ASUS AM4 Prime X370 and Crosshair VI Hero Motherboards slides

ASUS AM4 Prime X370 and Crosshair VI Hero Motherboards slides

It seems that a sales slide presentation of ASUS AM4 (Ryzen) motherboards has surfaced, and theres a lot of detail in there. ASUS seems to focus and prioritize two models, the Crosshair VI Hero and Prime X370.

The slides originate from an AMD "Meet the Experts" meeting held this morning and will bring a bit of insight into Ryzen motherboards.

This first model is a real gaming motherboard alright, suitable for overclocking and teaking as well with an advanced VRM for the CPU. It includes support for M.2-NVMe SSDs, USB 3.1 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi as well as ESS Sabre DAC and amplifier. The Prime X370 RGB has a M.2 NVMe support and USB 3.1 ports, buthere it uses a Realtek 1220 audio chip and lacks WiFi.

Both products all will see LED galore. And these are just two out of many boards released. ASUS will be fabbing X370, B350 and A320 motherboards.

Check the slides for all info, it is a good browse.

These slides were not leaked, they came from a AMD event they had yesterday called "Meet the Experts". Which was open for the public to view also. Here's some more of the slides from that event.

The Prime is the most attractive of those boards... the Crosshair is simply ugly and has a bunch of features I don't want. I have a soundcard, from Asus, I don't want to use an onboard one and I don't want to pay a premium for one.

Where's the enthusiast hardware that has high quality heatsinks not covered in plastic and LEDs and that isn't bundled with a ton of features that I can get in add-in boards?

The deluxe from Asus will be that board you are looking for.
Maybe they will release one, although Asus did not release one for the z270 lineup.

Apropos Feature Rich:

I lately wanted to upgrade from a 2600k to 6700k, back in November before the 7700k came out.

I opted for a MSI M9 Z170A Gaming board, top of the line with all you could desire.
End result was, it never ran properly, Volts were far off and 4 weeks later the board bricked.
Well, I always used Asus and thought MSI was a misfit and RMAed the board and got me the Asus Maximus VIII Extreme instead, same 6700k, same Corsair XMP3000 CL15 DDR4 RAM.
That board bricked its PXE ROM after 3 days, well..not so bad, I inserted a 1Gbit card and went on..for another day until the board went Qcode 00---> RMA again
This time I got the same model board back, all new and shiny, also replaced the CPU with an also brand new 6700k, directly from Intel NL.
The board worked 2 days until it bricked with qcode 16----> RMA AGAIN.
That time I sent it ALL back and got me the cheapest board that will do it, no gimmicks, no WC add-onsd, no Wifi no tb, nada.

If that new yet to arrive Asus Prime Z270 A along with a new 7700k and 32 GB
XMP3600 will also brick then I dunno.

I am used to board without LED and gimmicks but they function, these days you get lots of gimmicks but they plain dont work properly. More time is invested in looks and hype than in solid reliable performance.

Even the X99-WS/IPMI I got, same story, flashed the IPMI and it BRICKED !
Good thing with Asus WS boards is a fast exchange of boards and premium service.
With a 450€ ROG board you dont get that WS like service, you are a plain ordinary customer
that has to wait for his parts to arrive and be returned. WS would be the onlx expensive board I will buy again from Asus, unless they drop the LEDs and get back to what they used to be, a reliable source for solid boards.

SInce Nov 17th I am fighting 3 bricked boards ( +1 WS board ). Not nice.

The only god thing is, meanwhile I moved to 7th gen CPU with all the RMA back and forth.

* need to edit my HW-sig...LoL Maximus Extreme...NO THANK YOU :)
