Introduction and Technical SpecificationsFeatures and Motherboard LayoutCPU Cooler Fit and Included Accessori
Price will throw some buyers
Onboard buttons will be tricky to spot or reach in some PC cases
Could use a better BIOS layout or at least a detailed BIOS guide
Not yet entirely stable
This motherboard is still a good three months away from receiving a stable BIOS update

When it comes to Ryzen, there is only one word that comes to mind, excitement. We are excited to put this new CPU architecture through its paces and finding out exactly how well it performs, both in gaming applications and in more general computing tasks...

The ASUS ROG Crosshair series has, for many, been the pinnacle of AMD performance boards for the longest time. There is nothing that I saw on this board that really changes that dynamic. When you look at the overall performance delivered by the Crosshair...
The ASUS Crosshair VI Hero is pretty much the benchmark motherboard at the moment. It has all the platform features people want, its overclocking features and overall performance are sound, and it has features that no one had thought of before launch. Ad...

It's probably a change of pace for the motherboard manufacturers to design modern, well-equipped AMD products. However nearly every participating manufacturer has succeeded in releasing one or more products on the market that we'd recommend. We're taking...

None, “If you’re looking for a high-end gaming motherboard for your new Ryzen CPU, with a robust range of features and great performance, the ASUS RoG Crosshair VI Hero is one of the best X370 motherboards on the market today!”, ASUS RoG Crosshair VI Hero
PriceThe ASUS RoG Crosshair VI Hero X370 Motherboard doesn't come cheap, with a current retail price of £228, although it did launch with an MSRP of £250. That's a good price point for a high-end X370 motherboard, and as much as I love the MSI XPower Tita...
Fantastic performance on the Ryzen AM4 platform, Comes with AM3 and AM4 cooler mountings for maximum compatibility, Supports LN2 pots with AM3 mountings (a life saver for me personally), Best memory support we have seen with Ryzen (so far), Looks brillia

Worked correctly with highspeed 3200MHz G.SKILL DDR4 with some tweaks, Internal 10Gbps USB 3.1 header is a positive, A good range of overclocking features – onboard buttons and voltage monitoring points, Mounting compatibility for 3D printed accessories,
Additional UEFI features would be welcomed – AURA RGB LED control especially, Very little onboard LED lighting compared to competing products, No M.2 cooling or native U.2 connector (M.2 fan bracket purchasable separately), Rear 10Gbps USB 3.1 is around 2
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard shows good performance that allows a Ryzen 7 CPU to flex its muscle. Overclocking performance was also solid, with the board managing to take our 1800X to 4.05GHz at a sensible 1.4V (once ASUS' annoying LLC level...
With audio and next-gen storage performance on par with Intel-based rivals plus all the usual Asus ROG features, the stage is set for a battle between Intel and AMD, and the Crosshair VI Hero is a great example of a board that will be able to take the fig...
