Customer Ratings & Reviews

Is it worth the extra $200 over the E-Gaming? Probably not. I personally just couldn't resist as imo this MB looks amazing! Performance is 100% there too. Overclocking is super easy, and the layout is good as well. My nickname just so happens to Rog as well so that's a definite plus!

Fantastic successor to older X670 boards with killer design, features and reliability for 7000 and 9000 series CPU’s.

This thing is a boss!. So much room for overclocking, and literally everything you could ask for in a motherboard. I do not like the shared lanes for m.2 and GPU however I would never run that many m.2 drives anyways lol. You only need 2 really large M.2 drives to have enough storage for just about anything you could want. I have this paired with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D (beast mode), an PNY RTX 5080 and TridentZ Royal 6000, sitting inside of the HYTE Y70 case, and more RGB than a European rave.

This motherboard is an exceptional top-of-the-line device. It surpasses all expectations and is highly recommended for enthusiasts seeking the finest performance.

I wouldn’t really say any flaws you know what you’re buying. I had no issues with the install and it’s been running great for the past month.

Expensive but very well built. Heaviest motherboard I have ever had. Working great after 30 days of use.

The PCIE Card part of your GPU will get damaged (the card part that inserts into the PCIE slot). The Q slim mechanism has damaged 3 GPUs of mine after slotting the GPUs in 1-2 times. Asus has ignored any request of mine to replace my motherboard with the new revision. That's right, so many GPUs have been damaged that ASUS has officially announced that they are revising the Q slim design. An ASUS design flaw has made an otherwise perfect motherboard a disaster and now I fear to remove my GPU for fear that more damage will be caused.

Motheraboard is hefty with the metal backplates but also helps dissipates heat. I paired board with 9800X3D and once post tested I updated BIOS. The board had the very first BIOS of 303. The board is an overkill for me, but with AM5 having support until 2027 decided to spend the extra money on a better board. Had a scare with q-codes since the numbers fluctuated between 29-32, which did not make sense when looking up the codes. After some research q-code was showing the CPU temps that I fix to show q-code only in BIOS. My only complaint is the PCIE 8 power below the 24 pin power has a bright red light that stays on when PCIE is not used. The purpose of the PCIE 8 power is for faster charging through nearby C port. Bad design to have a bright red stay on for an optional plug.

I switched from an x670e Carbon to this. The Hero booted right up with no issues. Quality feels great. Nice to have a backplate, most motherboards do not. I like how this has a SlimSAS port! Will be hooking up my p5800x to this. Pcie spacing is great for large GPU

Upgraded from a b650e-f and the diference is amazing. Super fast and very easy to setup and adjust / tune bios. If you are thinking about it just buy it

ROG Crosshair X870E Hero continues the “Hero” tradition: it’s a no-compromise AM5 flagship that marries stout power delivery with every modern convenience AMD’s brand-new X870E platform can muster. At roughly US $699, it isn’t cheap, but if you’re outfitting a Ryzen 9 9950X3D (or any other Zen 5/Zen 4 chip) and want a motherboard that just gets out of the way, this is a formidable option.

Great Motherboard really stable temps, super heavy body, fully capable of anything you could imagine you can even have a bunch of m.2 without sharing lanes if you do your research . . If you could buy this mobo for 500 bucks i think this might be one of the best mobos i've ever tried. cons big price tag.

Fantastic motherboard. I am able to use my ddr5 8000 mhz ram runs superfast with AMD 7950 x3d processor

Very good mother board, her performance is exceptional.

My whole reason for buying any Asus product through Best buy is so I don't have to ever deal with Asus warranty return ever again. It was probably the worst warranty process I have experienced. That being said, Best buy does not inform the customer upon purchase that Asus products are not including in the "My Best buy total" coverage. I recently discovered this while picking up an Asus astral 5090 graphics card that costs over $3000.00. That discovery prompted me to return the graphics card the next day. There is no option to purchase an extended warranty either like you can on Amazon. This makes it a very risky purchase given the questionable warranty process of Asus and Best buy not being transparent in "My Best buy total" coverage. If Best buy wont back the product they sell I simply wont buy it.

This mobo is as good as I expected. It has 5 NVMe slots. Connecting everything was straightforward. And it keeps my NVMes in a good temperature range during heavy use.

Exactly what you would expect if you're a longterm ROG fan. Running a 9800x3d with 64GB Corsair ram downclocked to 6k for ratio reasons. Plenty of ports, features, and built-in heat dissipation within expectation.

There are many benchmarks showing that this motherboard brings almost nothing, if not minimal, improvements from ROG Strix X870E-E, which is $200 cheaper. I checked all those benchmarks to decide this is not really a reasonable purchase for me and went ahead to return it. I ended up purchasing ROG Strix X870E-E for my new 9800x3D.

Good looking motherboard. Nice features. Great for overclocking. Expensive.
