ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero features an appropriately dark aesthetic, focusing more on a variety of textures and finishes rather than color. The result is striking and attractive, while also easily compatible with a wide variety of builds.
The RGB on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is very good, with great brightness and diffusion.
