Cooling, Tweaking and Monitoring
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero offers high performance with efficient cooling and silent operation that you can monitor and tweak easily. The Fan Xpert system gives you temperature readings of all critical components of the system and the ability to tweak fan settings to address acoustics, performance and energy savings. For liquid cooling users, the motherboard has headers for a flow tachometer and temperature in/out sensors. There’s also a dedicated 1A header for all-in-one liquid coolers, a 3A header for water cooling pumps or high RPM industrial fans along with five other traditional headers for CPU and case fans.
Two-Way SLI and CrossFireX Support
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard equipped with the top-tier AMD X370 chipset is ready for powerful graphics setups supporting up to two-way SLI or CrossFireX. The main x16 slots are fully reinforced with SafeSlot which is an insert-molded steel bracing to reinforce the PCIe slot and handle heavy high-end graphics cards’ weight.
