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.

I like how this board worked out for my build. It is very impressive. Glad this doesn't have Display port or HDMI on the back panel. I have no need for integrated graphics nor their ports. Delete your Drivers and swap video cards out. Why you need IG ? I also don't need wifi but it comes with it. I recommend that you upgrade the bios as soon as you can, Initially it sounded like a Manual Cash Register during the Windows Updates. Loud Bangs, Clicks, and thuds during the Restarts. It added to the Theater of Building. After all the driver updates it's smooth as butter. The Bios is the most user friendly I've ever seen from the Byte people. I'm investigating all the new settings i've never had before. Heavyweight Board and does not feel flimsy. My Boot times were insanely quick due to the dual pcie 5.0 m.2 slots, so quick i disabled the memory fast boot feature just so i feel old school and trying to hide the shame of spending 3k in other parts and components. QUICK Glad i bought much DDR5 before the Great Ram Inflation ! Boo

Having the five M.2 slots with the EZ Clips made installation so much faster now that I went with all NVME SSD's. Glad to see the top slot is Gen 5 to give me the option to upgrade if/when I decide to. Another great addition was the EZ PCIE release with the lock indicator so when I do upgrade to a Gen 5 NVME SSD it will make installation so much easier/faster.

AM5 socket, ease of use, heatsink for gen 5 drive, pcie 5.0 compatible, plenty of RGB and fan/aio headers, sleek black look for black builds. USB-c on back panel, easy to use bios.

- Great value for money - Reliable WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity - Simple to set up - Room to grow

This motherboard is easy to configure compared to earlier generations. The bus speeds appear to the fantastic, supporting the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K purchased along side. The newer 1080 bios interface is a welcome upgrade. I am not using it to it's full potential yet as I really purchased it for future proofing my rig.

excellent quality and performance. very nice looking. asus for the win

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.

perfect fit for case,did everything it should,5 stars!

- came quickly and well packaged from Newegg - good documentation and easy to set up - working very well (performance and temperature) with my 7800x3d - great benchmarks

Great Motherboard so far no problems everything works like charm


Packaging was awesome they include lots of stickers as well. It was really easy to install and set up.

This motherboard is affordable and works very well for the price. The performance is stable, and its easy to get a basic setup running without issues.

Motherboard has a lot of great features with no lane sharing which is great also has the 10gb lan

3 PCIE 4 NMVE slots Strong voltage regulation ROG STRIX brand, their other chipset MB sells for $500 - their engineers put only what is needed to get the lower price point. BIOS flash without having to power on MB before first boot when building.

Everything works great as intended

Price is better than most Can upgrade to Zen 3 4 dimm slots 8 pin power (no sure if that's standard now) Wifi and bluetooth built in (can't speak for the wifi but my bluetooth headphones can reach half way across the house before cutting out)

-As advertised -Steady shipping

It looks pretty
