Great motherboard
by SimonThis motherboard looks and feels well built and comes with many features which makes this the board to have. I think it's a nice board and it has all the features I would need but the price of motherboards nowadays is a joke. I remember when I purchased my Asus Rog Maximus XI Hero which is part of the same line as the Crosshair Hero and it only cost me £280 brand new. In 2023 I'm looking to pay more than double that for practically the same board I had 4 years ago. The only gripe I have about this specific board is the fact it does not come with the nice steel backplate that the Asus ROG Maximus z790 Hero board comes with, which is a shame considering I'm paying the same price; the only difference being it's an AMD board not Intel. The amount of choice available for the AM5 boards was practically none compared to the z790 line-up and the only other board that was worth considering was the x670E-E Gaming Wi-Fi which was only £100 cheaper and looked worse in terms of looks. I would have gone with Intel but the 13900k is just too hot compared to the 7800X3D.
