ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E DARK HERO AMD X870E ATX Socket AM5 Motherboard

Supercharge your large language model (LLM) workflows with AI Cache Boost. Exclusive to ASUS AMD 800 and 600 series motherboards that use Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs, this BIOS setting optimises CPU cache and memory pathways to deliver up to 29% faster local LLM performance with high-speed memory tuning. AI OVERCLOCKING

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. AI NETWORKING II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimise network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7*.

*Features may vary by model. Dynamic OC Switcher

Dynamic OC Switcher maximises CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking. Server-Grade DRAM Enhancement

Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits can be driven far beyond the 9 GT/s mark on the ROG Crosshair X870 Dark Hero*.

*Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information. ROG Ultimate Power Solution
