Feature of ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO DDR5 AMD Motherboard

Dynamic OC Switcher

Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways.

Asynchronous Clock

For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed

PBO ENHANCEMENT

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance.

VRM and aluminum I/O heatsink

A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.

M.2 heatsinks and backplates

Large aluminum heatsinks provide extensive surface area to cool mounted M.2 drives, and each of the three onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots has a dedicated backplate for additional heat dissipation.

Chipset heatsink

A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from both chipsets to maintain optimum operating temperature.

High-conductivity thermal pads

Each thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink.

pcie 5.0

Fully embracing the new standard, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero offers abundant Gen 5 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

BIOS Q-DASHBOARD

Simplify your motherboard configuration with BIOS Q-Dashboard. Its intuitive visual representation of hardware connections and corresponding BIOS settings takes the complexity out of setting up your system.

ASUS DriverHub

ASUS DriverHub streamlines the installation and management of ASUS drivers and utilities to keep your hardware up-to-date and performing optimally. This standalone application automatically detects current driver versions and presents available updates in a list view. By default, it supports ASUS motherboards, and users are invited to install ASUS DriverHub after OS installation. Additionally, ASUS DriverHub offers one-click installation and update checks, making it easier for users to keep their systems running smoothly and efficiently.

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. This creates an immersive audio experience, giving the sensation of sound coming from above, below, and around the listener.

ASUS GlidEx

ASUS GlideX is a cross-device, cross-platform screen-sharing, screen-control and operation solution for enhanced productivity across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via USB or WiFi. Features include screen mirroring, screen extension, unified control with one keyboard and mouse, easy file transfers, and using mobile cameras as PC webcams. It's compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

AIDA64 Extreme

The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero includes a one-year AIDA64 Extreme subscription, a tool that provides detailed information about hardware and software, as well as benchmarks to measure the performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostics feature to detect and prevent hardware issues. All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or to the LCD panels of ROG AIO liquid coolers*.

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. In addition, Armoury Crate’s Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.
