Product description Ready for AMD Ryzen, 7th Generation A-Series, and Athlon processors, the Republic of Gamers Crosshair VI Hero AM4 ATX Motherboard from ASUS provides gamers with ROG's Water-Cooling Zone, Aura Sync RGB LEDs, the SupremeFX S1220 audio codec, 5-Way Optimization, Intel Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C, M.2, and more. This motherboard is designed to fit in ATX sized cases, supports the AM4 socket and the AMD X370 chipset, and compatible with Windows 10 (64-bit). It is also ready for VR (virtual reality).
The ATX form factor of the Crosshair VI Hero can support 64GB of RAM, with Ryzen processors supporting memory speeds of 3200 (OC), 2666, 2400, and 2133 MHz, and A-Series and Athlon processors supporting speeds of 2400 and 2133 MHz. Four dual-channel DIMM slots can each hold 16GB of DDR4 non-ECC and unbuffered memory, for a total of up to 64GB. It also has a total of 8 x SATA III 6 Gb/s ports that support RAID 0, 1, and 10 and 1 x M.2 Socket 3 connector. While all compatible processors support Type 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 SSDs, Ryzen processors support PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA drives, while A-Series and Athlon processors only support SATA drives.
There are also a total of four USB 3.0 ports (back panel), one USB 3.1 front panel connector, six USB 3.0 ports (four at the back panel, 2 at mid-board), six USB 2.0 ports (four at the back panel, 2 at mid-board), one USB 3.1 Type-A port (back panel), and one USB 3.1 Type-C port (back panel). For those looking to expand their system using PCIe, there are three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (max. at x4 mode). Additionally, Ryzen processors support two PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slots (x16 or dual x8) and A-Series/Athlon processors support one PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slot (x8 mode).
The Crosshair VI Hero does not contain any support for integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a dedicated GPU. Once that GPU is installed, multi-GPU output is supported, with NVIDIA 2-Way SLI technology and AMD CrossFireX technology.
Using the ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel HD S1220 audio codec, the Crosshair VI Hero can support 120 dB SNR stereo playback output and 113 dB SNR input support. Audio can also be output using the integrated five audio jacks or one S/PDIF jack. ASUS' Republic of Gamers Crosshair VI Hero AM4 ATX Motherboard is equipped with features such as Fan Xpert 4, Sonic Studio III, Sonic Radar III, Pro Clock technology, UEFI BIOS, SafeSlot, ESD guards, DRAM overcurrent protection, and more. Included are an ASUS Q-Shield, four SATA III cables, an M.2 screw package, an SLI Bridge, an ROG big sticker, a Q-Connector, a 10-in-1 ROG cable label, an RGB extension cable, a 3D printing mount package, and an ROG coaster.
