ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

Macclipper

For those who want quietness and reliability, there is good reason to opt for this model since its massive heatsinks effectively void the need for active cooling on the X570 chipset.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero represents a dream motherboard for many converters, as it offers an extensive feature set, passive chipset cooling, and an exclusive overclocking feature.

It is one of the thickest, coolest, most beautiful boards on the market, and one that does not allow you to feel any negative emotions when using the bios and software...

The ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero packs all modern features that incorporate all of the 4+ years of AMD AM4 platform as X570 will be the last high-end AM4 chipset before the switch to a new socket for Zen 4 processors with DDR5 memory support. So, in that sense, this is the last and the best X570 motherboard by ASUS. The VRM is built for the extreme and ready for anything with a premium 90A 8-phase parallel (8×2) design, that can handle LN2 and your world record ambition if you like.

one of the best boards this generation has seen for the X570 platform.

目前由 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero 獨佔的 Dynamic OC Switcher 功能，不只解決了全核定頻超頻容易過熱當機的問題，還能兼顧絕佳的單核效能，對於想要在 AMD 平台常態超頻用戶來說，是非常好的設計。

這次的實測也驗證了AMD Ryzen 5000系列在Dark Hero上的絕佳表現，不論是在跑分軟體、遊戲還是創作程式，其所展現的效能都是無庸置疑的強大，相信對於追求外型和極致效能的玩家來說，ROG Corsshair VIII Dark Hero + AMD Ryzen 9 5950X的組合將會是將主機效能推至頂點的關鍵。

AMD Ryzen 5000 強勢出擊，憑著 Zen 3 架構更新 19% IPC 提升，更在單核、多核與遊戲效能中奪得「最強遊戲處理器」之美名，但因為這代 I/O Die 沒更新的情況下，沿用著既有 X570、B550 與 400 系列主機板；因此華碩 ROG 則讓英雄再臨，主要改變為無風扇設計的「ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero」主機板，維持著 16 相供電、PCIe 4.0、雙 M.2 與 8 SATA 擴充，以及背板多達 12 個 USB、雙 1GbE + 2.5GbE 與 Wi-Fi 6 等高規格。

最後一個 AM4 腳位的 Ryzen 系列處理器在 11 月 5 日正式解禁，其代號 Vermeer，上市型號為 Ryzen 5000 系列，現階段 AMD 提供 16、12、8 以及 6 核心等 4 款處理器讓市場做選擇。另一方面，AM4 腳位的 Ryzen 5000 系列處理器延用目前的 X570、B550 晶片主機板，同時也有部分 B450 晶片主機板也能支援相關處理器，對於一些使用者來說，這可能是個值得開心的事情，畢竟可以省下主機板的更換費用。 當然，也有主機板廠順勢推出新的 AM4 腳位主機板，如 ASUS 以及 MSI，而我們也收到 ASUS 寄出來的 ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero 主機板搭配 Ryzen 9 5950X 這款 16 核心的處理器進行測試。

在規格上，ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO 算是維持 ROG 旗艦主機板的設定，包括 16 相供電、兩個 M.2 SSD 插槽、兩組 PCIe 4.0 x16 插槽、2.5 GbE + 1 GbE 雙網路設計以及大量的 USB Type-A 連接埠等等，基本上應能滿足大多數玩家的需求，不過就現實面來說，跟陳拔先前的測試平台 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero （WI-FI）並沒有太大差異，但若是想體驗無風扇帶來的安靜運作以及嶄新外觀設計，ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO 會是值得考慮的選擇。

It was a model that won our admiration with its 3 huge cooling fans, successful design and very good cooling performance.

Therefore, it can serve as a basis in a variety of systems: from a working PC with prolonged loads and to a bench stand for nitrogen sessions, from a gaming one, with an emphasis on appearance, to assembling an enthusiast with a self-assembled LSS. I have absolutely nothing to complain about for the entire time of working with the board, and therefore I can safely recommend it for purchase to everyone who began to secretly dream about it.

Dark Hero is an excellent hi-end board that will please especially extreme clockers, tuners, 'freecoolins' and passive cooling enthusiasts. Basically, I don't have much to blame for the board, the price is traditionally high for a product of this type, while the board would have a longer warranty.

The board tested today is top notch in all directions, the functionality is 100%. If you want an absolute highend for the Ryzen 5000, there's nothing to deal with. But just because of that you can't buy this board. The main reason is Dynamic OC Switcher and overclocking.

It is primarily a complexity, ie a combination of still reasonable price, passive cooling, extremely high quality workmanship, including extreme OC support, reasonable design and ATX size. Then yes, the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO is probably the best set and X570 board on the market today.
