ASUS Teases ROG Crosshair VI Hero and X370 Motherboards
ASUS on its Facebook page is teasing two AMD Ryzen compatible AM4 motherboards. The release of the processor series obviously invokes new chipsets and thus motherboards to be released as well. While we already have shared a number of things on the ASUS motherboards, they themselves are now teasing them.
Is seems that the main focus for ASUS are the Republic of Gamers Crosshair VI Hero and then the Prime X370 motherboards, much like the ones discussed before with the releases and publicly available AMD slide decks. ASUS once again is making a clear statement with the RGB AURA SYNC enabled motherboards. other then that you can spot the typical four DDR4 DIMM slots, M2 SSD capability and eight SATA3 ports. The animated GIF shows a thing or two alright.
Prices on these motherboards have been spotted as well, expect roughly 249 USD for the Crosshair VI Hero and 169 USD for the Prime X370-Pro.

No just NO Asus , all i need when i think about AMD is a 100euros mobo that has decent OC potential , i don't care abour RGBlight's , fancy VRM radiators that we know don't really matter anymore like in the old day's.
So yeah wating for the cheapo stuff

I'd take a poke at that Prime mobo. You can keep the fugly blinky lights though, I don't want my case looking like the cops are chasing me.

A single M.2 is a bit disappointing.

I don't really know what the Formula would add (beyond more RGB stuff, of course). The water temp/flow stuff from the Maxumus IX and maybe a waterblock on the VRMs? More fan headers? I suppose those would make sense given the X-series chips being only limited on OC speeds by temperatures. That being the case, it would be cool to see a monoblock like the Maximus IX Extreme, I guess.
AMD is setting themselves up to be the best value for your money, trying to sell $400-500 mobos doesn't really fit with that. That's likely why everyone is being very conservative about their boards at launch. If/when the chips start selling like crazy, then the crazy boards for overclockers will get made, but it will be a while most likely.
