Description

The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570 motherboard is aimed at users looking for a high-quality and reliable motherboard to build a powerful gaming or professional system. It is suitable for overclocking and supports AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors and DDR4 memory with high data transfer rate. In addition, it provides several connectivity features such as USB 3.2 Gen 2, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.

The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570 is aimed at users who demand the best performance and reliability from their system and are ready to invest in a quality motherboard.

Performance

ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero boasts an optimized power design layout and all the cooling headers you need to handle the prodigious power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors.

    Teamed Power Architecture

    Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

      High Quality Components

      • Dual 8-pin ProCool II power connector, Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
      • 14+2 power stage, The VRM has 14+2 power stages, each rated to handle 90 amps.
      • MicroFine alloy chokes, Each Power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
      • 10K Japanese-made black metallic capacitors, Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.

      ASUS Optimem III

      Infused with proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, Optimem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies, reduced voltages, and operate at higher frequencies. Stack the Dark Hero with your favorite modules and maximize Zen 3 processors throughput for applications that demand massive bandwidth, or balance infinity fabric and memory performance for a diverse range of workloads.

      Cooling

      Maintaining system stability is paramount under high load, so Crosshair VIII Dark Hero employs passive chipset cooling with large VRM and chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area and mass. Featuring premium components and multiple fan headers, Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is fully armed to provide the best foundation for gaming systems.

        • VRM heatsink, The two VRM heatsinks are placed above the MOSFETs and chokes, and are connected by a heat-pipe to further increase surface area for heat dissipation.
        • M.2 heatsink, Two dedicated heatsinks keep the dual M.2 SSDs at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.
        • High-conductivity thermal pad, A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.
        • Passive chipset heatsink, A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.

        ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero features the most comprehensive cooling options ever.

        • Multiple temperature sources

          Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. All settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.

        • 4-pin PWM/DC fan

          Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

        • AIO PUMP

          A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.

        Water Cooling

        Dual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header feed information straight into the AI Suite utility, allowing you to track coolant temperatures and the flow rate of the entire loop.

        • Water pump+

          A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.

        • Water in/out

          A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.

        • Water flow

          A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.

        Optimization

        ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is packed with intuitive and flexible tools to allow customization across all system parameters to deliver the performance you want.

          AI Suite 3

          The dashboard-style control panel of AI Suite 3 lets you fine-tune almost every aspect of your ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero system with ease. Get the best balance between performance, cooling, stability, and efficiency via one simple and intuitive interface.

                  Δοκίμασα αυτή τη μητρική πλακέτα με πολλούς επεξεργαστές (Ryzen 9 5950x - Ryzen 9 5900x - Ryzen 7 5800x - Ryzen 5 5600x - Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 3600x). Η μητρική έχει πολύ καλή σταθερότητα και απόδοση overclocking. Ωστόσο, αντιμετώπισα το ζήτημα του coilwhine όταν έκανα overclocking την Ryzen 9 5900x. Αυτό δεν ήταν πρόβλημα για μένα γιατί ο ήχος μόλις ακουγόταν. Αγόρασα αυτή τη μητρική πριν από 2 χρόνια για 565 ευρώ. Ωστόσο, η τρέχουσα τιμή του είναι εξαιρετική (310 ευρώ).

                  Απίθανη μητρική....Δεν έχω λόγια πραγματικά. Είναι ό,τι θέλεις και πολλά παραπάνω. Είχα πολλά προβλήματα με την προηγούμενη μητρική (Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro) και αποφάσισα να την αλλάξω μετά από δύο χρόνια σχεδόν με πολλές μπλε οθόνες και απαράδεκτα software+firmware από την εταιρεία.
                  Με την Asus δεν είχα κανένα πρόβλημα, η Dark Hero είναι βράχος, απίστευτα σταθερή και αξιόπιστη από την πρώτη στιγμή και ό,τι έβαλα πάνω αναγνωρίστηκε και έπαιξε απροβλημάτιστα. Ακριβή μητρική και είναι σίγουρα overkill αν δεν κάνεις overclocking, αλλά χαλάλι αφού μετά από τόσο καιρό ησύχασα.
