Push the limits

With two 4x PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA motherboard supports up to two NVMe SSDs to boost the performance of your gaming PC. With the ability to create a RAID configuration with two PCIe 4.0 storage devices, you get the fastest data transfer speeds on the 3rd generation AMD Ryzen platform.

Asus Aura Sync RGB Backlighting

The excellent performance of the ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA is enhanced by the presence of an RGB backlight on the motherboard and the presence of 4 RGB headers, one of which can be addressed. The possibilities offered by the Asus software allow you to customise your gaming setup. The two second generation addressable RGB connectors (with backwards compatibility) allow you to detect the number of addressable LEDs on the device and customise them individually.

Active chipset cooling

With the advent of 4th generation PCI-Express, which doubles the bandwidth compared to the previous generation, the chipset requires high performance active cooling to avoid throttling and allow sustained transfer starts. The fan design allows for efficient dissipation thanks to a large heat exchange surface and high static pressure.

5-Way Optimization

Take care of the most complex settings in your system with one click. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes key aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles specifically tailored to your PC.

  • An auto-tuning utility optimizes overclocking and cooling to perfectly match your system configuration.
  • Fans run in complete silence during your daily tasks with optimal airflow when your system is facing CPU or GPU intensive tasks.
  • An all-new stress test allows users to optimize and overclock the CPU or memory depending on the type of task.
Information provided by our tech department Motherboards based on AMD Sries 500 chipsets (e.g. X570) are not compatible with AMD Ryzen 1000 series, AMD Athlon 200 series and AMD Athlon A series processors. If in doubt, please refer to the chipset compatibility statements on the processors sold on the site.
