Asus ROG has debuted the AM4 based Crosshair VI Extreme motherboard. If you want to build the kitchen sink of features for your Ryzen machine you must take a look at this motherboard.
the board sports the X370 chipset, this AM4 socket motherboard supports AMD’s Ryzen and 7th Generation A-series processors, DDR4 support up to 3,200MHz, dual PCI-E 3.0 x16 reinforced SafeSlots, one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, three PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and 7.1 Channel HD audio. Additional features include 8 SATA 6Gb/s ports, dual M.2 sockets (type M), LED color-coded audio jacks and a built-in I/O shield.
But that is not it! There are a total of thirteen fan headers on the Crosshair VI Extreme, as well as a dedicated header for monoblocks and one is specifically designed to accommodate a high amp fan or water pump! Plus there is a separate set of connectors for tracking liquid temperatures and flow. One header is dedicated to monoblocks.
There even more. This board sports a dedicated base-clock generator designed specifically for Ryzen processors. Called “Pro Clock Technology,” this clock works in tandem with the motherboard’s TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control.
And of course there is RGB lighting. The RGB on this board is capable of displaying a range effects such as breathing, strobing, pulsing, music effect, rainbow, and more through the included Aura Lighting Control software. The RGB lighting can even be set to change color to reflect CPU temperature and load. The Crosshair VI Extreme also includes a dedicated addressable RGB header that connects to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and PC cases. On the backside, you’ll find a large metal backplate that, in addition to protecting the board from bending, also serves as a cover for the built-in RGB LEDs on the back of the motherboard.
ROG Crosshair VI Extreme will be available in early August with a $349.99 MSRP.
