According to our motherboard expert
Note: this motherboard only works with 2nd, 3rd, and 5th generation AMD Ryzen processors with an AM4 socket.
As a hardcore gamer, use the Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO as your motherboard in your PC. Place a 2nd, 3rd, or 5th generation AMD Ryzen processor on the motherboard and play the most demanding games at the highest settings. This motherboard has a separate water cooler zone, which keeps your system well-cooled even in heated games. The built-in WiFi 6 functionality provides a connection that's almost 3 times faster than WiFi 5, so you can also maintain a good connection without cables. Want to tinker with your motherboard? No problem, the design is made for self-builders to build the best personal settings. You can easily add an extra RAM module in 1 of the 4 slots and place 2 M.2 SSDs for fast data transfer. The motherboard matches the rest of your components, thanks to the built-in RGB LED accents. You can set the lighting of your components to your liking completely via the Aura Sync app.

Excellent board with extremely many connectivity options and OC features in the bios. Beautiful black finished design fits into any build. Only the ASUS software (the 'crate') is a disaster and every self-respecting builder should walk around it with a big bow.

Sturdy motherboard. Looks nice. And very complete. Space for many connections. You can also overclock with it and other crazy things that I won't be using myself. You can set up a second bios there. A tool where you can store all kinds of passwords etc can be connected to it. I would say: read the specifications and manual found on the Asus website.
