Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD X570 Socket AM4 ATX

PERFORMANCEROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero boasts an optimized power design layout and all the cooling headers you need to handle the prodigious power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors. Teamed Power ArchitectureModern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current while maintaining exemplary thermal performance. ASUS Optimem IIIInfused with proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise Optimem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies reduced voltages and operate at higher frequencies. Stack the Dark Hero with your favorite modules and maximize Zen 3 processors throughput for applications that demand massive bandwidth or balance infinity fabric and memory performance for a diverse range of workloads. COOLINGMaintaining system stability is paramount under high load so Crosshair VIII Dark Hero employs passive chipset cooling with large VRM and chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area and mass. Featuring premium components and multiple fan headers Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is fully armed to provide the best foundation for gaming systems. Cooling Heatsinks VRM heatsink – The two VRM heatsinks are placed above the MOSFETs and chokes and are connected by a heat-pipe to further increase surface area for heat dissipation. M.2 heatsink – Two dedicated heatsinks keep the dual M.2 SSDs at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability. High-conductivity thermal pad – A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power s
