Great motherboard with awesome power delievery for overclocking. Has 12v RGB headers and 5v ARGB headers which is awesome. Has a digital code readout for easy diagnostic. Also has power and reset buttons built onto the board for open air setups. If you are looking to upgrade this is an excellent option.

Amazing motherboard, gets the job done. I haven't overclocked with it yet but I'm sure It'll have no problem doing so, it is more on the expensive side but at least I know I bought something that will last!

Great board if you are looking at the X570 platform. Have always had great experiences with ASUS boards, and this one was no exception. Runs flawlessly with my 3900x and even though there isn't a lot of overclocking headroom on these CPUs the capability is as you would expect on an enthusiast's board like the Crosshair. No installation hiccups at all except for AURA, and well at the end of the day, that is just for fun.
Dont forget the PCI 4.0 SSD, so worth it, and if you are paying for an X570 you gotta have it! I got the Corsair and it works as advertised.
I would have probably gone for the wi-fi version if BB stocked it, but love the easy support I get from BB if there ever is a problem, so I went with this version of the Crosshair. And who wants to support Amazon anyway? :-)
Worst thing about this board is the ASUS Aura software, which is buggy at best, but finally got everything to work. Plan out your RGB accordingly if that is important to you - remember you only have 2 - 5v rgb headers, get a hub if you are doing a lot of lighting. And life is easier if you get compatible Aura products.
In short, If you are going Ryzen 3 and want an X570 board with all the bells and whistles this is a great board to consider.

Wanted to get the Dark Hero but knew it would be a while before it was back in stock anywhere (since it was so popular). Had a little bit of a rough start but then got a couple of bios updates and straightened out the ram slots (forgot to use slots A2 B2 first!). With these two issues out of the way my 5800x and Trident Neo 3600mhz are working great!
The only thing missing from the Dark Hero is the dynamic overclocking but honestly with PBO tweaks I am happy with CPU performance!
The only negative is ASUS software, but overall very happy. Also Corsair cooler doesn't play with ASUS Aura and iCUE conflicts with Armoury Crate.
I was between a B550 or X570, the PCI-e4.0 NVRAM pushed me this way and glad I did since I have a PCIe4 NVME drive.

I bought this motherboard to go along with my Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB of DDR4-3600 RAM, and a Samsung 980 PRO Gen4 m.2 ssd.
This thing is an absolute dream. Between the flashback feature, diagnostic display, and great power delivery - this thing was a breeze to setup.
No fiddling with DDR4 timings, just select your DOCP Overclock and go!
Also much of the features are "Set up and forget" in that they don't require additional software to be used. These are things like fan curves, overclocking, PBO boosts, and automatically switching between PBO and a static overclock based on power load.
Since I use Linux, this was crucial. Most configuration software tends to be Windows only.

I am happy about my purchase as I upgraded from Asus TuF gaming plus to this motherboard. I paired it with a Ryzen 9 5900x, 3090 FE, G.Skill 64gb at 15 CAS 3600mhz, EVGA 850 and a Corsair h110 AIO 240. This is a beast with all the features that support my overclocking needs and more. Great product and would recommend.
A:Hi,
This particular model does not have Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi version of this motherboard is a bit more expensive and isn't available on Best Buy that I have seen.
I stuck to this particular board because I didn't really need the Wi-Fi connectivity considering I run my computer wired straight to the router. Great motherboard! I would highly recommend if Wi-Fi is not necessary.
A:Many computer components are out of stock right now I don't know when this specific one will be available however I do know many system components are expected to return to stock between now and mid June. As Production in China begins to return to normal.
A:Yes. Easy to overclock multi core to 4.0/4.1 and even up to 4.3 with a single core clock of 4.7/4.8. I have a 3700X on this mobo but my other Asus mobo has the 3900X so I'm familiar both the Mobo and CPU.
