Hmmm... literally just built a RTX 3090 + Ryzen 9 5950x build with an X570 Dark Hero board. I would have chipped in the extra cash had I known this was available - mostly for the extra M.2 and USB 3.2 slot. Not mad at the Dark Hero though.
and here I am ready to upgrade from my simple yet capable TUF GAMING plus WiFi x570.... I've added all I can to this board and it's maxed out. I'd love the loads of available M.2 and overall awesome side slot design. I can't find this yet, but I'll grab it as soon as I see it for sale here in the US.
Man, built the exact same setup 1 month ago. I too would've chipped in for the extreme variant... Although I'm happy with what I got, I still feel a bit F*cked by ASUS. Mainly the extra M.2.. OH WELL UH
@CerebuZ I mean besides the Halo CPUs of AM5, nothing AMD puts out for the first AM5 generation will be better than a 5900x on a Dark Hero. Just my opinion but you can get to what 5ghz or more stable overclock on a dark hero with a 5900x
This is one of the best boards I've seen with features and power. I have the Zenith Extreme II and I like this one even better. TB4, USB 3.2, 10Gbe and I even like the placement of the LiveScreen. Plus, three M.2 connections on the front of the MB in addition to the DIMM.2. That is a lot of metal!
@@TheDaswilhelm bro ive done every bios update, had x370 prime pro, crosshair vi hero, crosshair vii hero, crosshair VIII hero, crosshair VIII formula and the crosshair VIII hero dark.

That’s a bad ass board. I’ve had the Maximus 6 Formula, Maximus 7 Formula and I’m currently using the Maximum X Code. I just got a Crosshair Dark Hero x570 and it seems light on the accessories end. At least compared to my other boards. Each one was well over $300 but the Crosshair was well over $400. The board is a beast but what I gotta do to get a USB stick rather then a disc I can’t use?

I have Aorus Xtreme X570 rev 1.2 with 5950X.. And with Curve Optimizer alone, all core clocks are at 4.7Ghz. Love the board.. Even when I used to have 3950X on this board with 4.5 ghz, it never crossed 45C vrm temp mark. But this also looks great.
I got rid of my Gigabyte boards, because they can't overclock ram or cpu's worth a crap!!!!! Truly pissed me off how HORRIBLE those boards are with RAM and CPU OCing. Same CPU's and RAM OC'd perfectly well on the ASUS boards. Not even close...

Uhm dude, you can power up the board without a CPU normally as its part of the UEFI feature for flashing the UEFI if your CPU is not supported, Asus has done this for a while now since they also added the flashback USB utility which makes it impossible to brick the Mobo as long as the BIOS/UEFI chip isn't borked.

10G and Thunderbolt support? I'm tempted to buy one of these to replace a possibly slightly wonky Crosshair VIII Hero board I have. It's got a 5950x in it, and I could put a Thunderbolt PCIe card in my NAS that happens to be sitting right next to it. This is really tempting, actually. I could then pop the Asus 10G PCIe adapter I have in there now and migrate that to a different PC.
Im working on a new build at the moment. I have the crosshair viii formula. Would have gone with this one but it doesnt have a waterblock. Now all i need is a 3090 to complete my build.
I got the Asus Rog Crosshair Hero VIII wifi x570 pretty solid board all around no need to pay the extra for features you 'll rarely use it's the exact same board under the hood so
I've returned a second Crosshair Extreme due an annoying whistling sound in the VRM. Its not a typical coil whine, the sound is static. I can hear it even through PC case glass panels. I used 3 different PSUs (seasonics and corsair)and always heard the same sound. Looks like Asus did something wrong in the VRM area. My Crosshair viii hero, Dark Hero and Maximus z390 have no issues. So sad 😞

I would consider picking this up and using my dark hero for something else but theres no where to go with this. AMD is going to a dfferent style socket for the cpu and new ram is coming.
I'm waiting for the X570 Strix Gaming 2, it'll have dynamic OC like the dark hero, hopefully it'll cost less too. Asus have teased these boards ages ago and the release is taking a long time too, might have to buy a x570s gigabyte aorus master
As a motherboard enthusiast, this is the best thing I've ever seen. It just makes me wonder, what kind of overbuilt PSU I should get with it? It's a shame about the Wifi 6e I'd never use (but nice to have I suppose) because it would be a sin to use anything but cat6+. I feel like they should use Windows services for configuration via Powershell for lower overhead instead of GUI stay resident processes but I understand such a niche product doesn't really justify it but I think if they could do it if they just wanted to.
hi guys, i using asrock razer mobo now, i would like to switch to the new mobo, because i dont realy like the asrock one. Any suggestion? this board, dark hero or asus E gaming II? i need m.2 gen 4 slot more than 2 slot. Thanks for any feedback.

I'm waiting for the X570 Strix Gaming 2, it'll have dynamic OC like the dark hero, hopefully it'll cost less too. Asus have teased these boards ages ago and the release is taking a long time too, might have to buy a x570s gigabyte aorus master
Is this this board better than the dark hero motherboard??
As a motherboard enthusiast, this is the best thing I've ever seen. It just makes me wonder, what kind of overbuilt PSU I should get with it? It's a shame about the Wifi 6e I'd never use (but nice to have I suppose) because it would be a sin to use anything but cat6+.
I feel like they should use Windows services for configuration via Powershell for lower overhead instead of GUI stay resident processes but I understand such a niche product doesn't really justify it but I think if they could do it if they just wanted to.
I'm getting the Asus Thor 850w for mine. I don't think you need more unless you have more than 1 graphics card
@@estusflask982 It's a modified Seasonic Platinum which probably makes it the best PSU in the market
hi guys, i using asrock razer mobo now, i would like to switch to the new mobo, because i dont realy like the asrock one. Any suggestion? this board, dark hero or asus E gaming II? i need m.2 gen 4 slot more than 2 slot. Thanks for any feedback.
The best MB for ryzen 5900x and 5950x :) 18+2 power stages rated for 90 A, ProCool II power connectors, microfine alloy chokes and 10K Japanese-made black metallic capacitors, 4 x DIMM, max. 128GB, DDR4 5000(OC)
WEll great preview my tech guru with a passion of in depth concise protocol. The ROG Robot was touch, love the M.2 Dim card that's a blessing with 5 8Tb drives just on the mobo alone potential. Fan and RGB hub is also a nice addition along with that Rog USB utilities drive. If you want the best value i would say this board ranks high for AMD high end cpu's. Thanks for the review TTL.
PREview - more to come soon.
@@OC3D I expect nothing less from you good sir, i was thinking somewhere in the 35 minute range with 15 -20 mins for graphs and whatnot. Old school classic review with a monster cuppa and a plate of biscuits.
@@OC3D While you're right in calling this a "preview", you are dead wrong on the "more to come" part of it. OVER A YEAR LATER and you STILL haven't done a full review or build. WHY?
The sparkles do come over on cam but not reaaly done justice perhaps at 1440p. I like this preview for once, I prefer one stonking vid usually. Don't see the point of unboxings; they leave me impatient and with too much of my pint of tea and box of biccies left! :-)
One thing I'd like to know is if this excludes some feature found on lower SKU's. It really annoys me if the top of the range leaves something out.
I need this.
cool board that i might use @ 25% of its capacities ! anyway, eveything worked well on first attempt (sli 3090, dimm for dual nvme, cpu recognition with right frequ...) i jsut don't use RGB and my pc box is closed so i don't car about the 56434446 RGB and led functions !
asus tuf gaming x570 plus wifi . anyone else having problem vega 64
temps after ryzen 5000 CPU install i went from 57C on GPU with RYZEN
3600 to 74C after installing RYZEN
5600X and motherboard bios ver. 4021 update ?
so in total I can put 5x m2 nvme ssd?
ill stick to my 3090 hybrid and zaku 550m and 5950x i got since nov2020
Could you tell me when it would be available on Amazon or newegg
It’s already available on Newegg in America, but it seems to be sold out already (somehow).
it the same board as the hero dark, just has extra m.2, screen and thunderbolt, but otherwise the performance is the same, i wanted an extreme but after looking at specs im happy witht he dark, im going intel next go around and will splurge on a godlike or an extreme next time though, those of you with a dark and are wanting this board dont feel bad it the same board for the most part wuen its come to cpu oc and ram oc performance 🙂
