ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD Motherboard

AM4 X570S motherboard for Ryzen 5000

This ATX board uses the AMD X570S chipset and an AM4 socket. It has been tested and ships with an updated BIOS that supports Ryzen 5000 series processors. The package includes the board, I/O shield, original box and a Wi-Fi antenna when that version is supplied. Other accessories such as screws and cables are not guaranteed.

Bundled antenna and updated BIOS

The included Wi-Fi antenna enables the onboard Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2x2 module with 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax support, 1024QAM, OFDMA and MU-MIMO. The pre-applied BIOS update removes the need for a compatible older CPU to flash the board before installing a Ryzen 5000 chip. Missing screws or cables do not affect core functionality but must be sourced separately.

Simple drop-in install with one common gap

Installation follows standard ATX mounting; the board fits any case that accepts the form factor. The only frequent issue is the absence of mounting screws, SATA cables or additional headers that are not guaranteed in the box. Builders should verify they have those small parts before starting the build.
