ROG Crosshair VIII Hero

Support of AMD Ryzen processors of the 3rd generation, network adapter 2.5G Ethernet from Realtek, the bus PCIe 4.0, magnificent design with metal elements and a set to all of the known functions of the ROG series – this motherboard which is carrying on nice traditions of the Crosshair series intended for enthusiasts will be the ideal base for assembly of the high-performance game computer with the Ryzen processor.

HIGH-SPEED PLATFORM

ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Motherboard is allocated with the optimized power system and a set of connectors for connection of fans – ideal conditions for operation of the latest AMD Ryzen processor.

FOR the MOST POWERFUL PROCESSORS

Powerful processors with a large number of kernels need the power system which instantly reacts to considerable fluctuations in loading. Thanks to 16 dual power modules the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard will manage to cope with any processor and under any conditions.

At design of normal motherboards the engineers, as a rule, are focused by

on the choice of element base with the necessary characteristics, forgetting about optimization of distributing for the purpose of improvement of a surge characteristic. ROG Crosshair VIII Hero corrects this oversight, using the combined power PowIRstage modules to double a short-term maximum current for each phase and quicker to react to changes in loading level.

DDR4 SLOTS With OPTIMEM III TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to the optimized distributing of slots of DDR4 (OptiMem III technology) the motherboard supports by

operation of memory modules at a high frequency, at the lowered tension and with the reduced latency.

ACCELERATION of the COMPUTER

Practically all functions of the motherboard are available

via the AI Suite 3 control panel. With its help it is possible to configure easily different settings of the computer to achieve ideal balance between speed, energy consumption, efficiency of cooling and noise level.

FRIENDLY UEFI BIOS INTERFACE

ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Motherboard is allocated with

convenient in use and the functional UEFI BIOS interface with which setup of each just assembled computer begins.

DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT

High-precision monitoring On the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero board is used by

differential circuit of monitoring of supply voltage of the processor which provides more authentic indications, than sensors used on normal motherboards. It will be especially useful at acceleration when the finest tuning of tension is important.

HIGH-SPEED INTERFACES

ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Motherboard is allocated with high-speed interfaces which are necessary for a comfortable game. Here two ports Ethernet (including one standard 2.5G) and slots of M.2 with AMD StoreMI technology enter. Besides, on a payment there is a high-quality SupremeFX audiocodec.

SupremeFX Audio system

Built-in SupremeFX audio system can brag of incredibly high quality of a linear input for sound recording (a ratio a signal noise – 113 dB). In addition to the modern SupremeFX S1220 codec the digital-to-analog converter ESS ES9023P for frontal audio outputs and the operational amplifier Texas Instruments RC4580 differing in the low level of distortions is its part.

UNPRECEDENTED SPEED

Thanks to existence of two connectors M.2 designed for devices of format 22110 and working in the PCIe 4.0 mode, the user can not only connect modern solid-state drives at a high speed, but also integrate them in the RAID.

AMD STOREMI TECHNOLOGY

allows to create the AMD StoreMI Application all computer more sympathetic due to decrease in load time of the operating system and applications. With its help you can get at the same time both high-speed advantages of the solid-state drive, and high capacity of the traditional hard drive thanks to the fact that the most often used data automatically are transferred to faster drive.

Exclusive bidirectional Node interface allows motherboards of ASUS to exchange

data with other system components that opens additional opportunities before the enthusiasts who are independently assembling the computers. ​

SCOPE FOR PERSONALISATION

by

with useful utilities which provide complete control over hardware resources of the computer. Illumination, the audio system, drives, network – each component will work exactly as you want!

TRAFIK-MENEDZHER GAMEFIRST

GameFirst V is an exclusive application for local area network management on the basis of the ROG series router. With its help it is possible to manage easily traffic, to select the best wireless link for Wi-fi network, to integrate different network controllers and to trace an Internet connection status – and all this from the convenient interface allowing to make on the fly necessary changes in settings.

SONIC STUDIO III

Newest software version of Sonic Studio is able to reproduce a virtual spatial sound when using a VR helmet, and the profiles which are available in it an equalizer and preset with settings give the chance to flexibly change sounding parameters to the taste.

IMMENSE GAME WORLD

ROG Brand covers computer devices of various categories, from video cards and monitors to mice and keyboards which present one of the most extensive grocery ecosystems at the market. They have the design and faultless compatibility supplementing each other, providing a wide choice at expansion of a configuration of your computer.

ARMOURY CRATE

Armoury Crate Application represents uniform control center of game devices of the ROG series. The different settings connected with illumination (it is possible to set visual effects and to synchronize them between different devices by means of Aura Sync technology), by hardware parameters (for example, for personalisation of the keyboard and a mouse), acceleration and cooling are presented in its intuitive interface. Besides, in it there are special sections for viewing news from game community ROG and registration of the bought devices.

RAMCache

This motherboard supports RAMCache technology by means of which it is possible to allocate a part of system memory for use as a superfast cache for the hard drive or the NVMe-drive. It will help to accelerate load time of often applied applications considerably.

Chipset of AMD X570 supports by

16 PCIe 4.0/3.0 lines, Gen2 USB 3.2 ports (10 Gbps) and SATA of 6 Gbps for connection of peripheral devices and also provides ample opportunities on acceleration of AMD processors for the AM4 connector. Besides, it is optimized under use of the multiprocessor graphic configurations collected on NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFireX technologies. ​

AM4 Connector for AMD processors

This motherboard is compatible

AMD Ryzen processors (3rd and 2nd generations) and Ryzen with a graphic kernel of Radeon Vega (2nd and 1st generations) which are installed in the AM4 connector. Containing up to 16 kernels made on technology of 7 nanometers, models of the Ryzen series of the 3rd generation embody innovative microarchitecture of Zen. AMD processors for the AM4 connector support Gen2 USB interface 3.2 (10 Gbps), 16 PCI Express 4.0/3.0 lines and two-channel random access memory of DDR4.
