Motherboard Overview

As you can see, this motherboard has more features that most people will likely ever need. However, key features like DIMM.2, 8 X DDR4 slots, USB 3.1, 4-Way SLI, and high-end audio are always welcome. Add to that, RGB lighting, a funky OLED display and pre-installed I/O, to name but a few, are all welcome additions too.

ROG ZENITH EXTREME

“More than a decade ago, ROG started with the original Crosshair motherboard for Athlon 64 FX CPUs. Our history began on AMD’s high-end desktop platform, and now with its X399 chipset & Ryzen Threadripper CPU, we have ROG Zenith Extreme. Named after the highest point in the celestial body, the new Extreme brings advanced overclocking, cooling and lighting together to push the limits of dream builds. ROG Zenith Extreme is locked, loaded and ready to rip.” – ASUS RoG

Included Extras

This motherboard doesn’t come cheap, but it is packed with crazy and awesome features. However, it comes with a LOT more too. There’s a couple of SLI bridges,  fan control expansion hub, and an M.2 expansion hub. Of course, there are two things that a LOVE about this bundle of goodies, a 10Gbe networking adaptor! And best of all, all the drivers and software come on USB, yay for finally ditching the CD-Rom!
