ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO : NO! We don’t need another HERO!

[@tobi_0585]

about the 40GB USB-C XD, what I found out is that it does not support 40GB if the 1st M.2 slot is used (shares PCIe lanes). You can't find it in the manual.

[@Laurentschoice]

Ooooh sneaky !!!!

[@JeffTiberend]

Figures. This motherboard keeps looking more interesting to me.

[@theexpatgunner]

I was more than certain I was going for the X670E-E but managed to pick up the X670E HERO for 549.99 EURO so was a no brainer and purchased it today! :)

[@berndkemmereit8252]

Great to see you back on the channel. You have the best mainboard revies in my opinion.

[@Laurentschoice]

So nice of u to take the time and say it :)

[@lordreaper1214]

You know I have seen a lot of review of Motherboards where people will just point out with there finger and tell you what something is, where it is, and its specs/capabilities. I like that he took the time to take a picture and outlined the exact parts he was talking about at the time and even show everything you needed to know about that particular part in clean text form. It made understanding everything he explained very easy to understand. Thank you for the quality video.

[@Laurentschoice]

And thank YOU for ur quality comment :) I love you !

[@cheikhtidianendiaye4286]

Would love to see the crosshair X670E gene tested!

[@volcalstone]

I'm deciding between this and the E-E. One thing you could've mentioned is that if you plan on upgrading to USB4 or TB later just get the HERO instead for a cleaner look as the USB4/TB card is around $130 or so. For a little more you get better everything. I wish there was more RGB tho and that the panel was customizable.

[@carlossousa3]

What motherboard did you buy between these two?

[@volcalstone]

@@carlossousa3 HERO Maximus Z790. Yes I decided to go with Intel instead last minute. AMD X670 wasn't ready for primetime yet imo with all their RAM issues.

[@LamborghiniReven1000]

I am a big SATA device user, so having 6 SATA Ports instead of the 4 made a big difference to me, which is why I am going with the HERO.

[@daveaufradern6658]

A commentary for the algorithm. I really love your reviews, they are in depth, funny and always very informative. For me, you are the #1 MB reviewer, simply because you got the best overall package (or should i say feature set ?). Looking forward to your next review !

[@brianhoward9217]

Thanks for reviewing this board Laurent. I'm very interested in it and may, after all, pull the trigger on one. A great review, as always and as expected, you remain at the top of the segment for reviews of this nature, truly you do. I take what you say about the expense and closeness to the strix. I would still pay extra for the Crosshair - the rear I/O panel in itself almost justifies the extra in my view. Removing all slow legacy USB, as you say, and including 2x (TWO !!!) 40Gpbs USB4 (USB4 !!!) seals the deal in favour of the Crosshair Vs Strix for me. Talk about future-proofing! The only thing ASUS could do to make me a 100% happy camper would be include pcie5 support for the GPU (yes, I know, overkill much) and a pair of PS/2 ports on the rear I/O. I'm just weird like that, LOL ;-) Thanks again Laurent, keep up the exemplary work and don't let the turkeys get you down 🙂

[@dogoku]

Nice to you back in form. Missed your videos. A question I had was regarding the USB4 chipsets used. I heard from another video that there is a difference between USB4 (apparently this is the official name) chipsets and USB 4.0 (note the space) chipsets that are rebranded TB3. They were claiming that the older TB3 chipsets have access to only 32 of the 40gb/s. Do you know anything about that?

[@BleepBloop-rl2pv]

Will you do an msi meg x670e ace review?

[@AntsAndAstic]

This guy is disgustingly underrated

[@xxShinobi09]

This was a great review, and helped me a ton. Would you have hesitation pairing this board with a 9800X3D? I'm ethernet so I don't need wifi7, and I feel like this checks the boxes of a premium motherboard without having to spent $700.

[@tech-daddy]

I love this review. But I don't agree 100% that the hero is totally out of line price vise compared to the Strix. Yes 200 more is to much, but top tier products always come at a non-linear premium.

[@walkerboh39]

Thank you my friend. ...We don't need another hero, we don't need to know the way home, all we want is life beyond Thunderdome ...

[@Laurentschoice]

Ahahaha... just wanted to give her a little nudge ! :)))

[@DRTMaverick]

I like my Hero. But depends on whether you need proper lane setup or not.

[@AMDRyzenEnthusiastGroup]

Good work, Laurent!

[@russallen4069]

Great Review Thanks! What Ram would you recommend for 64GB?

[@L4tinoR4g3]

I guess the video about your X3D CPU isn't quite ready. Still awaiting on it.

[@hakinen4000]

Excellent review. Will you be doing one of the ROG Crosshair x670E Extreme?

[@Laurentschoice]

Yes. Doing the carbon first though.

[@bgpsbgps1]

Please tell me, who knows: if this motherboard has only 4 PCIe 3.0 lines for two USB4s, that means 32 Gbit. USB 4 should support 40 Gbps. There are two of them. It turns out that when connected to one USB4 there will be a maximum of 32 Gbit, and when connected to two USB4, each will have only 16 Gbit. So why are they needed here in the amount of two and called usb4? Thanks to everyone who can answer

[@TBCool]

14:40 isn't the right most connector the AIO pump one? (bottom based on the image orientation). Great review.

[@BatteryAz1z]

Oui oui, all we need is a new laurent video

[@ZedX14Pilot]

Laurent, another entertaining, passionate review. Does the Strix version of this offer the same ability to change the PCIE to 4.0 on all M.2's?

[@jdb9388]

always waiting for the finger snap/clap at the beginning 😂 Bonjur my good sir, if you we're building a PC which X670 motherboard would you choose, which is the best in your opinion

[@binarydesk8442]

Does this support AMD Multi-GPU? Though no written doc yet...

[@lunchbox1553]

So the conclusion in other words is don't get it unless you happen to be in the niche group looking to build a dual gpu system?

[@furioustester4056]

Im still getting it, that io is worth it, and the dual gpu my god its pretty much perfect for me

[@greybeard2099]

Great review. Love your content!

[@deshawn4077]

I have the ROG B650E-E, is it worth upgrading to this or the X670E-E?

[@DanCox977]

Absolutely no.

[@deshawn4077]

Thanks. If I upgrade, which board and brand would you recommend?@@DanCox977

[@brianmiller1574]

[@TheBlackDevil8]

Love your videos. They give more all the information im looking for when deciding. I would prefer the e-e But sadly my case Needs the 2 3.0 front headers =-(. Then i go ok, so now i have to pick this or the more expensive still Extreme version. Would love a video on that to be able to see what you say on the 2

[@user-vr2rq5hl6l]

Bonne vidéo! Cette carte est-elle sûre à utiliser ou va-t-elle exploser?

[@Laurentschoice]

Avec le nouveau BIOsnS t bon :)

[@cheikhtidianendiaye4286]

It's a shame not having a backplate like the Z790 HERO for this price! That makes this board useless compared to the strix...

[@jeffparryncc1701]

Is there another x670 with 2x5.0 M.2 slots for nvme ???????? And why doesn't any of the so called High End (scoffs) motherboards have 2 5.0 M.2 slots come standard????? Because not one person puts there games on C drive these days. It goes on the G: drive, G for Games drive. Which should be the 2nd M.2 slot, which should be 5.0. A BIG FU to the lot of them...

[@kry1429]

wanted this so much because i love the design of asus since i started pc building 5 years ago decided it’s time to go to gigabyte which is half the price b650e aorus master ATX and kinda looks the same

[@panvrek8952]

Nice idea for video: changes in performance on the am5 platform after the new bioses. Can we use 6000mhz memory at all after the voltage changes in any mobos? ---- Loved what you did with the coolers comparison !

[@Laurentschoice]

Yes you should be able to

[@reallyjohnblack]

I'm running 6400mhz (2x32GB) stable with the new voltages. So yes, 6000 should be easily doable for everyone.

Terrible board gives me nothing but headaches… Tried 2 different brand new boards, latest BIOS and all I got is random freezes and reboot which is kinda ridiculous. Paired with Ryzen 7950X and G.Skill CL30 AMD EXPO kit. Even running on stock also unstable. Swap to B650 for testing problem instantly solved even with OC. Just don’t get this board.

[@YELLOWVETTE]

I was able to recoup $100 by selling the useless m.2 card.

X670E-E vs X670E HERO what is difirence price is HERO future prof for ryzen 8000 series

[@MowingMichaelA]

Are the Z690 or Z790 extreme boards worth the $ for content creation? I can pick one up for the cost of a Hero board. A video covering this and the Apex/Formula mobos? The last 4 gets, I've followed your recommendations every Gen.

[@Laurentschoice]

Thanks for the kind words Michael. For content creation I'd go with the Strix . No need of more than that. Same VRM , same PCIe 5 integration .. same everything. I am reviewing the Apex though!
