Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever. ASUS AI Overclocking analyzes the CPU and cooling system to predict optimal settings and push the system to its limits. The predicted values can be applied automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation.
The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features five integrated M.2 slots, three of which support PCIe 5.0 interface, delivering blazing speeds of 16 GB/s, while the others still offer impressive 8 GB/s with PCIe 4.0. The board is also equipped with a SlimSAS connector, supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 mode using a data cable.
Both x16 expansion slots are equipped with the PCIe 5.0 interface, providing incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To withstand the load of massive graphics cards, they are also secured with SafeSlot brackets, and the top slot can be easily released thanks to the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.
AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies for continuous network performance optimization, ensuring reliable and seamless connectivity while unleashing the full speed of WiFi 7.
For those looking to push DDR5 speeds to the max, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero offers AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further enhance performance through an extensive set of UEFI settings.
The VRM heatsinks on the MOSFETs and chokes are connected via an integrated heat pipe to increase heat dissipation when working with high-performance AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors.
