Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact

AMD AM4 X570 Mini-DTX enthusiast gaming motherboard with an SO-DIMM.2 card (dual M.2), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax), PCIe 4.0, SupremeFX audio, Aura Sync RGB LED lighting, SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Crosshair VIII IMPACT The ROG Crosshair VIII series heralds the arrival of Impact, the compact motherboard with colossal potential. Primped and primed for latest 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs, Crosshair VIII Impacts Mini-DTX frame packs loads of ATX-grade features, including advanced power delivery and cooling, dual M.2, next-gen Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and onboard SupremeFX audio. Its the perfect choice for a small-form-factor gaming rig ready to rival full-size builds. COMPACT DESIGN Impacts unusual Mini-DTX form factor is a deliberate choice. Many Mini-ITX cases ship with enough space for a dual-slot graphics card, meaning theres typically unused space below the bottom PCIe® slot ? space that could be utilized to mount more components or enable additional features. Being marginally taller than mini-ITX allows Impact to exploit this unused space, allowing ROG engineers to squeeze in features while still fitting a large proportion of mini-ITX PC cases. ROG Crosshair VIII Impact stacks up storage, audio and control features onto innovative vertical daughter boards, leaving us spare room onboard to add more connectivity and engineer features normally found on ATX boards into a small-form-factor (SFF) footprint. OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE ROG Crosshair VIII Impact is equipped with an optimized power design and comprehensive cooling to exploit prodigious might of the latest AMD Ryzen processors without performance-zapping thermal throttling. It also packs innovations to double up on memory and push frequencies to the max.
