The new ASUS motherboards for the AMD Ryzen 7000 are armed to the teeth with connectivity and power

Today a Webinar has taken place by AMD in which we have been able to see both general platform information and specific information about some motherboard modelsamong which we find several ASUS models, as we will see below.

As we mentioned in the other news, AMD has only shown information about X670 and X670Eso the lower models are not present, and will probably be presented at a later date than the launch of these models.

ASUS has shown two models of the Crosshair range, these being the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme and Crosshair X670E Hero, being thus two models with chipset from the Extreme range, without a single model with a standard chipset making an appearance. Both models are very similar. ASUS having grouped the features present in the two.

Both models have what ASUS calls a friendly design for the DIY segmentWell, for starters, the M.2 drives. They are placed with an installation pin without tools, while the graphics card will have a button in an accessible area for its unpinning and removal. Also making an appearance is the Q-Connector, which makes it easy to install front panel cables.

Q-Code and Q-LED have similar missions, and it is that they will tell us at a glance what is the problem that our equipment has if by some chance it is not able to turn on and give an image, at the same time that the aforementioned characteristics facilitate the disassembly of components.

The sound of this board is not of poor quality, far from it, and to begin with, we find a Realtek ALC 4082 codec connected via USB and provides audio resolutions up to 384KHzall through a ESS ES9218 DAC that will allow us to make use of high resistance headphones for an unparalleled experience.

Obviously, the rest of the sound circuitry is up to the task, meeting with High-quality capacitors and anti-popping circuitry to avoid any issues related to the sound specifications of these motherboards.

We had already mentioned this above in the platform specifications, but on the back of these motherboards, as well as on their surface, we find state-of-the-art connectivity consisting of Wi-Fi 6E along with 2.5Gb Ethernet and 10Gb Ethernet.

This gives us all the possibilities we need in terms of network, but we will also enjoy two USB 4.0 ports, and even USB Type C Gen 2×2 front ports with fast charging assisted by a 6-pin PCI Express connector.

Last but not least, the processor power supply, which does vary between the two motherboard models. In both cases we have 110 amp power stagesbut although in the Crosshair Extreme we have a whopping 20+2 phases, in the Crosshair Hero model we have “only” with 18+2 power phases.

The control circuitry, original Infineon ASP2205is the same for both motherboards, so the quality will still be there, just like the power phases are Vishay SIC850 in both cases. ASUS mentions capacitors in the power section, capable of operating at up to 125 degrees, while the chokes support up to 45 amps each.

Power is provided through two server-grade ProCool II connectors, so it should be basically impossible to have scares related to loose connectors that can cause fires in extreme load scenarios, as long as quality cables are used.
