Gold Award

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme motherboard is simply one of the best AM4 motherboards we have used to date. Its performance was simply flawless. This motherboard was truly designed with the computer hardware enthusiast in mind.

Editor's Choice

ASUS’s does it again with the ROG Crosshair VI Extreme. They’ve taken their own magic mix of engineering and knowhow and made an elite platform for AMD’s Ryzen CPU’s.

Editor's Choice Award

“As I said, this motherboard does have a lot of compelling features. The motherboard offers up dual M.2 mounts, and there’s an M.2 PCH heatsink for one of them, allowing you to squeeze more performance under heavy usage. It’s got loads of cool RGB lighting too, giving you plenty of visual customisation to play around with. Not everyone is sold on RGB lighting, and you can turn it off. However, this is by far one of the nicest looking motherboards on the market right now, from the rear I/o to the PCH heatsink, it’s drop-dead gorgeous.”

Enthusiast Grade

“So it performs brilliantly, looks fantastic, is full of monster array of connectivity options and easily crushes the field when it comes to overclocking. There are no issues, no problems, no gaps in its capabilities. If you want the best platform upon which to build an AMD system this is it, and so it easily wins our OC3D Enthusiast Award.”

Efficiency

The motherboard reaches us in a huge package made in the classic ROG style. In the middle you will find a lot, a lot of elements:

Recommendation

ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme is undoubtedly a very good motherboard. We have everything we need and much, much more.

Design

The design is at the highest level (solid heaters of the power section, powerful chipset heatsink, backplate), the design is quite universal, but with character that will appeal to a large number of users (also mention a very large number of illuminated elements).

OCDrift Silver

For the first time since ages ago, finally we are able to see a real battle over performance and value in the CPU market.

OCDrift Silver

For the first time since ages ago, finally we are able to see a real battle over performance and value in the CPU market. With the Ryzen desktop processors, AMD managed to shake up Intel’s product positioning significantly, taking back some portions of CPU market share pie from Santa Clara-based chipmaker.

Intuitive Audio-Tuning Suite

Sonic Studio III

Sonic Studio III now supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The Sonic Studio GUI also offers a range of EQ options, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.

*A head-related transfer function is an audio algorithm derived from sound data recorded through a dummy head. Test tones are played from a spherical grid around the dummy head to obtain subtle changes in sounds that arrive from different directions. The results are combined into an algorithm that allows Sonic Studio’s virtual surround to process sound true to life.
**Please note HRTF function is available only in version 3.6 and later.
