ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard - ROGCROSSHAIRX870EHER

The AI PC-ready ROG Crosshair X870E Hero offers unyielding power delivery; robust thermal management; hyperspeed connectivity; comprehensive PCIE 5.0 and DDR5 support to unleash the performance of AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors. Dark hues predominate across this motherboard; drawing your attention to premium metallic textures; nickel-plated surfaces; sleek contours and a stereoscopic visual effect on the large M.2 and chipset heatsink. This board also features the Polymo Lighting II effect. This upgraded lighting module built into the I/O shroud provides more dynamic RGB illumination for the signature ROG logo.

Asus AI Intelligence

AI Networking II: AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance; provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity; and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7.

AI Overclocking: ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

AI Cooling II: A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test; and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

Performance

Overclocking - Dynamic OC Switcher: Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

Overclocking - Core Flex: Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock; power; and thermals in creative new ways.

Overclocking - Asynchronous Clock: For next-level frequency flexibility; the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory; PCIe; and the Infinity Fabric speed.

Overclocking - PBO Enhancement: AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance.

Memory - DDR5 Domination: For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds; the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

Memory - NitroPath DRAM Technology: NitroPath DRAM Technology provides enhanced DDR5 memory performance. Shorter gold finger pins and optimized signal pathways ensure faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU; allowing for greater memory overclocking headroom and stability. These reinformed DRAM slots are also better prepared to withstand the wear and tear of the RAM installation process than traditional slot designs; perfect for enthusiasts who keep their system upgraded with the fastest kits available.

Memory - AEMP: ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.

Power Solution - 8 + 8-pin ProCool II Power Connectors: Dual ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.

Power Solution - MicroFine Alloy Chokes: Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.

Power Solution - 10K black metallic capacitors: Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated for high operating temperatures.

Power Solution - 18+2+2 Power Stages: The VRM features 18+2+2 power stages; each rated to handle up to 110 amps.
