AI OVERCLOCKING
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits.
AI COOLING II
Balance the thermal and acoustic of any build with a single click.
AI NETWORKING II
AI Networking II combines smart technologies for continuous optimization of network performance, providing reliable and seamless connectivity, and unleashing the full speed of WiFi 7.
DDR5 Power
For those who want to exceed the factory speeds of DDR5 memory, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero BTF is ready and prepared for enthusiast-level kits, thanks to its broad support for AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO). Experienced users can further optimize performance through the extensive range of settings in the UEFI.
DRAM Technology NitroPath
The DRAM NitroPath technology provides enhanced DDR5 memory performance. The shorter gold finger pins and optimized signal paths ensure faster data transfer between the DRAM and the CPU, allowing for greater margins and stability in memory overclocking.
These reinforced DRAM slots are also better prepared to withstand the wear and tear of the RAM installation process compared to traditional slot designs, making them ideal for enthusiasts who keep their system upgraded with the fastest available kits.
Heat Management
An extensive array of headers frames the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero BTF for precise control and monitoring of cooling.
- Multiple temperature sources: Each header can be configured to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. All settings can be easily managed via Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
- 4-pin Fan Headers: In addition to the pair of CPU fan headers, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero BTF features four chassis headers, each supporting automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.
- AIO Pump Header: An additional PWM/DC fan header provides dedicated control for All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooling systems.
Five Integrated M.2 Slots
The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero BTF features five integrated M.2 slots.
Three of them are ready for PCIe 5.0, offering explosive speeds of 16 GB/s.
The remaining slots provide an equally impressive speed of 8 GB/s through PCIe 4.0 interfaces.
Expansion SlotThe first x16 expansion slot features PCIe 5.0 technology, offering incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices, with full support for next-generation graphics cards.
To withstand the weight of bulky graphics cards, it is also protected with the SafeSlot retention bracket and can be easily released thanks to the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.
