Asus's X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (and its "Dark Hero" variant) top out at Ryzen 5000, but it hits a sweet spot in terms of price and features that should please price-conscious PC builders.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is a refresh of last year's award winning ROG Crosshair VIII Hero. With an even more powerful VRM, a sleek new look, and, most importantly, no chipset cooling fan, the ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero looks to be a worthy upgrade from last year's model.

It's certainly well equipped when it comes to features, but then again, when has the Crosshair series
