Crosshair VIII Hero Dark vs Hero WIFI
The only functional difference I see between the Crosshair VIII Hero WIFI and the Crosshair VIII Hero Dark is the former has a chipset fan and the latter has a passive system with a heat pipe and heat sinks. Is that the only difference?

1st or 2nd week in November for $399. Glad to see it released, but kinda sucks it will miss launch.

I waited to do a Ryzen build until the 5000 series was released. I was going to buy a CH-Viii Hero WiFi but decided to wait until I could actually buy a Vermeer processor so I wouild be in the easy return window if the board had a problem. Now I am glad I waited. I really did not want a chipset fan and everyone knows 90A is better than 60A. I just hope I don't have to wait weeks and weeks (and weeks) to get my hands on a Ryzen 5900X and a CH-Viii Dark Hero. I'm sure the bots will be busy, IT's getting ridiculous!!
