Asus AI Intelligence
- AI Networking II - AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7.
- AI Overclocking - Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.
- AI Cooling II - Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.
Overclocking- Dynamic OC Switcher - Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.
- Core Flex - Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways.
- Asynchronous Clock - For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed.
- PBO Enhancement - AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance.
Memory- DDR5 Domination - Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero.
- NitroPath DRAM Technology - Frequency up to 400 MT/s higher. Slot retention force enhanced by 57%
- AEMP - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.
Thermal Management
An extensive array of headers line the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero for precise cooling control and monitoring.- Multiple temperature sources - Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
- 4-pin fan headers - In addition to the pair of CPU fan headers, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features four chassis headers, and each supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
- AIO pump header - An additional PWM/DC fan header offers dedicated control of self-contained water-cooling setups.
Cooler Compatibility
ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new X870E / X870 motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.
Five onboard M.2 Slots
The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features five onboard M.2 slots, three of which are PCIe 5.0-ready to offer blistering 16 GB/s speeds, while the others offer still-impressive 8 GB/s over PCIe 4.0 interfaces. It also features a SlimSAS connector, which supports PCIe 4.0 x4 mode via a transfer cable. The cable is purchased separately.
Expansion Slots
Both of the x16 expansion slots have the PCIe 5.0 treatment to offer incredible speeds up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets, and the top slot can be released easily thanks to the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.
WiFi 7
Next-gen WiFi 7 chipset introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM, delivering up to 2.4X ultra-fast WiFi speeds. The revolutionary Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT.
Asus WiFi Q-Antenna
Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
