Asus ROG Crosshair 4 Hero

Overview

AM4 is a great platform, and motherboards keep up with this performance. Asus Crosshair VI Hero is an extreme overclocking solution that can also fit in gaming rigs. Its performance is very good, stability and versatility are also on par with its attractive look, but the most appealing part is the decent price.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard shows good performance that allows a Ryzen 7 CPU to flex its muscle. Overclocking performance was also solid, with the board managing to take our 1800X to 4.05GHz at a sensible 1.4V (once ASUS' annoying LLC...

The Ryzen launch has been a bit of a mixed bag. The platform and processors have the potential to offer great value for money. It performs great, fantastic even in any application. Yet we cannot look away from the fact that game performance in the...

The ASUS Crosshair VI Hero has a lot going for it in terms of specifications and features. It looks like the perfect AM4 motherboard at $253, which is pretty stacked for the price. If you are going to run a stock clocked machine, and take advantage of...

Crosshair VI Hero is one of the high-end boards for the AM4 platform we have very much enjoyed thanks to the multitude of available interfaces, good quality components, beefy VRM but also a fully-featured and easy to use UEFI interface. This board does...

PriceThe ASUS RoG Crosshair VI Hero X370 Motherboard doesn't come cheap, with a current retail price of £228, although it did launch with an MSRP of £250. That's a good price point for a high-end X370 motherboard, and as much as I love the MSI XPower...

So here it is, the newest in a long line of ASUS motherboards to carry the Crosshair name and I can say it's a well deserved title. The board is packed with all the features you would expect from the ROG series and lends itself readily to the gaming and...
