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?

Yes CPU power delivery on original Hero there are 60A power stage on new are 90A. So it has better VRM

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!!

Issue: restarting causing freeze & stuck at bios logo, but shutdown boot fine without issue. Only restart.
My video showing problem : https://youtu.be/0IcN1Uf9S1s

This is a strange issue. Restart is a problem, it stuck at a0 error at logo bios & there's green led light. But a0 is actually not an error code.

How to 'fix' temporary is only with shutdown. If it restarts, it hangs. If it hangs, press the power button, it's off, then on the power button again, it fixes.

After it's boot fine from shutdown, the pc works fine, with no issues at all. ONLY RESTART cause this issue.

Things i have done :

1) change other RAM
2) Change ram position
3) change other m.2 ssd with windows 10 fresh installed, also tried dual booting with 2 m.2 slot windows 10 installed.
4) change m.2 slot position
5) reinstall cpu (wasted my expensive kryonaut thermal ðŸ˜*)
6) reinstall case power cable & all other cables
7) remove all 5x SATA cable storage
😎 remove all monitor cable ( have 3 monitor)
9. Test with single monitor & other hdmi & dp cable
10) clear cmos
11) reset bios
12) upgrade bios
14) downgrade bios
15) turn off & on 'fast-start' option at window & bios setting

please help me with this, already 3 months hoping that bios updates fix the issue but to no avail!
