Asus Crosshair X670E Extreme

I ordered ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-PLUS WIFI on Jan 10, 2023. After more than 7 months of using this motherboard with AMD Ryzen AM5 CPUs with air-cooling, I am satisfied with the persistent stability and availability of this motherboard. ASUS also updates the BIOS frequently so I can try new features like more compatibility with newer density memory modules. Overall, I would recommend this motherboard for buyers who plan to build AMD Ryan 7000 systems.

The Asus X670E TUF Gaming WiFi motherboard works well with 3 NVME and 2 SATA SSD drives and the set up for my new computer went well. The power regulation works well, and it has so many options for advanced settings and overclocking. The BIOS Flashback works well too. The AI Overclocking features seem to work well too.

My MB is a Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-FI) X570 (AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT) with dual PCIE 4.0 x4 slots populated with these bad boys. I use them as my gaming drives to get optimum load times. When I recently built this rig in late September, I used WD Blues to do the same thing. The loading times were easily a third to half what they had been Destiny loads, both before Beyond Light and after were awesome. Well worth the cost!

It is very expensive case but when you build your PC you will fall in love. Also if you have ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme AM4 E-ATX Gaming Motherboard you need to purchase raiser cable otherwise you can not use PCIEX16_1 port for graphic card installation. I think it is only compatible with STRIX MB's.

Half the cores but higher score! Need I say more? 5950x on Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero MB, 64 GB b-die RAM at 3600, 14-14-14-28. No games - just an image-crunching beast.

Can't go wrong with ASUS TUF motherboards. If you want bells and whistles go with Crosshair. If you want bulletproof, go thith TUF. I've had them get old and need replacement because technology has moved on, but never had one go out on me.

The ROG STRIX X670E-F works as advertised.+++++++++++

I have been waiting for the new Asus 4080 laptops for a while now. I keep checking where they have in stock daily and finally on 03/08 I hit the jackpot and ordered right away on B&H when it became available. Next thing I knew I am one of the few who are able to get my hands on the brand new Asus Strix Scar 16 2023. This little bad boy is a beast, the RGB is amazing as usual; better than razor blade ofc. The new cooling design is phenomenal, the cooling is significantly improved. As usual when I get my hands on the new laptop I take it apart and replace the stock liquid paste to carbon paste for extreme cooling performance. I ran Mextro Exodus on Extreme at 75 Degrees F on CPU AND 65 Degrees F on GPU. I ran COD on high with CPU 80 Degrees F and GPU 65 Degrees F. Amazing performance with the new RTX 4080 card combining the 32GB DDR5 with the new Intel i9 chip. This bad boy runs every game I have on hand on extreme or ultra setting with ease. The refresh rate on the laptop screen itself is amazing at 240hz but I still use my 30inch curved 2k 200hz monitor. Let's all be honest, you will never need to run a game at 140 FPS. I can get a stable 160 FPS with extreme or ultra settings with DLSS on. This is the upgrade I have been waiting for since my Asus 2080ti laptop, not some 3080 with no improvement.

I spent almost 4 weeks researching several+ different models of routers. I wanted something that would replace my dependable but aging AirPort Extreme. It needed to be easy to deploy, provide dependable wifi signal range throughout my modest size house, stout enough for tv streaming, secure for my daily home office activities, and intuitive for any troubleshooting or expanding I may encounter - attributes similar to my AirPort Extreme. Product reviews for both the product & its manufacturer needed to be consistently good across the board. The ASUS RT-AX82U ticked all the boxes. I am delighted with my decision as install & setup went without any issues. All of my devices auto-connected & I was good to go within 15+ minutes. The only thing left to confirm is this router’s longevity. Time will tell. Btw, I was impressed with the ASUS RT-AX82U’s packaging. It was clear to me ASUS is proud of its product by showcasing it in visually outstanding as well as robust packaging. That said, I am confident I made the right decision. Several hours later as my day winds down, wifi signal is strong through out my house. My iPad signal indicator remains @ full strength no matter where I am in my house. Ookla’s Speedtest app shows a nice bounce in my broadband speed as well. I am certainly not a tech expert. But I know enough to do basic tech stuff. Even my neighbor was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly & efficiently I got things up & running. Thanks ASUS for a good experience!

I replaced my old AirPort Extreme at first with an ASUS CT8 but did not get the performance I thought I should get so I sent it back and purchased the ET 8 and what a difference. Great performance everywhere in the house. I think it is because of the dedicated 6 GHz backhaul because I did nothing special in the settings.
