ROG Crosshair X870E HERO

Meet the AI PC-Ready ROG Crosshair X870E ATX Motherboard, built for gamers seeking unmatched power and performance, engineered to deliver breath-taking power management, efficiency, and thermal management. The X870E Hero is ready to support the latest range of AMD AM5 processors with full compatibility for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. Together with an amazing new improved lighting module integrated into the I/O, this motherboard features a sleek design with dark tones, premium metallic textures, and a startling stereoscopic effect on the M.2 and chipset heatsink. But it’s so much more than its aesthetic; the X870E Hero boasts WiFi 7 support, impressive AI networking technologies, and the latest in USB 4.0 connectivity, and it’s packed with features to make building and maintenance even simpler.

AI Networking II

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

AI Overclocking

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.

AI Cooling II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

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.

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.

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.

PBO Enhancement

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

VRM and Aluminium Heatsink

A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminium I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.

High Conductivity Thermal Pads

By providing a bridge between the heat produced by the power stages and the heatsink, each thermal pad enhances the system's overall heat transfer.

Chipset Heatsink

A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from both chipsets to maintain optimum operating temperature.

Cooler Compatibility

ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new X870E / X870 motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.

PCIe 5.0 Support

Fully embracing the new standard, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero offers abundant Gen 5 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

WIFI 7

The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT.

2.5G Ethernet

Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

5Gb Ethernet

Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Realtek 5 Gbps Ethernet.

TWO USB4® TYPE-C® PORTS

Each USB4® port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. External display support reaches up to 8K output if one of the ports is in use, or both can be employed for dual 4K displays.

SupremeFX

ROG SupremeFX audio technology delivers an exceptional 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio to the line-in jack for pristine recording quality. There’s also a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX ALC4082 codec and an integrated ESS® ES9219 Quad DAC capable of reaching -114dB THD+N for superior front-panel output. This combined solution allows for end-to-end 32-bit 384 kHz resolution playback that conveys all the subtlety and nuances of each audio track.

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. This creates an immersive audio experience, giving the sensation of sound coming from above, below, and around the listener.

PCIe Slot Q-Release

Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

M.2 Q-Release

The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.

BIOS Flashback and Clear CMOS

The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.

BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

BIOS Q-Dashboard
