Review: ASUS ROG Crosshair VII HERO (Wifi) - A Proper Mobo For 2nd Gen Ryzen
ASUS is ready for Ryzen 2000 / Zen+, this round they've released their ROG Crosshair VII HERO (Wifi), which we just have to review. Alongside the release of Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X processors, AMD prepped the X470 chipset, that offers a more fine-tuned experience for your Ryzen processor. The new Hero, however, is taking things to an entirely new level.

Good review, as usual...the pricing on some of these x470 boards has me scratching my head...As you mention, the x370 chipset is very, very close and ~$100 less than these prices...! Hmmmm....

You can spot X470 motherboards for 150 bucks, just not these flagship model motherboards. Once I find some time, I'll look deeper into the performance effects in between X370 and X470.
However, even now the CH6 and CH7, for example, both cost roughly the same.

I meant it more as a choice. Someone who can afford 2x GPU is quite likely to be able to afford 2x M2 drive.
Someone that can afford all that likely has a threadripper CPU and doesn't need to worry about that issue.
2700x same clocks as 8600k yet again for gamers 8600k delivers about 10FPS more. At the same price.
^ Guess this guy likes to play at 720p. Ultra gamer here guys!

Yep, you're right...I spoke too soon, I think. The MSI board you reviewed is the top of the line offering from MSI, apparently, which I didn't realize. I was of the opinion that they'd probably keep the same branding names for the x470 motherboards--so at first it appeared that they were charging a big premium for the x470 mboards that were middle-to-high end in the x370 series. Thanks for setting me straight on that--glad to hear it...
