready to accommodate higher-end kits with support for AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO). Experts can further enhance performance with a variety of UEFI settings. *Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the specification table for detailed information.
