ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme

Lastly, if money is no object, then you have the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme which is ASUS’s flagship motherboard for the X670E chipset. It’s stacked with features and a design that’s perfect for those wanting a premium-looking board with plenty of flashing lights, though can be turned off if it’s not for you. Most of the board is covered by heatsinks and mixed materials, and the whole right side of the EATX board is right-angled for the very best in cable management.

Expansion slot wise, it includes two x16 slots and a single x4 slot, of which both x16 slots are PCI-E 5.0 ready along with a total of 5 M.2 slots, with two onboard slots on the board itself, 2 on the ROG Gen-Z.2 riser module and a fifth on the bundled PCIe 5.0 M.2 card. Out of these 5 slots, a total of 4 of them are Gen 5 ready, with only one on the riser module being gen 4 compatible, but in all honesty, who’s going to be running that many gen 5 drives when they do finally drop anyway?

The power delivery is extreme, just like the board with teamed power stages which operate in a 20+2 configuration and are rated at 110A each along with the ASUS Procool II power connectors that feed the power to the top part of the board and to the CPU. To keep the phases under control, there’s an embedded heatpipe which angles from the top of the board towards the I/O with two large heatsinks that heat dissipate the heat away along with the steel backplate that’s bolted to the rear of the board to assist not only with temperatures but to strengthen the board as well.
