This thing is a boss!. So much room for overclocking, and literally everything you could ask for in a motherboard. I do not like the shared lanes for m.2 and GPU however I would never run that many m.2 drives anyways lol. You only need 2 really large M.2 drives to have enough storage for just about anything you could want. I have this paired with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D (beast mode), an PNY RTX 5080 and TridentZ Royal 6000, sitting inside of the HYTE Y70 case, and more RGB than a European rave.

I wouldn’t really say any flaws you know what you’re buying. I had no issues with the install and it’s been running great for the past month.

Expensive but very well built. Heaviest motherboard I have ever had. Working great after 30 days of use.

Top tier motherboard with a top tier price if you have the extra cash I say go for it looks amazing and can handle my ryzen 9 9950x3d with a 4080 super and 64 gb ram like a charm and still a lot more room to over clock the rigs on the motherboard looks stunning aswell and the bios flashback and clear cmos buttons on the io panel is always great to see on any motherboard as well as the error code screen with the start button next to it everything about the board is made to tailor both gamers and pc builders making the quick release on the m.e drivers a breeze to install storage and the no latch to remove the gpu makes it even faster is a repair is needed on the pc and the gpu needs to be removed I would definitely recommend to anyone that can afford it

Is it worth the extra $200 over the E-Gaming? Probably not. I personally just couldn't resist as imo this MB looks amazing! Performance is 100% there too. Overclocking is super easy, and the layout is good as well. My nickname just so happens to Rog as well so that's a definite plus!

This motherboard is an exceptional top-of-the-line device. It surpasses all expectations and is highly recommended for enthusiasts seeking the finest performance.

The ASUS quick release on my expensive x870e mobo broke while attempting to remove my 5080 Gigabyte AORUS Master video card. Attempting to remove the GPU feels like you are going to break something on your mobo and or gpu. It is nerve wreaking and very hard to do even when doing it correctly. You are suppose to pull at an angle while holding the PC case down. It feels EXACTLY like you are going to break something and in my case the quick release latch broke! This is a poorly design function and why did ASUS think this was a good idea! I am extremely angry! In order to have the mobo serviced under warranty I'll have to remove the GPU (again) and disassemble the entire PC just to have the mobo serviced.

Fantastic successor to older X670 boards with killer design, features and reliability for 7000 and 9000 series CPU’s.

The PCIE Card part of your GPU will get damaged (the card part that inserts into the PCIE slot). The Q slim mechanism has damaged 3 GPUs of mine after slotting the GPUs in 1-2 times. Asus has ignored any request of mine to replace my motherboard with the new revision. That's right, so many GPUs have been damaged that ASUS has officially announced that they are revising the Q slim design. An ASUS design flaw has made an otherwise perfect motherboard a disaster and now I fear to remove my GPU for fear that more damage will be caused.

Motheraboard is hefty with the metal backplates but also helps dissipates heat. I paired board with 9800X3D and once post tested I updated BIOS. The board had the very first BIOS of 303. The board is an overkill for me, but with AM5 having support until 2027 decided to spend the extra money on a better board. Had a scare with q-codes since the numbers fluctuated between 29-32, which did not make sense when looking up the codes. After some research q-code was showing the CPU temps that I fix to show q-code only in BIOS. My only complaint is the PCIE 8 power below the 24 pin power has a bright red light that stays on when PCIE is not used. The purpose of the PCIE 8 power is for faster charging through nearby C port. Bad design to have a bright red stay on for an optional plug.

Exactly what you would expect if you're a longterm ROG fan. Running a 9800x3d with 64GB Corsair ram downclocked to 6k for ratio reasons. Plenty of ports, features, and built-in heat dissipation within expectation.

Its good for everything except very very specific high performance tweaking and settings manually, other then that if your a beginner or just want a mostly easy automated system it works.

Good looking motherboard. Nice features. Great for overclocking. Expensive.

ROG Crosshair X870E Hero continues the “Hero” tradition: it’s a no-compromise AM5 flagship that marries stout power delivery with every modern convenience AMD’s brand-new X870E platform can muster. At roughly US $699, it isn’t cheap, but if you’re outfitting a Ryzen 9 9950X3D (or any other Zen 5/Zen 4 chip) and want a motherboard that just gets out of the way, this is a formidable option.

Beautiful design. Really makes the aesthetics of the inside of your PC look very appealing especially if you have a clear glass cover. Works great as far as overclocking . However, I did not notice an extreme jump from your mid range $150-$250 X870 motherboards. If you want the aesthetics and a upgraded audio quality. Sure go for this and spend four more hundred dollars. Is it worth it performance wise? Not in my opinion.

This mobo is as good as I expected. It has 5 NVMe slots. Connecting everything was straightforward. And it keeps my NVMes in a good temperature range during heavy use.

Very good mother board, her performance is exceptional.

Upgraded from a b650e-f and the diference is amazing. Super fast and very easy to setup and adjust / tune bios. If you are thinking about it just buy it

Excellent motherboard fits very need and extremely happy with results
