ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula Socket AM4 ATX AMD X570

The Crosshair VIII Formula ROG has partnered with EK Water Blocks to create an integrated VRM water-cooling solution that keeps the massive power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors under control. Keeping with the water-cooling theme the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula features on-board lighting that casts a “rainfall” design which pops against the board’s mirror finish and is accented by the ROG logo. With its incredible cooling performance and gamer-oriented features ROG Crosshair VIII Formula is the perfect foundation for your next high-performance gaming rig. CHILLING DESIGN Effective cooling is extremely important so the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula provides comprehensive cooling features that enable higher performance at lower temperatures. EXPERTLY TOOLED TOTALLY COOLED CROSSCHILL EK III CrossChill EK III lets you cool with air and water. The redesigned cooling channels provide wider copper delivering up to 29.3C-lower MOSFET temperatures on water and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK III easily fits existing setups so you can enjoy efficient quiet cooling with the minimum effort. Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. And all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. HEATSINKS Heatsinks are extremely important for motherboards as they absorb heat from critical areas to ensure components do not stagger due to overheating. With VRM PCH and M.2 heatsinks ROG Crosshair VIII Formula ensures efficient and stable operation even when pushed hard. BOOSTED PERFORMANCE ROG Crosshair VIII Formula comes equipped with an optimized power-design layout to handle the prodigious power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors without throttling. UNCOMPLICATED SYSTEM TUNING ROG gives you powerful tools that make optimizing your system fast and easy. For those who relish fine-grained control the UEFI BIOS has a wealth of advanced options organized into intuitive categories that provide the ability to tweak every aspect of your system. ACCURATE VOLTAGE MONITORING Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn’t ideal leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported to software. The Formula features a differential sensing circuit that simplifies overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately. PU-PERFORMANCE BOOST The TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is an intelligent onboard micro-controller that provides an array of system-tuning features including the ability to fine-tune voltages monitor system stats and adjust overclocking parameters. ALL-AROUND ENERGY EFFICIENCY With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you’ll enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers. FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS FOR AIR OR LIQUID Enjoy comprehensive control over fans water pumps and all-in-one (AIO) coolers via either Fan Expert 4 or our award-winning UEFI. Whether you’re cooling with air or water Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. PRECISE DIGITAL POWER CONTROL The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop switching frequency and power-efficiency settings allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for ultimate stability and performance. TURBO APP AMD’s processors feature per-core tuning and the ASUS Turbo app makes use of this feature by letting you assign applications to specific processor cores prioritizing computing power where it’s needed most. ULTRAFAST CONNECTION ROG Crosshair VIII Formula offers advanced connectivity to ensure seamless gaming experiences. With the latest ultrafast networking including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11x) and dual Ethernet with one 5G port ROG Crosshair VIII Formula removes all bottlenecks for online and LAN play minimizing lag and providing an overall smoother experience.
