High single thread performance. As with all Ryzen, multithreaded performance is rock solid. Pair with dual rank RAM, or 4 single rank DIMM's for the best performance.

Was worried the heatsink would inpinge on the graphics card, and it was close! Check your measurements carefully. As a happy accident it is now catching air off the graphics card exhaust hopefully its a net cooling but who knows. The heat spreader that came with the MB was useless so I'm glad I got something with a HS already attached. sequential read only is even close to 14K, IOPS read though is 4.7 GB! really nice! And you can tell the speed when installing software or moving data.

Excellent power delivery PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and Wi-Fi 7 support Future-proof with USB4 EZ-Latch system simplifies installation Robust I/O options and 2.5GbE LAN

MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

I feel good about having the what is supposed to be the best gaming CPU, but I only game on my 4K display, and Im not sure if its an improvement over my 7700x.

Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?

Plenty of room to work with, fan cables already managed, and plenty of spots for cable management, looks good

Gave me a whole lot of extra storage to use, plus its very fast for my games that needs it!


Reaches advertised speeds out of the box. Exceptional 5 year warranty. Good drive capacity, 1TB is great for boot and storage. Fast.

This thing is packed with features, lots of high power consumption consideration (considering it's an OC Monster). Tons of ease and quality of life features like the EZ PCI-E Release, the M.2 quick release hold downs, and white peripherals.

-Best in class -Super efficient -Cool Temps -Easy OC

Fast good value enough video ram. biggest for me is linux compatibility. I've mostly left windows for gaming, well and everything. It works great on linux for gaming and work (some ml). Yes there are gaps, but you can do a decent amount of things.

Loved the Color..in-person is more like sliver white but looks 🔥 IT HAS WIFI 6 WHICH IS IDEAL AS I RUN BOTH WIN10 AND W11...WIFI 7 DOESN'T ALLOW W10, SO JUST FYI.

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

Cheap RGB lighting


The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is phenomenal. I want to start by mentioning the attention to detail and the build qualityit's on another level. The board feels very solid, strong, and heavy. The main reason I decided to go with this board is that it allows me to run two Gen 5 SSDs at full speed without losing GPU performance, keeping the graphics card running at x16. I do lose the use of the 40Gb USB-C ports, but honestly I dont use them anyway. Working on the board was super easy thanks to all the EZ-Latch mechanisms, which made installing components quick and hassle-free.

The options of components that you can put on this motherboard without worrying about taxing it are great. We're testing games that have not yet been optimized so will be putting it through the paces but it's more than capable to build a great system. Having visual post errors helps. The USB4 is great for running a full frame camera for presentations.

I will say that this hard drive is very user friendly, especially considering I have never built a PC in my life, and am slowly going through upgrading the one I bought from Newegg years ago. I was able to find a YouTube video of a hard drive installation from the same company and it translated super easily to this one.
