  1. Max boost for AMD Ryzen processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150
  2. Overclocking and/or undervolting AMD processors and memory, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate outside of AMD’s published specifications will void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when enabled via AMD hardware and/or software. This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer. Users assume all risks and liabilities that may arise out of overclocking and/or undervolting AMD processors, including, without limitation, failure of or damage to hardware, reduced system performance and/or data loss, corruption or vulnerability.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene sits at an odd place for high-end consumers. It has all the amenities of a flagship motherboard but some features have been cutdown in the name of overclocking. It is an expensive board but those who want to take their overclocking to the next level while still having a relatively well-rounded board for regular use, then the ROG Crosshair X670 Gene is one to look out for.

Do you want a top quality X670E platform AM5 board in a handy compact but not unnecessarily restrictive size? So mATX? So this is your only option and choice.

ASUS X670E CROSSHAIR GENE offers very extensive manual clocking and tuning options for the CPU and RAM. Crucially, however, the board also features great automation for both CPU and RAM overclocking, which works flawlessly. This will come in handy especially for inexperienced users, but also for those who want maximum performance and don't want to waste time.

The AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs are coming and since you’ll be needing a brand new AM5 motherboard if you’re going for the upgrade, the earliest models you can get right now are the X670 and X670E chipset motherboards. We managed to get our hands on some for testing out the new Ryzen 9 7950X and one of the motherboards is my personal favorite so far – the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene.
