ASUS rolling out many Ryzen 3000 series motherboards. In this review we check out the Crosshair VIII HERO in combination with a Ryzen 7 3700X processor, AMD prepped the X570 chipset, that offers a more fine-tuned experience for your Ryzen Generation 3 processor. The new Hero, however, is taking things to an entirely new level. Including PCIe Gen 4.0 and AX Wifi.

Brought this board last week, fairly impressed with the quality of it so far. Sadly I'm still waiting on my 3900X to give it a run out.

According to Hilberts screenshot he's using the 7507 BIOS based on the older AGESA 1.0.0.2, Asus have an updated BIOS 0702 based on the newer AGESA 1.0.0.3AB.

these asus bios's are confusing, why in the heck is 0066 the latest AMD validated version for 3k reviews.

Really nice mobo but unfortunately here Gougeland (NZ) it's well out of my financial reach at $746.35NZD add in the cost of a RyZen 3 R7 3700X at $573.85 and it starts getting well outta hand price wise combined that's $1300+ just for a CPU & Mobo and even if I sold my brand new 3 week old R7 2700 and TUF X470 Plus Gaming I'd still be quite alot short

Nice review too HH you always do a great job
