Verdict

The Asus ROG X370 Crosshair VI Extreme is a flagship Extended-ATX (EATX) motherboard designed for AMD AM4-socket Ryzen processors, featuring the X370 chipset and support for up to 64GB of DDR4 memory at overclocked speeds of 3200MHz. It distinguishes itself with extreme overclocking and cooling features, including a 12-phase digital power system, dedicated water-cooling zones with flow and temperature headers, and a unique addressable RGB LED header alongside extensive Aura Sync lighting. Key pros include its dual PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots (one with an integrated PCH heatsink), built-in 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO, high-end SupremeFX S1220 audio with an ESS Sabre DAC, and pre-mounted I/O shield for easier installation. However, it is noted for its high premium price compared to other X370 boards and its large EATX form factor, which may limit case compatibility.
