ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO (WiFi 6E) Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) Ryzen 7000 gaming motherboard

DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER

Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher lets you use them both, dynamically engaging PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature.

CORE FLEX

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize the base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE

Today’s CPU architectures place incredible demands on the motherboard power design by transitioning from deep powersaving modes, going from lower power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

MEMORY

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry level set that would otherwise be locked.

PCIE 5.0

Fully embracing the new standard, the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero offers abundant Gen 5 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

COOLER BY DESIGN

1. VRM heatsinks and heatpipe

2. M.2 heatsinks

3. High-conductivity thermal pads

4. M.2 backplate

5. Chipset heatsink

TWO USB4 TYPE-C PORTS

Each USB4 port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. External display support reaches up to 8K output if one of the ports is in use, or both can be employed for dual 4K displays.

SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX audio technology delivers an exceptional 113 dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection to provide exceptional recording quality. There’s also a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX ALC4082 codec, and an integrated ESS ES9218 quad DAC capable of reaching -115dB THD+N for superior front-panel output. The combined solution allows for end-to-end 32-bit 384 kHz resolution playback that conveys all the subtlety and nuances of each audio track.
