We have tested and reviewed all Ryzen 7 processors, now it is time to zoom into the motherboards. This reviews details the €289 ASUS Crosshair VI Hero. The X370 motherboard is the high-end alternative in the Ryzen motherboard spectrum. A motherboard with plenty of features and options, as well as a little RGB bling.

Awesome review, seems like a nice board thanks.
Man it be awesome if you could review the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON mobo, I really love to know if you can roll with to M.2s in RAID1 with a GPU and a Sound card in your PCI E slots and not loose any performance in your M.2s. Plus also have your regular SATA slots all taken up with SSDs.

For anyone getting this mobo, I would recommend flash new Bios as first thing to do if it come with lower version then 0902.
I think mine came with 0703 or so and bellow 0902 there is risk to fry mobo IC.
Other then that its very nice mobo with a ton of USBs. I even bought M.2 wifi/BT card, just waiting for pigtail cable to test it.

I believe it was stated in some review that you can't raid M.2 on those mobos.
Even if it was possible you would degrade performance as 2nd M.2 runs on much lower speed.

Nice review, nice to see AMD delivering a strong competitive CPU as well.
(And nice to see Asus still doing some pretty good motherboards.)
EDIT: Wonder if those newly revealed 12-cores will be the R9 series then, and whatever motherboard model that will use, well I guess we'll see.
In any case it's good to see some actual competition again, will be interesting to see what Intel will release next and what the next Ryzen CPU's will be.
(Heh guess this is a ever ongoing process, have to upgrade eventually though, ha ha.)
