I really hope after all the terrible press they've gotten regarding RMAs and QC, that they've made sure this motherboard is excellent. Certainly has some features that makes it seem like their was some thought put into it.
I recently purchased another case, still being shipped, but the Asus Proart PA602. I was going to build a new system in a MATX case, but the lackluster showing for MATX boards from Computex made me bump up to a full tower. In particular I'm waiting for Intel 15th Gen, Z890, and preferably I'd like to try out CAMM2. I'm pretty excited to see the reviews for Z890 and 15th Gen. The power delivery and VRM layout for the new boards looked pretty insane/awesome based of of Computex coverage. Some of the other new features look interesting as well. I'm not sure what brand I'll be going with for a Motherboard yet, though it looks like all are at least offering at least one or more CAMM2 board. I alsmot feel inclined to go with ASUS just because I got an ASUS case lol. Kinda the same reason if I did an engine swap I'd prefer an engine from the same manufacturer as the vehicle, just my OCD. That an maybe my roommate is rubbing off on me.. he talks up ASUS all the time. In the past I've most gotta ASRock or MSi. Maybe I'll mix it up this time and try ASUS.
8:00 the PCIe power is for the USB Power Delivery of the above USB-C front-panel port. Based on if it's connected or not the PD profile can go to low or high wattage. It's not for the GPU.
@@JCustom Thanks for the clarification! From what I’ve read, it seems Wi-Fi 7 and USB 4 are indeed mandatory on the X870 and X870E motherboards. Exciting to see how those features will shape future builds. I’m currently waiting to see the prices before I build my PC.
If you get the Asus ROG X670E Hero, you can use all 4 M.2 slots and keep the GPU at x16. The GPU only changes to x8 if you install sometime in the second GPU slot. All this info can be found in ASUS Product page and could be cheaper than the new X870e Hero.
@@davidamezcua8469 There are two ROG X670E HERO Motherboards, one has Wi-Fi the other has not, so does it make any difference which motherboard I use? A Answer would be welcome to this thanks in advance.

Just wait till you have to RMA the motherboard. And I'm not just saying that to jump on the bandwagon because I had to RMA an $800 motherboard with Asus. I sent them a motherboard in perfect condition I was getting a code 00 error for cpu. They sent me a total of four motherboards and it took three months to finally get a working one that wasn't completely damaged the first two they sent me were broken the third one was scratched and the 4th one was acceptable and working. I was one of the people that sent in my information to gamers Nexus with photos of all my chats. So good luck recommending this trash to anybody. I personally went out and replaced two of my motherboards with different brands because I owned multiple systems. And I have been happy ever since ditching Asus.
I've been buying Asus boards and other items since 2004. If you look thru my channel, you will notice I buy a lot of hardware from every aib. I also use to run HP enterprise break/fix for North East as part of my day job many years ago. There are many elements to warranty repairs that GN did not cover as those are processes within a company itself. While I personally, have not had any bad experiences with ASUS (I have rmaed a lot over 20 years but I also do not purchase like your average customer. For example, I will buy up to 40 gpus on a launch from assorted variants across aibs) many of the complaints people have brought up I have experienced from one aib or another, so I am well aware that issues are going to happen. Every company is going to try to reduce the cost of the warranty program which is why they use contracted repair centers who then may subcontract out even further. This causes a lot of the issues we see with RMA denials, excessive repair costs etc. Contractors will always try to gain the game, and nothing gains the game more in their mind then out of scope repairs (ie customer damage). This is why taking photos, not dissembling items that you do not need to for warranty repair is a good precaution, a contracted repair is not going to take in context of anything other than is there damage and is this covered, if not how can i charge the most to repair it. No warranty process is going to be perfect and ASUS does have a lot of places where they can use improvement, but it's going to be a very similar situation just about everywhere. At the same time we have to keep in mind in the DIY space when it comes to motherboards over a price point such as 400, asus is 80% of the market share. While that's great for business, it's also what would cause them to take the worst PR hits and have the most cases of poor warranty service.
I’ve been assembling personal rigs with ASUS motherboards for 30 years and never had issues. Their recent quality issues really bothers me. What alternative should I look at? gigabyte is what I’m leaning towards
He did, however what he did is fail to explain how the new mechanism works. Here is how it works: if you try to pull the video card from the middle or the right, it won't come out, you have to pull/apply pull force more from the left, that's when it will release. Capisce?
X670E Hero was $649.99 MSRP. This will probably have an MSRP of $799. It's got a backplate. Also BTW this is not the first AMD Asus mobo to have a backplate. My X570 Formula and X670E Extreme both have them.

I have the X670E version of this board, love it! Great video btw!
This is a gorgeous board tbf
No, YOU're gorgeous!
could you review the x870e godlike?

We’ve had similar things like that for the usb c front panel but on this board from my understanding it’s for the gpu. I will ask for clarification
@@JCustom it’s for the 60w charging ability for the front panel type c port just like the x670e
this was cool asf
Only thing I wish this had was thermal sensors to place at other points
Hi! Can we replace m.2_1 heatsink with third party product?
Yes
When will the embargo be lifted?
sept 30th
Looks sleek
For $699 the AOI cover should be a LCD screen....the 1k one will be ...
What this I hear bout if you put a m.2 in slot 1 it makes the graphics card from 16x performance to 8
Afaik, if u put m.2 in slot 2 or 3 or both..
The Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero has 2 USB 4.0 ports.
and an pcie 1x port that is possible to use and not cut lanes
yes, to clarify what I meant to say was not all prior am5 asus boards had usb 4 while all x870 ones will

@8:10 slim-sas 4i,. Usb-c refers to a connector type, not the actual port
is it extended ? My x670e Gigabyte Aorus master have back plate and it's extended
No standard atx size
😎👍
Does that fit a mini itx case?????
No this board is ATX size so you can’t
@@chasethecarguy thanks
why does it only have 2 audio jack why does it not have 5.1 audio jacks for speakers ?
How tall is the VRM of this motherboard?
35mm from the pcb
@@JCustomthanks, helps me a lot with the build I am planning.
That isn't additional power for gpu its for 60wat type c charging
Yes you are correct I got it confused with another board
What I want to know is how many M.2 Nvme SSD can it take without dropping down the GPU from 16 to 8 and can you also use just Gen4 in all these slots?
Unfortunately, I would only be able to speculate as the manual is not available at the moment.

You didn't even click the GPU in all the way before pulling it out.
it was fully depressed. I sat it in a few times off camera. it does not click like you would expect.

I feel like this is going to cost around $600+.
oh 100%, i'd bet it's more than 600... probably in the mid-800s
I would guess 649 to 699. I have not see the hero line cross the 699 threshold yet.
