Product Description
PERFORMANCE
Breakneck memory speed and bleeding-edge overclocking technologies are among a few of the many ways the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme succeeds where its rivals falter.
ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES
Take Ryzen beyond the already impressive sum of its parts. Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex create additional frequency waypoints for single and multi-threaded workloads, allowing Ryzen to break boundaries and achieve peak performance in all games and apps.
AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER
Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher lets you use them both, dynamically engaging PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature.
CORE FLEX
Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.
ASYNCHRONOUS CLOCK
For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed. Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.
OVERCLOCKER’S TOOLKIT
The ROG Overclocker’s Tooklit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.
ROG TRUE VOLTICIAN
For truly advanced performance optimization, the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme includes the ROG True Voltician, a miniature oscilloscope that connects to an onboard USB header and displays waveforms for the CPU Vcore, VCCIN, and System Agent rails. It can also be used to monitor a video card or power supply, and users can even run the True Voltician software on one PC while they get readings from another.
ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES
Take Ryzen beyond the already impressive sum of its parts. Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex create additional frequency waypoints for single and multi-threaded workloads, allowing Ryzen to break boundaries and achieve peak performance in all games and apps.
TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE
Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
MEMORY
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
DDR5 Strength
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.
COOLING
Massive heatsinks across its entire frame and around every M.2 drive ensure unassailable performance by keeping your system cool, quiet, and composed.
COOLER BY DESIGN
VRM and aluminum I/O heatsink
A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.
Chipset heatsink
A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from both chipsets to maintain optimum operating temperature.
High-conductivity thermal pads
A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink. For future maintenance, a replacement thermal pad can also be found in the package.
Solid steel backplate
A plate of electro-galvanized steel strengthens the spine of the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme to prevent bending
M.2 heatsink and backplate
A large aluminum heatsink gives extensive surface area to cool both of the onboard M.2 drives, and each has a dedicated backplate for additional heat dissipation.
HEADERS
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
An extensive array of headers line the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme for precise cooling control and monitoring.
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.
ROG WATER-COOLING ZONE
Dual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header feed information straight into Armoury Crate, allowing you to track coolant temperatures and the flow rate of the entire loop.
A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to a high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.
COOLER COMPATIBILITY
The ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme bears the same mounting hole alignment as AM4 platforms, so it is backward compatible with many existing coolers, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
ROG FAN CONTROLLER
The ROG Fan Controller offers an additional six headers that can be controlled via FanXpert 4. The card features two temperature-sensor headers, along with two thermistors that can be attached to various components. There are also six ARGB headers to illuminate ARGB fans.
