About the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E GENE Motherboard
Teamed Power Architecture
Today’s CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilising teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
DDR5 Strength
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E GENE is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
Cooling
Meeting Ryzen thermal demands head-on, the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E GENE wields hefty VRM, chipset, and M.2 heatsinks to keep everything running at top performance. To aid in airflow, the Gene boasts copious fan header support-a blessing for building in tight spaces. Once the rig is assembled, ROG tools make it easy to monitor and control fan speeds, and with the improved AI Cooling II utility, balancing system acoustics is better than ever.
High-conductivity Thermal Pads
A high-quality thermal pad improves overall heat transfer from the system by bridging the heat generated by the power stages to the heatsink. For future maintenance, a replacement thermal pad can also be found in the package.
VRM heatsinks and heatpipe
A VRM heatsink on the MOSFETs and chokes is connected to the aluminum I/O cover via an embedded heatpipe to increase mass and surface area for dissipation.
M.2 heatsink and backplate
Dedicated heatsinks on the front and back of the M.2 slot ensure that your drive delivers peak performance, even if airflow is restricted.
Chipset heatsink
A dedicated heatsink draws heat away from both chipsets to maintain optimum operating temperature.
Cooler Compatibility
The ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E GENE bears the same mounting hole alignment as AM4 platforms, so it is backward compatible with many existing coolers, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
PCIE 5.0
Fully embracing the new standard, the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene offers abundant Gen 5 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.
WiFi 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
Onboard Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, smooth lag-free gaming and high-res video streaming.
ROG SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software that provides superior audio. In the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene, SupremeFX features the ALC4080 codec for immersive 384 kHz resolution audio across all channels. The front-panel output is streamed through a highly integrated Savitech amplifier that’s capable of driving a wide variety of gaming headsets and high-fidelity headphones.
