The Crosshair VIII boards are massive levels of overkill. Don't get me wrong they're good boards, just bad value and this is coming from a Crosshair VIII owner. They do have some niche features like the liquid cooling sensor headers that you may want, but if you just want a board that works well with Ryzen 5000, get a B550 board.

March 5, 2024 - When I received email from Asus support, they told me not to upgrade and stay with 4006 and I can tell you this, they said that not because they care, but to keep you quiet and hopeful, they told me 4-5 months ago they working on Bios to fix some of the issues, but to date nothing and you know why? because there is physical issue with ton of those Hero VIII Dark boards. I was also long time Asus user, that all ended after this run around and getting nowhere. ... New BIOS out now. ...

r/buildapc on Reddit: AMD motherboard options, Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero or MSI X570S Carbon - OPEN to suggestions for something else :)
October 30, 2021 -
Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing well.
I am looking to build yet another PC and I will be going with AMD (finally). I've been using Intel for my past few builds but Intel just doesn't seem like the best bang for the buck anymore.
Anyway, I would like to get some opinions on current high-end(ish) motherboards.
Currently I'm between:
Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-crosshair-viii-hero-socket-am4-usb-c-gen2-amd-motherboard-with-led-lighting/6356982.p?skuId=6356982
and the...
MSI X570S Carbon MAX Wifi: https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-x570s-carbon-max-wifi/p/N82E16813144493?Description=MSI%20X570S%20Carbon%20MAX%20Wifi&cm_re=MSI_X570S%20Carbon%20MAX%20Wifi-_-13-144-493-_-Product&quicklink=true
BUT, I would absolutely consider any suggestions that you may have in mind. I will admit I am a bit of an ASUS fanboy and have been using their motherboards for about a decade now. They have never given me a problem and have always been reliable (knock on wood). I am also one to "future proof" my purchases so I would consider a motherboard that is a bit on the pricier side if it has bells and whistles that could be suitable for years to come. (Well, at least 2 years lol).
It would probably help in suggesting a suitable mobo if you knew what components I'd be running along with it. Bear with me for I am still undecided on certain things. To get an idea, however: AMD 5800X, 32gb Corsair Vengence PRO RBG C16 RAM(It's B-die so it will work very well with my processor/mobo), either a Samsung 980 or 970 Pro NVMe PCI-E 4.0/3.0 drive, & a Corsair H150i cpu cooler
Guys, I know this is a lot to read so I really appreciate you taking the time to look this over and/or comment. This is also my second reddit post so I also appreciate your patience.
Thank you and enjoy the weekend!

Question - Anyone have ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero wifi motherboard here? | Tom's Hardware Forum
September 6, 2020 - I have Cleared the CMOS ( I am not sure if resetting the CMOS puts the BIOS back to a default state ) I have reset the BIOS and reinstalled the latest from ASUS ( 2206) I am not a PC tech type guy so I have been relying on help from forums and tech support with various issues to this point but I am not convinced that the techs helping me with this problem are familiar with their own products or just following a flow chart diagnoses which is not helping. Any thoughts on where to go next? I will be requesting a change of NVMe card on Monday and failing that a full refund on the board Tuesday!! Cheers Kev ... I do have ASUS crosshair viii hero with 3950x, but only "normal" SSDs and no NVMe.

r/Amd on Reddit: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570 worth the premium over Aorus Master?
January 7, 2021 -
I was one of the lucky ones who got my 5900X shortly after launch. But now I am in waiting limbo for
a lot of parts for my build, and I am starting to reconsider my choice of MB
I have ordered a X570 Gigabyte Aorus Master, but have now started looking at the dynamic OC switching on the Dark Hero and thinking if I should go for this instead. (The Aorus is 510 USD and the Dark Hero is 675 USD here in Norway)
But I can not figure out if the DOS will have any impact on gaming. Are there any games that will benefit greater from an all core OC over a higher boost on a few cores?
If this would only be beneficial for productivity tasks, I will say "Nice to have, but not worth it" since I am also loosing a M.2 slot compared to the Aorus.
Originally posted this in r/AMDHelp, but it is not really a troubleshooting question.
Thnx in advance

Not really worth it imo. If you compare the results of Gamer's Nexus tests where they list both a completely stock (no PBO) and a static 4.7 (or 4.6, can't remember) overclock, the stock results seem to outperform the static oc in most, if not all, gaming benchmarks. So I would not go through the hassle of returning the board, ordering a new one and messing with your setup.

I got one before the slight price increase. Why you ask? Welp, my wife is ready to have a baby. I've built and upgraded computers for years but never from current gen hardware. Always a gen or two behind to save money. So with my finances surely to be wrapped up with a child soon, I decided to for once go all out and got a 5900x and a Dark Hero. Did I need it? No. Does it look sexy as hell? Yes. Sure I could have gotten a B550 or Tomahawk X570, but I treated myself and decided to flex. All of that to say, it's your money and your personal choice. It's a great motherboard. But there are other great motherboards for cheaper. I'd save the money unless you just look at the Dark Hero and it turns you on.
