ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme AMD X570 Socket AM4 Extended ATX

ROG Crosshair VIII ExtremeThe ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme combines the best elements of the renowned ROG X570 motherboard lineup into a single beastly package amped to elevate Ryzen-based builds beyond all boundaries.PERFORMANCEAdvanced engineering and menacing power lay the foundation for the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme to thrive where others choke.Teamed Power ArchitectureModern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current. while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase doublers in the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard back in 2005. The board’s VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power-handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits lead to phase doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry. and they are still used for similar purposes today.Today’s CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors. and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. As an added bonus. these processors also consume less power at idle and can transition between loads states much more quickly. These improvements necessitated a re-evaluation of power design priorities. because phase doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.The latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear. making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn’t hamstrung by the processing lag of phase doublers. That’s why the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst-current per phase. while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers control the circuit. and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. That's why ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme utilizes 20 power stages. The high-end power stages feature a low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses. helping to improve overall thermal headroom.ASUS OptiMem IIIWith proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise. OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies and reduced voltages while operating at higher frequencies. Stack the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme with your favorite modules and maximize AMD Zen 3 processor throughput for applications that demand massive bandwidth. or balance infinity fabric and memory performance for a diverse range of workloads.DYNAMIC OC SWITCHERDynamic OC Switcher gives Ryzen processors newfound agility to crush multi-threaded workloads and slice through single-threaded apps. Simply configure a manual overclock for heavy tasks and then select a current threshold for Dynamic OC Switcher to automatically flip between your profile and AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO).COOLINGHeavyweight cooling keeps onboard components and high-performance M.2 drives chilled without requiring direct airflow to deal with the thermal onslaught.​Cooler by DesignThe ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme features comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.ROG Water-Cooling ZoneDual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header feed information straight into the AI Suite utility. allowing you to track coolant temperatures and the flow rate of the entire loop.ROG Fan ControllerThe ROG Fan Controller offers six additional headers that can be controlled via FanXpert 4. The card features two temperature-sensor headers. along with two thermistors that can be attached to various components. There are also six ARGB headers to illuminate compatible fans and addressable strips.CONNECTIVITYAdvanced connectivity features including WiFi 6E and two Ethernet ports provide all the bandwidth needed for smooth online and LAN gameplay. File transfers and load times get a boost as well. thanks to a front-panel USB 3.2 2x2 header. The header also supports PD 3.0 60-watt power deliver for charging devices. Additionally. there’s onboard SupremeFX audio for rich. premium sound.WiFi 6EOnboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. providing up to three times the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band and up to seven 160 MHz bands to deliver ultrafast wireless networking speeds along with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.Marvell AQtion 10 Gbps EthernetDesigned to meet the demanding requirements of power users and content creators. 10 Gbps onboard Ethernet provides a new level of home networking. With up to 10 times the bandwidth of standard gigabit Ethernet. uncompressed 4K UHD video streaming is perfectly smooth and system backups and fi
