Showcase - ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero

We already had the opportunity to examine the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero from ASUS., as well as the Extreme edition. This round the STRIX X670E-E Gaming WIFI motherboard gets its turn. There are four M.2 slots on this new motherboard, three of which are PCIe 5.0 compliant and one PCIe 4.0 compatible. This motherboard includes two PCIe 5.0 16x slots and a single PCIe x1 slot. The implementation of PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 across the circuitry differs between the X670E and X670 boards. The "E" in X670E stands for "Extreme," It ensures that the board has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and at least one PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket.

The motherboard has two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for a video card configuration of x16 or x8/x4. There are also three extra PCIe 5.0 x4 slots for Gen5 M.2 SSDs. The PCIe 5.0 lanes are provided by the Ryzen 7000 CPU, while the PCIe 4.0 lanes are provided by the chipset, which only supports PCIe 4.0.  The ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFifeatures Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a high-quality Realtek ALC4080 audio chip with an integrated Savitech amplifier.

The ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi has an 18+2 teamed power phase design with 110A VRM/MOSFET ratings. The build quality is comparable to the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, which employs an 18+2 teamed power phase design rated at 110A per VRM/MOSFET.

The ROG Crosshair X670E Hero includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity through an internal header and one USB Type-C port on the motherboard I/O. Furthermore, the motherboard has twelve USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports on the motherboard I/O, ten of which are Type-A and two of which are Type-C. With the internal headers, you may add two more USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections and six more USB 2.0 ports. The left side of the PCB features four angled SATA ports, a USB 3.2 Gen1 header, a USB 3.2 Gen 22 header, and a 24-pin ATX connector. A Q-LED post screen, a 3-pin ARGB header, a 4-pin RGB header, a power button, a 4-pin fan header, and three more 4-pin fan headers are located in the top right corner. This brings the total to eight 4-pin fan headers, which is quite impressive.

DDR5 memory banks can handle overclocked speeds of up to 6400 MHz. A total of 128 GB of DDR5 memory can be accommodated. The power phase architecture comprises of an 18+2 teamed configuration with 110A MOSFETs. The term "twin" refers to a connection with two power phases per MOSFET. The tolerated currents are delivered to each phase (two parts) via the PWM signal. These turn on and off at the same time. In comparison to a traditional design with a phase doubler, the balance is thus very pure. To keep the VRMs/110A mosfets cool, a large metal heatsink has been installed.

An HDMI port, a DisplayPort, twelve USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (ten Type-A and two Type-C), a USB 3.2 Gen 22 port in the form of Type-C, a BIOS FlashBack button, a CMOS reset button, a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, two SMA connectors for the included antenna (Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2), an optical audio input, and five audio jacks comprise the motherboard I/O.
