About this deal

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO BTF ATX Motherboard The ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO BTF is a premium AMD AM5 motherboard crafted for high-performance gaming and enthusiast builds. Featuring ASUSs innovative BTF ("Back to the Future") hidden-connector design, this board routes power and data cables such as CPU power, SATA, USB, and fan headers to the back edge of the motherboard for ultra-clean cable management and improved airflow. It includes a high-power PCIe 5.0 x16 slot on the front to deliver up to 600W directly to compatible BTF graphics cards, eliminating the need for bulky external GPU power cables while maintaining support for standard GPUs. With robust DDR5 memory support beyond 8200+ MT/s, Wi-Fi 7, dual 2.5Gb and 5Gb Ethernet, multiple USB4 Type-C ports, and comprehensive cooling, the HERO BTF balances extreme performance, advanced connectivity, and sleek aesthetics. Perfect for next-gen AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 Series processors, this motherboard empowers clean, powerful, and visually stunning PC builds. Advanced BTF Design With the combination of a BTF graphics card, motherboard and chassis, you can enjoy a full hidden-connector experience. This Advanced BTF approach is achieved through the new graphics card high-power slot available on BTF motherboards, which can deliver up to 600 watts to BTF-compatible graphics cards. With a full set of BTF components, builders can eliminate visible cables for an ultra-clean aesthetic. Hidden Connector Design The hidden-connector design can be ideal for first-time builders because it provides easier cable management. The absence of visible cables also creates a clean and tidy look that would normally require an expert. High-Power GPU Slot The graphics card high-power slot stands ready to supply all the wattage that a BTF graphics card needs. This special design can deliver up to 600 watts through the motherboard itself, eliminating the need for visible 8-pin or 16-pin power cables on the front.
