Recommended

For those looking for the greatest performance out of the X570 platform, go no further than the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme motherboard.

Best Buy

As far as we're concerned, the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme is without a doubt the ultimate X570 motherboard.

Tech innovation at its finest

I am therefore just a simple man who is intensely happy with a motherboard at that moment; the world is not that complex.

Platinum

This will be the best board Asus has for AMD Ryzen 5000 users, a real beast that is placed at the top in terms of performance and connectivity.

e-zone Choice

Passive heat sinks have been able to operate stably, creating a noise-free environment

HKEPC Editor's Choice 2021

It has adopted the 18+2 power stages rated for 90A for power delivery, which could help users to unleash its over-clocking potential.

Top class

Asus creates magic with perhaps the best X570 card ever made. ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme is simply really, really good.

ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Extreme: COMPREHENSIVE, as long as you have the money!

DD's MasterPiece

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme is everything we hoped it would be. It's simply an absolutely superb board, a showcase of technology in the motherboard realm. A model without compromise in terms of features and craftsmanship, and therefore without any regard for price. It is probably the best overall AMD X570 motherboard on the market at the moment.

Platinum award

What I like about this board is the so-called Dynamic OC Switcher - which when activated allows the combination of AMD Precision Boost Overdrive technology in Single Thread applications and Manual overclocking in Multithread applications.

Platinum award

This board is a real surprise for me too, because I really did not expect something like this from ASUS in this existing generation of Zen3 processors, I thought that AMD would get this treatment only with the next ZEN4.

Unboxing Motherboard 15 juta | ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme

Mobo Ryzen TERBAIK. - ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme

The whole back is covered by a very nice aluminium cover, which has to be removed during installation. The back is very complete on the connectivity side which I really appreciated. In conclusion this is a very complete card aimed at those who already know what they are looking for and what to expect, finding the top of the top and the most complete possible on the market. It is in fact, in my opinion, one of the most complete X570 boards on the market.

AN SSD IN THE PLACE OF A RAM? THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THIS MOTHERBOARD

Now there are a lot of intermediate options for every taste and need. And imitating cases of multimedia rack equipment, and exotic compact cubes, and huge towers, and even models designed to install two systems. The main thing is that you like it and there are places for all the components of the computer and cooling system.

ASUS has learned from its mistakes and brought back the daisy chain track layout topology that was lost in the X470 flagship ROG Crosshair VII Hero. Finally, we have dual BIOS, navigation between BIOS modules, the abandonment of USB 2.0 slots on the I/O panel (all 8 slots are USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications + 2x Thunderbolt 4 interfaces).
