Asus ROG CROSSHAIR X670E GENE

Compact micro-ATX motherboard with great overclocking capabilities. The model belongs to the upper price segment and is part of the ROG CROSSHAIR line, created for hardcore gamers and overclocking enthusiasts. The board is based on the X670E overclocker chipset and is equipped with an AM5 socket designed to work with Ryzen 7000 processors (Raphael family) based on the advanced Zen 4 microarchitecture.

Unlike previous generation AM4 motherboards and Zen architecture, this device communicates via the PCI bus -E 5.0 and is tailored to work with high-speed DDR5 RAM, which only entered the mass market in 2022. The elite 18-phase power subsystem with a massive cooling system confidently copes with multi-core processors such as Ryzen 9 from the Raphael family. It is also suitable for overclocking thanks to a variety of various controls and contacts for measuring voltages, including an oscilloscope in the package.

The firmware is also adapted for overclocking and supports the proprietary AI Suite, familiar from other 2022 Republic of Gamers boards. In particular, this is a dynamic switch between automatic and manual overclocking of the CPU, as well as a smart AI Cooling fan optimization system. In addition to the board, the package includes a ROG GEN-Z.2 adapter with a full cooling system for connecting additional M.2 memory modules and a ROG True Voltician USB oscilloscope for visualizing the incoming voltage.

Otherwise, the Asus ROG CROSSHAIR X670E GENE arsenal has everything you need to build a powerful gaming PC: 3 high-speed M.2 slots with cooling for high-speed NVMe SSDs, 4 slots for DDR5 6400 memory (maximum 64 GB), excellent SupremeFX sound system with a Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, a 2.5 Gbps network controller from Intel with traffic prioritization, several LED strip connectors, water cooling connectors and an armored video card slot. Additionally, the board is equipped with a wireless module with support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 networks, and a pair of USB-C ports on the rear panel support the image output function, so you can connect an external monitor to them.
