Finished Looks

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO features a neutral black aesthetic with silver accents on the chipset heatsinks. The neutral color tones will nicely match a wide range of builds. When powered on, the VRM heatsink connected to the Rear IO section has RGB lighting enabled by default. This is not an LED screen and will always display "HERO" or "ROG" depending on the settings used. By default, it will switch back and forth periodically.

Test System

Supporting Hardware

Testing is performed with the newest available version of the BIOS at the time of review. All BIOS settings related to the CPU are left untouched. EXPO is enabled for the memory. However, if the primary, secondary or tertiary memory timings are incorrectly set by the BIOS, it is tested as-is, to mimic a standard user. The same goes for the CPU. Unless it is a bug in the current BIOS—i.e., not present in other versions—any and all CPU boost parameters are left alone.

Note: Using BIOS 0805, DDR5-6000 automatically has the memory controller in a 2:1:1 Ratio. (Infinity Fabric-Memory-Memory Controller).
