It's called Extreme so if it didn't go overboard with it's features then not really an extreme :-) I just got mine and I have a huge smile on my face, worth every penny IMO , i paid £719.59! It's my Mega build so I had to got for this MB.

[@TheTanelChannel]

Jesus christ :D thats so hella expensive for a mobo.. but enjoy the build man, definetly a GREAT mobo!

[@jess2690]

The quality of ur videos (editing, b-roll shots, etc.) and the information from them is fantastic! Keep up the great work!

[@TheTanelChannel]

I mean thank you :D although I think the most popular channels have waaay better videos.. its just.. ahh I need to buy lighting, 4k camera.. better audio maybe and that is a bit too much for me right now. Thankfully 1080p holds up somewhat still. Also big tech companies dont really wanna send stuff to low view count channels so id eighter have to buy tech out or pray for jebus that someone lends me stuff to make videos.

I was lucky and found it for: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme Motherboard £393.99 + £39.99 shipping. what a bargin

[@taizens1878]

This motherboard is crazy! Absoulutely Insane.

[@TheTanelChannel]

Yeah but I would most definetly just go with the ROG X570-E at around 350USD rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x570-e-gaming-model/

[@MutinyInteractive]

How about the fact you can’t fit a 3090 in the 16x slot bc of the OLED when you need to active backplate it…. Did you think of that? Doesn’t fit on like 80-90% of all ASUS boards Nice job missing this in every review out there besides one and my own words

[@DattBoiiSavage]

3090's don't fit on this board?

[@tommcqueen2840]

If thats true, just use a vertical GPU mount. Thats what I'm doing.

[@estusflask982]

@@DattBoiiSavage 3090 fits fine I don't know what this guy is talking about.

[@tommcqueen2840]

Doing a dual water loop 5950x, EVGA FTW3 ULTRA 3090, 64GB DDR4 4000 build with this M/B now. Using all EKWB blocks for CPU/VRM and GPU cooling.

[@estusflask982]

rollin in the dough

[@Slacker28]

Is there any way to use all the pcie slots without taking away any bandwidth from the gpu

[@jonnyrb26]

Insana. Esta na minha lista para quando eu ganhar na mega sena.

[@OGHawkeye]

im a first time builder and this motherboard is actually a disappointment. i bought this mobo refurbished and it didnt come with the dimm.2 - m.2 adapter connection...this presents a major problem becuase you CANNOT USE ANY OF THE BOTTOM M.2 SLOTS WITHOUT IT TAKING AWAY POWER LANES FROM YOUR GPU!!!! your only option is to use the dimm.2. i only found this out as i was beginning to build and stumbled across a random video with an old guy explaining it.....NOBODY ELSE TOUCHES ON THIS AND ITS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFO

[@theopszone6775]

Oh do you still have tht mobo?

[@OGHawkeye]

@@theopszone6775yeah I do

[@estusflask982]

My GPU works great and I'm using all the M.2 slots.

[@scottatkinson666]

I've purchased this along with a 5950x for my first PC build. Probably overkill but oh well... it's only money, haha.

[@TheTanelChannel]

What did you make millions off of NFT-s? :D but yea overall its a great board just a bit absurd pricerange for most people

[@scottatkinson666]

@@TheTanelChannel Haha, I wish. Over the past two years whilst people were forced to stay at home I was still able to work but had nothing to spend the money I'd earned because there was nowhere to go. So now I've decided to build my "dream" PC and thought it worth going almost as crazy as possible. Minus the 3090 which I refuse to pay the extortionate price for at the moment, I think I've managed it.

[@Dean341]

What cases will this fit in. I want to upgrade but I don't want a overly large case

[@TheTanelChannel]

Pretty sure it will fit just fine into the TUF GT502, Im gonna upload a review of it in the next few days.. its like one of the best modular cases ive ever seen..

[@Dean341]

@@TheTanelChannel thanks for the reply. The GT502 looks alot like the O11. I was hoping more along the lines of the Phanteks p500a as it gives a 3x140mm intake option just the dimensions im not sure of. Strange there isn't any build videos with the Crosshair viii extreme to sure options
