There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There have been some issues with the RAM overclock I believe. The PC shuts down unexpectedly and I believe that RAM might indeed be the case here. I restored the settings to auto in order to check if that was the problem and now the system runs smoothly. Although, I believe that with 1.4v instead of the initial 1.35v that I had, the problem will be fixed. Unfortunately I don't have time to test it now but as soon as I do will update my review again. Also, when I tried to overclock my RAM above its advertised speed the PC wouldn't post and the settings were reverted without any problems.
General thoughts:
I installed this board today with a Ryzen 7 2700x processor and a 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3466MHz kit (CMR16GX4M2C3466C16). My PC booted from the start with no issues whatsoever. First thing I did was update the BIOS to latest firmware using ASUS EZ flash 3 (easy as pie). The process in general went through without any problems. The board looks fantastic and the provided software works like a charm.
RAM:
After updating the BIOS, I used the DOCP feature to overclock my ram kit to its advertised 3466MHz speed. I have never fiddled with RAM speed before but it was very simple to do so. The BIOS also comes preloaded with memory profiles for Samsung B-Die RAM kits with speeds up to 3600MHz that you can use. The PC posted with no issues and my RAM was running at 3466MHz which provided a very nice boost to benchmarks and framerates.
Issues:
The only issues I had were regarding third party control software. These were Corsair Link and Speedfan. Corsair Link couldn't let me customize the RAM leds but otherwise it worked as intended. Speedfan couldn't recognize the motherboard PWM ports so I couldn't use it to set fan speeds.
Workaround for issues:
I believe though that it's not the boards fault. Most probably the software were not update for the X470 platform. Instead, I used the AURA sync software to control all the RGB components of my system. It was pretty easy to figure out and does it's job pretty well. Regarding fan control, the Fan Xpert 4 software from the AI Suite 3 worked wonders. I used it to automatically tune the fans based on their individual RPM. After that there's no need to further adjust the fans but if you want, each PWM fan port provides an RPM chart that can be adjusted from the software. The software also created four profiles for all the fan speeds: Silent, Standard, Turbo, Full Speed. These can be easily cycled through the software.
Conclusion:
Admittedly, this is just the first day of use of the new system but I felt the need to post this review because this board is in my opinion the top X470 that you can buy right now and with fore coming BIOS update it can only get better (I hope :p ).
Everything is working perfectly, running Arch Linux. Getting the memory timings applied from the XMP profiles was not intuitive at all, I had to poke around in the BIOS a long time to figure out how to do it. However, once that was done everything has been smooth.
Have not played with overclocking or other fine tuning tweaks for now, will save that for another time.
CPU runs under 40C at idle and moderate loads. CPU fan controls are very nice, the RGB controller is there and works (can't configure it much on Linux). WiFi worked out of the box. The M.2 SSD heatsink is a nice touch, and mated up with the ADATA NVMe SSD perfectly (it came with its own heatsink as well, which I didn't use). Built-in I/O panel worked great, this motherboard has a lot of really slick features (BIOS recover switch, BIOS code LED display), lots of USB ports (including USB Type C), and two M.2 slots (the 2nd only supports PCIe, and uses up some of the PCIe lanes, which really won't affect much, even if you run a crossfire GPU config...8 lanes of PCIe 3.1 is an insane amount of bandwidth). Audio quality is excellent, and also worked out-of-the-box on Linux.
The one drawback (for some) is no built-in HDMI/DP, meaning no support for on-board graphics for APUs (G-series chips). Not an issue for me, just something to be aware of.
The big differentiator between this and lower-end boards is the quality of the VRMs, including the multi-phasing aspects, more sophisticated BIOS (the GUI is pretty nice), and overall build quality.
Everything just "works" for Linux. It's great to be able to run cutting edge hardware on Linux without a bunch of hacking (this was not the case even 5 years ago...).
Performing pretty darn similar to the best X570 board around, the $650 MSI Godlike, the Crosshair VIII is a clear winner for a majority of consumers, especially when coupled with a 3900X or 3950X with a 1080 TI or 2080 TI GPU! Gamers may be wondering, "But... intel is better for gaming... right?". At 1080p, you will get 10FPS - 15FPS more with an Intel chipset, but the differences are small as you get to 1440p (5 - 10FPS) and 4K (<5FPS) or when you go for 144hz monitors. Faster refresh rates and higher resolutions = less differences in FPS. When you keep in mind just how POWERFUL the Ryzen series is for virtually everything, you'll want to go for X570. Keep in mind you are getting this board to witness the power of Ryzen, and this is especially amazing now that the 3950X Is out, which any review will tell you to start drooling over.
This board brings out the best, most juicy, xxx-rated don't-let-your-grandmother-see-this aspects of the super hot (actually, quite low in temperature) Ryzen series.
Plopped this bad boi with my 2080 TI, 3950X, 2TB Aurous 5000MB/s M.2 Drive, 2TB Seagate HDD, and Raijintek Water-Cooling system in a Paean case. I will post more pictures of my build later.

Has lot of usb ports 2.0 and 3.0
Looks amazing too!
Anyone looking to purchase this for the AMD zen 3 processors should know that the BIOS must be updated prior to use but luckily it can be flashed a USB key. No need to have previous AMD processor.

ASUSのマザーは、10年前に組んだ時も使っていたのですが、10年ぶりにまた使ってみました。
必要十分な機能が搭載されていて、不満になることはないでしょう。オーディオも7.1chまで対応
していますし、Wifi6も使えます。X570マザーとしては、最高レベルだと思います。
組んでみての気になった点は、USB3.1gen1のコネクタの刺さりがきつかったというのと、
SATAのコネクタがグラフィックカードの影に隠れるので、先に配線しておかないといけないという
ことくらいです。(ケースの構造次第ではありますが。)
少し気になったのは、CPU電源の位置が左上なので、CPUの横を電源ケーブルが通過し、そこの上に
ケースファンがあるため、通気性にちょっと影響がありそうです。
基板は、ケースの設置ねじ位置とのずれもなく、簡単に取り付けることができました。
