Used board but works perfectly. The board was used but I can say it works perfectly. Having been a person whos job is was to test boards for dell at one point in life, it appears the board was properly tested before being resold. There was one minor scuff near the fan and that is the only damage I could find. I am very impressed with the motherboard so far and is very high quality. My system includes a 5800x3d cpu and a rx7800xt gpu, no issues at all. I did update the bios straight away to version 4702.

Absolutely amazing. If your looking to build or upgrade your AMD rig, this is your one stop purchase – just buy a very reputable power supply as it will need it!
Got this bad boy for myself, not bothering with specs but I crammed all I could into a mid tower (claimed to be full…) lian li O11 dynamic XL case. Got 1x 360mm by 40mm rad on the top, a 120mm by the IO panel, and a 360x60mm (whhaaaaaaat) radiator on the bottom, not to mention the distro plate
Also picked up a ekwb motherboard monoblock for this sucker, covers the Cpu and replaces the included VRMs as the block, well, water cools those too. Custom made for this specific board, hence why I chose it (motherboard, block was the deciding factor).
Anyways, it’s awesome. Overclocked it to the brink of death with zero issues. Sure it was a long trial of 30m stress tests 100mhz at a time, gradually getting to where it was stable and didn’t crash. Lowered voltage little by little, then continued to increase 50 to 100mhz at a time. Been doing OC’ing for quite a bit so, nothing new.
“Exotic” watercooling aside, I’m running a steady 47 degrees Celsius across all cores on my 5900x at 4.67ghz with zero issues. Absolutely love the LED readout as it tells me what’s going on during POST and after. Once bios is finished, I have it set to display Cpu temp – why not?
As I mentioned, get a solid PSU for this as it will need the power and a sub-standard PSU will fry before the motherboard does. As many times as it’s crashed (killed 3 power supplies in my OC venture…) the board came back to life, and saved thousands of dollars of components. After all, nobody wants to replace parts purchased let alone swap motherboards due to power issues. This thing can handle everything I throw at it, and if it isn’t happy it won’t post, it’ll try 3x over then revert back to last known bootable settings. That being said, it’s made to handle a beating!! Did I mention it has a “safe” switch on it? Yeah, should u run into a “unrecoverable” boot issue, flip the switch, bam, good to go again.
I would recommend digging out a flash drive and saving bios settings to it, just in case. Lord knows I have probably 20 settings saved, all with “names” detailing what was changed each time. Stuff like “fclk increased X MHz”, “voltage increase X amount”, “works fine, 4002 bios, no raid no docp”, that sort of thing. It’ll be a life saver, better than drive backups in my opinion.

One thing I have noticed is my board/hardware config has irregularities with the usb-c voltage. That is, I plug in my iPhone to it and windows says there’s not enough voltage or something. Meh, whatever – ignore. BUT I did notice my phone does not charge correctly even though it says it’s drawing a steady 15w (jail broken phone), plus it does that thing “trust this device?” Constantly, even if I hit trust, it’ll keep saying that over n over again. I have a few usb-c to usb3 thumb drives (c on one side, 3.0 on the other) and they work, but Windows tosses the same error, still works fine though. Just the same, be advised
Although that could be my fault as I have a 6700xt, 6600xt, and a quadro 4000 rtx on a 1000w Seasonic PSU – with 5 monitors, one being a Samsung G9 on the 6700xt, the only monitor on that graphics card.
Maybe it’s cause I’m drawing a lot of power from the PSU as all my fans are at 100% constantly, thermaltake 2500rpm hydraulic super turbo expensive fans (who needs rgb anyways?). Could also be my black light RGB strips I retrofitted to molex…. So between 10 of those thermaltake fans, a splitter (sata powered) for my other *cough* 10 fans I squeezed into the chassis… maybe that’s an issue? Perhaps the SSD/HDD RAID 10 setup using all 8 SATA3 ports? Yeah, they’re staggered for a reason, SSD for quick access, HDD for long term backup. Even with all that my psu still has empty ports for more stuff, everything has its own deticated supply, no splitters or daisy chaining here.

Long story short, it’s probably the last motherboard you’ll ever purchase for the next 5 years or decade. It can handle the abuse, it’ll save your components (RMA isn’t fun), and it’ll overclock well beyond what’s considered “sane”.
Looked at virtually all the other reviews and I can’t say I have any of they’re issues. Bluetooth works fine, Wifi does not drop out (even though I’m using cat6 on both ports, redundancy of course), it’s all fine.
Only downside? No HDMI/DP out on the motherboard, but on the same note this isn’t the kind of board intended to have an APU lol. I mean, that would be insulting to the board if you did…

All that said, look no further. It’s a powerhouse. It’s perfectly overkill, future ready for whatever you throw at it. Once the next gen tech gets more mainstream and bugs worked out, *maybe* I’d consider another build – but mark my words, will not be replacing this build for quite some time. What are you waiting for? You’ve spent enough time researching – order it!

Now first off i will admit this motherboard is in a different class than the Aorus Ultra it replaced. That being said my experience with other Aorus boards makes me thing that this would still be superior to the tippy top tier offerings in the Aorus line.

It is currently running a 5900x with 2×16 Corsair ddr4 3600 and there have been 0 hiccups. The bios is easy to navigate and configure. The auto performance settings on the motherboard are pretty tame so if want to really push whatever cpu you have you have to do it manually. Personally i had the best results turning the PBO all the way up and tuning each core with the curve optimizer which honestly took forever.

RGB works well and while the armory crate software isn’t great it’s better than any other motherboard specific software i’ve used

Only thing i was disappointed by was 2.5Gb lan instead of 5 or 10 but that is purely a “id like this” opposed to an actual issue of any sort.

Lastly and the reason this board was 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point. This isn’t worth $400 imo which is why i got the Aorus in the first place. The Asus is better but it’s not $150 better. I spent the $ on the Asus because i needed my system back up and running asap and this was my best, fastest option. Obviously AM5 boards are out now so prices for all the AM4 boards will vary wildy but yea, don’t overpay for this.

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.

Excellent board…This is worth the price. 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!

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.

I’ve always purchased Asus motherboards and have never been disappointed with their products. Works great with excellent features

El servicio de Amazon como siempre, excepcional. El producto cuando lo revisé, traía un pequeño daño estético, y por parte de Amazon volvieron a enviar uno nuevo el cual llegó al día siguiente.En cuanto a la funcionalidad, es un producto de muy alta calidad y gran funcionalidad. La actualización fue muy sencilla aunque tardó unos minutos en terminar (Actualizada por pendrive). Las opciones para configuración de la tarjeta son bastante amplias, las cuales tomará (en mi caso) un tiempo estar investigando cada una de ellas. para recocer la velocidad de las memorias RAM , fue necesario modificar el perfil desde la Bios, ya que venía en stock y solo reconocía 2333mhz, al activar el perfil , ya fueron reconocidos los 3600mhz del modelo que instalé.Para la instalación del SDD M.2 tuve que hacerlo en el slot m.2_2 ya que el disipador del SSD excedía las dimensiones de ancho del slot principal (m.2_1) y estaba muy justo con el puerto PCIEX_16_1.La cantidad conexiones para ventiladores es amplia, ya que te permite configuraciones para todas las necesidades y gustos.Para la instalación del procesador (Ryzen 3900x), tiene buen espacio para el disipador stock, en cuanto a distancia con las memorias RAM. Después al recibir el bracket AM4 para mi AIO, la instalación fue aún más sencilla, utilizando el backplate que tiene el socket del CPU.En cuanto al Software en CD que viene con la tarjeta madre, instalé todo excepto uno de los programas que no lo permitió por que era una versión obsoleta, esto con la intención de instalar los drivers más actuales, posterior a ello pueden desinstalar los programas que no requieran.En cuanto a audio, tuve que buscar la manera de instalar el Realtek Audio Manager para tener control de los Jacks posteriores y frontales, ahora funciona de maravilla y tengo control de todas y cada una de las funcionalidades que permite esta tarjeta madre.

Great board so far with lots of USB 3.x ports. I will say I originally wanted the WiFi version but it was out of stock everywhere, and I can’t actually use WiFi 6 right now nor am I currently using a WiFi connection at all though that may change again. So I wanted it more for “just in case” than anything. The only other difference between this board and the WiFi model is no bluetooth which I wouldn’t use on a gaming PC either.So, with that said let’s move on. The board is solidly built and the BIOS software seems decently laid out but I’m coming from an older Intel board from Asus so I was pretty familiar with how Asus does their BIOS layout anyway. The lighting features are nice, I was worried about the “Hero” logo being too much but it’s actually pretty muted (and I think can be turned off individually in the Aura software). Since I’ll be going watercooling I was intrigued by the high current pump header but I’ve realized nobody seems to actually make a 3-4 pin pump connector that can go on a mobo header, they’re all Molex or Molex with a 4pin mobo connector for a PWM feed. So I have to wonder if Asus knows something is coming.One of the big reasons I went with this board over the Gigabyte Master is USB support. They both support the same overall amount of ports, however the Asus board ALL of the USB ports are USB 3.x where Gigabyte 4 of the rear USB are 2.0 still. My case supports 4x USB 3 ports and a type C port so Gigabyte would have won there due to having two USB 3 front panel headers where the Asus only has 1, however Asus has basically put those on the I/O panel. The Hero has 11 ports plus the rear Type C. The Gigabyte board is 9 plus the Type C but 4 are 2.0. I was initially hesitant since I really wanted to enable all 4 front panel ports, but having things in the rear I/O is just cleaner anyway. Perhaps in the future they’ll get rid of USB 2 headers entirely and replace with 3.0The top M.2 slot is a bit finicky to get to since part of the mounting is under the chipset fan shroud, but that’s the one you want to use first as it’s directly linked to the CPU. The other slot goes through the X570 chipset first, and disables some SATA ports in the process. It would be nice if there were 3 like the other boards, but there are limited resources and it’s always a tradeoff. I suspect that ditching USB 2.0 on the rear panel and having a bunch of 5Gbit/s USB superspeed ports didn’t allow for a 3rd M.2 slot.Other thoughts:My first board with built in I/O shield. This is very nice, and you can’t forget it during install nowM.2 built in heatspreaders with thermal pads is a plus. Some PCI 4 drives come with heatsinks but they’re big copper blocks and won’t blend in if that matters to you. These would eliminate the need to use them.Asus still needs to refine the BIOS but it’s early days still. They’re one of the ONLY board manufacturers without the ability to set fan profiles for the chipset fan. It does run pretty quiet. I can’t hear it over the stock cpu cooler I’m using for now. However once I go water cooling it’s possible it might be noticed.VRM is more than enough for up through the 3950X at least. Buildzoid didn’t have a lot of criticism for it vs Asus Z390 boards.
