Questions about ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero

There are already two mATX B350 boards to order here at Digitec, one each from MSI and ASUS.

Yes. No problem at all.

Hello Maxukabam, Over here you find the QVL for this mainboard. In there you find all qualified RAM. Greets

Good day, Probably the BIOS version is not the latest one, But you can easily update the BIOS with the EZ Update Software from ASUS available on the ASUS homepage.

Hello Together I would like to apologise for making you wait so long for the boards. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it. There were delays on the part of the manufacturer with the delivery to Switzerland. Some of the goods arrived today. According to current information, more should arrive in the middle of next week. We are trying to find the mainboards for you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This mainboard supports DDR4-3200 (but not DDR4-3600). According to https://www.asus.com/ch-de/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/specifications/: "4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz ECC and non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory *" I use this with Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288) and works fine for me at 3200 MHz. Is it still worth buying this mainboard? - From my point of view, this depends mainly on which CPU you want to buy. For a new PC, I would buy the 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs. However, according to the previous link, only 1st and 2nd generation is supported. I would therefore no longer buy this mainboard for a new PC. - For a high-end mainboard, I currently find mainboards with X570 chipset more interesting (e.g. because of PCI4). - If it is for a replacmenet in an existing PC (e.g. with Ryzen 1st gen), this can be interesting.

Ryzen 5 2400g is according to specs AMD Ryzen™ 5 2400G with Radeon™ RX Vega 11 Graphics (iGPU) https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-2400g Monitor: from setting 2560x1440 not supported, see https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-vega-11.c3054 If all components (mainboard, processor and RAMs) are compatible with each other, you can connect the monitor to the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C port, you may need a USB Type C HDMI or DP adapter or hub. For adapters, see under: Notebooks + Tablets Notebook Accessories Data + Video Adapter

Yes, on the product page you can see where it lights up: https://www.asus.com/ch-de/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/

Why don't you buy an AMD Ryzen 2700X instead? It costs 39 CHF more, but it has better performance and comes with a fan.

You can save a lot of money! So: do you really need a Blu-ray drive? You don't need any extra thermal paste. 600 is already enough for the power supply. For example, the Be quiet! Pure Power 10. Ryzen doesn't need a lot of cooling power, so a Be quiet! Pure is sufficient. I would recommend a Ryzen 1700 even without X, because there is not much difference between the 1700 and the 1800 except for the clock speed. That's why it's better to get a Ryzen 1700 and, for example, an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard.

Ja, man kann :) siehe https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/overview/

The mainboard is overkill! The Corsair fan will not work because the case has the SP installed and the LL are other models that are controlled differently and require a different controller. The monitor only has 75Hz, better buy one with 144Hz: ASUS VG248QE (24", 1920x1080) The keyboard only glows blue, if RGB is important to you I would advise another keyboard, for example: Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L RGB (USB, CH, cable, MX-Red) If you want to drive uniformly take the motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X370-F GAMING (AM4, AMD X370, ATX) If you really want a water cooling system, you can also go for the normal Masterliquid and buy 3 additional SP fans (one for the back, two for the radiator). You can then control all the SP fans synchronously with the controller that comes with the Corsair 570X. For the graphics card, I would go for this model because of availability (it's also Asus): ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX A8G-GAMING (8GB, High End)

Hi, there may be an adapter cable / splitter with which you can combine the two 4-pins into one 8-pin. Just search for it. Greetings

Hello, I think your list is generally quite good. However, I would like to make a few improvements. I think the cooling is okay, of course you can sell a better cooling system. But this will cost more. I think a DVD drive is unnecessary, buy an m.2 ssd (960 EVO, for example) instead. I would also have recommended a different case. I think the NZXT Source 340 Elite is great.

there are 3 buttons at the bottom left, one of which should be for the bios reset. try this. you can look up the error code in the manual.

Link forgotten sorry; G.Skill Trident Z (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288)

Update: Alright guys, we finally got the bios which prevents the bricking from happening. I still recommend playing it safe on the CPU SOC Voltage, something like 1.15V should be good on this and work for any DRAM frequency. Remember to go defaults or lower on the CPU SOC Voltage before flashing (or use USB BIOS Flashback). C6H 0902 Thanks for all the feedback guys, please help spread the word!

You only need the 4 pin for extreme overclocking. The 8 pin is perfectly sufficient if you want to overclock (should be sufficient up to 4 GHz).

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy it somewhere else?

You will have to be a little patient. ASUS has communicated "early August". I expect it to be at the end of August. Since you asked about the VI HERO, I'd like to make this comment: The HERO is an excellent board - take a close look at it :)

Digitec tied up the package this afternoon & handed it over to the post office. According to the post office, it will arrive tomorrow. Now that's joy! Many thanks
