QuestionDoes this has Wifi? Thanks
Asked 6 years ago by Colossus.
- Answer 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.

QuestionWould you be able to overclock an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
Asked 6 years ago by Gavin.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI just bought this motherboard a couple of weeks again for my build for the new 5900x. I’ve never had a AMD before. Is the latest version bios already installed or am I going to have to buy another amd cpu in order to update before using my 5900x?

- Answer You do not need an alternate CPU, this board supports USB BIOS Flashback. A guide on how to perform a Flashback is here. https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1038568/ Your BIOS can be downloaded here, please verify that the BIOS supports AGESA 1.1.0.0 or newer. https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-viii-hero-model/helpdesk_download/

QuestionI just recently bought this motherboard probably 1 month ago and I have the AMD Ryzen 5900x cpu for this and I haven't build it I wanna know if the motherboard is Bios updated already for AMD 5000 series or do I still need to update the bios???
Asked 5 years ago by Likmabols.
- Answer Best bet would be to download the updated bios and put on a flash drive. Build your system and if it doesnt have the Ryzen 5xxx updated code. You can use FLASBACK option that is found in the Manual. Follow directions and you will be able to load it.
