AMD Ryzen ROG AM4 Crosshair VI Hero Preview

Nice Video Tom and good to actually show that it has support for AM3 coolers for the people who are looking at buying this board.
 
nice will be getting 1 of these, the itch to upgrade is real.

got the email notification saw Ryzen and thought you had a review my joy was real for a few seconds, But Asus motherboard is still as exciting the time is getting close
 
This supporting am3 compatible coolers is a genius masterstroke! I cannot praise this enough, well done asus on that!
 
Yeah that is awesome. Proper awesome. Nice video Tom ! very in depth and thorough as usual mate.

This board is teh secks. I know they may do a higher end version but for right now I would guess this will lead the pack, even though the Asrock Taichi is rumoured to have 16 phases.
 
So 2 full length pcie slots from the cpu and another one from the chipset... now I'm curious whether you could run three way cf on that config...

Yes you could, though you would want your head examined.

There are no "rules" on Crossfire. It will literally work in any board physically able to carry it and deliver at least X4 to each GPU.

Nvidia however? X8 or the drivers block. So you are limited to Sli on this board, not that it matters any way (see also head examination).

No you cant

I think it would be because you'd prettymuch swamp the pci-e bandwidth between the cpu and chipset trying to communicate to the other cards, most likely resulting in a lockup.

I guess it depends on the lanes tbh. I think it is high time AMD cancelled anything over two cards like Nvidia any way. You know? do the right thing and don't let your users get ripped off.

Hopefully they will make it official.
 
I just noticed the single USB internal header. I guess I need to add an expansion hub. Does anyone make a bigger one other than the NZXT with only 3 ports?
 
one thing I like about this board is the amount of usb connections on the IO compared to the other boards I've looked at so far that have a nearly empty wasted space IO
 
What is confusing to me is there is no QVL for ram on this motherboard on the Asus site atm and it says it will support up to 3200OC? so people who have pre-ordered this board how will they know if their ram is going to run at that speed or be compatible. I remember both my AM3+ Sabertooth boards being very picky about ram
