I appreciate how in depth you went in describing everything with this motherboard. Please keep up the good work and thanks for helping me decide on this motherboard and answering my questions without even knowing that you where lol.
I own this and it's pretty amazing. I had multiple issues with my old BF-450 and swapping the mobo fixed all my issues and I have not had any new issues since (2 years)
I recently installed a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB in the the M.2_1 slot and when tightening the Heatsink plate down it cause the SSD to bend inward towards the board. I contacted ASUS and they said it was a known issue and the only fix is to leave the Heatsink cover off
Ah damn, I'm planning to put the 1TB version in. Does it cause any issues? What did you end up doing? Leaving the cover off or sticking it on and letting the ssd bend?
CurryPowder I currently have the plated mounted but only partially tightened to mitigate the bend. I also removed the heat sink tape from the plate. The SSD is running at peak about 65C occasionally. Eventually I’ll open it back up and apply some a small amount of heat sink paste to get the temperatures below 60C which is optimal for SSDs
@@drtyrobot9761 You could also leave the stock heat sink off and pick up a black heat sink from EK, or any other reputable maker. This wouldn't hurt the look THAT much, especially if you vertically mount your GPU.
I ve been watching videos for a few hours looking for the right info, its finally good to come to your channel and find this well detail video. Now i can make my decision.
This is a decent review. What I really need, is a comparison between this mobo and the Gigabyte Master X570. Black Friday is NEXT WEEK, and NOBODY has done mobo comparisons in the $350 range. WHY????? I'd love to also see a bios walk-through of the Gigabyte Master's bios. I already know the Asus bios back and forth, so would love to see how the Gigabyte compares. Thanks.
@@thinkcomputers1 i’m new to this sort of stuff and i’m looking to get a ryzen 7 5800X along with this motherboard. Is the only thing i have to do to make them compatible update the bios to the latest version ?
@@dacejoy02 AMD confirmed that 4000 series will require x500 series chipset boards, and will remain AM4 socket. this is a great motherboard for this and next generation.
when you use the nvme on the top, does your GPU lane still x16 or x8? cause on CH7 it is share the same with gpu it is run native x8 GPU on asus crosshair vii. let me know on this new board?
Zen 3 the last to utilise the AM4 socket, so in theory, they'd be compatible. They're still 7nm (3000 series or 4000 series), and the "+" of the 4000's 7nm+ doesn't lose anything from being on a 7nm board, so there's no reason to believe that it wouldn't work... But if you're going for "cutting edge" tech when the 4000 series is released, you may as well just wait for that tier's iteration of boards to be released (the x670's, which would effectively be a "Crosshair IX Hero", should ASUS keep up thier present naming theme)... Yet those are still months down the road, so... 🤷♂️
Hey! One question: is the X570 chipset active cooled? Does it have a fan? I need a good mobo for 3950x that is not noisier than the case fans on silent.
My cousin told me not to get this board because it's meant for fully custom water cooling but I think He just doesn't want me to spend that much on a motherboard

@@CorySands Same here lol.. but I did enough research to make sure I got compatible parts and kept my budget in mind. The motherboard I got was an MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi and cost me a bit over $200.. but I actually wish I went at least a step up to X570 Carbon Pro or the one in this video..

Hi and thanks for such an informative video. I am confused about the cables used for 3.2 g1 Y spliter they all are described as usb 3 are they same or different if you have a link pls send me one
The WIFi version of the board does yes, it is right on the specs page: rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-viii-hero-wi-fi-model/spec
I just ordered this motherboard, I’m building my first PC which I’m intending on using to make animations/cartoons and of course gaming. I was just wondering if you could give me a part number to the maximum amount of RAM I could jam in this thing.
Michael Nguyen i was going to but it was passed the return window. I had been using Asus for awhile so I got used to it, and Asus softwares was just better and less buggy in my experiences hence why I wanted to return it. Honestly they're both good, and it's a matter of preference. But if you're going all in with RGB, go with Asus. Gigabytes RGB Fusion 2 will cause BSODs and system slowdown. Asus' Fan Expert is is also significantly better than Gigabytes but my fix for that is to use Argus Monitor.
@@mikenguyen2006 I'm about to make a new build with the Hero, and chose it over the Master basically for the extra IO usb connections. Along with it cosmetically fitting in with the build.
If any one watching this rn or Think computers can you suggest a motherboard between this one and the gigabyte x570 aorus master from what ive seen there both good but idk what to choose from for a ryzen 7 3700x lmk asap please
Can you add a video on connecting this motherboard to most of the connectors? As an example, what power supply can go with this mb and how are those connections added to the mb and the cpu....etc. thanks.
It's probably fine by itself. The problem with internal DACs is that they often get fed dirty power due to crosstalk with other components in the PC. Just get an external DAC. It will always be the better solution. Their are some sound cards out there that do a good job of filtering the interference, but they are always expensive due to the extra components on the card, take up pci lanes, and still aren't perfect for filtering that interference. The only nice thing about them is that they don't take up space on your desk, which is a poor trade off for all the problems they create. Trust me, I know. I bought a fucking soundblaster AE-9 and I regret my life choices every day. I am getting an external solution as soon as I can, but I will probably be stuck with it for another two years. It's not bad, but it's sub optimal, especially for the price.

Try flashing the bios. Also check all power connections. GPU....does your parts match the QVL? I know my board does not support the RX 580 or RX 590 so I went with the Asus rog 2080 and everything works well
spicesmoker yup, the two M.2 slots can be for an nVME or SATA drive. And the manual doesn’t say that you’ll lose any SATA ports even if you use both M.2 drives as nVME.

Is there a place to put a Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB and if so where would it be and also if not what would be the next best option, I’m trying to build my first pc, any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey man, if I use 2 m.2 nvme ssd on this mobo does that mean that I will be getting a reduced speed on them? From where I am a 2TB SATA SSD has the same price as a 2TB M.2 NVME SSD so choosing which to buy is no brainer. My only concern is if this mobo can fully support (utilize the full speed) a 2 NVMe SSD setup.
I can't confirm it firsthand, and I don't have this board yet, but in my research on it I have seen that you can use the 2 m.2 slots, fill up every sata port, and get full bandwidth for your first pcie x16 slot for one GPU. The second pcie x16 will drop to half bandwidth if you have a second gpu along with 2 m.2
I’m fairly certain that the first M.2 slot has dedicated lanes to the CPU and the first PCIe slot has dedicated lanes to the chipset. I haven’t found a reliable block diagram of the VIII though.
The lights on mine stopped working (i have the asus rog crosshair vii tho not the vi) after i put a new HDD in my pc, and my pc wont turn on at all after that, ive tried everything from changing the CMOS battery to reconnecting all the cables. If anyone could help it would be awsome:)
You'll need to get your wi-fi signal fed from somewhere. So yes you'll at least need a modem with wi-fi capabilities (poor solution), or you'll still need a wi-fi router for this motherboard to connect to.
@@Remmustein I have my ISP router and cable from it, can't I just run it into the PC and make the mobo impart wi-fi to all other devices subsequently? BTW thanks for the answer

Hello Pls Pls Pls answer this question. I am/was/is building my first gaming system. I started in Jan. Figured I would get would I could on sale prices and it was going as planned till covid. So far I have Ryzen 9 3900X, X570 Hero (wifi), 360 rgb all in one ROG water cooler, and 1200w thor PSU. Now my question was and you hit on it and I have asked and asked and no body knows. Where the CPU goes you said a chip is missing. Now after looking their seems to be two cluster types one is 16 and the other 19. The one you have is the same as mine, but if you look at some others it will be differant. What are they cappsittors ? And are they only differant because thats what the maker had on hand that day and it works ? Or did they have a recall and if so which is the recall..I tried calling Asus but talking to a call rep is like talking to my dog, I dont even think they even knew what a mother board is..But that chip is really not missing because every board is like that even mine..Thank you if you could answer....
Short answer is "most likely" If you break down the math formulas ultimately it will all make sense. Asus likes to design the boards so that all 42 components break down to prime numbers in order to avoid creating a calculating paradox. Feedback loops can be dangerous on x570 chipsets. That's also why they're priced higher than other boards.
I bought the Lian Li O11 dynamic XL case and found out I'd have a compatibility issue with the crosshair hero motherboard cause there isn't enough connectors on that board and the USB type C at the front of the case will be unusable, is there anyway around this?
The annoying thing is only 1 USB 3 header on the board, my case needs 2 headers and also has USB c so unable to use 1 side of the USB's... it's obviously not a major but it would have just been nice if they included it or designed some "hub" to have 1 usb 3 header into 2 headers.

From where I am a 2TB SATA SSD has the same price as a 2TB M.2 NVME SSD so choosing which to buy is no brainer. My only concern is if this mobo can fully support (utilize the full speed) a 2 NVMe SSD setup.
This mobo is one of the best on the market. I think you'll be able to use the full speed of nvme
I can't confirm it firsthand, and I don't have this board yet, but in my research on it I have seen that you can use the 2 m.2 slots, fill up every sata port, and get full bandwidth for your first pcie x16 slot for one GPU. The second pcie x16 will drop to half bandwidth if you have a second gpu along with 2 m.2
I’m fairly certain that the first M.2 slot has dedicated lanes to the CPU and the first PCIe slot has dedicated lanes to the chipset. I haven’t found a reliable block diagram of the VIII though.
Where to put the monitor
How can i configure the RGB mirror on the side?
The lights on mine stopped working (i have the asus rog crosshair vii tho not the vi) after i put a new HDD in my pc, and my pc wont turn on at all after that, ive tried everything from changing the CMOS battery to reconnecting all the cables. If anyone could help it would be awsome:)
Is it 1200 socket
hey this might seem like a stupid question but do you still need a wi-fi router if you get one of these?
You'll need to get your wi-fi signal fed from somewhere. So yes you'll at least need a modem with wi-fi capabilities (poor solution), or you'll still need a wi-fi router for this motherboard to connect to.
@@Remmustein I have my ISP router and cable from it, can't I just run it into the PC and make the mobo impart wi-fi to all other devices subsequently? BTW thanks for the answer

What you’re proposing will work, but you might have some range issues as the antenna on the motherboard will be weaker than the one on a router.
@@Remmustein thanks a lot mate, this really helped me out
Can it take intel or only amd processors ?
AMD AM4 only
ThinkComputers on thx, but what is am4?

Paul Fairchild ah ok
Hello Pls Pls Pls answer this question. I am/was/is building my first gaming system. I started in Jan. Figured I would get would I could on sale prices and it was going as planned till covid. So far I have Ryzen 9 3900X, X570 Hero (wifi), 360 rgb all in one ROG water cooler, and 1200w thor PSU. Now my question was and you hit on it and I have asked and asked and no body knows. Where the CPU goes you said a chip is missing. Now after looking their seems to be two cluster types one is 16 and the other 19. The one you have is the same as mine, but if you look at some others it will be differant. What are they cappsittors ? And are they only differant because thats what the maker had on hand that day and it works ? Or did they have a recall and if so which is the recall..I tried calling Asus but talking to a call rep is like talking to my dog, I dont even think they even knew what a mother board is..But that chip is really not missing because every board is like that even mine..Thank you if you could answer....
Short answer is "most likely" If you break down the math formulas ultimately it will all make sense. Asus likes to design the boards so that all 42 components break down to prime numbers in order to avoid creating a calculating paradox. Feedback loops can be dangerous on x570 chipsets. That's also why they're priced higher than other boards.
Could you please tell me if I can put the internal ssd? I can’t see it on the board
NVMe (SSD) ports both above and below the PCIe (graphics card) slots
Does this motherboard have a front type c header?
yes
Is this motherboard atx? Or is it e atx?
ATX
What happens if u let’s say accidentally press bios reset when gaming for example ?
How would you accidentally do that?
The Red one is1Gig Intel and Black one is 2.5 Gig Realtek
The biggest thing for me is the post code reader.
What size of tower you need for this motherboard
Anything that supports ATX
@@thinkcomputers1 I am fence spending less money get tomahawk or go out crosshair Vlll
I bought the Lian Li O11 dynamic XL case and found out I'd have a compatibility issue with the crosshair hero motherboard cause there isn't enough connectors on that board and the USB type C at the front of the case will be unusable, is there anyway around this?
did you find an answer? i just got my lian li 011 dynamic and i want this mobo now im scared lol
@@logandavis1718 Have you had any issues with the mobo and the case man? I am on the market for both and am scared too lol
@@adihammer7861 no problems at all man!!!
@@adihammer7861 i went with the dark hero though! Shouldnt have problems with the hero though!

DOES IT SUPPORT 64GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM , RYZEN 9 3900X & MSI 1660 6GB GDDR6 GRAPHICS CARD ?
Yes
@@thinkcomputers1 All those things support ?
@@shubhajitchakraborty9362 yes.
Don’t bother getting 64gb of ram if are only gonna get 3200mhz go with 4400mhz if you have that much ram budget(much faster)
I need a case for the motherboard , something black with rgb fans pre installed (preferred green) would you recommend anything to me ?
you could get the corsair obsidian 500d RGB se
You can pair it with an Asus rog Helios case that's almost as expensive as the board itself. They're pretty much made for each other though.
Oh, the Helios has rgb lighting in the tempered glass front panel, but fans are black.
H510 elite
Is there a usb type C for front panel connector?
yes
You said 840amps did you mean watts??
My graphic card (Saphire RX5800 XT Nitro+ SE) cover the chipset fan intake.... Bad design... I need to use lower PCIE Slot for GPU...
Will it work with ryzen 5000
Yes
I'm trying to get one of these
bluetooth 5.1?
The annoying thing is only 1 USB 3 header on the board, my case needs 2 headers and also has USB c so unable to use 1 side of the USB's... it's obviously not a major but it would have just been nice if they included it or designed some "hub" to have 1 usb 3 header into 2 headers.
Gee ask Lian li why they didn’t provide a splitter with their case. Not many motherboards support multiple usb 3.0 headers.
