Commenting
on the new AM4-socket motherboards Joe Hsieh, ASUS Corporate Vice President and
General Manager of Motherboard Business Unit said: “For years ASUS has had
a consistent and evolving relationship with AMD. This partnership is based on
leveraging each other’s leading technological capabilities to enable an
outstanding user experience on the AMD platform. For this generation we’ve
innovated in the field of customization, adding personalization options like 3D
printing and Aura Sync RGB lighting, so users will never again have to stare
into a drab, unexciting computer case. It’s time for users to fully unleash their
imaginations and the power of AMD Ryzen processors — and the blazing
overclocking performance of a new ASUS ROG Crosshair Series or Prime Series
motherboard is the perfect way to do just that!”

ROG Crosshair VI Hero: Return of the Hero
Crosshair VI
Hero is the latest high-performance gaming motherboard from the ROG stable,
engineered with ASUS-exclusive T-Topology technology to minimize coupling noise
and signal reflection. T-Topology’s innovative equidistant memory channels delivers
the most balanced control for powerful overclocking potential — enabling
Crosshair VI Hero to drive overclocked DDR4 performance up to or even beyond
3200MHz in a four-DIMM configuration. ROG also works with almost every DDR4
memory vendor to ensure the best compatibility.

By pushing
the limits with extreme cooling, Crosshair VI Hero fitted with a Ryzen 7 1800X processor
reached new heights on Cinebench R15, scoring 2454 cb. For CPU frequency
validation, it reaches 5802.93MHz by enabling the eight cores and 16 threads of
the processor.

Crosshair VI
Hero is also loaded with the latest ROG SupremeFX exclusive S1220 codec, delivering
an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection and 120dB
on line-out. Plus Sonic Studio III’s all-new routing feature ports streams to
different outputs, while gamers are able to dominate the battlefield with the
newly upgraded Sonic Radar III overlay. Also, ROG GameFirst IV optimizes
network traffic for faster and lag-free online gaming, while enabling the
bandwidth of up to four networks to be teamed.

Crosshair VI
Hero offers backward compatibility with existing AM3 coolers, enabling users to
upgrade easily. The new motherboard also has an onboard USB 3.1 front-panel
connector and PCI Express® 3.0 32Gbps M.2 for ultra-fast
connectivity and data transfers.

ASUS-exclusive
5-Way Optimization dynamically optimizes essential aspects of Crosshair VI Hero
systems based on real-time use, including the all-new Stress Test Distribution
feature that allows users to adjust the proportion of CPU and DRAM stress for
the best overclocking performance. As well, the latest-generation Fan Xpert 4
allows users to monitor the GPU temperature to ensure cooler usage scenarios
when the graphics card[1] is under
heavy loads, such as during 3D content creation or when gaming.

Crosshair VI
Hero also embraces the growing trend for customization, with its
3D-printing-friendly design. ASUS has always strived to make it easier for
users to customize the cosmetic appearance of their PC components, and now ROG
has become the world’s first motherboard brand to support 3D-printed components
— making it easy for users to print their own parts to customize the Crosshair
VI Hero’s appearance, improve system performance or manage cables. Dedicated
onboard 3D mounts that use the same screws as M.2 and standard motherboard
mounting holes make fitting 3D-printed parts easy, so users can quickly add cable
covers, or even an M.2 fan holder to lower M.2 temperature by up to 30°C —
preventing throttling.

Prime X370-Pro,
B350-Plus and B350M benefit from 5X Protection III’s multiple hardware
safeguards, now enhanced with SafeSlot Core — the ASUS-exclusive PCI Express
slot. With a fortified design that is anchored to the motherboard by a special
hook, SafeSlot Core provides 1.6X-stronger retention and 1.3X-greater shearing
resistance than standard expansion slots. 5X Protection III also includes
LANGuard for safer Ethernet connections, Overvoltage Protection to prevent
damage from voltage spikes, the Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) for smooth
power delivery, DRAM Overcurrent Protection with resettable fuses, a stainless-steel
rear I/O panel to prevent corrosion, and ESD Guards to fend off electrical
spikes and surges.
