Part number90MB1NT0-M0EAY0
The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is a high-end AM5 platform motherboard designed for gamers, overclockers, and PC enthusiasts building performance-oriented systems. Based on the AMD X870E chipset, it supports the latest Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series desktop CPUs with a premium power delivery system — featuring 20+2+2 teamed power stages that deliver stable energy for heavy multithreaded workloads and overclocking.
Memory performance is pushed further with DDR5 support up to 9600+ MT/s (OC) and ASUS technologies like NitroPath DRAM enhancements and AEMP profiles for more reliable high-speed configurations. The board provides two PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlots for next-gen GPUs and five M.2 storage slots (two PCIe 5.0 and additional PCIe 4.0/4.0 lanes) with thermal solutions to keep SSDs cool under load.
Connectivity is comprehensive, including USB 4® Type-C, multiple high-speed USB ports, and advanced networking — with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 10 Gb and 5 Gb Ethernet, and ASUS’s suite of AI tools for performance tuning, cooling optimisation, and network traffic prioritisation. Polymo Lighting II provides subtle RGB lighting accents, and robust audio completes the immersive PC experience.
